The dominance of Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is back, topping the charts this July after a strong weekly showing for the past five weeks.

Having seen fantastic sales on the PS4 after its launch last year, it returns to the monthly charts after its release on Xbox One, Switch and PC on June 29th. While sales on PC seem weak as these figures don't include digital sales, it has had a fantastic showing on both the Xbox One and the Switch, with sales of the Xbox One version of the title up 60 per cent last month.

Speaking of which, with the World Cup fever well and truly over, FIFA 18 has fallen from its top spot last month down to No.6 with sales down on all platforms, most significantly a 71 per cent drop on Xbox One.

I'm curious to see where Jurassic World Evolution can land on the July NPD, I'm constantly forgetting that game when thinking about the summer drought.

Just because I always forget which ones do and which ones don't - is this chart physical only? Absolutely no surprise that Crash hit number one. There are Crash displays at the front of my local massive supermarket with every version of the game on it. When a game hits that 'supermarket board' level it's just gonna sell a ton to a whole new crowd who never step foot inside a game store. Same with music (see that Ed Sheeran record that was on every supermarket till line and petrol station for about six months and just never stopped selling). Turns out Crash got a fucking ton of marketing money behind it in the UK and they've smashed it.

Go Bandicoot! Did the PS1 classic games also make it into the top PSN spots, as per tradition?

Crash also made it at the Top 10 NPD charts at #9, which is actually pretty impressive for a port coming out a year later.

GTA 5 not being there is more of a surprise to me. I'm too used to seeing it on every list.
