Probably.

But I dislike the Amiibo concept really much. It's such a misguided effort by Nintendo.

How is THIS expanding gaming?

Depends on what they do with them.

In what way do you think Amiibo figures can reach non-traditional gaming audiences?

Toys reach kids, which then grow up to then (hopefully) buy more traditional video games. Nintendo is probably trying to entice kids whose parents might be raising them on mobile gaming.
