I'm still on the Sonic Generations part, it's pretty fun but clearly dated, some stuff scream PS3 days, but playing with Saturn model for Classic and Dreamcast model for Modern makes the game feels pretty cool, lol.
There are a lot of challenges and I'm trying to get it 100%ed.
Hopefully the Shadow Generations part feels more like a PS4 game.
The original console Generations sold 1.85 million copies in its first financial year, so this should end up being at least on par with that.
i’d imagine the upcoming Sonic movie will prolly pump these figures significantly past 2mil before 2024 is done. Whether SXSG can match in terms of legs, I have no clue.
I hope that with this+ the 3rd movie hopefully doing extremely well will encourage SEGA and Sonic Team to bring Sonic's friends back into the fold and do more adventures with them.
I want my Silver the Hedgehog game and Adventure 3, damn it!
This might actually be the most successful Sonic game in recent times. Good reviews followed by decent sales, something Sonic has failed to achieve doing both.
I'll have to check this out
Does that mean Sonic outsold Astro Bot? I mean i know Sonic is on 5 Plattforms but a remaster of a 10 year old + game outselling a "New" IP?
a remaster of one of the most beloved sonic games with a new campaign that is one of the best ones in recent sonic history, that released on 5 platforms, switch included, which is much more welcoming to platformers and sonic games in general outsold astrobot, a new IP exclusive to the PS5? shocking.
If a Remaster outsells a "new" original IP that was supposed to be a "Mario Killer" its quite "shocking". Everytime Sony is not Nr. 1 people try to defend them and find excuses and downplay the victory of their competitiors. The classic is: Nintendo is no competition. And if the Steam Deck outsells the Portal? Is it also "no competition" then?
I could also say Final Fantasy is on more plattforms than lets say Zelda. But it is more sucessfull as a franchise. Full stop! There is no discussion. If Astro was released on Xbox or Switch many would not even care and trash the game. Many people are die hard fanboys they cannot accept their brand loosing a battle without finding excuses. Sorry but that had to come out.
I still haven't seen anyone call astrobot a 'mario killer', and if they did, it's a delusional minority. you keep bringing this up just to downplay the game, but it did fine. it deserved to do more. that's all there is to it.
the rest of your comment has nothing to do with what I said, I never said anything about final fantasy, or the steam deck (???), I was just saying sonic x shadow gens outselling astrobot is not shocking to me lol
I was not expecting Sonic to do that well. It did what? 1 million in 24 hours. That means it did 500k for the rest of the time. For a Sonic game its an amazing start. Do we know if there was another Sonic game with higher launch numbers?
I don't know about launch numbers but this game is the first 3d sonic game since frontiers, and frontiers is the best selling game of the entire sonic franchise.
they did everything right with this one. it's multiplatform, has good performance everywhere, it's a good game, etc etc. the sonic brand is also much bigger than astrobot so I'm not too surprised to see it doing this good.
Hey why does the so called "god of war killer" bayonetta 3 only sold 1m after 4 months on switch with over 100m userbase? I seen people calling bayonetta 3 the god of war killer its so shocking to see it sell so low can you explain that to us?
Please show me any comment despite in heavy hardcore fanboy forums where a niche title and average action game like Bayonetta was called a "God Of War Killer". Anyone just thinking something like that must be crazy. But what i think is that Metroid Prime 4 Beyond with a good multiplayer and a system link feature could come close of being a Halo Killer. I mean the franchised went down in sales over time, and Metroid Dread is the highest selling game of the franchise. On Xbox Halo could very well be surpassed by MP4B. But they have to do it right. Morphball passages, 8 Player (at least) action and a big add campain would be a good start.
Bayonetta and "GOW Killer"?🤣😂
I mean i am no PS Fanboy but even i smile about that!
Oh people been asking you to show them a whole thread of people who you claim to label Astro bot as the mario killer and you still haven't provided it. My "sources" is the same as yours....I saw it on the internet.
"Please show me any comment where a niche title and average action game like Bayonetta was called a "God Of War Killer"
Oh what's this? so now your making the same "excuses" to explain Bayonetta low sales? People have been telling you this same logic when it comes to your obsession of comparing a new IP like Astro bot with a long running establish franchise like Mario, your hypocrisy is in full effect.
"If God of war outsells Bayonetta 3 a established IP that was supposed to be a "God of war killer" its quite "shocking". Everytime Nintendo is NOT Nr. 1 people try to defend them and find excuses and downplay the victory of their competitiors"
You own words right back at you.
Its so sweet i get downwoted for a simple question pointing to a fact. Some people can't take facts.
i upvoted you out of red. :) ...and i will continue to advocate for the removal of downvotes on article comments. Why should such hateful behavior be allowed?
True, Astro doesn't set the world of sales on fire and shows exactly why Sony doesn't make many AA or more unique games these days. The mass market doesn't really care for them. They want familiar names or faces or something that wows them. Astro Bot whilst a great platformer will never reach the masses
I have the feeling (i know i will get downvoted)... lets say i would not entirely exclude the possibility of a Switch (Up) version. After (Lego) Horizon i think everything is possible now. After that happens stupid comments like "because its a kiddieconsole" would appear, despite the fact, only 17% of Switchs userbase are aged under 18 years. There was a nice statistics on ir.nintendo.com. I try to update this post and include it. I was surprised when i saw it.
