They have put a big marketing campaign behind Labo and demoed it at various events but the market didn't react well to it. They treated it like one of the big guns (the only big new title besides Kirby in the first half of the year - they wouldn't do this if they thought it was just a niche thing) but the mass market wants different kinds of games. It's been like that for a decade now, Nintendo didn't understand the success they had with the Wii and DS, which is why we went from the Wiimote to the Gamepad and from the Wii to the Wii U. |
Too early, wait for legs, Mr. Malstrom jr.
I do have a feeling Labo won’t live up to Nintendo’s expectations tho, but Smash and Pokemon (and maybe others) can hold the fort for them even if Labo fails. But again, we need to wait for legs before calling flop prematurely. Not to mention this is only Japan so far.
