So do we consider this a good or bad start for Labo?

It is an alright start, the whole point of Labo will be to see where it lands after decent period of time. If it ends up being super front loaded that will be considered bad.

GOW sold less than Horizon which was a new ip.

Not a good look.

I see a trend here. In the Uk, it sold less than other exclusives as well.

It's true that stores are quite empty lately, and not only games ones. 



Great start for Labo! But Labo and GOW didn't impact much on hardware sales!

But Switch still #1! And great legs for Kirby and Splatoon!

 

And Monster Hunter is slowly dropping out of the charts! 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

God of War actually did better than GoWIII haha

While that maybe true, these aren't bad numbers for western IP in Japan. It did slightly better than GOW 3 which was 45,000.

Now Metal Max those are bad numbers.

Sadly no. Early October is worse.

Ps4 would be selling 25-30k if it wasn't supply constrained. meanwhile switch is selling 35k without supply issue which isn't really good.
