I am trying to predict the sales of CARDBOARD! How can anyone predict the sales of this properly? I can't find any real precedent in gaming history. I am predicting blind here. Anyway I am going to lowball it for now.
3 million this year.

It's catering towards younger crowd. But at $70 it's affordable. I think they'll sell 2 million plus.

Sure, why not. I will not be surprised if it blows by that mark, though. Especially looking at how 1-2 Switch did.

Because I'm skeptical of the concept. I see zero appeal of it, but I imagine that's why I don't belong to Nintendo's audience.
But then, Nintendo says it wants to market that to young children, right? That opens some questions. How many little kids own a Switch? How many Switch owners are going to buy it for their kids? How many Switch owners are going to let kids play with their Switch, risking it to be broken? And lastly, why would you play with cardboard if you have tons of better games to play?
That's why I prefer lowballing the number. It could not sell high numbers, although I won't be surprised if it sells anywhere between 3-5 million. Anything more and Nintendo are geniuses for earning oodles of money on cardboard.
Are they taking a loss on shipping since they could be using all the boxes as Labo too??
I think it'll sell 5m+

Okay cool; I bet Nintendo will sell over 1 million Labo kits. (As in, the kits that contain the game + the cardboard, not including replacement cardboard) You bet it won't. Winner chooses the loser's signature for a period of 1 month. Sig must remain within VGChartz's rules.
100 billion copies.
Oh, I'm sorry, there's a few extra zeroes and a typo in the second word.
1 million copies.
Either
400k first week
2 million lifetime
Or
600k first week
9 million lifetime
Several millions. First week and month sales are gonna be very important. I don't think it will have the same legs as other Nintendo IPs. It'll tank as soon as news outlets and ads top talking about it.
