I may be a wrinkly ass, but at least I'm not a dumb ass

 

[Unknown?]

You really are an ass

Ass in a can.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

The fact it's ahead of College Football already bodes extremely well because that game somehow supplanted Helldivers 2 in like a couple of weeks of its release.

Hopefully it keeps climbing, and it seems similar or better success in international markets.

Hey, hey. Simmer down, Junior. I’m 48. My ass isn’t wrinkly.

My balls are.

You can fix that with a clothes pin at the back of the scrotum.

 

[ReyBrujo]

College Football, lol

 

[JohnnyPhats]

You can fix that with a clothes pin at the back of the scrotum.

Do I then clip it to the ass hair?

 

[onQ123]

You people should seek help

 

[mdkirby]

Great news. Bought it day before release to show support, but not played yet (wukong).

Hopefully people keep demonstrating and sending clear messages with their wallets, the games we want, and the games we do not want.

 

[T-0800]

I bought it but unfortunately my copy might not arrive for another 2 weeks. Whatever.

50 years young here. Smooth ass and a massive hairy balls, covering the wrinkles.

I’ll be dad of the year when my little ones get home from school today

I failed as a dad. I had the game preloaded and forgot it released until bedtime. Oops.

 

[Markio128]

I started to read this thread to become educated and informed, and all I’ve learnt is that there are a lot of wrinkly appendages knocking around.

I’ll be dad of the year when my little ones get home from school today

I guess that makes me the father of the century. My daughter (who just turned 18 and thus is an adult now, but lives on her own in another town) came to visit for the weekend. I showed her the game. Said she can try it on Sunday if she wants.

Nice! My dad randomly coming home after work with Double Dribble for NES is still one of my great memories of him. He’s still alive. Ha hard to say stuff like that without assuming they’re gone.

Its only because Black Myth Wukong didn't get a disc release.

 

[onQ123]

If it doesn't have a retail release why are you in a thread about Astro Bot being the number 1 retail game of 2024 bringing it up?

Huh? We know it didn't sell 18 million in one day.

 

[Tomi]

Give us pc!!!

 

[sendit]

Zero interest in ever playing Astro Bot.

 

[Krathoon]

I would have had Astro Bot today, but Amazon sent me an empty bubble mailer.

So, up yours, Amazon.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Exclusives are unfair Microsoft or Nintendo players would buy this game I think a pc port is potentially there.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Very nice indeed. This is what happens when devs create a normal fun game with no agendas. These are the types of games Sony have always thrived on and delivered as well. No online always GAAS shite here just good old fashioned pure gaming fun. Glad to see it doing so well and much deserved. Picked my copy up yesterday and am loving it. The included booklet inside was like a breath of fresh air and reminded me of when I open my PS3 game boxes and see all those game booklets. We need more of this.

Thanks for the update.

I don't know, I'm not very impressed when 2 is college football, 3 is last years mario wonder, 4 is Star Wars outlaws, and 5 is the Oregon trail. Like I'm not sure what the big take away is? Physical is dead? Amazon players have dogshit taste? I really don't know, but looking at amazons top 5 it certainly doesn't make it seem nearly as impressive.

Have you seen the digital charts? Just as bad.

Not surprised college football was first before Astro,it's big(even college) in the us

You can only beat what’s in front of you. And the physical charts are a pretty decent indicator of digital too (as far as Sony are concerned), so it’s most likely a win-win.

They(Amazon) finally shipped out mine today, dunno how well the game will do, not even going to predict but im just hoping it turns a profit what ever the floor for that is.

Still seeing people on my friends list playing a bunch of the same old bullshit though instead of buying this. More people are definitely buying Space Marine II which is cool but you got the money for Astro Bot too sucka. Pay up!

Good to see a creative game do well. What strikes me more than anything is how high Quest 3 is on that list.

 

[solidus12]

But is Sony doomed?

and Xbox is the true console leader.

[CityHunter1981]

At least here in Japan, it seems they are surpassing their expectations. It’s been sold out on Amazon already before launch and lists it now with a 2-4 week shipping time.

Can’t remember any other big release that was sold out so long on Amazon.

 

[VeganElduderino]

 

[Yoboman]

Let's hope it's a big hit. I wonder how many played Astros playroom and want more

 

[solidus12]

Holy shit, even this shill is playing the game.

 

[Ian Henry]

Well deserved

 

[Shadowstar39]

I did my part. Wasn't going to right away, but I hit buy on psn this morning. Glad I did, game is a blast!

 

[Shadowstar39]

I hope so. I played Rebirth this year and loved it so much and was hoping it will get GOTY rewards, but after playing Astro Bot, I think Astro Bot is the better game. I cannot believe how much I enjoy it.

They made the game witch a small team compared to other AAA games, so I hope they can grow and release Astro Bot for PlayStation 6. Just imagine what they could do with a bigger team.

Nah bigger team means less creativity and more comittee. They really don't need a bigger team, what they made is amazing and done in a few years. Keep them small without western influence.

#2 (EA College Football) was/is the best selling game in the US. Plenty of context available to understand Astro is doing very well commercially.

EA Sports College Football 25 is already the best-selling game of 2024

Industry watchers expected EA Sports College Football 25 to score a TD on the opening kickoff, and it debuted at the No. 1 spot in tracking firm Circana’s July report. Not only did it smash expectations and previous sales numbers for a college football game, but it’s also the best-selling game...

It sold a lot?

 

[Ian Henry]

Also why tf is that John Garvin guy getting all salty about ASTRO Bot. Does anyone know the reason why?

 

[EDMIX]

You can only beat what’s in front of you. And the physical charts are a pretty decent indicator of digital too (as far as Sony are concerned), so it’s most likely a win-win.

True, but the real reason they are triggered is because knowing this is factually number 1 on Amazon in the US is a significant thing, means they must factor that Star Wars Outlaws is number 4 on the largest retailer in the United States.

Its almost as if some are trying to downplay the retailer Amazon to try to make it seem as if this feat by Astro Bot or EA Collegefootball or Star War Outlaw is just some random thing or something and not a legitimate measurement

Who the fuck is bigger then Amazon in the retail space right now that we should be getting any data from?

 

[DForce]

I'm predicting a 3m seller in the first week.

 

[onQ123]

How the hell is Quest 3 sitting so high at #18.

Quest has been the "It" item for a few years now & actually doesn't have any competition in the stand-alone VR headset market.
