Update: It would seem as though even more amiibo have been sold than Kotaku suggests as Nintendo sold an additional 4.2 million amiibo between May to June. This means they have sold 14.7 million.
Nintendo has revealed in its Corporate Social Responsibility Report that they have shifted over 10.5 million amiibo figures worldwide since they were launched back in November 2014. That’s certainly a lot of amiibo and they would have undoubtedly shifted a few more had certain figures not been so difficult to find.
Thanks, Gamer1000
Amiibo launched November 2014 ;)
Silly Kotaku! I’ve updated the article :)

Hey! I’m the troll here, not you.

LOL!
Tetris Quadradus XP!
Why those assholes?
…what?
Not you. Kotaku. WTH even likes those assholes anyway?
Lol, Typical Stranga
I wish it were. If we put aside the sales I think it will go down as a console with some of the best exclusives.
>>>True, specially Bayonetta 2>>>
Of course these toys have done so well, because Nintendo is made for filthy kiddy casuals.
most people are casual gamers who play video games. wake up
No wonder Nintendo has become so shitty over the years…
because most people are casual “everything” as in, unless you are the very rare “pro” gamer or video game magazine writer, editor or reviewer etc… this is a past time, a hobby… games.
If you aren’t making money from this, or not between the ages of 8-16, and playing more than a couple hours of video games a day (or doing anything for more than a couple hours a day that is pretty much a “hobby” because that is what it is when you don’t make money doing it unless it is part of a bogger pursuit) you had better re-evaluate your life and what you want to do with yourself (the general “you”, not you specificially since I don’t know you)
I can’t believe you actually wasted your time making that comment… You obviously fell right into my blatant trolling.
I actually feel the need to apologize.
that’s cool… Nintendo and Amiibo are just for a bunch of babies anyway :)
Well okay then, I stand corrected. You’re alright.
Im a 28 year old baby boooy.
Someone bust out the Moosehead and Zig Zags, its time to live it up for the Babys!
Excuse me?
Door to the left I believe.
I’ll get the goat to sacrifice!
wiiu is a EVERYBODY CONSOLE casual to core
lol the controller advancment and choice alone proves that IDIOTS THINKING PRESSING TRIANGLE ON A DUALSHOCK IN A QTE IS CORE GAMING
RETARDED FUCKS
So if someone does what they enjoy doing they should reevaluate thier life? I dont get your words of wisdom sir. Here’s mine: Do what you enjoy doing NOW, life is short and death is sudden.
most people can’t live that way.
They can, actually. They just have to learn how to better use what little free time they do have.
sure they do. keep telling yourself that
Wow, an intelligent comment in this website, I can’t believe this!
YES NINTENDO IS CASUAL
SUPPORTING THE MOST ADVANCED 9 AXIS MOUSE GYRO IN EXISTENCE A MOUSE POINTER WITH 3D AND A LEVEL OF CONTh ROLS AND CONTROLLER OPTIONS UN MATCHED BY ANY SYSTEM ON EARTH

