| Skidmore said: Amiibo will do more money than Xbox Live/PSN combined.. That shit already sold 2,5 million in one month in the US. And there is a new wave almost each week. |
Amiibos sold 2.5M in Nov + December combined. PS+ has 11M (10.9M as of Jan. 4th) by itself and costs $50 while an Amiibo costs $12. 2.5M Amiibos @ $12 = $30M. 11M PS+ subs @ $50 = $550M. If they keep this pace of 2.5M per 2 months that is $180M. This is way way WAY behind PS+ and it doesn't even include Xbox LIVE.
In other words, your claim is HIGHLY unlikely, especially since PS+ and Live are recurring costs while a $12 Amiibo is not.
Edit - Nintendo rep says "Total sales", meaning Amiibos sales are very like not US only. Just in case you were wondering.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
