I walked into 2 stores this past week and i could find them available. Look for them in-store and you may have some luck.

Astrobot has a Trophie for playing Basketball.

I was close to pulling the trigger on it until I realised the eyes were just painted on the trackpad and weren't LEDs.

Can we call him "he who must not be named"?

Deserves every unit sale possible. Cant wait to get home and play...It's been like that every day.
Both the same day (6th)

Yes, same day even. Astro Bot (SIE) did beat the other major release of that week, Age of Mythology: Retold (MSFT).

Great news for Astro Bot.
Sounds like with physical it is performing decently well considering NBA 2K is multiplatform.
Might be #2 for the following depending on physical sales of Warhammer too, but most likely #3.
Will be interesting to see what kind of legs it has, especially if it wins GOTY, and whether winning GOTY pushes Sony to release this on Switch and PC.
How would LEDs work exactly?

I’m taking the game slowly and soaking it all in. Everything is just so top notch with that game. Like muffling the music when you go underwater. I was blown away by
the mouse level, just shrinking with R2 whenever and having both viewpoints and using both sizes for the puzzles. Etc. I stayed on that level way longer than I had to, to find everything.

The same way that any other LED on a controller would.
I thought that was the caee based on the images and then saw an unboxing of it so cancelled my order for it. Would have been a really cool and unique feature if they had done it that way.

Official report is still monthly, but Matt is giving extra data since Astrobot sales is a topic of high interest.

My favourite level too! I was in awe the whole time. Genius level that shows how a console like the PS5 can deliver an experience Nintendo can't with the switch. The extra horsepower completely sells that level. It was amazing and the one that has stuck with me.

Time for that holiday bundle. Don't be stupid Sony.

GOTY, deserves all the success in the world, I want Sony to do one of their sales announcements, that's when you know it's delivered on the financial front.

very impressive then.
i dont understand this. the bundles would cannibalize game sales. no one should be getting a game for free. if the game is a console seller then it will sell the console AND the game. no need to bundle them.

It’s kinda similar to Mario Wonder going from 2D to 3D, but definitely not as impressive as this Astro Bot level.

The game is probably printing money as we speak or close to...which is great news,

They could have used the same LED that's used around the trackpad by sending the light through the trackpad itself.

They release aggregate data monthly, but they receive it throughout the month.

I don't usually bookmark posts, I think trying to come up with some kind of epic gotcha is a bit petty. People can change their opinions, we all say stupid shit from time to time, and most of all, this is just a gaming forum. It's not so serious.
Having said that...

Bundle != free
Just create a bundle with the game and the Astro controller for like $459 Digital/$559 Disk.
Add some fancy Astro box art and call it a day.

Been a pretty good year for Sony after literally looking like a baron year.
I'll be getting astro with the pro in November. If MS bring Age of mythology to playstation I'll get that also.

Hoping the strong sales sway Sony to consider more games like this.
There was a good stretch of time where Sony was outpacing Nintendo in platformer quantity and many were good quality, but they seemed to give up later in the PS3 lifecycle and then Knack came along and basically put them in full hibernation mode.

Man, what a beautiful day that would be, if Astrobot indeed wins GOTY.
First, it will be amazing day for modern-day gaming and gamers.
Second, the outrage™ and tears will make it even better.

It would be unprecedented if FF7 wins. The game is a remake AND a sequel.
I wonder if Astro Bot can get to a 95 before TGA. A little more separation might make things easier.

I think it's pretty much locked for GOTY.

Look at what we have here! I hope people remember that NBA 2K25 is on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, and PC!

Yeah I am not seeing another game getting GOTY over Astrobot without causing huge controversies. Maybe Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. But that's about it.
Astrobot is the highest-rated game of the year so far. And considering the release schedule of the last 3 months, it will most likely remain the highest rated game in 2024.
It'd be super controversial to ignore a 94 MC game to give the GOTY award to another game, say, Wukong (81 MC)

This might be the only game thats getting over the top positivity on the internet.
Yet you post this.
Prosecution complex much?

At least in my county there were retailer bundles with game + controller = 99 Euro which makes the game 30 Euro. Good deal.

It should please everyone, theres one rainbow controller so appear to have accurate representation as apposed to all of them being rainbows.
