"Iwata said Nintendo sold about 5.7 million of its new Amiibo figurines worldwide since late November, giving an early indication of whether the company’s strategy of selling toys will be successful. Iwata spoke at a briefing in Osaka today."

In just 2 months there are already 5.7 million amiibos sold worldwide!

With the N3DS amiibo support things should even look better for 2015.

Seems like the amiibos are doing very well for some stupid plastic toys.

They're looking like they'll get a hefty attach rate, that's for sure.

Indeed. I do wonder how many people bought multiple amiibos!

That's a pretty good number especially as not many games are using them yet.

Their compatibility with the new 3ds might help as well... Either way it's a good sign and I've contributed a whopping "3" to that total :D

You mean to Smash or per person? I think its more a per person thing. I don't know anyone who bought/intends to buy only 1 amiibo.

its only gonna get bigger with the new 3ds and like the 10 upcoming games that support them

For what they are, and what they have, that's not a bad figure. But all things considered, it's not much.

The amiibo hype is real!

That's incredible for a start! Nintendo and those blue oceans...

It is alot when you consider...

1. These account for 18 out of the 48 (or maybe 49-50) SSB amiibos released

2. Still has the Super Mario Line to come out, and possibly more

3. Has no Amiibo Game (like Disney Infinity/Skylanders) out at all and are only used for mostly collection purposes.

I consider that really good actually, imagine a hub world for amiibos only. :0
