why would I spend more than 5 dollars on cardboard

This means nothing because Labo isn't going to be a hugely pre-ordered game. I wouldn't have any expectation whatsoever. You can however expect endless legs. You think Brain Training, Nintendogs and WiiFit had big pre-oder numbers and were front loaded? It's the casuals that buy them, like Labo, and they don't pre-order. I couldn't guess how Labo will sell, and I said before, it could be a huge flop, but I also just as easily see it being absolutely huge.

I'm not interested in either but God forbid a toy-maker actually making toys.

I hate the fact we discussing cardboard on a gaming forum... This can't die soon enough

Labo isn't aiming for the core gamer, I'd be surprised if it was doing particularly well at GameStop. Coming out the same day as GoW isn't doing it any favors either as far as core gamers go.

Well, the thing is aimed at parents and kids, and they're not the kind of demographic that would pre-order.

Its cardboard bundled together with simple mini games. I'm not sure it qualifies as either a toy or a video game...

How so? Plastic figurines qualify as does lego which labo draws comparisons to so how does it not qualify?

I don't know. I guess you can call anything a toy if you want. Its like with art.

When ends embargo for Nintendo Labo reviews?
