Nintendo predictions 2018 labo sales

Say what you want about Nintendo but they never do what you’d expect. Last month’s announcement of Labo, Nintendo’s foray into the toy/build kit market, was met with equal parts head-scratching and pure childlike wonder. While some questioned the durability of the cardboard-based designs, others simply saw Labo as being a great toy which kids will undoubtedly love. The toy-con sets launch Apr. 20 worldwide and are expected to sell in great numbers. This strange toy/gaming hybrid is a veritable shotgun blast at multiple demographics and markets. Kids love to build things, they also love video games. There’s also the arguably larger market of Nintendo fans, now parents, who will purchase the kits in the hope of igniting a passion for gaming within their little tykes.

As new details continue to be revealed, and the imaginations of Nintendo fans everywhere run wild, there’s a palpable excitement growing as launch day approaches. Additional experiences and support will largely be based on the sales successes of the first two Labo sets so there’s no doubt that Nintendo will put a lot into the marketing and promotion in the coming months.
