How does this compare to LTD sales and annual sales of other toy to life series?

Skylanders were at over 100m at the same point in time.

They are at over 250m as of June 3, 2015.

Skylanders are really another kind of beast. They are cheaper I think though.

 

But skylanders and Disney Infinity are available on multiple consoles! = More people can use it! 



Pocky Lover Boy!

That's kind of interesting. Why the increase? Nintendo indicated that they wanted Amiibo to reach children and to bring in new consumers but instead hardcore Nintendo fans and collectors were the primary consumer group. What was Nintendo's individual Amiibo output like during this period? Could this indicate that Amiibo reached outside the normal Nintendo fan group?

Nah, just the demand was caught up finally this Holiday. 

If they want to cater to non die hard fans, they need to make their own  "skylanders"  ip. O ly way to bring them in imo

Skylanders are really another kind of beast. They are cheaper I think though.

Skylanders cost around $3 more, though unlike amiibo which are usually sold individually with the occassional 3-pack,  Skylanders do have a lot of double and triple packs.  Aside that every copy of the Skylander games come with 2-3 figures, unlike amiibo which is some games with a occassional LE with one amiibo.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

its casuals who are buying Amiibos more than anything else, you have it backwards

its that kid, or older person with memories, who sees a Pikachu Amiibo and either goes "omg cute!" OR "omg I remember playing Pokemon"

I doubt the 'hardcore' Nintendo subgroup is the reason they're selling well, despite the individuals with complete sets and whatnot



they're selling well because people are...buying them

mind blown lol

but yeah it just seems like everyone from hardcore to casuals are buying them up and it doesnt seem to be stopping anytime soon

heck even the card based amiibos are selling tons

Total number of amiibo shipped:

America: 18.62m
Japan: 4.43m
Europe: 6.61m
Other: 1.35m



Dang, 31 mil in total? Not bad. If they properly stocked the damn things in the beginning, it could have been higher def. At least they are stocking them well now. I can grab the ones I want now without a fight, haha.
