What start were people expecting. It's an untried concept as far as I can tell. It's exceeded 120k units in Japan, so it's at least done 200k plus worldwide. I would class that as a solid opening but not spectacular, far from a flop though. I would like to see the legs on this as it's certainly something that would be more of a holiday gift for the kids.

I'll just quote my post from the UK thread.

"I got to say it's funny with all the goalpost moving for Labo. When the first pre-orders were available, people were thinking it would be a big hit because of its ranking on Amazon. Then, when they started to slip, it changed to "Oh well, I never thought it would start big, it'll be big during the holidays." Now, that part may become true, but it's hilarious how many people are acting like that was the consensus from the very start.

No, its been that way from the start for most people who thought it would be a success. Slow start, long legs & and strong holidays.

Very few thought it would have a big start.
