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.

They didn't give an update on Helldivers either but we know that it's been selling huge amounts  and top 10 in steam all year. Equally by this logic they would of never given us the 1.5m update in November for Astro if they felt it wasn't doing well.

More likely Sony only cares to initially establish that a game is doing well and does not care much to offer official updates beyond that. Most of our 1st party data has come from unofficial sources or the studios celebrating milestones themselves 

Helldivers 2, sold over 12m in like ~80 something days after its release.
Its been a year now.. here in early feb it was #4 in global sellers on Steam.
Its been high on playstation too.... it is still selling really well.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if its near or above 20m by now (copies sold).

Then theres threads like this one:

Helldivers 2 was the 3rd best selling game (in dollar sales) in the US in 2024.

It is still doing fantastic, even here early 2025, numbers seem pretty decent for it.

At some point I think will give numbers for game sales, and we will see it over 20m.
