Or as I always put it, "Show us on this doll where Nintendo touched you."

Good for Nintendo.

Yeah something like that would "make sense" but Nintendo has their hands full already and can't keep up so they gotta bring in outside help to develop some of their own games on their own system. Don't see it making much sense to do something like this. There are so many classic Nintendo games which if they would remake them and put them on wiiu it would be instaprofits like Metroid Prime or Mario Galaxy ect. And Nintendo is going to be hugely profitable overall this generation based on what they are already doing perhaps companies like Microsoft need more advise on how to turn profit on gaming.

1 BILLION IN USA AMIIBOS? WOW! THAT'S ALREADY MORE THAN MOST MOVIES!

I was about to tell that but i was afraid to use the word downplay!Train wreck ninpie spoke,he is right and you know that he isn't used to defend wii u.:P

I did not miss it because Nintendo sales are not up as of their last earning statement.  Did you miss the part where Nintendo is only forcasting that information (as in it hasn't happened yet)?  You're writing as if thats affirmative but their fiscal year ends March 31 so that billion dollar amount is not definite.

so, why Sony can't profit? 

OP: $1 BILLION from Amiibo? Holy Fuck!

Early reports of Amiibo show that it is doing well. I was not going off their forecasts. However, if we were to go off their forecast, then we can estimate a lower outcome because Nintendo sucks at predicting recently, but that's still amazing. Amiibo, if you like them or not, are being bought and Nintendo is making money off of them. The analysts list that as one of their reasons for upgrading their rating. Simple.

Sounds like you just dont like nintendo ;-D

Sony should be positively affected by this as well, but they have other problems.
