Nintendo margin: 10 dollars Retailer margin: 10 dollars. Taxes: 5 dollars. End price: 26 dollars. That means huge profit indeed, even with low sales. Like, with 2 million adopters buying an average of 5 figurines, this would mean 100 million profit for each set, with no costs attached (meaning, developing, since it is not a game). |
$5 in taxes? Just how bad is it in Brazil? On a $21 dollar item in the US, taxes would be about $1.50-1.80 (depending on the state you live in).
Amiibo could be the driving force to put the Wii U into big sales. If Dinsey Infinity and Skylanders can get as big as they did, Nintendo has it made.

I agree, this will be so huge that I think Sony will do a similar line of figurines right after it, with Drake, Helgast, Kat and the whole gang...
Here in Brazil taxes can get to 80% in some products. It does change from product to product, like, beer has 40% taxes, some washing machines have 12% and so on... It is a big mess.
