Guitar Hero might be the closest "toy" to compare it to, it was a $70 toy guitar that required a console to play and had slow initial sales but strong word of mouth caused it to have great legs and become a huge hit. |
Guitar Hero launched in Nov of 2005, when the PS2 was $149. That's $220 for the whole package. Unless, of course, you already had the popular PS2 (it had shipped 100M+ by the end of Nov 2005.) And no, it didn't take long for Guitar Hero become a hit, as it was the surprise hit of that holiday season. So MAX, a few weeks.
What you're talking about for Labo is a product that you need to pay $370 for the whole thing. Maybe you'll be able to get it for $320-$350 this Black Friday. We're also talking about the product going 8 months with poor to middling sales, then all of a sudden blowing up. Again, products don't usually work that way. Not saying its impossible, just not very likely.
