Do you think Piccolo will be made more relevant to promote the Namekian race in DBH and xenoverse?

Dragonball Super really seems to be made to push toys, so what are the chances of this happening?

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Short Answer: No.

Slightly less short answer: Still no. They don't need to make Piccolo more relevant to move merchandise, and a create-a-character function in a fighting game has nothing to do with that. All they need to do is recolor more Super Saiyans. Hell, they're probably going to move plenty of Goku Black merchandise, so maybe they should start recoloring characters outright. Basically, Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes are popular on their own merits (likely more the former, though), not because of anything stupid Dragon Ball Super does.
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.
DBZ Movie 3 told a stronger and more believable "Evil Goku" story in 60 minutes than Dragon Ball Super has in 20 episodes. And it did it with better visuals and score.

They basically brought back Vegito to sell toys and video games. My guess is anything goes now.

... and why Piccolo, when you can have another namekian and sell 2 toys.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.
