I think some people are not really grasping the likely sales trajectory of Astro Bot. There are some helpful comparisons though. Crash bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy sold 2.5m copies in its first 3 months, and broke 20m lifetime. It takes Two sold 1m in its first month. It’s now sold 30m+.

Astro Bot has not been as heavily discounted but it’s already shown strong legs. It will likely break 10m. The fact that it’s never been discounted on PSN beyond 25% probably suggests it’s sales have been strong.

To add to Kyuu’s point: Third-party sales were certainly a big contributor to the milestones of Crash, Spyro, and ITT. If I were to guess, Switch 1 is probably the platform where Crash did the best being that this is where most of the platformers crowd is at.

Playstation is probably N.Sane's (and possibly Spyro Reignited Trilogy's) biggest platform by a decent if not huge margin as the games were deeply associated with the PS brand and nostalgia. It was also a full PS4 exclusive for a year, pretty sure year 1 was comfortably its biggest year, having sold more on PS4 alone than later years on all platforms combined.
