And yet people believe that Labo's sales are already more than enough, and that Nintendo is already very happy because it cost nothing to them so they already made a lot of money. Right.

How do those things exclude each other?

Nintendo put a massive marketing for Labo. And even weeks after release, they keep doing it. It's obvious that for them Labo isn't a niche product that doesn't need to sell well because the investment was low, like some people here like to believe. Otherwise they wouldn't, you know, spend so much money trying to sell the thing.

 

Nintendo invested quite a lot in that, they want and need it to succeed. It didn't succeed so far, even with the big marketing, so they're trying other big ways of market it to try to push some sales. Marketing push is usually done for launch and holidays, because that's when you have tons of games to sell. Not a month after launch...

 

Seriously, weeks after launch they pay Ariana Grande to help sell the product, and you think that it means the product was a huge success so far?
