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.
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.

What are you talking about!? Who said anything about denial of Crash success, I wrote: "Crash is selling great in any case".
No, what I wrote is that Splatoon 2 would sell more than it is, and easily would sell more than Crash this week, because apparently difference between Crash and Splatoon 2 this week is only around around 700k, Crash sold around 29k while Splatoon 2 sold around 28k.

Your hole post sounded like you donwnplaying Splatoon 2 sales. For the record, Splatoon 2 sold more than 59% than Splatoon 1 on bigger instal base.
