There’s no denying that the Skylanders franchise has been incredibly successful for Activision. New figures provided by the company show that the series has earned over $3 billion. Activision also says they have sold over two hundred and fifty million toys since they made their debut in 2011. The first entry into the series was Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure.
Skylanders Has Earned Over $3 Billion And Sold Over 250 Million Toys
And I still have zero interest in ever playing any of them.
I shall damn this abomination to hell.
Nintendo could sell double that amount in the same timeframe, if they stocked well from the beginning…
My thought exactly! They should give Nintendo a lesson in marketing…
If nintendo quit makeing toys in cell phone games and future NX games maybe it could save the WI U Afterall the Wii U does have the coolest controller of all time
The only reason I got the first game was because of Spyro, since I wanted to collect all his games. Since then, I’ve realized that Skylanders is a pile of bs that wants you wants you to pay like $70 a year for a crappy game, so I quit. Seriously, those games are brutally easy and because of that, terribly unfun. Although to be fair, it is a game targeted at children
That and you don’t even get all the gameplay unless you buy their 300+ figures, Sam with Disney infinity. At least Ammibos aren’t even close to a must have, they do enough to be worth buying but not THAT much. It’s ridiculous man.
Plus Ammibos do things over TONS of games. Those figures only work for that game.
Honestly the Skylanders games are not that bad, its just the fact that they require the figures to play that sucks. Probably would never happen, but would be great if many years from now after they stop the series that they would re-release the games with all of the characters in the game and with some extras like more difficulty options and higher levels caps.
this is one of the franchise I found well balance between game play and good business model. Kids or just simple fans will collection the figures anyway.
Skylanders is stupid toys just,like the nintendo Ambinos u fools quit wasteing yo dollars spend your dollars on sum wines and,mcchickens From,Mcdonalds
