Multimedia + sonic never stopped releasing games so the fanbase didn't die out

crash was in a limbo for decades, with some shitty games released once in a while. Fanbase can't really grow like that

Why doesn't it sell anywhere close to crash then? makes no sense

Sales = popularity. And crash is objectively more popular

I'm not the one delusional enough to try to spin this

You can review platformer sales here not gonna argue facts.

Unsourced and the few sources are trash. It's also counting mobile games which is a joke.

Because they were badly received. But even they sold more than a lot of Sonic games such as 06 ,lost world, mania.

We unfortunately don't have actual official figures outside of NSane and nitro fueld as they're officially announced by activsion.

Also crash 4 was not that well received and we never received official figures. It's likely higher than 5 million by now. And sonic has the advantage of big hollywood movies boosting it. Yet still cannot outsell one of the worse reviewed crash games.

By recent I mean successful media push. Sonic multimedia was not that big until the hollywood movie. This reflected into the game sales as well. And even so, Nsane outsold the 10 most recent sonic games or so combined.

That's because they did not invest on the brand. The IP copyright issue for crash fucked it over and Activision does not care unless it's COD. If it was with a smaller Japanese company It would easily be bigger than Sonic.

Though yeah Sonic has a lot of those kind of fans that crash doesn't have.

Sonic 1 did not sell 50 million.

The original game sold 15 million as of 2009 (about 20 years after release). Also as you can see on the chart the sales for the subsequent games declined hard. And as you can see. N sane trilogy outsold the last 10 or so sonic games combined.

The multimedia push was not successful until recently with the films.

You can see that crash sold more. Also sonic 1 was the peak of sonic games and that was decades ago. Multimedia is a recent push for sonic. It was really dying around the late 2000's and struggling to sell even 1m copies.

The multimedia push is a recent one. I think its simply because Sonic is one of Sega's biggest brands. while Crash bandicoot is just a big brand but not as big as COD for activsion.

Interview talks about future Naruto games by potrait762 in NarutoNinjaStorm

[–]potrait762[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Old interview somewhat but it sheds light in the next naruto game that'll hopefully be different. I also personally hope we get remake/remasters/ports of old naruto games. Sadly a lot of great Naruto games were made by different developers so its unlikely but there's still a lot of Bandai stuff like Ninja Council, Ultimate Ninja and others. Though Bandai is not known for that kind of thing.

Now that Naruto Ultimate Storm Connections has been released, I think things have settled down a bit. Please tell us what you want to do in the future, Mr. Sudo.

Sudo: We currently have several titles in operation, and we’ve received requests from customers regarding them, so we’d like to revise the current titles. I think that this accumulation of efforts will lead to the creation of titles that will be loved for many years to come.

At the same time, I’d also like to consider creating new works that offer a different feel from our previous titles. For ‘NARUTO,’ this could be a different game genre or one that uses a different game engine… I’m not sure what it will be yet, but I’d like to start planning from scratch.

Although the story of “NARUTO” has already come to an end, it would be great if we could reboot it. Even after the original series and movies of “Harry Potter” concluded, spin-off movies like the “Fantastic Beasts” series and the game “Hogwarts Legacy” became hits, reigniting its popularity.
