Not exactly. Like any tv show, anime main income should be from broadcast. People buying DVDs or BDs is a just a bonus really. And, of course, what really matters is Japan, export is also just a bonus.
Don't get me wrong, they do matter, but there would still be plenty to watch without them.
Is that right? I thought because anime was so diverse that when it's being broadcast it was like a promotion for their Manga, DVD's/BD's and merchandise where their main income will come in, since almost every show is limited to one broadcast(I only know of soul eater to have gotten 2 airings in recent years) I was convinced they relied on product sales for their real cash. I've took that as fact for years, so I'm kinda surprised.
