The best Crash game is made known
I guess our nostalgia goggles are just fused on at this point /s

doesn't look like it. We know Switch is #1, so it's safe to assume Switch > PS4 > Xbox.
the numbers won't be impressive anyway. It's June.
With a steady stream of new content, I don't see why it wouldn't.
the Crash Trilogy had good legs, didn't it?
i remember it being talked about a good bit after its release
Also, it's kind of amazing that Kingdom Hearts 3 still sits at number 2 YTD despite not appearing in the top 20 for, what, 2-3 months?
Well it sold 10 million copies as of February. Going multiplatform after a year helped stir up interest again though. CTR Nitro Fueled is just missing a PC port.
But Nitro Fueled's post-launch support is way heavier than anything the trilogy got.
i just checked twitch and 68 people are watching Anthem while 504 people are watching the RE2 2019Anthem sold more than Resident Evil 2 YTD...
Nintendo's been back for a while now but it's still pleasing to see them back on top after the tumultuous Wii U years and the various "Nintendo should go 3rd party/full mobile" takes.
I thought of this again because the first Mario Maker was great but kind of fizzled since it arrived on the Wii U 3 years after launch.

I think what might help is that either on purpose or not(probably not), they followed the old Nintendo strategy of not releasing more than one title per generation within a franchise. I would assume its due to rising costs and development but there are barely any sequels this time around.
Any whispers on what the hardware totals are? Does magic pork still do his thing? Sorry been outa the loop.
. N.Sane Trilogy released on June 30, 2017. So CTR also had an extra two weeks of tracking.
The game is very special. Whenever I turn on my switch I think about going back again. I think I did spend around 400 hours, but I always feel like there is something new for me to see, or not even new, but just a different angle and I am missing out...
Love the game.
It's amazing how well their games can do when they're on hardware people actually care for :P
I'd say the game only fizzled out some time after the Switch's release as it got a lot of support and levels for its first year or so
not really. you don't see a game from 2+ years ago charting and the games that do often get price drops after a while whereas nintendo's games stay full-price for years.
sony's first party games are definitely doing very well these days tho, just not on nintendo's level.
CTR BRINGING THE BUCKS AND BRINGING MUCH NEEDED VARIETY TO THE TOP 10 BITCHES!
Bow before the resurgence of the Kart racing renaissance. Right now your favorite developer is trying to figure out how to develop their own Kart racer so they can cash in on this wave.
This is like the Avengers, but for video games. Everybody must copy.
Come at me.

I actually bought it on PC during the Steam sale. So I bet a lot of new console owners are picking it up.
I'd say they're getting there with their AAA releases, with their best ones matching Nintendo. It's the smaller budget titles which aren't close to Nintendo's level
im more excited for the upcoming Left4Dead Renaissance, but ill settle for this for now
i mean a huge title like horizon that released at the same time as botw is no where to be seen, and it's like 20 bucks for the complete edition (game+dlc). they're doing very well but even for the biggest games the legs aren't comparable.
Oh their legs aren't comparable but overall sales are. The former does seem to be improving though with the PS4 and that might continue with the PS5
When you're this consistently good, it's hard not to be ;)

Seems like it's on Switch this year to deliver year over year growth to the whole market. Maybe new models and new releases can do it. Switches growth would have been stronger if not for lack of new releases in the first half. Strong second half upcoming.
PS4 was on sale for the month with the "Days of Play" promotion. Didn't seem to do much.
Pretty obvious that PS4 and Xbox One need official price cuts. Is this going to happen? Obviously it's been nearly 6 years since new hardware.

They're nearing the end of their lives, with next gen just a year away. I don't think a price drop would do much to stop the decline they're in and, really, would it the potential increase in sales make up for the decrease in price? Once the next gen systems are out, people will just move on to them and they'll hopefully deliver growth to the market
instead of a price drop, I expect one more major revision for both the PS4 and XBO, to move to cheaper parts that will eventually scale down in price while staying profitable (like with the ps3/360 late models)
no real reason to chop the price of either just yet
Feel like this is underappreciated. But didn't CTR have a special edition or something? That could muddy the comparison.
Yeah, I can definitely see that and then a permanent price drop once the PS5/XB2 are out and sales fall off pretty hard
Yeah, might as well make what they can before they move on to their next systems
i love late gen console revisions
i still have my top-loader ps3 and a 360 that looks like a Western Digital hard drive lol
...ahh...I forget that the PS3 had a top loader revision at some point. Not gonna lie, I actually prefer top loaders over inserting the disc into the system :P
yeah, most people i talked to hated the design but i dug it
the weird grooves on the top kinda gave it an older style, reminded me of an Atari or an Intellivision
kinda wish they would of released a version with fake wood panels attached to it
