Didn't they flat out say US demand is what saved the line from cancellation?*like the DBZ line before it* Anyone aside from Geki and Burai was.
For Super Sentai? Absolutely not. The Sentai figures are no where near as popular as the rider ones, but they still sell pretty well and always top pre-order charts for online stores like Amiami and HLJ. And like I said before, contrary to popular belief, Zyuranger is a very popular season in Japan. Not the most popular, I doubt we would have the full team of them released so soon without the MMPR nostalgia from the West, but they would have done it eventually.
If you mean the US sales saved Digimon from cancellation.. then maybe, I don't follow that series closely enough to know. I just don't think it has the same levels of demand to be compared to something like DBZ.
Is DBZ really that much more of a thing in the US than in Japan?
It was hugely popular over in Japan for a while, but then it was largely forgotten when they moved onto the next thing. Much like what happened with Naruto and Tiger & Bunny.
This is why Figma are pumping out those Attack on Titan figures as quickly as possible, they know it'll only hold interest for so long.
