Before either Sony or Nintendo buy it, MS will.

Not a bad outcome, TC could play the new games on his PC.

Well I do have a PC. You know, one of those boxes that has almost all of the games available on any of the current consoles except the Nintendo platforms + a few thousand more games most of which can remain in my  colletion and be played on my new pc"box or pc"station". But yeah, ok.....


So why would you want to want it to become potentially exclusive and especially block it from the platform where the franchise originated and where the majority of people who loved the original trilogy are?


Because pretty much everything on the playstation these days is not family friendly. Thus the reason why crash was tossed aside to begin with. As a kid with a PS1, I had lots of kid friendly games that were also brand ambassadors. Now the PS brand ambassadors all kill people. 


I don't see how is that a valid reason.

And that is simply not true. You have franchises like LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway, Ratchet, Sly, Vita  kids friendly games which I,don't even know names of, multiplatform franchises like Disney Infinity, Lego games, Skylanders, etc.

Crash was never tossed away. It never belonged to Sony, that's all. Universal Studios became Sierra, Sierra Activision, and that's where it's at now. 

When the game stopped being Playstation exclusive, was during PS2 days, when Sony biggest, most notable franchises were still platformers, the platformers trio Jak/R&C/Sly were ambassadors of the console, as kid friendly as Crash was. It wouldn't be "tossed away" if it was still with Sony.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

What? How about Ratchet, Sly, Little Big Planet etc? Not to mention 3rd party games.

No

The only old franchises Nintendo needs to look into buying is Banjo, Conker, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark.. Maybe Battletoads?

The only company who needs to be worried about Crash is Sony! Why? Because THEY ALREADY BOUGHT CRASH! ;)

Those rumors will be proven soon enough

Would it be amazing if Nintendo bought the rights to Crash Bandicoot? Seeing as the classic crash games are not going to be on the PS TV and sony don't have the rights to the games, it would be a nice move.  Imagine the add on possibilities for Mario Kart X Crash Team Racing. DO IT NINTENDO!! DOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!! If I start a silly rumour, then great :D


Never..........After the Bandicoot attack them for his first commercial a decade ago.Never........

Imposible, Nintendo has never done this kind of moves, and I doubt they will start with Crash.

And another thing, Crash only sells as a Playstation exclusive. I would make much more sense for Sony to buy it, but I don't think Activision would ask anything lower that 1 billion dollars for the franchise.

I often wonder how expensive it would be to buy a dead franchise.

Why would Nintendo buy an IP? Why would they buy an IP that is a knockoff of a much more successful IP they already own?
