It would be cool if it does well. It can show that video games are more than just pressing buttons, 4K realistic graphics, VR, and whatnot. Seeing stuff like this isn't a bad thing for the industry. Even though the Wii was considered a fad at the time, it was cool hearing about senior citizens utilizing the Wii Remote to play bowling or something, or even moms utilize the Wii Balance board for Wii Fit. Heck, the DS was innovative in its own right with the touch screen capabilities (even though phones used touch screen before), which is what mobile phones use to a greater extent nowadays.

That just blows my mind, really.

VR as the most immersive way to enter a videogame world = gimmick

Cardboard folding = interesting

That's a valid opinion for anyone to have outside a videogame forum. Inside one is bizarre to say the least.

Not criticizing your opinion though, just finding it really weird.

Here's what you're forgetting. Nintendo doesn't need a lot of sales to justify labo. It's a junk game that costs the company almost nothing to make. This isn't Bloodborne here that needs 5 million sales just to break even. I'd bet 3 million or so parents buy labo just to see if their kids would be interested. Even half a million sales would probably be a profit for this piece of shit.  I'd call it a potential goldmine rather than a flop.  

I was one of those kids who played with LEGO and made paper planes and stuff, the act of physically building things was a big part of the fun. On the other hand, I find strapping a headset to my face more intrusive than immersive. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

1-2 Switch has sold around 2m despite what people were saying about it so I'm pretty sure Labo will be fine regardless of some people wanting it to fail just because it's not aimed at them.

I have a follow up question if you don't mind.

Have you actually tried VR? If yes, which one? If yes again, which VR games or experiences have you tried and what were your complains regarding those?

Honestly curious.

I'd argue it's more AR than VR.

I believe that if it sells 01 million combined, Nintendo will be satisfied. They don´t seem to be pushing Labo really hard like they did with games like Mario Odyssey of ARMS

No offense but anyone who thinks this thing will flop doesn't have kids and are generally out of touch with what parents will buy for their kids.

Even if the sales of it aren't through the roof just out of the gate, just wait for the holidays.

They might be doing a soft launch and see how it works in the market. If Labo then performs well or even better, they can ramp it for the holiday season.
