I think its hit the saturation point. I think you'll begin to see them less and less until they are finally phased out. |
You may want to double check some of those statements, Nintendo just gave figures for them at the last quarterly report and they were up YOY.

I did. You're right they spoke about it, but they didn't note if it was up YOY or not. Feel free to check on that if you want. Here is what I found
" We also made moves to expand our amiibo line, by launching the new Splatoon series amiibo. Our amiibo sales were approximately 5.10 million units for figure-type and approximately 2.80 million units for card-type."
