No need to worry about the sales, it will be an evergreen title and will sell well during holidays. They just need to market it for kids and put out toys, If they hit 1-2 million during the 1st two weeks then its fantastic, They have to grow from there and be consistent and release high quality astro games.

Sony has a problem with abandoning IP's (concord excluded) if they are not immediate smash hits. If they abandon astro now due to slower sales then they will never get their mario and deserve to be dunked on

I mean most publishers abandon IP’s if they’re not smash hits. Gaming is a business after all. MS literally let a studio go, because Hi-Fi Rush bombed.

Well I don't think microsoft and xbox is the template to follow for succeeding in the video game industry, Nintendo is the template to follow in regards to IP cultivation

That's weird because it's performing so well on PSN, Amazon and PSNprofiles.

If the game is not selling that well then Sony needs to ask themselves why people are not hype about celebrating PS legacy. Is it because they lost some of the magic with the PC ports and the constant drama surrounding them?

The game was also announced 2 months before release. Why so short?

At least the WOM is amazing so it should help in the long run.

Yes on PSN it's doing well but Chris doesn't have access to these figures, but he has to report on physicals anyways. So wait till end of month for the bigger picture

Just for comparison, on PSNProfiles Astrobot has 17,353 players and Wukong 18,526.

Space Marine 2 at 3,226. Star Wars Outlaws 5,653.

It's very high for a new release.

I have 24 hous played, 76% completion. I completed the "main story" at 20h and 56%. It keeps being amazing and surprising.

The game is selling very well. UK retail sales are only a tiny portion of the worldwide sales. Remember last quarter digital sales were 80% of the total.

Sales from PSN and Amazon in the main countries are way more representative. It may even reach 10M, by far the best selling Japan Studio game ever (not counting Astro's Playroom xDD).
