Yeah but it is not selling units anymore

What's your point? The Wii sold better in its first few years than the PS2 did. The Wii didn't sell as much as the PS2 in the end because the PS2 had incredible legs, which is the opposite of what you were implying.

Or he just have a different opinion. You know, that can happen, even when no bias is involved.
So far i really not annoyed by amiibos, though i do believe Nintendo will cross that line eventually in one game or another. But until now the "best" amiibo functions are either Splatoon (extra 2D "waiting in line" minigames and some cosmetic) or Smash (a slightly different CPU, easily replaceable by putting an actual CPU on your team). Get real, no one cares about a second yoshi (but the amiibo itself looks nice). When figurines are being used to completely block characters in skylanders or disney infinity, those amiibo are hardly a problem until now.
If you want to tackle Nintendo DLC, look to Fire Emblem Awakening. But honestly, Nintendo and other companys most of the time did a good job with DLC, which is not by definition a bad thing. But there are bad uses of DLC, and those deserve criticism.
@Topic
I will leave the big 3 out of here, because i think almost everyone is biased to at least of of them.
In third partys, some companys like Bethesta, WB, Rockstar get some undeserved passes, but i do agree with all the criticism EA and Ubisoft receive.

So you agree with me then that they're overcharging DLC, thanks.

Then why did you say this?
Ruler said: Its a fact that the PS4 is on the same route like the PS2 in terms of sales or more, so it means it will eventually outsell the wii espacially given that the wii was for 8 years on the market while the PS2 was 6 years |

Well no, it's not a double standard as I already mentioned such DLC does not bother me. Also, all I see wherever I go is people ragging on amiibo, so no, it's not much of a double standard. If anything, they're unfairly criticized and not well understood.
They need to be viewed separately from most DLC as a big selling point is the physical figurine, and they can also be used across multiple games.
The double standard that grinds my gears the most in gaming is pretty much everyone claiming they want new stuff, but when new stuff comes out it is outsold by Game #2, The Sequel: Time to play it again after playing it again.
