Although the number is a bit small, it was roughly correct. I think it is a side effect of Golden week.

Famitsu

Switch　PS4

35,498　24,330

54,534　37,356　LW

 

Media Create

31,720　17,688　TW

Famitsu numbers dont look as depressing as the Media Create ones for the PS4.
Why does Famitsu have like 6,7k higher PS4 numbers than Media Create?

Wouldn't be bad if Labo can maintain 10k/week but as said before I think it's gonna keep dropping. Time will tell!

I think 10k is too high a baseline for Labo, but I could see it chugging along with 4k-7k a week

It's starting to see some heavy discounting, so not sure how large the additional shipments will be. As long as it has good word of mouth, steady sales should be good enough.

The boxes take a lot more inventory space than a normal game in it's small case, so I was expecting that a bit. Especially after the retailers seemingly expected a bit too much right out of the gate and ordered too many copies.

Hopefully it will sell a lot in the next couple of weeks

I think if Nintendo continues to support by releasing more packs + ways they can interact together, then it'll give it solid boosts.

In my opinion I think it needs to get Viral. And that could be from any source in the world. We are seeing with Ariana Grande that singers can perform their song with using Labo. 

 

Or it could be just allowing the Switch userbase to increase more from games like Pokemon, Smash, Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter.

They should make a Labo Minecraft edition.

They should provide replayability by having a Tamagatchi system with the Labo house creature and a rhythm/practice game with the piano. Boggles my mind how they didn't think to give the Labo games themselves hardly any replayability.
