Yeah seriously, the early Crash Bandicoots were good, but I for one am GLAD that Naughty Dog ditched the franchise and moved on to other things (like Uncharted and Jak and Daxter).

The Playstation 3 should have sold 20 million units by now? Sony could not have even MADE that many.

What exclusives has the Wii stolen, please tell me? The 360 has stolen some, but I cannot think of ANY off the top of my head that the Wii has stolen. It may have stolen some development resources, but developers are still making 360/PS3 games with their left hands while they praise the Wii with their right hands.

Games like Dewy's Adventure (at least in Japan) and Alien Syndrome flopped, big time. Nintendo out-competes a lot of the third parties on its console, which could push them elsewhere even if the Wii has better hardware numbers. I know they will adapt, eventually, but they won't make Wii games if Wii owners only want to play Nintendo games.

How can you be glad that Naught Dog ditched the franchise? If Naughty Dog stayed with the franchise, perhaps Crash Bandicoot would have been stronger than ever. Nobody knows how good the Crash Bandicoot games could have gotten, if Naughty Dog stayed with them, for every new Crash Bandicoot game that Naughty Dog made, was better than before. Naughty Dog sold the Crash Bandicoot franchise at its highest state. They didn't wait for the franchise to go bad before selling it, even though it did, after they sold it. Naughty Dog had to start from scratch all over again with the Jak and Daxter series, which I personally think nothing of. Instead of starting from scratch on a new series, they could have built upon the already high reputation of Crash Bandicoot. Crash Bandicoot only went bad after Naughty Dog sold off the franchise, but before, so I don't understand why you would be glad that Naughty Dog sold it, because the franchise got bad after Naughty Dog sold it, and not before. Now can we stop talking about Crash Bandicoot. I only used him as an example, and everyone else is obsessing about him more than me.
