Nintendo’s financial report yesterday had a lot of interesting information in it about how the company has performed with its products over the Q3 period. Perhaps the biggest un-surprise is that amiibo are selling well across all regions, with more than 20.5 million amiibo sold since their launch. That’s a pretty hefty figure, but it doesn’t really highlight how the different regions buy these products.
In the breakdown released by Nintendo, they showcased the most popular amiibo by region. So let’s take a look.
