Is LABO going to explode this holiday?

Keep in mind, Nintendo only said sales will accelerate during holidays, not necessarily explode (which they were correct as the Variety and Vehicle Kits both saw bumps throughout November and December in Japan). I honestly don't think Nintendo sees Labo as a system seller, probably because it's too big and too complex to be one. But it is a great product for kids who already own a Switch, so Nintendo looks to be focusing on that. It's hard to tell what they expected from Labo since their marketing for it has been very weird and unconventional. We'll perhaps know its fate after the holidays are over.

Yeah. The expectations for LABO simply were up in the sky, as everyone expected Nintendo now to present their next big thing. I'm unsure what exactly Nintendo expected. Puzzled to this day. Maybe their expectations were disappointed, maybe not. I expected some more, but a definite million seller and probably on it's way to two million is easily no dud either.

What great timing too, the Vehicle Kit finally returned to the Top 20 this week according to Media Create. So while it's not doing gangbusters sales, I think Nintendo is happy with the results thus far given the type of product Labo is. Funny thing is, the ResetERA thread talking about this still swears up and down that its a failure and that Nintendo must've expected more, even though we have no idea what they expected. It's just one of those situations where gamers think they know better than the people who actually have sales data and internal projections.
