Will it be a success is a vague question...what exactly defines a success? Will it make money? Obviously...the development cost is likely extremely low and they will make a profit on each figure. Will it make the Wii U sell a billion copies? Well no...it will likely have minimal effect on hardware (and what effect it does have will be mixed into Smash and Holiday making it impossible to judge).
I personally think that amiibo are here to stay and they gain more and more value as more games are released, but without a game of their own, they will never reach their maximum potential.
