My expectation is that Astro Bot will see a larger launch than SM2. The reason being that while SM2 was a very highly anticipated title for the Sony base, AB has the benefit of appealing toward PlayStation *and Nintendo* players. It won’t be a blow out, though AB should at least come close to, if not surpassing, the sales figures of SM2 launch.

Super Mario Wonder was the fastest selling Super Mario game of all time, on a massive install-base that caters to an audience that likes those types of games, and Spiderman 2 had a better launch than it.

Spiderman 2 - 5m in 11 days
Super Mario Wonder - 4.3m in 2 weeks

A platformer selling 5m in 2 weeks is practically impossible lol.

Oh lol. For some reason, I thought SM2 (SpiderMan 2) only sold like 3.5mil for its first few days. Yeah, Astro’s not that pulling those numbers, though I do anticipate around 3.5mil for launch.
