Just to chip in here - first off I don't have any difficulty in believing that GOW cost significantly more than Labo to develop.
There are however other considerations, such as the shelf space taken by Labo. The retailer may demand a larger profit than they would for a game which takes up a fraction of the space. So we don't know how much of that extra 20 dollars (if we're saying that a reasonable price is the standard game price of 60) is actually going to Nintendo. The distribution will also likely be more expensive.
I mean, the PSVR Aim controller is $65 on it's own, without a game - do you honestly think it's costing Sony any where near that to manufacture...?
EDIT : my point regarding the Aim controller comparison is that it is another 'big box item' that will likely demand a higher profit by the retailer due to the shelf space it takes up.
