They failed because they didn't sell as much as Crash? That's a high standard to live up to. I think they sold just fine - The only problem was that it didn't really distinguish itself from Ratchet & Clank, and each franchise pumped out a copy every year. I think if they took a year between games, gamers might be more willing to pick up the sequel.
If they failed, why do you want them to bring the series back? You think it will magically sell as much as Crash because it's on the PS3? |
I don't think this is entirely fair either, especially as Jak and Daxter came first, and was a very different game to the Ratchet and Clank that came later. However, Jak2 was more Ratchet meets GTA, so it did lose its way a little, I've always thought. Still a great game, though.

I always got the two confused. On the outside, it seemed like they were pretty much the same games.

Yeah, I can understand that, but they were really, really different (albeit both 3D platformers). Ratchet was all traditional 'levels' and guns -- lots of guns. Jak was traditional 3D platforming in a completely open world with astounding draw distances for the PS2, and had no guns at all (although it did had Fireball throwing if you collected the right Eco). In fact, this reminds me of just how awesome and revolutionary (for the time) Jak and Daxter was.
I feel a retro review coming on...
