Holy crap. I knew amiibo would be big with hardcore nintendo fans, but it seems like casuals must be buying these things up as well.
Now imagine if the next pokemon game has amiibos. Mega evolved amiibos. Shiny amiibos. Would be a huge missed opportunity if they don't do this.
Don't know why everyone's celebrating. Obv they're selling too well and are going to ruin Nintendo.
The adapter is coming in the summer.
The world woukd not be ready for 719 pokemon amiibos XD. Gotta buy them all!
The profit margins on this thing should be massive (how much exactly we looking at?)
How long before the initial "collector spree" ends?
Explain
Can you believe there were people who said amiibos were a dumb idea?
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

2.6 million sounds impressive, but when you look at the size of the toys-to-life genre, which Reggie states would pull in $1 billion in the US alone, the revenue from amiibo is really nothing.
Who's buying these things? Everyone should be embarrassed and ashamed owning "dolls" like these.
2.5 million sales just means a lot of people out there have major issues and are just shut in losers. Society is crumbling and it's all thanks to Nintendo.

does someone need a hug?
Pretty sure he meant one billion Yen.
Why in the world would Reggie be saying 1 billion yen in the US.
Come on people...
Skylanders/Disney Infinity have been out for multiple years. The first Skylanders have been selling for over 4 years.
These have been out for a little over a month.
It's much more than that boo
- Increases visibility for Nintendo characters on store shelves
- Enhance business opportunities through licensing ventures
- 30-40% profit margins are great for Nintendo's bottom line
- 1 market, include Japan & Europe and more, much more than just 13 million
- Longterm prospects - new revenue stream, they are not going to stop selling.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for Wii U where the playable Pokemon are Amiibos you collect. Do it Nintendo!
skylanders was a massive success from day 1
Weren't they equal to the sales of Smash in November? Now they're double?
holy shit.
And so was the Wii..... Like he said, hindsight.
Why in the world would Reggie be saying 1 billion yen in the US.
Come on people...
1 billion yen is also nothing, this made far more than 1 billion yen.
He was referring to the genre as a whole.
This was a smash hit from the moment it was announced.
It's because this gravy train isn't just stopping tomorrow dude
nintendo are idiots for not releasing amiibo sooner
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.
No excuse not to up production then? lol.
I hope this means we get a good assortment for other series, namely Animal Crossing.
If Nintendo have any sense, they're probably planning an entire line of just Isabelle.
They will.
It's going to be called Pokemon
I want to see the insanity of them releasing a pokemon game and Pokemon Amiibo for each species of Pokemon. 600+ Pokemon now, right? All dem Amiibos.
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
Oh Goodness. A Pokemon MMO with the 151 original as Amiibos, it's a scary thought.
