They also show teens playing those game which is...unlikely.

Heh, I'm 31 and myself and my wife have completed the 3 games on 360 and own them all on the 3ds too, tis a great co-op dungeon crawl, should mention we also have about 1k worth of the figures... which isn't even all of them. Not many kids can afford these figures on their own, if you check out youtube there are several hundred mature collectors of the figures with popular channels showing them off.

I really don't think kids on their own have that amount of disposable income and they wouldn't be able to wrangle that sort of cash out of parents unless the parents knew they were more than just €20 figures with no articulation.

How long will it take you and your wife to buy all 49 Amiibo's? (12 at launch.) =D

When Nintendo showed those off... it hit me right in the wallet. Just got the 3DS version of smash there tho, not sure how they're going to make them an essential purchase without deterring people from buying their games. (considering skylanders without figures is completely unplayable)

I hope they find a nice balance between making them useful and not fleecing people, there is nothing quite like having your in game character sat on a shelf after the game is over, really makes a difference to a collection.
