| baloofarsan said: Nintendo have sold +10,5 million amiibos since november 2014, that is roughly six months. There are 29 different amiibos as of february 2015. Nintendo have produced, in average, more than 60,000 copies of every amiibo every month (that is 2000 handpainted toys every day - times 29 different toys). To ramp up this production to meet this unexpected demand is probably not that easy. Nintendo should delay the next amiibo wave until they have the american market covered with the old waves. |
Depends a bit on where you live, but I agree that the situation is seemingly much better here than in North america.
It's also possible that Nintendo actually wanted to produce more Amiibos but couldn't. Remember all those defective figurines when the Amiibo launched? Pretty sure that they tried to ramp up the production lines for the holiday season only to find out the molds couldn't handle that much stress.
