Some people had unrealistic expectations. In a video game forum! Stop the press, this is breaking news! At the same time you ignore the majority in the thread, which thought a million worldwide should be considered a success. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755060 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755072 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755084 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755134 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755177 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755191 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755196 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755236 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755440 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8755468 Also, as I said back in the thread, a bunch of Youtube-videos hardly are a 'marketing blitz' or whatever ridiculous notions were thrown around. |
Nearly all those posts are stating that 1 million is not a flop. I agree. I have not once called Labo a flop. Do I need to put it in caps and bold? LABO IS NOT A FLOP. There. See? So now beyond the simple threshold of "not being a flop" you have a wide range of subpar/mediocre/middling sales numbers. Then you have "good" then "great", "awesome", etc.
You see. Nintendo fans seem to think it's like this.
-------------------------------X---------------------------------- where everything before X is a flop and after X is "good" or better.
In reality it's like this.
------------X----------------------Y-----------------Z---------- where everything before X is a flop, between X&Y is mediocre/middling/average, between Y&Z is good/great, and Z or after is ""
I'm currently arguing that Labo's current performance in Japan is somewhere between X and Y.
And yes, by my 2018 estimates I figured Labo would under-perform. It would sell to enthusiasts and wouldn't broaden the base.
