I mean, at least I always knew Amiibos would be a success. I always believed in Splatoon too, but I never expected it to do THIS amazing numbers.

But yeah... Amiibos beating Disney and Skylanders figures and selling this much is really impressive. And those 800k in Oct mean that they're still growing!

Source?
Skylanders should be easily bigger than both combined and I'm pretty sure Disney does more than amiibos as well.

Do we have specific numbers for those?

Not sure for Disney, but Skylanders has this:
http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2014/02/Skylanders_Infographic.jpg

175m toys sold and ~$2b revenue as of Dec 31 2013 (it says February '14 on the pic, but that's when they announced their quarterly results)
$3b revenue reached as of Dec 31 2014 (by my own calculation ~260m toys sold)
Probably around 300m toys sold as of today.

amiibo: 21m as of Oct 2015

Disney Infinity: idk too lazy to look but I remember reading about it a few months ago that it has a bigger share than amiibo in the US but not by that much.

You know how I feel.
Talking about DLCmiibo, if Wolf Link transfers important data to Zelda HD maybe I'll bite.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

2014 and one retail (Best Buy), but since amiibos are ever growing... I bet we'll get an announcement at Christmas that they're outselling the competition.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

as I have already proven above, Skylanders is outselling amiibo by a lot.

Btw. that's just the online ranking of BestBuy.com and doesn't account for retail sales at all.

Are you really comparing LT sales for both? In that case, of course Skylanders will win by a thousand miles...
