Again, I will post this from page 5, as apparently most haven't seen it:
*tbone, you might want to update OP to reflect the inaccuracy that has been pointed out, since many ppl still think the "$1 billion sales" aim for amiibo is true*
If any of you doubt me, look at David Gibson's posts on Twitter that echo the following:

The $1 billion in sales from amiibo is an inaccuracy. In a recent Bloomberg article from November, Reggie is quoted as estimating that the entire "toys-to-life" category, including Skylanders, Amiibo, and Disney Infinity, could generate as much as $1 billion in revenue.
The article in the OP is inaccurate.
Here is the link from a prior article, where the proper context of the "$1 billion" quote originated from:
"Super Smash Bros. is the first Nintendo title that will also support Amiibo, the interactive figurines that the company is also introducing for the holidays. Amiibo will compete with Activision’s Skylanders franchise and Walt Disney Co.’s Infinity in a category Nintendo calls “toys-to-life.”
Such interactive toys are set to pull in about $1 billion in sales this year in the U.S., according to Fils-Aimes. The ability to use Nintendo’s figurines in multiple games may draw fans to the $12.99 Amiibo figures, which will later be brought to the 3DS handheld console, he said."

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
