In a post on X/Twitter, Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz highlighted the game’s impressive performance. “Astro Bot has done better than basically every new 3D platform game in the last 10 years (Mario aside),” Dring stated. He also mentioned that the game’s true success may take years to fully unfold, but its initial impact is clear.

The success of Astro Bot is especially noticeable in Europe. While it didn’t dominate physical sales at launch, its digital sales helped boost its overall performance. The game sold 34% more than Sonic Frontiers and 52% more than Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. Even Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which performed well, was eventually surpassed by Astro Bot, with it selling 7.5% more copies.

Me and 10 other 38 year olds got so hype when the Thunder Force V music played during the final assault level where a Playstation commercial blasts through an alien armada.

Who knew that a polished game with good marketing and zero microtranscations would have good sales?

It does not at all undercut the point here. It's just a reality of how popular a small handful of franchises are compared to everything else.

Bruh you can't just say Mario aside lol

Yes, people, some games are so dominant that they need to be removed from comparisons like this.
