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. 

Labo isn't a conventional game series. It's a line of construction toys. Much like Lego or K'nex. The huge sales numbers will come from the multiple kits that get released overtime as well as Holiday pushes. That's really what people are underestimating here.
