Isn't Arms already above 2 Millions?
Edit: Ah, almost. I've switched the numbers of 1,2 Switch and Arms in my head. I'm tired.

Isn't Arms already above 2 Millions?

Xenoblade no way lol.
what did arms do last time? 1.61 to 1.85 right
Yeah, I think it can barely get over.
"what's a fortnite"
edit: lmao, their actual answer isn't that far off, "we don't talk about other companies"
No, they said what everyone was thinking. Labo's a toy with a different sales pattern than traditional games. Thus, Nintendo is setting expectations accordingly.
And those numbers are from retailers, who had different expectations for the product than Nintendo.
Some of these games would be weird... OoT and MM and DK64 have massively upgraded versions made and the original versions run at like 15 FPS. Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64 have had wildly superior sequels.
And those are like 5 of the biggest games on that list.
And no Goldeneye would get called out by every casual player interested in an N64 Classic.
But it does not sell bad either. If Labo sales don't see aa spik on Christmas is will be under the expectations of most of era and Nintendo. But Labo will most probably sell real well in nov and dec.
Except from the media rollout and advertisement, Nintendo did not have expectations for it to have frontloaded sales. Nintendo France themselves said they expect they'd make the bulk of sales during Christmas which Reggie reiterated. Toys have a slow sustained sale trajectory until the holidays
ARMS maybe. Xenoblade 2? Lol not even close my friend. It'll be lucky to hit 1.5mil
You were saying either 1.61 or 1.85, I just clarified which one was accurate.
Well almost every SNES game worth playing is on Wii VC, but that didn't stop the SNES Classic from selling out. The audience for mini consoles probably doesn't really care that the best version of Ocarina of Time is on the 3DS. It's more about the novelty and ease of access.
The audience for a N64 mini probbaly doesn't really care about high quality games either.
no from quarter to quarter it went from 1.61m to 1.85 so it was (+.24m)
so from quarter to quarter now it needs at least (+.15m)
And this is different from the NES and SNES classic how? These are nostalgia machines looking for a larger audience than current gamers. No one is going to skip out on the N64 Mini because it has Smash 64 and Melee has been out for 15+ years.
Well that's kind of the point. Toys have slow sales when they launch outside holidays. Nintendo said this just now.
I think you're right. It will sell gangbusters regardless. 15fps or not. I think I'd prefer having the games in their original glory anyways, even though I've played the remakes. It's called 'classic' for a reason.
You're not telling us some inside information that many of us expected anyways lol. It's a toy. Many said it would sell well during the holidays.
OoT, DK64, and MM run horribly at this point.
DK64 runs at like 12 FPS.
Not sure how it will go if Nintendo releases an N64 Classic with much worse versions of OoT, MM, and DK64 than versions on other platforms (3DS and WiiU at this point) if these worse versions run in slow motion.
The whole "Labo is a toy" thing doesn't really work I think either ... it's a $70 toy ... OK ... that requires a $300 game console.
It's a video game accessory, and a fairly expensive one, whether Nintendo wants to admit it.
A $10 Star Wars or Ninja Turtles action figure is a toy, a $30 Tickle Me Elmo is a toy, Labo is a $70 video game that doesn't work without a game system.

Guess you never bought Legos?
Edit: Like suggested below. Something like Labo might see its biggest sales during holiday seasons. It's mainly aimed at kids. It's up to parents to buy it and they're far more likely to do that on mass during holidays and birthdays.
Huge marketing push during holiday and a good bundle price can do wonders though.
You're preaching to the choir, mate. I have no interest in buying a mini console. I'm just saying that its intended audience likely cares as much about how these games look and perform now as they did in the 90s, not much at all.
This argument is weak. Price has very little to do if something is classified as a toy or not.
It's pretty clearly a toy. The fact that a cheaper toy exists doesn't suddenly mean that Labo isn't a toy. That's a silly notion.
Osmo, a successful STEM toy ranging from £99 to £189 requires £300+ iPad,
Would you say sales have completely fallen off a cliff from launch month or is there some sign of life?
And thanks for the tidbit.
We can see it in Japan too. They shipped like 250-260k of the Variety Kit ... that's likely going to require another 3-4 months just sell the initial shipment.
There's slow burn and then there's a complete snail's pace.
Lol why pretend you know their sales better than they do? They've iterated many times that it is performing decently.
