[NSW] Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit <EDU> (Nintendo) {2019.04.12} (¥7.980)

Nintendo did many changes for 4th Kit comparing to what was initially expected from Camera/Gun Kit. 2 SKUs, one with low price, VR lite and rumored compatibility with some of Switch big franchises. There will be a video reveal soon so that pre-orders open but it looks an ambitious entry which if it doesn't catch neither now at west it will likely be the last one. At least for Japan things could look good for sales since Labo has created an audience.

It's smart to switch things up with LABO. Concept is really good but I guess pricing didn't really appeal to customers.
Surprised that the expansion kits are as cheap as they are, you can get basically everything for the same price as the entire VR kit.

I do wonder about the rumored switch lite and how they'll deal with that, perhaps that's why they're selling the individual $20 kits separately?

I speculated that Nintendo might bundle in some labo with the Switch lite since it does not seem compatible with anything form factor that is not the current switch.
If in the packaging nintendo included the basic labo VR set, they'd have a pretty robust installbase to sell VR/enhanced titles too without increasing the cost of manufacturing.
Wouldn't add value without risking the loss of sales of evergreens like bundling Mario Kart would. If Nintendo is going to enhance titles (perhaps like MK8D), it would actually promote more sales.

Unless more pokemon news shows up in the next month, PS4 will probably beat Switch by a few weeks. Not expecting Yoshi to move too many units.

At the rate the PS4 is selling here right now perhaps the sales go down to zero before reaching 8 mio...

But honestly Yoshi will move a relatively large amount of units. Even in month with no new big releases the Switch manages 50-65k, with a anticipated game like Yoshi it will double that probably for a few weeks.

350K Yoshi yes or no

Woolly World sold ~100k on Wii U and ~150k on 3DS, so I'm gonna say 250-350k is possible here.

Not quite as impressive as Xenoverse 2 (and understandably so) but still impressive nonetheless. Should hit 100k when all is said and done.

Considering the lack of MHW this year I'm surprised that SW aren't down more YoY. The back of the year is insanely strong for switch compared to last year so I think we should see some decent growth.

just looked.
Xeno 2 was 1.53 million as of Sept 2018.

I believe I predicted Octopath would outsell Xeno WW back when they were announced in 1/2017.

....also thought Octopath would do more in Japan, which may have messed up my guess.

I love the Octopath world but I dunno bout this.

lol not for the first time.
Predicted FF15 would be 2017, when it clearly should've been cause it wasn't done.
and that KH3 would be 2018, but they just had to delay it.

Good for Xeno though.
I thought Octopath would do 2m though.

It's not done selling. It still could inch towards it. SE fucked up the shipments in Japan hard though.

2m would seem like a stretch though.
Depends on just how much it's above 1.5m

I don't know know how much it's still selling. Xeno has at least been charting the eshop several times after it's initial run.
Has Octo been on sale yet

Octo and xeno are currently in a race to 2 million, they both will eventually get there tho which is a great win for jrpgs

I don't see how they will both sell more 500K. Nintendo doesn't even promote them anymore and people can buy used copies.
They are exclusives and Switch will sell to a bunch of new customers in the next couple years - it's pretty much a given.

They just need to be part of one big sales or get a price drop down the line. These games haven't reached their full sales potential yet - Octopath is still as expensive as it was on its release week.

Sales are obviously coming mostly from outside of Japan.

RPGs are frontloaded. Digital sales can help get to that yes (I think it's the only way to be honest), but I still don't think it's a lock for games like this.

No doubt in my mind they will release those numbers - I don't think you realize how early the Switch is in its lifecycle and how many cards are still left to play regarding these titles.

Revision/price drop this year and FE/Persona/DQ/Pokemon and co. will result in a big part of the rpg audience moving or expanding to Switch.

I think OT and XB2 would need to be part of one big sales at the end of the year on the eShop to get close to these numbers...but they will be part of sales for the next 4-5 years and assuming Switch Pro/Switch 2 have full BC even longer than that.

500k isn't that much for exclusives quality JRPGs that haven't gotten price drops yet.

I know a bunch of people that want Octopath but just aren't ready to shell out 60 bucks for it.

Xeno would have a better chance than Octo (unless it's higher than 1.5m)


-since it's been on sale several times
Torna push
charting on the eshop (likely from the sales)
Last reported sales were 1.53m on September 30, 2018 prior to Christmas

Octo and XC2 race to 2 million is both funny and sad.

TMS 2 will sell 3 million easy baby. Do it for us Ninty.^_^
Seriously though. FE3H will blow this 2 easily lol.
