Astro Bot is no new franchise to be exact. They had Astro's Playroom as a demo on the PS4, they had Astro's Rescue Mission on the VR wich i like a lot (i wonder why Vr flopped so hard its an awesome experience- i only loved the G- Con 45/ G- Con 2/ G- Con 3 more!! (Damn i wish for a G- Con 4, Point Blank 4 Bullseye... but thats a different topic).

And they had it on the PS5 as well in 2020. Yes its amazing how sucessfull it is but don't forget. We have yet to get sales numbers from Sony. It sure has sucess but i doubt it did Mario Levels of sales. Otherwis2e Sony would not have been shy telling us a few weeks after launch. 2 months later and no numbers? I think there is a possibility, it did not outsell Zelda but that would be really sad for Astro. Maybe thats why they kept quiet about its sales?

This is literally the first non VR astrobot game actually sold to consumers, remember PS VR has a userbase of about 5m... that was the maximum audience of astrobot VR

May not technically be new but to the vast majority of consumers its a newly established IP. Awareness was brought about through the PS5 demo but that was a free demo. You are comparing it to a francise that has long had the claim of best game of all time, revolutionised 3D gaming and lasted and been the front runner of Nintendo brand next to pokemon/Mario for 30 years. Killzone was also called the halo killer, internet names mean nothing lol. 

It'd actually be the safe bet to put money on a zelda spin-off, the reason people are expecting Astro is based of legs 

I understand what you mean. I am only refering to post september posts especially in other forums where people swore Astro Bot would take Mario's Place, put out some crazy numbers like 40 million+ and how it would rape it. I don't think many people expected 5 days of Zelda sales to be even in the ballpark of Astros nearly full first month sales. And thats not even an AAA Zelda, only a spin off, heavely critisised by the hardest fans (playing Zelda, as good as no sword fights...).
