Labo sold around 200k in Japan in two weeks?
I wouldn't say that's bad. Not everything they release has to be on the same scale as something else sales wise. More variety is always good. I usually rather have 10 different games that sell 200k each than one game that sells 2M. (As long as they're profitable enough.)
Considering the rather simplistic software involved with Labo, and the nature of the cardboard and who it's mainly geared towards, I had no particular sales expectations. But 200k in two weeks, I know many games that would love to have numbers like that.

3 weeks, which included Golden Week.

@ Megiddo

Definitely agree. It's not a flop. But, considering it's taken 3 weeks to sell ~50% of its first shipment, it's definitely not doing as well as Nintendo expected. Especially after the big ad push for it. 

Haven't followed the lead up to Labo's release that much, what did they do beyond the YouTube videos?
