Sony Renews Patent On Tradeable amiibo Type Devices

This old patent from Sony which was originally filed back in 2015 and published in 2016 was renewed on the 26th of March 2019, now there seems to be a bit of confusion over what this patent is, with some websites claiming that it is for trading digital games, which is not the case.

This patent is for a device like an amiibo which you can scan into a game, then if you wish you can trade the digital copy of that "amiibo", here is a description of the patent:
The present disclosure describes tradable physical collectible objects that have a corresponding digital copy that can be used in one or more network games associated with various gaming networks. The digital copy can be customized by the user in a variety of different ways associated with associated network games. The collectability of the tradable physical collectible object and corresponding digital copy as well as implemented customization by the user provides a value associated with the object and/or digital copy. This value can later be used by the user to sell or trade the object and/or digital copy to other users via existing services provided by, for example, the manufacturer of the tradable physical collectible object or network game.
