| Louie said: I doubt it will. There isn't really any business strategy behind Labo, it is just a quirky idea some guys at Nintendo had. If, as a company, you want to enter new markets (in this case the kids' toys market) you need a strategy behind your moves and follow that strategy. In the case of Labo, I guess some people at Nintendo looked at it and said "isn't this like the games we sold on the Wii / DS? This will sell really well!", when in reality Labo isn't like the Wii/DS games at all. Also, Nintendo really wanted Labo to be a success. They banked pretty heavily on it and saw it as a heavy hitter for their line-up. So I hope they learn from it. |
Don't say it, people swear Nintendo made a whole new concept and marketing and the 1.4M initial shipment still not being sold after 6 months is a good sign of meeting Nintendo their expectations.
