Previews were fairly positive for LABO as well, I expect similar sales at the end of the day. Not a failure, modestly profitable, but it will show, as if it's not already clear, that the mythical "Wii Fit crowd" doesn't really exist any more.

Labo was more geared for kids, this here is 100% geared to adults. LABO was hard to understand for the general public, but I doubt this here really will. I mean, what part of fitness is hard to understand this time around?

While I don't expect Wii Fit sales numbers, I do think it will do quite a bit better than Labo did. 3M+ LT is my absolute minimum prediction, but I expect quite a bit more, more like 8-10M.

Speaking of Labo, the Varieté kit is down to $40 on Amazon right now...

8-10 million seems highly unlikely to me. 

The product itself just doesn't seem all that trendy and marketable. Something like Wii Fit was elegantly simple and had very effective branding, it was almost iphone-esque in how is sold itself as a must-have lifestyle accessory.

This on the other hand just doesn't feel like it has that X factor. From the name to the look, the branding just doesn't seem catchy or desirable.

I could see it hitting 3 million at a stretch, but that'd be the upper rather than lower bounds in my estimation.
