Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time box art.

Although Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time did not make the top ten software NPD chart for October, Insomniac Games is still very satisfied with the sales performance of their latest title.

In their latest Full Moon Show podcast, the developer revealed that A Crack in Time is the fastest-selling game in the Ratchet and Clank series yet. That is a rather impressive feat considering that the eight previous titles have combined to sell over 25 million units worldwide.

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time was released on October 27th exclusively for the Playstation 3. The October NPD report covered the period between October 4th and the 31st.

25 million!? VG Chartz needs some adjustements

Nice to know it's doing so well



VGC shows this aswell. But VGC also shows that it is about to fall behind slightly after next week. Depending on what numbers a crack in time pulls off.

For some reason these games have always done terrible in the first two weeks or so then picked up after.

R&C games have always sold better in North America apart from Tools of destruction which did kind terrible for a ratchet game in he states but brilliant in Europe. I think the low PS3 userbase in NA held the franchise back on the PS3.

Now that the PS3 is selling better in North America where the franchise is most popular and its now more popular in europe then ever The is really no reason why this game cant do between 2-3 million. I would say closer to two though.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Too bad this series isn't any fun to play. Sure, it's got charm, but the gameplay is so shallow and weal all-round. Especially the platforming, and it's classified as a platformer. Really overrated series.

Get this crap out of here. It's no better then bringing up financials in a sales thread... dear lord. The franchise has sold over 25 million copies. Obviously a lot of people dont think the same as you... I personally loved ToD

The most weak and shallow gameplay are some of the highest selling games too. Halo and GT....

They are like 12 million off... wowzas. On average each one sold 3 million... I didn't realize this series sold so well.

R&C is very good, just played on the demo, the graphics are lovely , and the game play is good, but is it just me, or does it feel like ratchet runs a little slower than on tod, going to go check later, i might just be me because i haven't played R&C in a while



it's the future of handheld

PS VITA = LIFE

The official Vita thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=130023&page=1

i got one copy last week, and i am loving it
thx insominiac



LOl 25 million yeah right. Maybe at a dollar in the bargain bin.

I'm sorry, when you sell pathetically by NPD, and debut at #16 in the UK, I'm not accepting that your game is a hit, period.
