It's hilarious after last year that people still insist that there's always some 'bad' element to this remaster that explains why it sells.
It's a decently priced collection of fantastic games (with a few issues, of course) in a region that loves well priced games. Can't Smash the Crash Train.

Yeah, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Crash but it warms my heart to see a platform game sell this well. I certainly can't complain. Very happy for the development team here!
Man, Europe loves the Crash. I did testing on Crash of the Titans and it was the only product I've ever worked on that in addition to doing EFIGS did Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, and Swedish (and I think Icelandic and maybe a few others?). I have never heard of something going so deep in on Northern Europe localization. But according to my project leads and producers at the time it was like "Well, it does staggeringly well in Europe."
The issues the game has seem isolated in most part to the original. Theres some really funky hit detection and weird physics glitches that seem to happen (the lizards in Lost City seem to have their own gravitational pull for some reason that send you flying in a different direction) but all in all VV did great.
I have a feeling those a bit sickened by the sales might also be disappointed at Tropical Freeze's performance. As good a game as that is, it is not worth the asking price, especially in a budget-driven UK market...
I'm not sure I agree that DK isn't worth the asking price. I mean, it is a port but it's one of the best platformers in ages. If you owned a Wii U, I can see a value issue for some, but if not...it's absolutely worth it.
Yeah fair enough, I guess I'm jaded because I already played (and loved it!) on Wii U.
Good to hear you mate. Indeed, I not seeing the problem about this. Love new games, love classic games.
Not if the console in mention is selling gangbusters, the high attach rates and fast selling console are a winning combo

Amazing that one guy got this started in Activision. I still can't believe publishers struggle to see what sells on Nintendo systems. Nintendo gamers love mascots. Now get Spyro on it!
Ahem, this is US Eshop
It's 24 on the Amazon US best sellers charts.
I know, I'm just pointing out that it's doing better on Nintendo's eshop.
My bad for not making my other post clearer.
Whatever I just hope they announce Spyro remakes for the switch soon.
But Spyro isn't as big as Crash, so it'll do similar numbers despite the growth.
LMFAO
Some users here aren't even trying to hide their insecurity and are seemingly threatened by Crash's success.
Strange, but very true. Of all things, why feel threatened by Crash Bandicoot?
So apparently there were 500k copies of N. Sane Switch sold in the UK according to French news outlet Jeuxvideo.com.
I could be interpreting this wrong since those are huge numbers. Would someone like to chime in?
That's simply impossible, that would be one of the biggest launches in the UK ever.
Much more likely that he means Crash has sold over 500,000 copies in the UK across all platforms since its PS4 release.
Yeah but it's literally the best selling item with no discount.
Pretty crazy but when you actually look at how boring Nintendo's published lineup has been makes sense. The 4 good Switch exclusives are wii u (DK, Bayo2, hyrule) or PS4 (DQB) ports
The automatic translation sure makes it sound like that's what it's saying, but yeah that sounds basically impossible. It must have either meant 500k across all platforms or 500k on Switch globally (which would still be incredible).
I thought that was total across all consoles?
Screw it, I'm picking this up after work today. I need another good 3D platformer for Switch anyway
That's impossible, the One version sold more than the NSW version in the UK.
This is probably 500k copies across PS4, One and NSW in the UK.
So, of those 800k, 500k are from Switch? If so, that's damn good. Hopefully, Spyro Remaster will also come after seeing these kind of sales.
Nah, that tweet is wrong, the Switch version sold a little more than DK which opened at 12-15k, you can add the same number for Xbox and the rest are on PS4.
12 of the top 20 video game items are Switch related. 1 item is a PSN card and 1 is a PS+ card. There's not a single game for XB1 or PS4 in the entire top 20.
Definitely interpreting that wrong. The Xbox One version sold more and there's no way it sold 500k there on the UK either
It's #30, which isn't isn't terrible, but isn't indicative of a game that's selling great on Switch when you look at how long games that are selling well remain in the top 10.
It already did huge on PS4, I'm not sure what people were expecting from the Switch version.
Did you expect it to do great in the UK? Because it did. I would have expected it to perform similarly to what we're seeing in the US precisely because of how well it did on PS4 in the UK.
And that great number is something like 20k, we don't even know the US performance yet.
I'm not speaking about numbers, just comparatively against other titles. Aren't UK numbers really low across the board for most games compared to the US?
It's a smaller market, Amazon also won't give a good picture about how software are doing, better wait till NPD report.
Are you possibly looking at Switch games only? If it's the current #9 best selling Switch game, that's not good.
