Wild guess for that number?

Yeah, maybe a bit optimistic lol. 

It's fine, just wanted to know if there was some kind of rumour behind that or it was just a guess estimate.

From all accounts it looks like Astro Bot had a strong holiday season. I wouldn't be surprised if its sitting around 3M+ unit sales right now. 

3 right now sounds a little high but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 3 by the end of business year (end of march). In the amazon of my country it's almost sold out for the 4th time since release but my country isn't the biggest ps market out there.

I actually disagree, for it to be hitting top 10 during peak holiday weeks and months, it means its moving notable numbers. Likely a fair bit more than it did during its launch period which was soft but consistent. If it was at 1.5m after 2months I think another 1.5m across Novemeber/December (holiday boost) is pretty realistic. Either way glad it's showing legs! 



Does anyone know why there are no Square-Enix characters in Astrobot? I mean they added Gex, but not any big characters like from Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and other RPGs. Did they have a falling out or something?

And the Buster Sword from FF7 was in Astro's Playroom too.

It's really strange Astro Bot having zero Square Enix cameos.

When Astro Bot adds Omega Boost mech bot I will get it.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

I enjoyed Astro's Playroom but I'm gonna wait for it to go on sale for around $40 or so for the base game before buying it.
