It's the build that you buy it for, which sounds silly but its true. It's like buying a LEGO set, kids don't generally buy a LEGO set and stick it on a shelf once it's built, they pull it apart, upgrade it, build something new with it. Labo isn't about playing the game so much as the feeling of making something cool using one of the cheapest materials around. That said I feel like Nintendo could be pushing the 'make your own game' aspect a bit more which might have extended the interest in it a bit longer.
