I think you people are ignoring R&D costs. Who knows how much Nintendo spent on getting Labo working and out onto the market. Either way, it is definitely not a success in Nintendo's eyes. Given their 20M prediction, they were obviously looking for it to push HW sales early/mid 2018. That didn't happen. And it probably won't ship much more than 2M-3M in its lifetime, so poor results all around.

My guess is little to nothing spent on R&D.
This isnt a AAA game, and I doubt it cost anywhere near that, even a AA game would come more to develope than each of these kits.

This a "A" level devepement cost, at most, and sold at like 80$ for a kit.
And the cardboard obviously doesnt cost that much either, in short nintendo makes huge profits on them.
