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 bombed.

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.

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.


New shipments or not, it doesn't change the fact that Crash Bandicoot sold in it's 3rd week better than Splatoon 2 in it's launch week and that is very impressive. I could also say that a lot people had to buy the game digital because there were no shipments available last week, this must have damaged the retail sales for Crash Bandicoot too. There is just no way to deny the great performance of Crash Bandicoot. You say that if the install base of the Switch was bigger, Splatoon 2 would sell more than Crash Bandicoot? I am pretty sure that in a few years (where the install base of the Switch will be bigger) Crash Bandicoot will still have sold more than Splatoon 2. I think Crash Bandicoot lifetime numbers will be higher than Splatoon 2 lifetime numbers in the UK.

The only thing I said was "Splatoon 2 has been crashed" which means that Crash Bandicoot > Splatoon 2. And this is the truth if you take a look at the chart. Stating a fact is not talking negative about Splatoon 2 sales, I never mentioned anything about Splatoon 2 sales if you read my first post closely. The only thing I said is that it is really impressive to see Crash Bandicoot > Splatoon 2 which is a positive thing about Crash Bandicoot sales.
