It'll probably help that multiple games are coming out in the next few months that use amiibo. Besides the New Leaf update, that's been sorely lacking.

psp > gba > 3ds > gb 1996-2002 > gb 1989-1996
from where the 3ds started, and given the health of the dedicated hardware industry, i think that the 3ds wound up doing pretty well for itself. it definitely set the stage for the switch quite nicely, and even has a decent 2017 ahead of it, especially once third-parties chime in a bit more.

Damn 500M for OR/AS
jk.While the craze is over, amiibo is holding up nicely for not really having any huge release in sometime. It'll need games to continue the line, which switch will provide. I'm still surprised the amiibo cards worked out as well as they did. I was skeptical on the AC packs. Most are sold out with the last two series getting restocks just now...
On the other hand, if the trend continues, the lackluster NSMB2 could also outsell the legit good game SM3DL. Sad.

People needing to wash their eyes and memories of Metroid federation force and remind themselves of NLG as a competent developer, still feel bad for them having to make that turd, glad this one is still selling, possibly 3x as much here compared to the Ltd of that disaster.

So their eshop revenue is down a ton and Super Mario Run only had four million PAID downloads....wonder if they'll ever think maybe they should price their digital stuff correctly and also have sales? Nah, they won't do that.
You what?
Where did you find that?
The only official info we have is that in roughly 10 days, Super Mario Run had 50 million downloads.
EDIT:
Ah ok, paid download.

You mean bought instead of download then
Updated OP, Nintendo made ~$538 million in profit for this quarter, ~63% of their cumulative profits came from this quarter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yeah paid downloads, sorry - but I think they should have priced it aggressively at $2.99.
Sales in the category of Smart devices, IP related income, etc. was 7,275 mio Yen this quarter. The previous 6 months were only 3,408 mio Yen. While I assume that IP related income also increased, a decent chunk of this should be coming from Super Mario Run sales.
Also, forecasts for 3DS HW were adjusted.
3DS HW: 7.2 mio (before: 6.0 mio)

They are always in time to do temporary price discount (well after Android version is released of course) and push a notification.
and let customers think 2D Mario is worth only 3 dollars?
I think Nintendo, to the detriment of mobile sales, very intentionally made it a premium product so it doesn't devalue the whole IP.
Eventual temporary sales are a much better approach

Wow, N3DS is very low. No wonder faceplates dried up.

Do you expect people paying $2.99 for Super Mario Run to easily make the jump to $39.99, $49.99 or $59.99 Mario games? If they just wanted to make truckloads of money off mobile whales, they would have released a microtransactions-laden F2P Super Mario Run.

Pros and Cons to both sides - I do hope it does well over all, which for that amount of revenue collected, it most likely has. Still it pains me to see only 5% thought it was worth buying. Which I know is high for mobile, but only 5% buying it seems extremely small for a Mario game.

You mean $39 million?
Woops, fixing it up.
Edit: That feels disappointing because Pokémon Go has almost made $1 billion in revenue.

Probably would have sold not too much better due to mobile environment and made less revenue because of it
Does super mario run have any IAP? Pokemon GO makes money on its business model and cultural phenomenon status
Honestly I'm skeptical. We are asking for 15℅ conversion rate to make the same revenue by quick math
Probably only can go f2p model to beat it.

It's still way below the GBA lifetime number. Not so beastly, really.
Maybe Super Mario Run could get to 6 million total purchases or more when it comes out on Android in March.
Edit:
No, it's just I'm noticing the magnitude in difference of revenue for Super Mario Run and Pokémon Go.

Not too disappointing at all.
It's only been out just over a month. Android version not available yet.
I bet there isn't any similarly priced app on iOS that has sold as much regardless of type of app. Obviously there aren't that many £7.99 apps.

Yeah but we are taking one time payment vs a constant stream of money from over 100+ downloads

I don't think anyone on here thought it would do well without online. Truly an egg on all of our faces.
It started off selling faster than the DS and sales began to fall after the 2nd full fiscal year.
Why? There's not really anything better out there despite the botched sharing of levels.
A 2D Mario with level creation tools on a popular Nintendo handheld. This was pretty much one of the easiest moneymakers, and Nintendo agrees on this given how fast they produced the port.
I think it was 2 million, almost 6 million when combined with Wii U version.
600 million downloads.
I'm still waiting for a western release of the hanafuda one

Still amazing what a phenomenon Go became
Sales in Europe were high right? France I think, would be nice to know the sales there
I thought it was interesting how Europe keeps growing its share on the net sales since a while (even if the sales per-se declined like everywhere else)
Forecasted R&D expenses for the next FY apparently will be higher than both 2015 and 2016... fascinating.
Advertising too but that's to be expected

Well, they can either be working on the next console or... The fact that the Joy-Cons for the Switch are detachable means they could come up with new kinds of controllers with new tech aside from what we've seen of HD Rumble and the IR Motion Camera.
