Doesn't the UK like Sony the most?

I didn't like the original crash games and I don't like this

Seriously, it just seems like there are better platformers out there

>>382651826
Typically, but I think the 360 was the main console of the last generation

Also Sega was more popular than Nintendo

>>382664913
It would be nice if one day Monolith Soft could get the rights to Xenogears from Square Penix and remake it into the full game it was meant to be. But that's never going to happen as long as the disgustingly overhyped Xenoblade cash cow is still ripe for milking.

>>382670035
No one really cares about the hallway platformer genre though, but I guess crash is technically the best in that respect

>>382653315
can't spell the splatoon without plat son

I would define Crash as a sidescrolling platformer more than a 3d platformer. It has more in common with classical platformers like Super Mario Bros 3 than it does with open world 3d platformers like Mario 64

People can't seem to make this distinction. Crash isn't good because it's a 3d platformer, it's good because it's a classical platformer in 3d.

>>382670916
Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Dishonored 2, Tekken 7, Prey, Arms, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, Lego Worlds, Halo Wars 2, Mafia 3, F1 2016, Quantum Break, and even fucking Battleborn topped the UK sales charts.

None of these games sold particularly well yet they all topped the UK sales charts.

>>382672590
All of those games, excluding Battleborn, hit their sales targets. You're confusing quantity with targets.

>>382673206
>we wanted it to sell like shit, therefore it was a success

>>382673206
No they didn't. You have no source on that yet we know most of those games didn't sell well, especially Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Prey, Arms, Sniper, Mafia, Quantum Break, and Battleborn.

>b-b-b-but Nioh sold 1 million!!!!
That's actually wrong. Nioh shipped 1 million worldwide and that 1 million shipment actually included sell through's. The devs said this in their press release. You have no idea that GR's sales targets are either so I don't know why you're pretending to know what its sales targets were.
