For what they are, and what they have, that's not a bad figure. But all things considered, it's not much.

Oh you were expecting 25 milions or something?

It is alot when you consider...

1. These account for 18 out of the 48 (or maybe 49-50) SSB amiibos released

2. Still has the Super Mario Line to come out, and possibly more

3. Has no Amiibo Game (like Disney Infinity/Skylanders) out at all and are only used for mostly collection purposes.

I consider that really good actually, imagine a hub world for amiibos only. :0

4. Only Wii U supports amiibos so far

The N3DS will make it even better!

If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

They're looking like they'll get a hefty attach rate, that's for sure.

You mean to Smash or per person? I think its more a per person thing. I don't know anyone who bought/intends to buy only 1 amiibo.

To Wii U.

Just imagine what this number could turn into if they actually release a game that centers itself around the toys. I wouldn't be surprised to see this title announced at E3 and be a free download. Hmmm...Nintendoland 2: Amiibo Rising confirmed?

nice little source of extra money.
5.7m sales translate to $74m revenue.

Makes it all the more impressive how Skylanders generated more than $2000m revenue.

That's great. Not sure what the analysts were saying as far as ''disappointing sales''. Silly analysts

I'd like to have 4-5 in total. Currently got 3.

This is incredibly good though. I wonder if by the time MP10 releases, amiibo would sell 7m?
Nintendo needs another TV commercial in all continents about them again. It's time. They haven't done any for amiibo's since Smash. It's definitely time for another.

I read the Forbes report, they somehow got it in their heads that this would be a Skylanders level of success overnight... It's pretty clear they don't fully understand what purpose the amiibo even serve.
