The amiibos are their last shot to sell at least decently this gen. If they can make their characters popular again, the game and console sales will increase as well.


Yeah they badly, badly need amiibo to be a hit. 

And I think it will do at minimum quite well for them, though the question I wonder about is whether it will be largely Nintendo hardcore fans buying (lots) of them as opposed to really expanding the userbase to new kids. 

Kids (or more likely their parents) may be more content to buy their kids Skyladners or Disney Infinity on their existing PS3/360/Wii rather than pay $300 to have to buy a new set of toys with.
