Not sure why you think that. There was a major marketing push for Labo. Only selling ~200k units of the ~400k first shipment isn't particularly good. I won't say it's bad either, but it's certainly not good. I'm curious to see how much it sells next week.

I guess it could be worse. But, considering all the points in Labo's favor, this isn't that great. It had a big marketing push. A good 1st shipment, so selling out wouldn't be a problem. Not only are we in its 3rd week, but this was Golden Week, a holiday known for its increase in sales, especially items geared towards kids. Remember, that was the excuse for its poor sales. "It's for kids, they don't buy things at this point. It'll increase greatly during the holidays." Well, Golden Week was the "first" real test for it, but it pretty much failed that test. 

How exactly has it failed that test ? It is the 2nd best selling none debut Game for the 'Golden' week, I don't see how that equates to failing any 'test'. 

If you are talking about its sales numbers in total, for something likely to sell on legs due to word of mouth, it is still well within that trajectory.
