I think it should have launched a bit closer with the reveal video and the Toy-Con event they did. It had great momentum at that point but then you have 2 months with nothing on it and people move on.

Did anyone really have high expectations about Labo sales ?

I believe that not even Nintendo has high expectations. If they sell about 1 million kits they will probably be happy.

I don't know tgat Gamestop preorders are really the place for Labo sales, edpecially vs a long time hardcore game franchise like GOW! But, I kind of expect Labo to be a modest product anyway, I think there was a thread where I predicted 5or maybe 8 mil.

It would stop Nintendo from focusing on Labo and maybe make something I want.

Yet it has pretty high pre order numbers (actual numbers) elsewhere. But let us not stray from this threads purpose.

I agree with this. It will either be huge or flop. We'll find out soon enough. 

I believe people will be more interested in Labo when its buyers start to share its creations and customizations on social media, sort of what happened to Amiibos during a certain period. It´s a niche product. No real competition here with any other product or game

Probably only in Japan will do 100k+ in first week.

That's the beauty of games, movies, TV shows, and other media. If Labo is not for you, then that's fine. It may be appealing to someone else and there's no need to disregard them. Labo is not for everyone, just like every other game of existence.

We will wait and see how this will work or not. I bet kid and parent will buy this shit like crazy. As long Nintendo support it, it might be a decent sales for them in the future. Their primary target are very clear and it's children.
