You have to take into account what the goal of each product is.

VR is about isolation & immersion.

Labo is about creation & interaction.

 

One is about taking yourself away from your surroundings and entering a new world while the other is about engineering your own devices and seeing what they can do.

 

For someone who loves to build which product is more appealing?

My main point is the following:

 

1 product relates to videogames, a new, more immersive way of playing videogames

The other product is only in the most tangential way related to a videogame (pretty much having the Nintendo logo on it).

 

So how in a videogame forum can we seriously be praising the later one while dismissing the first?

 

I would understand that in a forum regarding lego or other similar types of hobby/toys, but not on a videogame forum that is so hardcore we discuss sales (hw & sw) as well as console wars.

 

Of course anyone is free to enjoy what they enjoy, that should go without saying.

I hope you realize that gamers can have more hobbies than just gaming or like different aspects of gaming.

If Labo combines multiple hobbies/interests of a person  into a single product than its no surprise that they would have a strong interest in it.

 

Also i dont think anybody should be dismissing either one, i think they are both great concepts that will do very well but they are so different from one another that i dont really understand why they are being compared.
