First, I don't see Labo as a bomb, Nintendo sees sales in line with their expectations:

This source would have been good on the threads that discussed Labo being a flop or anything much below expectations.

It still didn't do big numbers, but if it's doing close to projection can't say it's a failure.

Labo hasn't had a holiday season yet and - given that it's a product that is most appropriate for an age group that can't buy its own full-priced games - that's an important factor. One of the reasons that Pachter can't really forecast is that during that Spring & Summer a different kind of gamer (for example, the sort who is all-in on Octopath Traveller) drives all the sales activity; that's no longer true in the Fall.
