I am always surprised that merchandising alone does not keep them in business.

Too many knockoffs around the market.

Bootleg hurts, but that's not the reason why their merchandise wouldn't keep them afloat alone.  The main reason why is their huge operating fees.  They have to build their products and that's not a small fee.  All their consoles are $99 and above to purchase and small merchandise wouldn't build the profit they would need to continue the cycle.  But of course this whole Amiibo thing is really adding up their yearly.