YEP NINTENDOS SYSTEM ARE CASUAL
MEANWHILE OVER AT PLAYSTATION FANBOYS HOUSE A DUALSHOCK YEP CORE AS FUCK
If the actual technology is being wasted and is marketed in such a way that they try to appeal more to casuals, yes. Casual. Just because they put some neat gyroscopic shit and other stuff in their controllers doesn’t make them anti-casual.
The Playstation 4 controller is a refined, evolved controller that fits my hands perfectly. It’s an amazing controller.
I for one like the Wii U gamepad more though. I actually think its the best controller ever made.
But I will never understand fanboy bullshit. Why can you not enjoy video games as a whole, instead of choosing one coorporate company to follow like a mindless drone. PS4 has some amazing games and an amazing controller… Deal with it.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but Nintendo started of as a Toy Maker. So this is just simply going back to their roots, so to say.
They didn’t start as a toy maker smart one. They started out as a small company producing and selling Hanafuda cards. These toys don’t add at all to the game imo, I rather see them selling cool videogame gadgets. Here’s an idea.
https://youtu.be/7YWTtCsvgvg
This made me think of the gamepad, if Nintendo sold a gadget like this and implement it into their games, it would definitely add to the experience. You can basically turn your Wii U gamepad into a hologram. That’s just my idea.
Well, technically they never left thier roots. They never stopped making toys and merchandise over the years. When they decided to make Amiibos it was a perfect fit. They already had the infastructure and manufacturing plants in place. It was quick and easy for Nintendo to start rolling out Amiibos.
What Anubis said. They started off as a hanafuda playing card company back in 1889. Making toys didn’t come around til in the 1960s when they were also doing cab services & love hotels. Nintendo’s roots have always been in gaming.
It’s sad that they still ignore the fans. Why the fuck do they have retailer exclusives? They should sell them from their site. Why the fuck can’t they get the numbers right time after time. Why the fuck does Dark. Pit sell out in minutes?
Im more sad that these fucking toys are considered fan service. Thanks nintendo for these shitty toys, wheres the real fan servuce? Oh you got none?
SHUT UP ICE!!
:P
>>>Don’t make me make a third video (By the way, I don’t care about Amiibos at all)>>>
Haha they really actually fit the roles but im never on here I probably wouldn’t even see it. You get my point on the amiibo crap dont you though. Its sad that thats support and giving fan service. Nintendo has realy bad demsia or something, they forget more and more each gen, now they dont give us yam6es at all but amiibo garbage.
>>>Ever since they announced Amiibos I was never interested and now the same with that mobile filth, I just want games that define Nintendo like they did all the way up to Metroid Prime 3 Corruption>>>
>>>Though most of us know the Wii U is an utter failure, I still like several games on it but like I’ve said a long time ago, it doesn’t justify the Gamepad since it’s hardly ever used>>>
Its nice to hear such a big in denial fanboy lmao, actually say the wii u is a fucking failure because it is in all fromts. I look at the wii which I hate too but at least nintendo was still true with its games back then and it had way better games too than wii u. Now Nintendo wont even do games right there’s not one game thst made me go wow yet. Its now just party games and recently amiibo games. Uhhhhh. Im not holding my breath on x, I was excited but it seems the game has dumb decisions that held its potential. Fatal frame 5 is a plus I guess atleast we get it and yoshi’s wooly world in not the yoshi’s island original quality greatness I was hoping for. So I dont see the games thing change not to mention we still don’t get much games.
>>>I was never in denial, I just never judged it too fast, but back when it launched I already had some complaints about it, mainly the delays and lack of Gamepad use>>>
>>>True, no Wii U Nintendo made game have had that “Wow factor” so far>>>
>>>The NX better be a success or the empire is done for>>>
Wish I could say I’m happy about this, but I’m not. Scalpers are included in those sales. :/
People can be selfish, greedy assholes man :/
>>>It’s their highest point in their useless lives>>>
As long as they keep the restock incoming, that is all I care about.
I just want a uber rare super Octavian card. Gimme.
Oh whoops! Wrong thread : D. Still holds truth tho.

Wii U has more amiibo then games lol what a joke,so you buy a console not to play games but to buy toys lol,Im glad i got a ps4 too.
Too bad 2.5/4 of the blame falls on Nintendo while 1.5 is 3rd parties BS-one in people’s faces.

