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. 

the fact that it was made by like 30-40 devs in a short time period..... I bet even at like 2m copies sold, its more than made back its development costs.

At some point, we need to stop expecting infinite growth and money made.
Honestly any game that makes its cost back and then some, is a success.
Like if they have enough to give another game a go, after the one that just released, that a success.
