Nintendo seems to release roughly one of these experimental type games per year; last year it was Mario Kart Live, in 2019 it was Ring Fit, in 2018 LABO.
They're fairly low risk as they don't have the budget of a BOTW, Mario Odyssey, or Xenoblade, so it's not a huge loss if they don't take off, but if they do (see Ring Fit) they're a big win.

Ah that's true. I like the yearly experiment. Labo and MK Live were cool ideas and sold very well for the niche products they are, and Ring Fit is obviously a huge success and hopefully Nintendo is smart enough to make more Ring Fit games. Builder Garage looks like another very cool idea. I imagine it too will be fairly niche since there is no system-wide sharing of games which will limit its ability to build network value, but still I could easily see it selling 2-5 million considering its cheap price.

Makes me excited to see what Nintendo comes up with in the next few years if they keep pumping out a yearly experiment.

Yeah I find it hard to peg down a sales number for this one; I definitely don't see it becoming a breakout hit like Ring Fit but given its price and that it seems like a fairly appealing little piece of kit, it should easily clear a million. I mean, even LABO and Mario Kart Live with their much higher pricer tags did that.

Maybe 2-3 million? Will be interesting to see.