It’s a shame that the Amiibo’s sole purpose of existence is to try to boost Wii U sales which backfired so horribly.
It shows how clueless they are,the moment they saw Witcher3 and how awesome it looks and plays,and how well it was received sales wise,they saw and really realised how Bad,kiddie,empty and outdated Zelda U looked and played, and they decided to delay it,hahaha, Nintendo doesn’t make industry changing games no more,the last industry defining games they made were on N64 and Gamecube,When they focused on powerful hardware and brilliant software.
This is why real fans hate wii and wii u. I dont consider cheerleaders who tie their self esteem into a brand real fans. I bet about half the people who read these type of comments on here want to kill lmao, they need a fucking theripist.
It’s funny how you make baseless claims when the Witcher 3 had nothing to do with Zelda.
Amiibo is the beggining of the end.
As I usually say, they are nothing but microtransitions travested by toys. Sadly, fanboys and casuals don’t see that.
Eventhough they’re not because they’re completely optional.
Except they’re beginning to put content already on the disc behind a lock that requires Amiibo to use. Sure, it’s “optional”…..if you don’t want all the content in the game.
Right, I fully agree with you. As you noted, fanboys and casuals really don’t get the whole amiibo point.
You mean… Locking out a Shulk costume in a Yoshi game is that important?
Apparently so. It doesn’t change game at all, but heck, they’ll wine if they want to.
You just proved my point. Thanks.

This is exactly the kind of shit I was talking about. I just knew these dumbass toys was all that nintendo was going to focus on because all nintendo fans would fucking buy these like the games they dont. What we get? No games and amiibo games left seriously fuck that. This is why I never would support these stupid toys even if I wanted them because it was obvious what nintendo would do. So Im glad to say im not a reasom for these shitty scamiibo games. The fanboys are lmao. The nx better not be such a piece of garbage, but hopefully we can trade half the fanbase away with some knew fans because even if nx was amazing the nintendo fans would just by toys instesd and stickers.
You take this way too personally if you’re getting this upset over figurines.
>>>There is already a plan to get rid off the riff raff before the NX arrives>>>
Crap… I just realized he’s right. Even if we do get a perfect Nintendo system with all the latest third party games, Nintendo fans would stick to buying mainly only Nintendo games and products. That worries me!
>>>Well then the so called “Nintendo fans” that are Sonyans and Xbots these days should return if they get all that they’ve been asking for years>>>
>>>As long as the empire doesn’t make civilian party games, the less of them we’ll have>>>
At this point nintendo fans would rather buy nintendo stickers than nintendos own games.
Stupid casuals…
You have no life other than hating Nintendo for nothing or just your sad fun…
Yeah, and half of them are on eBay.
Amiibos are outselling the Wii U by 4 mil. I mean, it was bound to happen, but still.
Poor Wii U.
Can’t really compare the two when one is a 13 dollar figurine, and the other is a 25o dollar game console.
No, but amiibos still aren’t outselling PS4s. Which almost makes me feel like amiibos aren’t as big as a success as they could be.
Maybe it is because Nintendo supplies so little of them. If they stocked them all generously, there would probably be even more sales. Maybe double!
Lemme get this straight.
In half a year amiibo sold 14.7 million.
In two years PS4 sold 21 million.
“No, but amiibos still aren’t outselling PS4s. Which almost makes me feel like amiibos aren’t as big as a success as they could be.”
what
^This.
Until I get my Ness, we aren’t on speaking terms Nintendo.
I have 2 Ness.
Fuck you too hell and back you heathen :) lol
*to
Imagine how many they would have sold if none of them were store exclusives, and all of them were well restocked the whole time. I’ve never seen some of them in stores even once. Such as Pit, Marth, King Dedede and Gold Mario to name some.
Now this is the number of Wii Us that should have sold in it’s first year if it wasn’t named after the Wii, had a few Nintendo games as launch titles, had much better marketing, & was at least multi-platform friendly. I like amiibo but Nintendo should hire a 3rd party to make them so they can go back to focusing on video games for hardcore players. And here I thought the Wii U was meant to chase after them. Pfft! What a big fat fucking lie Nintendo told us! Miiverse being a safe haven for gamers to be social was another lie from Nintendo because the redesign, though looks great, brought some of the most anti-social rules of all to the damn thing.
