People obsessing over Labo being a "failure" don't realize that toys have different sales traction than games do. They rely more on holiday sales than launch day performance. Not to mention, many of Nintendo's other "expanded audience titles" like Nintendogs and Brain Age also didn't do huge numbers out of the gate, but they had crazy long legs that contributed to their success. Labo will likely be the same, especially once Nintendo gets more kits out in time for the holidays.

 

Labo isn't gonna touch Brain Training or Nintendogs type numbers. If it's lucky it will get to Nintendo Land (non bundled) range in Japan. 

I don't know why people would compare Labo to them in the first place. Brain Training and Nintendogs had a target audience of 8 to 80, whereas Labo is aimed at like 4-12 at best (with the exception of those who are kids at heart/build it with their kid). 1-2-Switch was in the "Brain Training and Nintendogs" demographic and it did great thanks to that huge target audience.
