I think its pretty obvious Nintendo is working on their own version of a toy+videogames business.

And really, does anyone here really care about skylanders? Its a kid's game.


I doubt anyone does care about Skylanders here, apart from maybe buying it for a kid, nephew, younger brother etc.  I thought it was interesting because it is another possible example of Nintendo failing in third party relations.


I don't think Skylanders is the ripest example for third-party failure on Nintendo's end though. They still aggressively co-market it with Activision.

It's not an accident that Skylanders sells best on both last and next Wii platforms.


I always thought that was more to do with the Wii audience being younger, and closer to the target market for Skylanders.

Interestingly though, the last game, SWAP Force, sold more on PS3 + 360 (1.58 mil) than Wii (1.57 mil).  The same holds true for PS3 + PS4 + 360 + XBOne (1.85 mil) than Wii + WiiU (1.82 mil).
