Astro Bot really deserved better sales.

Nice to see Echoes of Wisdom do well though, cool little game. We'll probably never get another update on it sadly, but theoretically if it was at 4.09m last March, I would say 6m lifetime could be reachable.

It would be great if Astro sold 10m but it's done amazingly well for what is essentially a new IP and platformer. Even on Switch, platformers do not sell 5m unless it's a recognised IP from Nintendo themselves like Mario/Kirby/Donkey Kong etc.

Unfortunately we don't have numbers to work with outside of Japanese physical sales but we have good reason to believe Astro will hit a minimum 5m LT. Which is what Crash Bandicoot 4 sold across 5  platforms. Almost double the most recent Sonic game on all platforms. 

The only non remake to perform better has been It Takes Two.

I'm excited to see where the franchise can go from here.

Oh yeah I didn't mean to downplay its sales or imply it did badly, just would've been cool if its sales matched its quality.
