Well, I'm sure they have always been well aware of Spyro's past popularity. I'm pretty sure that's the big reason why the chose to create the franchise around the property, as it served as a good base for them to expand out from. I've never been very high on the Skylanders Series and always trend toward the belief Spyro is at his best in his own franchise. I'm not down on folks who enjoy Skylanders but to me it was always a bit of an injustice because the focus would never really be on the Spyro character, instead just featuring him because of his popularity. They do keep a pretty heavy focus on him in the TV series because that reaches a much more broad audience then the individual video games do, and Spyro is still the most popular draw.
I just think that they saw the opportunity after the success of the remastered Crash games to really cash in on the original model. I don't think they have any intention of doing anything beyond that, but who knows. I really do hope it shows that Spyro in his traditional focus is still a massive draw for individual titles.
