With the PS4 throughout the gen, it was ~like 20-25%, that were new users (I think they mentioned it a few times, in the PS4 era).
With PS5 they have more first time, playstation people.

This has to be new audience, or people from other places (pc, xbox) that moved to playstation.

Thats fine my friend. I am not falling into a depressive black whole🤣!👍 I am sorry if i offended anyone by "spinning numbers into negative" by mentioning that its still down. In fact we are all console gamers. I just wanted to prevent anyone to be dissapionted if hardware sales increase will be lower than expected. You know i am in gaming since the 80 years. I saw console generatkons come and go. I saw the downfall of Atari, the rise and the downfall from Sega, i saw the hights and the lows from Sony as well as from Nintendo and i am experiencing the downfall of MS. There was always hooing that old systems recover when game X/Y comes out. I experienced it with Super Mario World 2 in 1995 wich did not prevent the SNES fall, i saw it with the N64, we all experienced the sharp decline of Playstation 3, the WiiU is also no stranger to me, like Sony handhelds or even the old Xbox who was not able to dramatically prolong its lifecycle despite Halo 2 was selling ~3.3- 4 million copies day 1, annihilating even Ocarina Of Time's launch. Both where record numbers for that time. There is no "Playstation magic because its the Playstation", in the end of the day its only a console like others. When new hardware comes, old HW goes. PS1 and PS2 where exteeme outliners like the DS/3DS. The 3DS maybe had the best decline curves ever if you look at 2015-2017. But like i said these are expectations. Where the Switch goes we have to see but its not looking that bad. For the PS5 its a bit early. Its in decline but also here we have to wait how things will turm out...

im an optimist lol

You ain't Tbone's Padawan per chance ?

after having looked up the definition for “padawan”, all i will say is…perhaps (in that i frequently make pie-in-the-sky projections, so that if they ever do end up correct, I’ll be able to say that I was the only one who saw it coming lol).

Next time, I'll mention apprentice instead 😛

We cannot say anything but ~2 million for its first 2 months cannot be called great, sorry. Nevertheless, i think IF Astro Bot's numbers where that huge, Sony would not have been shy telling us.

 The fact that Sony announced the 1.5 million sales to me says they do think it's great. Whether it's great or not really depends on the company and what their expectations and or goals for the game were in the first place. 

Capcom was very happy when Dragons Dogma 2 sold @3million and it blew past their expectations for the game. A game that was released everywhere day 1.

Square was disappointed that FF16 only sold 3 million on one console. While knowing they could still port it to PC and Xbox. 

Astro Bot is one of the best selling games in Brazil lately, at least in physical copies.
6# on Amazon, #4 on Mercado Livre.

Its a difference if Dragon's Dogma, basically a standard game, with barly any hype sold 3 million, wich probably at least barly exceeded expectations and a game that was supposed to be a "Mario Killer". Of course a game, calling itself like that has to sell "a little bit more" that 3 million to even be taken seriously in that field. If i want to be a soccer player on par with Toni Kros, or Ronaldo i have to reach a bit more than only be in the winning team of a school soccer tournament. Adding the fact, that the Studio behind that game just closed does not help convincing everyone about the games sucess.
