Do toys people buy for the holidays typically require another $300 purchase to actually use the toy? Seems more like a video game to me. |
I think this is something people are ignoring when they talk about Labo as a toy. Firstly, I don't really recall any toy that sold poorly, or just ok, and then became a massive hit about 8 months later, just because it was the holidays. Usually those things are massive hits within a few days/weeks, and it just makes the holiday season an even crazier buying frenzy. And 2nd, it really doesn't help that you can't just use Labo by itself. You have to have a $300 Switch. Which is why it is mostly selling to those who already had it, instead of spurring Switch sales, like Nintendo wanted it to do. Sure, we may get a $300 bundle during the holiday season, but that's still $300 to play with a cardboard toy w/ a few minigames.
