They have been sold 700k in USA as of 29th of November,multiply that with the price of amiibos!

Sounds like a success. I'm curious to see what the profits are.

Very successful actually since it's pretty much built for profit.

production cost

percentage of the retail store

shipping

so there goes your exclamation point

didnt a lot of analyst say nintendo would sell like 825k amiibo by the end of december
lol 125k to go

700k seems like a lot until you realize that it's only roughly 10M$ in revenue (revenue, not profits. Nintendo probably gets half of that amount. So they probably made 5M$ in profits from Amiibo's which is peanuts for a company like Nintendo). The problem with these low priced products is that you have to sell a lot in order for them to be worthwhile. But we'll see, if they can sell 500k-1m per month, then that's what I'd call a success.

EDIT: I wouldn't call them a failure. I'd say that Amiibo's have been a moderate success so far.

Anyone that thinks its a failure is pretty cray cray lol

This amiibo thing is going to transcend console cycles. I mean think about it.

Nintendo: "shoot, we have Metroid Prime 5 coming out on the Thwii but we already released the Samus model for Smash and Prime 4 on the Wii U so everybody already has it..."

Random Nintendo employee: "We could release an UPDATED model showing off the shiny white Samus armor (that allows you to have a PURE WHITE armored Samus during the whole game)"

Nintendo: "We shall promote you!"

It's definitely a good start so far I suppose the next test will be if momentum holds up.

Im pretty sure that was the plan from the start...
