I'm certainly hopeful, but seeing how Ratchet & Clank and Sackboy sold, I'm not holding my breath. Astro Bot is currently 14th in the US on the PS Store, but it looks like the game is worthy of selling 20M+ and sending a statement to the industry!

10m is very high for the type of game it is yes. Considering it was made by a small team of 65 people in 3 years it doesn't need to sell much to be a great success though.

Ratchet PS4 sold 7m, LBP3 sold 5.5m on PS4 (don't know ps3 numbers). Ratchet Rift Apart sold 4m on PS5 in it's first 2 years.

10m isn't impossible but would be a tough. 5m is very good for a family friendly title like this.

Yeah 5m is more what I'm expecting, but the game seemingly deserves at least to be a wakeup call to the industry. Concord being the other side of the coin lol. Which, who knows, maybe it doesn't need to sell absurd numbers to still make a statement. Word of mouth already is spreading like wildfire, so I'm hoping 10M has a high likelihood.

Makes sense why Sony pulled the plug on Concord so harshly now. They knew what about to release with Astro Bot. Wanted to give the game all the limelight rather than taking away from it with continuous articles about how poorly Concord was doing.
