1. Anyone who puts an opinion on  a public forum should expect such opinions to be challenged. That is precisely what makes forums tick. You cannot put up an opinion and expect everyone to concur with no dissent. You should be fine as long as such dissent is logically reasoned and respectably communicated. It is very okay to agree to disagree.

2. It is your point that makes no sense actually. Labo is a game/collection of games that can be integrated with cardboard and other physical components (some of which are supplied).

3. Depends what you term relevant parties and the term 'some' is still very accurate because you have no data to say All Retailers or Nintendo had higher projections in all circumstances. Like I said, there have been other explanations. It is left to you to accept them as relevant or not. Personally, I do.

4. Assumption in the sense of your post that I was responding to which suggested something I can present as a simple equation as follows:

April was a generally low month=Labo sales was low despite being one of the highest sellees in the month. 

That is an assumption.

As to whether Labo bumped up sale noticeably, even though you are only just pointing that out and it wasnt originally what I was responding to, I would agree woth you that certainly it didnt do so immediately but I would also  point out to you that we had only 2 or 3 days sales data to go in the month of April for Labo and the general consensus is that Labo is a new concept that will take time to gain traction with sales expected to be more towards the holiday periods.

If you read back from where our discussion started, I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that you were the first to use the term failure and that I only used the term flop as a synonym to failure to answer a question you posed.

As to whether Labo took off worldwide, while we await data from Europe, I would say it has taken off reasonably well in the US and Japan with the information we have so far.

1 - Except you were more challenging he giving his opinion than what he was saying.

2 - The physical components are cardboard, the games are minigames, so please show the cost of it.

3 - Of course you do accept explanations that say it done great and that it wasn't common for retailers to have over projected.

4 - I wasn't talking about April being a general low month, you are the one assuming and pushing that to others. There wasn't much big sellers this April so it is natural for Labo to appear. Are you sure Labo only had 3 days? Not that it matters much since a very big size of the impact happens on the first weekend of release.

1. If I did what you say, I expect he would have said so himself. I think you are on some misguided advocacy on that particular point.

2. I will after you show me the cost of GOW.

3. I accept all explanations as feasible provided they are not outworldly, until confirmed details from verifiable sources are revealed. 

4. As far as I'm concerned, those 2 statements in bold are saying the same thing using different words. What exactly makes a general low month in sales in your opinion ?
