After a particularly long absence, Crash Bandicoot is finally back in good and due form with a brand new episode, more than two decades after Crash 3. The time for a first assessment is thus required and it is clear … that the title may not be doing as well as hoped. Indeed, Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time sold 402,000 digital sales the first month of its release, the scores of the physical version are not yet known however. It is honorable, of course, but especially less than Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy or Crash Team Racing which, in the same period of time, had passed respectively to 520,000 and 552,000 copies on the online stores.
Where, on the other hand, the economic results can make the difference is that Crash Bandicoot 4 is sold at 59.99 euros, where the other two titles mentioned above were offered for around forty euros. If we add physical sales to the statistics for this fourth episode, then maybe the situation will be a little more comfortable.
Anyway, we hope, in the long term, that sales will satisfy Activision so that the agreement for a fifth installment is passed: the little guys from Toys for Bob have done a wonderful job for this last colorful chapter, that we describe you with love in this written test.
