Wow I had no idea these sold so much.

Well on the way to $3 billion in revenue from this franchise alone for Activison.

A heads up, the New 3DS which has been available in Japan and other countries for a while does support Amiibo's. Smart move by Nintendo though, $3 billion for activision, they could see there is demand for these figures.

Youre over analysing,  the simple fact is, skylander and disney franchise figures are more universally popular to kids these days than nintendo figures. 

Its been like that for a long time. 

so 6 million in about 2 months is not popular enough for you?

I don`t think it could have been better said than this. Good job : )

Amiibo sales seem very poor in comparison to Disney Skylander sales. Well, whether they sell better or not, or if things for better or the worse with amiibo, I hope Ninten can come up with really cool ways to use them and make cool figurines I would like to own.

Come on Ninten, make Splatoon Amiibo happen..! >: ) I want an inkling amiibo!

I've also never seen these irl but I've know knowledge of any toys these days unless I'm buying lego for my god son.

That's not what tach said.  And tbh i doubt he/she cares how popular any of these toys are no matter who makes them.

That wasn't over analyzing at all. It was literally just giving the most basic, logical explanation possible.

If amiibo was available for every platform ever with a much larger install base for a whole year, it would sell more than Skylanders. 6 million in about a month isn't bad (especially if you consider that 6 million figures times 12 months is 72 million).
