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. 

First sales are not poor, 190k is not bad number. Second how exactly failed test!? Labo sold better than it did last week, what did you actually expect!? When people talk about holiday season they meant about holiday season at end of year, not about Golden Week that can't be really compared with scope and strength with holiday season.
