AstroBot sold badly because they haven't built an audience for those types of games in Japan. The same reason why Metroid Prime 4 will likely bomb in Japan as well.

Did astro bot sell particularly well anywhere, last I saw it had only sold around 2.3 million worldwide. Which for a game that won goty, was extremely critically acclaimed and was marketed pretty heavily seems kind of low.

Well, the PS5 is popular WW because of AAA and live service games, people didn't buy their PS5 to play cartoony platforming games, which is why the audience for AstroBot didn't exist to a large extent on PS5.
