You really need to calm down, we dont know how much exactly Crash Bandicoot or Splatoon 2 sold this week, fact that Crash sold better than Splatoon doenst mean one crached, espacily when Switch has still very low instal base in UK, probably not bigger than around 200k while PS4 has instal base of few millions, so in order that some Switch game be number one need to have very strong attach rate.

Also this is a offical: "Splatoon 2’ outperforms the original becoming the 3rd biggest ever Switch launch, behind Zelda and Mario".


We are comparing the third week of Crash Bandicoot with the first week of Splatoon 2, and if a third week of a game is bigger than the first week of an other game I'd would consider this as really impressive.

I already tried to explain in my second post why install base is not the main reason Crash Bandicoot outsold Splatoon 2. And being the 3rd biggest Switch launch ever is not that impressive imo. Switch is not even half-year old, there haven't been much big game releases for it yet.

Crash Bandicoot sold in 3. week better than Splatoon 2 in its 1st, but that doesn't mean that Splatoon 2 "crashed".

Crash is selling great in any case, but of course that Splatoon 2 would sell much better than it is if install base is bigger, and Switch instal base in UK is currently just around 200k.

Also few points, Crash is $40 game while Splatoon 2 is $60, and we have infos that last week Crash had stock issues and that this week shipments for game are bigger.

" No way you people can downplay this, Splatoon has been crashed in the UK" That sounds pretty negative to me. I like to see it as Crash has sold great and for Splatoon 2 to get very close to surpassing it is great also. Maybe you meant it as a joke?


Splatoon has been crashed in the UK = Crash Bandicoot > Splatoon 
Nothing more.

You cant spin this, you first said "that Splatoon 2 crashed", and then you said that you didn't said "anything negative about Splatoon 2 sales". You really don't know what are you saying.
