God of War is gonna sell insanely well. Review scores are through the roof. I LOVED the first God of War game, and I do have a PS4 (somewhere...in a closet lol), but I just can't seem to muster up the excitement to get this one. I don't know - I'd probably get really into it if I just unburied my system and ordered the game, but I can't be bothered right now.
I kind of doubt Labo will sell even close to GoW. Especially considering the niches they are aiming, GoW is much, much more mainstream, and I think the latest entry really seems to hit well with tons of people too.
(Not to count that initial impression doesn't help matters with one being traditional game that got massive amount of good reviews, while Labo is uh... something).
Liking Labo is all good and well (I like it to be honest), but to be real, it won't ever come close to GoW I think.
It depends if Labo actually becomes huge. God of War is more likely to hit that gamer sweetspot, but if Labo spreads like wildfire then it can very well outsell God of War.

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
The userbase of the PS4 is much higher than the Switch's userbase. GoW is a mainstream game and Labo is for a certain group of people. So don't expect that the sales of Labo will compete with GoW.
I am curious about the sales of Labo and if it does increase the HW sales of the Switch. Honestly, I don't think that Labo will be a huge hit. But I really like the concept and the Garage mode is infinite. I am curious about the YouTube uploads these week from people's creation.
Now that Labo is out in the US and Japan, it is time for a Pokemon Direct (next week?).
The thing about Labo people are forgetting is that there can very well be other kits in the way. So overall it can sell above like 95% of games this generation if you count all the kits as one game.
Who knows, I'm just interested in the sales numbers to see how much legs it'll have.

Not a chance in heck will labo outsell GoW. After the initial first buyers though of Labo I think it sales will plummet like a rock for its additional packs since the Internet and everyone will just post the blueprints for free.
As a PSA to anyone who wants a sure investment though: a mint in box copy of one of those robot kits 10 years from now will be worth a small fortune.
They clearly aren’t making as many, it’s not the focus of their marketing, it’s cooler and much more complex than the base pack (which will probably be a big success but will certainly find a large die hard cult audience who will eventually fetishise the expensive early one that passed them by), it’s more expensive at launch, they obviously get damaged when made and used etc.
It’s a perfect storm for something to dramatically appreciate in value. I’m not a speculator myself but if you are and you have the money to spend now and the space to store it then I’d say it’s the toy to hoard.
