NPD says Nintendo Labo turnaround this holiday season is 'highly unusual,' but still possible

Nintendo Labo hasn't been the big hit that Nintendo was hoping for. The kits haven't found that unique audience they're looking for, but Nintendo isn't giving up. They're expecting renewed interest in the kits this holiday season, but is that a realistic expectation? Here's what NPD’s Mat Piscatella had to say.

“I had high expectations for Labo at the initial announcement that, so far at least, appear to have been a bit too enthusiastic, but I’d agree that the holiday period would be the time for an uptick to happen. It would be highly unusual for a video game product to do this, although certain Toys to Life and dance/music games like Guitar Hero were more holiday heavy than most games. Possible? Sure. Probable? Guess we’ll find out.”
