Is it me, or did a baseball game push PS4 sales more than GoW?

Yes, that baseball franchise has been around for two decades. It has a much bigger fanbase than God of War in Japan.

There's a difference between kids and young families.

Both are aimed at kids, but Yokai Watch is something the kids would buy themselves, while Labo something the parents would buy for their kids.

In terms of being a hardware seller attracting new audiences to the system, I'd say it's a flop. Made no impact on hardware the week it launched, whereas even Kirby caused a slight bump. Now you could say it kept Switch sales from being lower, but Labo had a harsh drop this week despite hardware being up, so that can't be the case. It could still do well for itself sure, but I doubt it. 

Nice hold on GoW, was expecting less than 10k

I always expected it to have a slow start and then burst on the holidays. I think that's going to be the case for hardware as well, but we'll have to wait and see.

Big drop on Labo but with the great first week its sales still look good. The Robot version is a flop, but that was always far less interesting. But the variety pack or whatever is looking good for such a niche product. Should sell over 500k in Japan by itself, which if it does I'd call that a big success.

Then 95% of games are flops by that criteria. In terms of numbers, the Variety pack did okay. Not great. Just okay. The Robot pack we can probably call as a flop, since it sold so much less and dropped so much more so quickly.

PS4 had shortages so now gain boost in sales with more available units.

More available units have PS4 boost after shortages, not baseball game.

Thats just number with more units on market after shortages and something like (boost in sales) that is always expected but we will see what PS4 baseline will be in folowing weeks after Golden Week.
