Spyro and Crash were not even remotely the best franchises on the ps1. Also Ratchet>Spyro and Jak>Crash so it all worked out great.

If memory serves me correctly, the Crash games and the Spiro games averaged scores in the high 80s/low 90s and sold an insane number of games.

They represnet the 5th, 6th, 8th, 16th, 18th, 24th, 27th and 29th best selling games on the Playstation which was quite an accomplisment. They really were the only stand out platformers on the Playstation, which means that they were some of the best (or most important) franchises on the Playstation.

Hypothetically speaking, if these games didn't exist the Saturn and N64 would have (potentially) sold noticeably better than they did.
