Indeed, this is a huge turn off. They need to get a more charming price tag for the holidays.

Great. Let it burn.

If it's "just a toy for kids" then lets not bring it up on a gaming forum. No one brings up Barbie sales numbers or even how well lego sets are doing, right?

Right

This.

Not really. sometimes original concepts can be surprising huge hits, nobody could have really known frost night, kinect, minecraft, and wii fit were gonna be massive hits, some people thought labo could pull off of the same thing, but its always  hit or miss.

No. There even was a thread where people were predicting it would outsell God of War. Also i've seen it listed many time as one of the system sellers when predicting Switch sales in 2018. Of course some are acting as if that never happened.

A little unfair on Labo since it's only had a week in sales. It still isn't the greatest start but, like a few have stated, it will probably pick up again for the holiday.

It won't really pick up for the holiday if it's kind of a failure until then.

Kids want what is popular at the moment. If nobody cares about Labo in a few months, I don't see why a kid would wake up one day and say "Hey, now I want a Nintendo Labo!". The go-to gift will most likely be some new thing their friends are talking about at school or something like that. 

Yeah I also don't get the "wait till holiday attitude". Kids have a short attention span, how is Labo going to be the "in thing" in 7 months time, if the vast majority of it's sales are going to come from holiday sales to children, that's when it should have launched.

In the meantime Labo is going to be absolutely forgotten.

It's good for all gamers if things like LABO don't sell well. Otherwise they will just have a bad influence on the gaming industry. One of the main reasons why Microsoft "failed" so badly during this generation (and during the last years of XBOX360) was because they focused too much on KINECT and other features (TV, sports,...) when they were trying to capture the casual consumers. So WII's casual succes had a bad influence on the industry.

We should stop wishing that these casual gimmicks would sell well, just because they are manufactured by our prefered company. And saying things like "They will not affect the focus of a company/development of traditional games" is not true, like we can see from the past events.

The less gimmicks/mobile games the better.

Now? It was stupid from the start. I would say it was an insult that GOW gets compared to a cardboard lol

People actually thought labo would outsell GoW? 😹
