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?

3 30 second TV advertisments all over Japan. Also had big displays in pretty much every big electronics/game store.

(For comparison's sake, Kirby Star Allies had 2 30 second TV advertisements)

In answer to your question, no. I think 100k units for basically the only thing Nintendo had in April and had been advertising a ton would be awful.

@Kerotan Both PS4 slim and PS4 pro are readily available. The shortage is over (for now).
