Is it, though? Most of the negativity towards it coming from forum-dwelling gaming enthusiasts, and frankly their opinions are kinda irrelevant because they are not the target audience. 

I predict it will do 5 million. I think it will be a revolutionary product that continues to have long legs with the Switch. It's also important to define in this prediction thread what Labo is. Is Labo a family of software releases? Is it the Variety Pack and the Giant Robot and the already revealed titles each counting as a single sell? If they only manage to impress 1 million gamers they could sell 5-6 difefrent packs to these gamers alone totalling 6 million sales. My prediction is based on that scenario. This doesn't even include the money Nintendo will make on decorator kits.

Of course, it's possible that the Labo software will be available separately and that each of these packs won't include a new piece of software. But at that point, the price of each pack would reduce considerably, fueling the notion that Labo is a very dynamic piece of software that continues to expand its uselfulness with each subsequent pack release.

And to all the haters who just want this to fail because they don't like the concept, make sure you have adjusted your predictions to account for that hate. It clouds judgment. This wil not pull resources away from major game development and only will enhance the mindshare the Switch has.

After seeing quite a few surprise hits the past few years, I no longer count anything out since it's been proven otherwise time and time again. Labo could end up failing, but it could end up being quite a success as well. So I won't be counting this one out.

Apparently the build quality is decent, with multiple folds for extra support.

So it should remain quite rigid.

Don't forget the simple visual programming software.

Yep, most of the negativity is simply because some people think everything needs to cater specifically to them and anything that doesnt should/will fail.

Interesting how the majority think it will do more than 8 million, I personally don't believe it will sell those type of numbers. Though if it does, it will take a year or two to reach that. It's not going to be a blockbuster out of the gate like Wii Sports IMO.

As of writing this, only 14 out of 53 votes are for 8 million plus, hardly a "majority".

My bad worded that wrong (I forget how literal people take things), but >8 million is in the lead with 26% of votes

It's not triple A it doesn't count. Come on, you know the rules!
