Slow burn. It's a platform in it's first year. Nintendo wants this to be like Trading Card games and this is akin to Yu-gi-oh. "As of February 2015, the Skylanders series has crossed the threshold of $3 billion in sales, with 175 million toys sold since 2011, making the series one of the top 20 highest-selling video game franchises of all time." Since 2011 release. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylanders#Reception These figurines have long legs. This is the start. |
bad comparison Skylanders sell to a MUCH bigger install base than Amiibo currently does. Hell even when you throw in 3ds numbers its still much smaller

Time, time, time. If this is the reception for amiibo as the market is, it stays relivent for more than two or 3 years. It would always be a buyers market in high demand. Nintendo will not have only have the Amiibo platform in a year from now, but the next year going. Perhaps nintendo keeps this market open for another 3 years, in what kind of position would they be? DeNA, NX, Nintendo Network, Nintendo is slow, but we can see them moving towards other venues in recent years and have even accepted the mobile industry. It wouldn't surprise me if nintendo does give smartphones amiibo access after . And if they did, it would only help them and their contractual partners involved.
It would be best for Nintendo to have this kind of amiibo infrastructure for the time being. Perhaps long in the future we may have a direct to you figurine, something to fix this scalper issue. Don't get me wrong, I talk about it, but I would rather have a fair market for which finding your favorite amiibo is easily done. But until they have more than just the limited market of the people who have bought a Wii U and a N3DS, they need to keep this hype up.

Nice response -
What kind of store do you have?- The Amiibo raffle sounds like a great idea
Is it possible for me to respond directly without using "quote" each time?
Someone told me before but it s been awhile and i can t remember
It`s definitely helping Nintendo, and annoying fans too. I went from "I`ll get some eventually" to "Oh gosh, better go hunt for my favorites on day one". Their plan is good, but it would be great if they released small shipments more often then never at all...
Dance my pretties!

Short supply to make the demand go crazy, ingenious plan.
Hopefully, one day, they actually provide a huge supply to meet said demand, but I kinda doubt it at this rate.
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
Some of these things are pretty hard to find. I picked up a Rosalina at Target. The box was a bit beat up, but I knew they were hard to find. And I find out my kids don't even want it... lol. Figures.
Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Except yaknow, Activision actually produces skylander figures.
