>Remember when Sony tried to make Crash the "next Mario/Sonic"

yeah, they gave up that and made PS1 and PS2 100 million seller. While N64 and Gamecube... and Sega....

;), You can't win them all. Crash was a cool character, it was just not milked enough

Hey, Crash was the undisputed FACE of the original Playstation, ok? He was one of the two reasons I bought one, and he pretty much WAS their Mario/Sonic. He was completely great throughout the PS1's life, then they whored him out when PS2 came out.

 

(The other reason was the Small Soldiers game XD)


Both Crash and Spyro could've gone places if Universal hadn't gotten a hold of the IPs.  Jak and Ratchet are more than worthy successors, imo, but it just so happens that platformers aren't THE genre like they once were.

They were just a little late to the party. :(
