We cannot say anything but ~2 million for its first 2 months cannot be called great, sorry. Nevertheless, i think IF Astro Bot's numbers where that huge, Sony would not have been shy telling us.

 The fact that Sony announced the 1.5 million sales to me says they do think it's great. Whether it's great or not really depends on the company and what their expectations and or goals for the game were in the first place. 

Capcom was very happy when Dragons Dogma 2 sold @3million and it blew past their expectations for the game. A game that was released everywhere day 1.

Square was disappointed that FF16 only sold 3 million on one console. While knowing they could still port it to PC and Xbox. 

Its a difference if Dragon's Dogma, basically a standard game, with barly any hype sold 3 million, wich probably at least barly exceeded expectations and a game that was supposed to be a "Mario Killer". Of course a game, calling itself like that has to sell "a little bit more" that 3 million to even be taken seriously in that field. If i want to be a soccer player on par with Toni Kros, or Ronaldo i have to reach a bit more than only be in the winning team of a school soccer tournament. Adding the fact, that the Studio behind that game just closed does not help convincing everyone about the games sucess.
