CoroCoro's Beyblade X feature page looked back at the number of ships for each generation, and the one with the highest number of shipments is Metal Fight Beyblade. Burst is the longest series and is still on store shelves today, but even it can't meet the same number of shipments as Metal Fight Beyblade.
That number doesn't mean anything when shipments do not equal sales numbers you can have more shipped but doesn't mean you get to the same amount of profit.
Even if you take this number at its word, the number does not specify within Japan, within World Wide..., etc...
MFB having what 190 Million and Burst having 170 million shipped does not mean, "MFB>Burst" more shipped doesn't mean more profit in this case.
Burst has had on average more expensive products that Metal would've had more profit towards Takara Tomy.
Ex: BBG-27 Starter Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF is 997 and Divine Belial a booster is 1760Yen, or Xiphoid that is 2640Yen
Unless you get Takara Tomy to release the actual numbers I do not believe MFB did better than Burst.
We also should be clear not to downplay Burst since Burst is the generation that lived through COVID-19 which is an extremely major factor that affects people's ability to be able to afford Beyblade's, lack of tournaments and events that could've demotivated people from buying.
I believe Burst did very good for its 7 years.
