| Miyamotoo said: 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. |
Considering that pretty much all other Nintendo first-party Switch software got boosts over 50% Labo only getting 20-25% isn't a very good sign. If it's something that can be gifted at Xmas then it would have been gifted for Children's Day. Famitsu still shows it at 40-60% sell-through and I'm pretty sure we all know what video games sales are like in the 3-5 weeks after Golden Week. The fact of the matter is that retailers still have around half the inventory of their first shipment of Labo in their warehouses. Retailers are not just going to let it sit there until Xmas. There will be price drops and other attempts to move the inventory. And think, how many retailers are going to be wanting to get another shipment of Labo for the holidays if the initial shipment didn't exactly fly off the shelf? It's not good for Labo.
