how come MS or Sony don't come up with their toys-to-life or similar competition against the amiibos?
>>
>>387373230
I dunno but thank god. It would fucking suck to have to buy some shitty toy to unlock dlc.
>>
because they arent companies that make games and consoles for manchildren
>>
Toys-To-Life is quickly dying out. Amiibo is safe these days because they're being marketed more as collectable figures than the next big game gimmick, and they've got good properties to go with. Microsoft and Sony know that they can't compete with that.
>>
>>387373230
bc that's gay as shit

this
>>
Sony filed a patent for an amiibo-type thing recently.
>>
Because they don't have marketable franchises that could actually sell figures. What are you going to do buy an amiibo of WW2 shooter man and a car?
>>
What surprised me is that lol or some other game with a big roster of characters didn't try it. I would buy the shit out of a Singed figure

Why the fuck would they need to compete with amiibos?
>>

Because they have absolutely almost no marketable character

Same reason that Sony Smash crashed and burned ( there were a myriad other problem too)

Sony has nothing that people would buy. MS tried with Halo. There was Halo Lego and Halo action figures and shit. Probably failed.

It's unlikely to be worth it. Disney Infinity and Skylanders lost pretty hard to Amiibos. I think part of the key is making the toys compatible across multiple titles but still, trying to jump in now might not be financially wise.

It's dying. I run an electronics dept at a walmart, and we hardly sell Skylanders/Lego Dimensions/Amiibos anymore. I love it because I no longer have the autistic coming in and demanding specific figures, the get upset when I don't have them.
>>
>>387373230
A better question is, why does MS insist on continuing xbox when they have access to the majority of PCs.
They could beat the shit out of GPD WINs and have good games on phones and tablets, yet they continue with "Most powerful console ever with no games and limited features."
>>
>>387373230
because making toys is expensive and Sony and Microsoft don't have a supply chain to produce and send out toys for a toys to life thing. They are hardware/software comapnies after all, so making toys is a big investments.

Fuck off Ryu
>>
>>387373230
because they have fuck all characters to make figure of
>>
because they know their audience isn't full of man-children stupid enough to buy them

but really, they have no characters that can be marketed as toy figurines

Or maybe Nintendo has enough IP for an amiibo, whereas sony and microsoft would fail miserably at attempt at it.

Also, all consoles were planned for it, whereas PS4 or XBONE have no nfc functuality.

stop the console hate, thats the manchildren, stick to facts.

>>387374375
Paheal has some. Not much, but it's there.

>>387374561
Also, amiibo's are collectable figures, that children go mad for. Nintendo has the ability to create toys whereas Sony or Xbox would stumble with huge cost.

/v/ has the most retarded mindset. /v/ isn't representative of gaming you know, its a bunch of adults and teens talking on a retarded site. PS4 and XBONE have TONS of kids buying them, all my cousins, about 20 under 14 years olds, have XBONES. An entire typical class of boys at my high school have ps4's.

Nintendo has so much franchise strength to have their own theme park.
They can sell toys of their characters easily and just about anything else with Pokemon, Zelda, Mario on it. I don't think Sony and especially Microsoft can. Halo is really about it for Microsoft, and that's starting to slow down these days.

>>387375914
You really think any of those would sell anywhere as well as Amiibos? Nintendo's characters are some of the most iconic in video games. Aloy can't compete with the likes of Samus Aran, just as an example, and Samus is among the least popular Nintendo franchises sales-wise.
>>

Oh yeah, I bet their movies are doing great

Aloy just replaced Drake as the face of Playstation. She even got promotion with Geralt.

She's more relevant than Samus right now, Samus was never popular with people.
>>
>>387376561
I mean Lego fans (especially the adults) are pretty fucking autistic, the problems is they don't care about vidya because it takes away from their precious block budget.
>>
Sony and Microsoft are tech companies that also make videogames and see videogames as that. Nintendo on the other hand sees itself as a toy company which is why they are much more focused on a younger audience and hence why they make toys for them.
>>
>>387376490
>>Skylanders failed
saturated the market and now the main audience is feeling burnout
>>Disney Infinity failed
It was doing alright but Disney is too jewish to conform with alright
>>Lego Dimensions failed
No idea how are they doing

Look up Mike Matei Inspector Gadget on youtube

>>387376858
Infinity is the one that really confused me. It seemed to be doing well enough for itself. My nephew played the shit out of it and he was really disappointed when I told him about the news. He had a billion of those toys, dunno if he still does

For fucking real? Aloy has literally one game
>>
>>387373230
Sony and Microsoft don't really have many IPs that are iconic or child-friendly enough for that, and not as many hardcore fans. Nintendo is almost a religion.
