Except the Variety Kit still outsold Kirby this week. And I don't think Labo's going to drop off the charts. I expect it to hang in or very near the top 5 all through the holidays, which it's been doing since launch. Point is, if it's selling this consistently, and is continuing to chart high, then there is some legs to the product. The fact that it saw a bump during GW means people do see this as more of a Toy than a game, which means the bulk of its success will come from holidays, with a few birthday and general purchases sprinkled in. Besides, Labo as a whole still pulled over 10k when you factor in the Robot Kit, which adds to the fact that the combined sales for multiple kits will keep Labo afloat. 

LOL, hang around the top 5 through the holidays, that is truly delusional. 

Kirby released a full month before Labo and Labo's legs are already collapsing to Kirby level and will be soon below it. Book it. 

Kirby has sold 492k or thereabouts already, Labo (both kits) I doubt will ever get there LTD in Japan. 

I don't see Nintendo supporting this indefinitely either, they generally bail out pretty quick on things that don't have good sales for them in a reasonable period of time. 

Japanese retailers are gonna have to put this thing in the bomba bin to sell through that first shipment of 380k or so. 

We still don't know Nintendo's expectations for Labo. It could very well be doing fine as far as they're concerned. And once again, you keep making vague speculations about Labo failing, but this isn't a conventional game release. It's a Toy, with multiple play-sets. Labo is still charting quite high, and while yes, it did have a massive drop this week, so did most everything else due to post GW mortem.
