Astro is great but is not even top 3 in the best things to happen to Sony/Playstation in over a decade, lol.

The Last of Us is by far the best thing to happen to Playstation in this last 12 years, no contest.

God of War new saga surely takes second place, and even it already owes itselt to The Last of Us as well.

Horizon IP creation takes third place.

Then you can argue many other things and if it can prove itself Astro can be one of the best ot them in the future.

Everything that Sony games represent now and in the last decade is thanks to TLoU, tho.

Astro easily tops GoW and Horizon IMO. TLoU and the launch of PS4 are def things from outside the “past decade” that outclass Astro.

You did post about "in over a decade", which TLoU is, lol.

And no, Astro is not remotely close to those two, they have two games selling 20M and 15M per franchise each.

God of War norse saga was responsible for being the biggest reason to get a PS4 after it released and until the end of its cycle, it definitely cemented the idea of excellency for Sony games that TLoU massive reignited in the last year of the PS3.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the first big game from Sony to hit PC and try to expand this idea of brand excellency to people outside Playstation. It also worked with Lego to go to a Nintendo platform try to do it as well. Also it was the biggest new IP release ever after TLoU, beating the likes of Gran Turismo.

Astro bot is still minuscule compared to those both in immediate reach/success and potential. It does carry a lot of future potential, like those 3 also did, but it has to prove itself A LOT to come close to their impact.
