If you keep up with gaming news, then over the last two years, no doubt you've heard about the infamous Amiibo shortages, where Nintendo has failed to supply the US with enough Amiibo to meet the fan demand. But is it really a supply issue or does Nintendo have other plans? How are Europe and Japan able to have enough Amiibo but not the US? And Nintendo has historically had a pattern of creating shortages in the United States. Today, I'm looking at the economics of the Amiibo shortages to see what's really going on here.

@paladyntt7232 8 лет назад

I don't think this theory is accurate, i mean think about it. MatPat says that Nintendo makes prices of Amiibos lower then they can afford, but that's not the truth! Producing a single Amiiboo in factory in China probably costs less than a dollar, shipping also can't get more expensive than 1-2 dollars per a single figure because of the big amount of figures sent into different countries. So Nintendo already makes about ten bucks out of every single figure. And they are deffinetly not worth more than that, especially not 60$! You can pre-order some hyped (dark souls 3 for example) games for that price, and here you get a one character for a single game on Nintendo Wii!

@tiagomariano1418 8 лет назад

+paladynTT Paladyn you are forgetting two things, the amiibo is not just a toy but also a program, it has its own data and works like a save file, where everytime you level up one in smash it records everything, it also has the data of a character and every game knows what amiibo you are putting, like splatoon knows when you are putting a mario amiibo and therefore denying it because it has nothing to unlock in the game, on the other hand an inkling actually has the correspondent data for the game and the game recognizes it

@TheSteamLord 4 года назад

It’s 2019 now, and I’ve been able to snag a lot of “rare” amiibos lately. I even got my hands on a marth for retail price as of the day I’m writing this. How times have changed

@brandonstarstorm3289 4 года назад

I can find a lot of the rare ones in lesser known stores for around $20 while GameStop supplies newly made amiibo like Pichu and Ken for $15

@brandonstarstorm3289 4 года назад

Ironwolf 1 I was lucky enough to find Ike back when he was released. I also found a store near me with Mint condition Lucina, Roy, and I think even Marth.

There is actually a sales tactic called "high price policy", where you artificially heighten the the price of a product, usually luxury goods, in order to appeal to a customers elitism or the age old "its expensive so it has to be good" fallacy. Economics man.

@SamanthaElding 3 года назад

I feel, it now being 2021, and many of the Amiibos I doggedly watched for actual retail release are now being retired before arriving anywhere within my reach. This is not isolated, but I'd love to hear an adjusted theory since they made amiibo less accessible Stateside, rather than more, regardless of your cashwads. In this case, it feels more like a breadline, and much of the States are hundreds if not thousands of hungry, amiibo-craving mouths late.

This is the game that is understood the least. Sure, good for Theories, but it still just annoys me. It's annoying to not know the most basic Basics about the world they all live in. We dont ever know what anything EVER means AT ALL.

@TimeturnerJ 6 лет назад

Funny, that. I remember amiibos being much more expensive here in Europe. I think I payed almost 40€ for my Robin amiibo at my local GameStop? And kindly remember that Euro is worth more than Dollar, so the number would be even higher translated into your currency. That probably explains why Europe didn't have a shortage. But it's just plain weird that Nintendo would apply a completely different marketing strategy over here...

@thatonewriter8043 8 лет назад

+Dr.Science Game Theory is an economic principle explaining why collusion doesn't work. If two competing companies in a theoretical two-company market agree to raise their prices, they will both make more money. However, if one lowers its prices, then it will steal market share and make more money than if it goes with the agreement, so it is incentivized to cheat. If both lower their prices, they will both lose. MattPat named the channel that because it's nerdy and it's a pun, exactly his style.

@CritRogue 8 лет назад

Nintendo is so ridiculous with how many amiibos they make. Good gosh they have every character from every one of their games even if they only have appeared for 2 seconds. For example, Pixel Mario? Gold Mario? Metal Mario? PINK GOLD PEACH? 4 different Yoshi's Wooly World Amiibos? I mean they are grabbing every cent of cash that they can get!

@seemo5789 7 лет назад

Don't forget all the new Link amiibo for Zelda's anniversary.

@oreothek9188 7 лет назад

@haruhisuzumiya6650 7 лет назад

they marketed amiibo to sell problem is that products like the Wii should not have sold that much. Nintendo has a figure by YOU have to show demand to Nintendo... this is why pre-ordering is effective. as first shipments are always to satisfy the early adopters.

@christopheramoros1921 7 лет назад

and yet there is never enough...

@seemo5789 7 лет назад

Yeah, but everyone has different preferences. Some people might like Metal Mario better than Classic Mario, Gold Mario, or Smash Mario. And the Pixel Mario comes in Modern and Original color sets, because, again, some people might like the original Mario better than the modern Mario.

@Roland3ld 3 года назад

There is something I noticed when buying and selling items in Path of Exile via trade sites using in-game currency. If items were even lightly lower in prices they sold significantly faster than items at or slightly above average pricing. Essentially, price was inversely related to time spent in market before being sold.
