As far as sales, normally, I would go with Zelda due to the name and the install base advantages but I could see Astrobot being bundled with the PS5 this holiday, so that would probably give it the advantage in the long run. Plus, Astrobot is exactly the kind of game the PS5 needs right now.

Regarding the games' critiques, Zelda just got 10 times more interesting for me after that new detailed trailer last week, so I'm expecting really great things from it now. But Astrobot looks so freak'n good and after Playroom (still one of the coolest things I've played on PS5), I truly hope Sony doesn't waste the potential with this IP like they did with Sackboy.

So I really don't know what to expect here, so I gave them both a nod:

Voted Astro for sales, Zelda for reception.


Astrobot looks amasing, this is like a Sony version of a "3D mario game" level of insane polish for a 3D platformer (a good 3D mario is something special).
I didn't even think sony could pull off something of that level.  To be honest, not many can compete against nintendo when it comes to 3D platformers.

Zelda EoW looks low effort...  it almost looks like a high resolution version of a 3DS game like "a link between worlds". 
While it has novice and creative ways of interacting with the world and creatures in it, it just looks abit dated to me.

I think Astrobot wins in both area's.
