We all know why amiibos sell well its because nintendo made a hyp for them by limiting the production, sony can do the same

The way you represented it wasnt gonna work because you pulled out natan drake instead of kids friendly ips. Also its mostly nintendo people who voted no there

Umm no that sounds like an awful idea. This whole NFC thing is going to come crashing down just like the music genre and fitness genre. It's only a matter of time with so many companies joining in, the market is going to get saturated. You've already got Activision, Disney, and Nintendo in the market. Now Warner Bros is joining in with fucking LEGOS which are going to destroy anything Disney or Nintendo puts out because of how damn popular those things are with kids.

The thread talks about NFC as a whole, from Skylanders to Infinity and then to Amiibo. The topic was about Sony or MS making their own figures to try their own open world game, or unlockable content. Nathen Drake was one example I used for a poll. People could have made other suggestions. I didn`t limit it to one character or anything.

Also, amiibo sell well because people want their favorite characters and the figurines look cool. I don`t think Nintendo hyping the figures is the only reason they sell so well...

I don't know how to say this nicely. Sony shouldn't do this because it would end badly for them. It would feel like another me too move and most gamers wouldn't buy it. Besides it wouldn't get the kids attention because their IPs don't have the appeal that the others do.

Well they could always make proper action figures, Revoltech seems pretty popular as a figure series in Japan, I even own a set of Evangelion Rebuild series Eva's on my shelf and are damn good quality with godlike posability, Sony could go for that route in which they could both be used for games but offer more for teens and maybe kids to pose them in, Ammibos are only really used for games and looking good but you can't really do much with them in terms of posing/toying with.

 I guess. I still have yet to open my Lucario Amiibo, mostly because he's still extremely hard to find, but also because I don't really see the purpose behind them.

In order for Sony to have any sort of success, they'd need to actually use their IP. Unfortunately, while Sony is sitting on a mountain of IP but doesn't really do anything with it.

Sony doesn't have that many well known franchises outside of God of War, GT (last gt didn't sell that well if memory serves me correctly) and uncharted. So not amiibos won't work that well for Sony.

No.
