And it is to note that the Crash games had a 1-year development cycle. Even more impressive.

CoD cycles lol... and every Crash in PSOne sold almost 4 million in US (NPD).

Cortex Strikes Back: 3.87 million
Warped: 3.76 million

I don't have info for the first game in US.



Around the Network

More impressive... Crash is one of these Western series to find blockbuster success in Japan.

Cortex Strikes Back: 1.3 million
Warped: 1.4 million

Also, Sony need to get Crash back. Perfect mascot.

There is a problem... the IP owner is Vivendi Games (now called Universal Interactive Studios).



Uncharted doesnt have squat on Crash.



I really enjoyed Crash Bandicoot when I was younger. I hope they bring him back sometime without damaging the series.



Around the Network

Crash Bandicoot is so 1997. Times have changed. Like Sonic, he had his hey-day and it's long since past.

Uncharted is a better series anyway.

Crash was on a larger install base, to be fair, and he had the advantage of being perceived as one of PlayStation's two mascots, the other being Spyro.

Drake has a lot more competition for that "mascot" title.


PS1 had mascots? You should definetly count Lara Croft and Solid Snake then!



Crash wasn't a ND franchise though, they had it licensed to them from whoever owned the Crash IP? :P

EDIT: Wow ND did make Crash. Derp. Both Crash and Spyro have crazy ownership swapping histories.
