So, in other words, Nintendo's whole idea behind the amiibo were awful, and they are only selling well for a completely unintentional reason? XD

Yeah, I pretty much buy these things as collectibles that just happen to have some interactivity with my Nintendo games, or in some cases are required to unlock certain characters, skins, or features. People aren't buying them for their interactivity because thus far, the interactivity between amiibos and games has amounted to crap. They just aren't worth it for how they interact with the software. Personally, I take them out of the box, stick them on my shelf full of other video game stuff, and occasionally take them off to use their limited software interactivity. They are cheap li'l statues, display pieces, but not worth game accessories.
