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. 

We know they shipped 390k or so of both kits in Japan. 

We know today 4 tracking weeks and post Golden Week, they're at about 201k for both kits. 

That means there's a shit ton (almost 200k worth) of unsold Labo inventory on Japanese store shelves. 

That's not good, especially for a Nintendo release. They are going to have a lot of trouble just selling that initial shipment. It will probably require several months now to sell that remaining half of that initial shipment and quite probably require Japanese retailers to heavily discount it. 

This thing is not displaying legs anywhere close to Brain Training either as you were trying to suggest it would. Not. Even. Close. Brain Training didn't drop under 10k for almost 20 MONTHS, lol.
