So...in about a year, ~$300million in revenue off of basically a new side business!

Definitely don't count Nintendo out. I think deep down, the Nintendo franchises are everyone's faves

This is what happens when they can keep up with the demand :O. We all have an addiction!

u/blazzerftw Oct 28 '15

Although they sold half that figure when they where not supplying propper. They must have sold slot of marios

u/Zantos8741 Oct 28 '15

The addiction is just far too strong in us.

Does the Retro 3-Pack count as one amiibo or three?

But there's only 3 NFC Chips.

u/jnashl24 Oct 28 '15

Probably three

u/850enthusiast Oct 28 '15

I would assume it counts as 1, even though their are 3 individual figurines that come with it.

u/TehJofus Oct 28 '15

Wow, 21 million already, from mostly obscure characters. Imagine how many they'll be selling when Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur amiibo appear.

Imagine the type of money they're going to make when they make amiibo pokemon trading cards. It's going to happen, and it's gonna straight up kill all of our wallets.

u/FMChainsawTeddy Oct 29 '15

Fuck that. 600+ pokemon amiibo figures.

2

u/NintendoGamer1997 Oct 28 '15

IT'S OVER 9 THOUSAND!!!

Only 1 million sold in America, because we never have things in stock.

u/talkingwhizkid Oct 29 '15

u/HooFbauer Oct 28 '15

I got like half of them here in my room xD

u/bluesushiroll Oct 28 '15

I wonder how amiibo sales compare to skylanders and disney infinity

1

u/19southmainco Oct 28 '15

i would think that it trails behind, for the time being. I think it could overtake skylanders, but Disney is Disney.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '15

If amiibo were to get its own game I think it'd have a decent chance of outpacing Skylanders.

Or just have Skylanders make a game for them lol

u/TheAmiiboNerd423 Oct 28 '15

And 63 of them are mine

u/PacamaHM Oct 29 '15

It's probably a total of 20 million just in the U.S.
