DOUBLE CRASH

10/Jul/2017
'Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy' holds on to No1 – a feat unmatched by any other PS4 exclusive title since 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' back in week 20 2016.

'Grand Theft Auto V' creeps up one place to No2 ahead of 'Overwatch' which climbs three places to No3; its highest chart position since W22 2017, giving Activision Blizzard two titles in the Top 3. 'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare' re-enters the Top 10 for the first time since W19 2017 at No8, making it three titles in the Top 10 for Activision Blizzard. Price reductions on 'Battlefield 1' propel it up from No20 to No6. With no significant new releases out this week price promoted titles benefit, with Square-Enix's 'Hitman: The Complete First Season' and 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided' both re-entering the Top 40 at No's 16 and 27 respectively.

Crash Bandicoot N.sane Trilogy is still No.1 in the UK boxed charts despite a 78% fall in sales.

That drop is not unusual during a second week for a big core game release (it's similar to the drop in sales witnessed for Uncharted 4 last year, for instance), although it's a little unusual for a game that would typically be targeted at a kids or family audience. Of course, Crash will have had a strong appeal to nostalgic gamers brought up on these titles during the 1990s.

GTA V continues to maintain its position high in the charts, and is currently back at No.2 despite a 17% drop in sales. Overwatch, meanwhile, jumps three places to No.3 with a 17% increase in units sold. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare makes a belated return to the Top Ten for the first time in two months at No.8, which means there are three games in the Top Ten for Activision Blizzard.

[...]

Last week's other nostalgic release, Micro Machines: World Series, dropped 54% in sales and manages fifth place in the charts.

Meanwhile, some price activity from Square Enix has seen Hitman: The Complete First Season rise to No.16 with a 342% increase in sales, while Deus Ex: Mankind Divide makes No.27 with a 143% sales rise. The latter title is now available for under £10.

Hope crash has some legs

[Kerotan]

Crash will have legs but it's selling out in most places.  So for now a lot of the legs will be digital.  Which let's be honest Sony and Microsoft prefer.  Much less costs of distribution and and no retailer cut.

Crash doing work.
The fact that Zelda Mario Kart and ARMS are holding is a good sign for hardware sales.
The inklings are coming after all

Crash had twice the sales of Tekken 7.
