Astro Bot Sells 1.5 Million Units 2 Months After Launch

Sony has announced that the PlayStation-exclusive Astro Bot has sold 1.5 million units in its first two months.

this is one of the highest rated playstation games of all time. it should have sold much, much more.

 

[psylockolussus]

Astro Bot is hardly a Last of Us and Uncharted. I think its doing well on its own. Sony was never really that popular when it comes to platformer games. I do hope Team Asobi would have this IP as a mainstay til at least the PS6 era. Japan Studio was closed for a reason, so for this newish studio to have this game must be blessing.

I wasn't really comparing it to other IPs by genre, rather just going by the scores. with a 94 on Metacritic, it ranks among tlou & uncharted.

 

[psylockolussus]

And I was commenting when you said it should sold more. I think Sony is happy with the current sales, and the sales would continue to grow for many years to come.

yeah, so I don't get it. with a meta critic score like that and everyone loving the game, it definitely should have sold more. why are you suggesting it shouldn't?

I think Sony is happy with the current sales, and the sales would continue to grow for many years to come.

yeah I'm sure Sony was surprised by the success of the game, just like they were with Helldivers 2.

 

[psylockolussus]

Where in my post, I said it shouldn't sell more. I was disagreeing with your comment that its current sales, aren't enough - when I flat out said, its perfectly fine for Sony and it would increase in the future. I didn't say it shouldn't sell more. There's a difference. You are literally commenting on every post I just made and continue to mix them up.

And Metacritic scores are rarely inline with videogames sales, or else the new Prince of Persia should have sold more copies.

Why did you bring up tlou & uncharted, then? Most games in both of those series sold more than Astro bot in the same time frame.

So if you weren't saying it shouldn't sell more when you literally said "Astro Bot is hardly a Last of Us and Uncharted" right after I said that it deserves to sell more, then why did you mention them at all?

continue to mix them up.

There's constantly a mix up because your points are unclear and confusing.

And Metacritic scores are rarely inline with videogames sales, or else the new Prince of Persia should have sold more copies.

What new Prince of Persia game? I didn't even know there was one. Are you taking about the one that released in January? Because none of the metacritic scores for any version of that game is anywhere close to Astro bot's.

They all scored somewhere in the mid to high 80s and Astro bot is in the 90s.

I got an Astro Bot game that came with my PS5. Is this the same game or does the version I got different (like a free demo or something)?
