Crash Bandicoot’s wild success proves that nostalgia sells

As if anything that Nintendo has ever made suggested otherwise, nostalgia sells. People love buying up the products that made them happy in yesteryear, and Crash Bandicoot’s absolute domination of the UK sale charts proves that video games that make a lasting impact will forever hold an audience.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy appears once again on top of the sales list, the fourth time it has done so over the last five weeks! It also only dropped off 28 percent from the previous week, half of what the competition dropped.

Splatoon couldn’t bring it down last week after it came up short by 700 copies, and a resurging Grand Theft Auto V still comes up short of slipping into the top spot. The only game which has been able to dethrone it is, somewhat symbolically, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.
