Hooray!And half of them are rare characters owned by that one nerd trying to spite fans of said characters, not realizing that him buying 100 Rosalinas will just send a signal to Nintendo to put Rosalina in more games

skylanders was a massive success from day 1
nintendo waited way too long to release a competitor
they had plenty of time. 3 years is way too late.

This is what will happen when they make that Pokemon MMO.
Yo what on earth would be the launching pad for Amiibos 3 years ago? Nintendo land? Wii U has barely been out for 2. Let's be practical people
they could have made a ton of money if they actually primed amiibo to combat skylanders
instead we get amiibo three years after skylanders
lots of potential revenue squandered
Cool, so Nintendo knows they're successful. Maybe they'll start making some of the rarer figures easier to obtain and I can finally start collecting 'em.
Now the logical next step would be to make an amiibo focused game
They will not make an amiibo focused game
They will just release them then discontinue them and release new ones. Besides they gonna release cards for people who arent lucky anyway.I don't know if I agree. Won't a lot of Pokemon figures not be that popular? Like, for less-known Pokemon.
I always got the impression from threads here that people just get them because of the toy than any sort of amiibo integration in games.
Kinect and Playstation Move came out four years after the Wii did.
I'm not too surprised. I have 15 and I don't even have a Wii U or 3DS yet.
even disney anticipated skylanders and released disney infinity in august 2013.
nintendo had lots of resources to come up with something before november 2014.
I got a Captain Falcon and I bothered to train him on one occasion, he just sits on my shelf being Falcon. I have Lucina and Ness on preorder now.I always got the impression from threads here that people just get them because of the toy than any sort of amiibo integration in games.
You just compared a championship Formula 1 club with pleasantly successful Cyclist team. You and me are done here
they have no good reason to release a skylanders competitor nearly a year and a half after disney.
nintendo are idiots for not releasing amiibo sooner
Now Imagine the sales if Nintendo actually made enough to supply to meet demand.
everyone knows it already... but Nintendo f*cked up "amiibo" massively:

They released it years late and on... wiu... also, it's 2015 and Nintendo still doesn't have "amiibos" on their portable console... and is still not ready for pokemon...
edit: simply embarrasing (seriously)
what?
nintendo is a first-party console manufacturer. their entire business is creating video games and video game hardware.
disney's video game business is a very minor part of their company.
nintendo---of all people---should have reacted to the market more swiftly.

Retail sales equivalent of $32.5 million
Profit margins should be between 30-40%
Nintendo must be happy.
No, we are good. If you can't differentiate between a planet eater like Disney and a day player like Nintendo, explaining the concept of financial and production risks to you is a complete waste of time. Not to mention we're talking an American corporate tactics vs Japanese?
There's no fortune teller in the world like a person on Neogaf with a shit ton of a lot of hindsight
Doesn't Codename STEAM have Amiibo Support? That's for Handheld. The N3DS also has the built-in NFC reader, so they're "only" missing the adaptor, right?
(Which they should be selling by now if they aren't).
But yeah, I have 2 Amiibos and no game bar MK8 that supports them, and I live in Brazil, so I can't even get them here. Hopefully their utility keeps rising.
I think you picked the wrong thread.
So possibly a profit of 13 million? Impressive but I'm not sure why people are freaking out over it. It's not exactly a success worthy of printmoney.gifs
