Well to be fair, that 5.7 million figure is for just a little over a month and with Amiibo being available for a single device with an install base under 10 million (3DS doesn't have Amiibo support yet). While that 65 million figure is for an entire year with Skylanders being available on 10 platforms (Wii, Wii U, 3DS, 360, Xone, PS3, PS4, iOS, Android, Fire OS) with combined install bases of like a billion.

Youre over analysing,  the simple fact is, skylander and disney franchise figures are more universally popular to kids these days than nintendo figures. 

 

Its been like that for a long time. 

That wasn't over analyzing at all. It was literally just giving the most basic, logical explanation possible.

If amiibo was available for every platform ever with a much larger install base for a whole year, it would sell more than Skylanders. 6 million in about a month isn't bad (especially if you consider that 6 million figures times 12 months is 72 million).
