Changes To Upcoming Releases
Nintendo has confirmed the publishing of "Fitness Boxing", an Imagineer-developed boxing simulator, as a first party title outside Japan in "Winter 2018". Other changes were announced at E3.
The fact that Mario Kart 8 has sold more on Switch than on Wii U is insane to me. It even came with a free game on Wii U!

It was released early in the Switch's lifespan when there wasn't much else out there. Also you have to remember Switch is getting close to 1.5 times the Wii U's lifetime sales.
Not sure if 1.39 million for Labo is good or bad
Geez rhey only moved 2 million Switches worldwide this Summer? That sounds really low if they want to meet 20 million shipped the whole fiscal year to me... Exactly how much are they stockpiling for the Holidays? Makes me wonder if they'll do crazy Holiday deals / sales to really take advantage of hyping up a Holiday sales period if they have a lot of inventory...They said there was momentum coming out of E3, and the releases in the quarter were Labo, a couple of (impressive) remakes and Sushi Striker. I think Fortnite and Mario Tennis did provide a nice bridge out of the quarter, though.
I enjoy Labo a lot, but I feel that's a little on the low sjde given that's both kits combined and it's shipped, making you wonder if there's still a lot of inventory on shelves. With three Toycon kits out this holiday season we'll see just how Labo does with more of its target younger gamers coming into play come December.Basically, this.

At the end of the day it's still a full priced port. I'd be interested in the breakdown of what percentage of people already own the game on Wii U.

Goes to show how important a decent Battle Mode is to the success of the series.
