I do not know much about Labo but I have seen the bolded multiple times so I have to ask. Why does Labo get a wait until basically next year before we can judge the sales of it? I mean an entire 8 months before the sales can be judged? Is it something else that is going to happen with it or something? Again I do not not much about it at all.....heck I don't even know what kind of game it is outside of that it is on the Switch to be honest lol. But I was just curious as to why it gets pretty much 8 months before anyone can judge the sales of it for real that is all.
I was sure that this data had been pretty much verified. Where did you get the info that it was incorrect from? I mean I see your calculations but that is also a guess as well. Also your posting style seems super familiar.....are you an ALT?

I came to the same conclusion. It was reported that UNIT sales were the highest since 2009 and sales in DOLLARS terms was the highest since 2008 so I don't know how it can be below 326k when we have all the data to come to that conclusion.

I thought the same thing and was like maybe I missed something lol.

What Laincito is saying is not true. If the PS4 sold less than 326k units, then the PS4 would not have outperformed the Wii's April 2009 unit sales performance.

Okay I knew that I couldn't be that crazy lol.

Because Labo is not standard game release it's far more toy than any other game on market, its aimed to kids/parents and offcourse kids/parents getting/buying most presents during holiday season, also Labo is kind of product that can gain popularity with time and word of month.

Okay I can understand that and can see it. But still for a toy(even if it is a game) to not be popular around release. And all of a sudden get big months later....it usually doesn't happen. That usually happens with things that are in high demand and then go on sale around the Holidays. Not saying it is impossible but it is just not the norm I guess. Now I am not one of those people that have called Labo sales bad at all and have not followed it close enough to know it sold good or bad. But I was just curious as to why it was getting such a huge pass and window for it to sale as compared to other games that was all.
