Wow both Amiibo figures and the cards selling really well in France. The French sure do love a bit of Nintendo, they have great taste.

"US sales have been disappointing so far"
Didn't expected that, but I could see this coming.

1 million Amiibo in France is quite good actually! I wonder why Nintendo in general is doing so well in France compared to the UK.

I think that was referring to Yokai Watch sales in the US.

Those amiibo figures are impressive for France. I guess the disappointing part is referring to Yo-Kai Watch sales in US.

I wonder how much Yo-Kai will sell LT on the west. I can se it doing 1m.

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

That's just for Yokai Watch. It's not that surprising it hasn't caught on yet in North America.

France is probably Nintendos strongest European market.
