— Nintendo Enthusiast:
The launch of Nintendo Labo seems to indicate that Nintendo has an interesting strategy for helping the Switch to compete against other consoles.
BLG writes: "The Nintendo Switch has sold more than 100 million units since its debut and it shows no signs of slowing down. While the Switch and Switch OLED are amazing right out of the box, there are a few Nintendo Switch Accessories that can enhance your experience in some useful and sometimes unique ways."
Having been out since 2018, Nintendo Labo VR isn't a new thing, but it has been criminally underutilised. With a staggering amount of potential for Switch owners.
Skyrim vr on the switch???? I honestly couldn't imagine it. It ready looks a blury mess on psvr. So imagine what a switch vr port would look like.
— Nintendo Labo:
Nintendo Labo is an ingenious combination of technology, cardboard, and creativity on Nintendo Switch, yet it didn't sell and is now being forgotten. Why?
It was imaginative, creative and unique. But ultimately, just another Nintendo gimmick. Tech demos.
They dabbled in it, made high profits on what is basically, expensive paper. AR Mario Kart will be following right behind it and Labo VR that they didn't fully support. Because the RC Kart only works for one game. Just like most of the Labo.
Power Glove and Virtual Boy will have a new friend in the closet to sit next to that eventually, will getting trashed or donated.
They were tech demos sold with pieces of cardboard. Anyone could see this wasn't anything more than just a one off thing
Too bad Labo is nothing more than cheap cardboard junk that will fall apart in short order. Just another poor gimmick from a company well known for them.
Yeah, no. I don't think Labo is an indication of their support strategy at all.
It's a side thing for younger gamers and DIY enthusiasts.
Switch is capable of supporting itself on its own via games for the core audience [young adults, mostly, as studies indicate], so this kind of stuff is just an aside for the sake of some quick cash from an untapped/undertapped market.
