Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bubsy actually was ALWAYS bad, right?

I'm happy that this is selling so well. We need more variety in games.
Sarcasm?
I had my doubts because people were saying they were not good and I thought nostalgia was tricking me but after playing the trilogy again this week, I begun to wonder who the people are saying that the originals were never good. Either they didn't play those games, were bad at it, lump it with other games that "were bad" like Sonic,or prefer a different mustached platformer. Obviously it's people taste and they can prefer whatever they like. The originals might not be the greatest but they are certainly at least good.
I don't see a number 4 on that box. Clearly a spin-off.

Where is that weight lifting gif when you need it?^^
Yeah, but that's also why I took care to add "approach" 4 million. It should be safe for doing above 3 million with an extra 2 weeks, if talking first month sales for Crash.

Needs to be shopped with smug Bandicoot face now, obviously.
Yeah sure. I mean all of these people are waiting for an actually good platformer (Mario Odyssey) so they're trying to quench their thirst with some subpar remake of games that were never good. But hey nostalgia will sell everything!
People only liked those because they couldn't play the superior N64 platformers. Linear levels lmao.
Odyssey can't come soon enough. It's time for Nintendo to show the rest of the world how to make a platformer because no platformer ever has come close to the immaculate greatness that is Mario, only Banjo and other N64-exclusive platformers.
It's clear as day at this point that good platformers are only possible on Nintendo hardware.
God bless Miyamoto-sama.

You're not wrong, just poking fun at how 2017 is the new 1996. ;p
I'm curious how the game will sell on Xbox One.
I don't imagine most Xbox fans have any sort of attachment to Crash.

Why did Sony ever sold the IP?

And we're done here, what's not to like!
Come holiday you can pretty much be sure it will be bundled with maybe Rachet & Clank.

Never owned it in the first place.

Outselling Mario is not deserved, but Crash Bandicoot is a good series of games and I am very happy it has been a success. I just hope that the result of this success is a new Crash Bandicoot game, rather than any more remakes / ports. Crash Team Racing and Spyro 1-3 can still be played without any issues on PS1-3, PSP and PSV, so please, give us new content, rather than just repeats of former glories.

They didn't own it in the first place, they signed a contract with Universal (owner of Crash IP) to make 3 games on PS1.

Sony never owned it.
That's pretty crazy
Sony never owned the IP in the first place, Universal owned Crash which then ended up in the hands of Activision.

He was a mascot for Playstation but was never owned by Sony.
Take a look at Sony's output.
He clearly meant he doesn't think people are willing to play old games without modern conveniences (and better visuals) which is why Sony are remaking a lot of their old games.
Are you using Base as a source? lol
Does the graphics of the N. Sane Trilogy look old to you?

I got you. My question was unrelated to that whole year thing, lol.
When's the last time Activision put out a game with "lives" in it? ��

Yes, Bubsy was never big and is widely considered bad, even back then.
Is this confirmed now? I'll be there day one if true.
Nothing is confirmed yet

They never owned it to begin with. Its why now if Sony publishes something they want the IP rights outside of games like Spiderman.
Crash was made by Naughty Dog which was owned by Universal Studios. When the team finished work on first batch of [highly successful] Crash games, Universal exited the games business and ND got purchased by Sony. Crash IP remained at Universal, and later on went to Activision.
Ugh no it was awful. There were no good Crash games after the first 3 and CTR.

Yeaaaaah I'd expect a Crash 4 announcement within the next year based on this. Jesus fucking christ.

Actually Universal didn't exit the games business. They licensed the Crash IP(and Spyro too) to various weird developers and you got stuff like Wrath of Cortex, Enter the Dragonfly and then they became Vivendi Universal you got Twinsanity and A Hero's Tail.
Edit: Nvm I read your sentence wrong.

I posted this Crash's OT since it doesn't have it's own thread:
http://www.psu.com/news/33387/Spyro-the-Dragon-PS4-remaster-hint-in-Crash-Bandicoot
Activision owns Spyro's IP apparently so there might be something to this.
OT: hopefully they restock soon in the places it's sold out, Crash deserves all the sales and love.
Do yourself a favour and take a look at Twinsanity. Clearly rushed I'll grant, but a lot of fun nonetheless.
