Crash Bandicoot Remaster Still No. 1 In Australia And New Zealand
Crash Bandicoot Remaster Still No. 1 In Australia And New Zealand-October 2024
Oct 17, 2024 7:20 AM

  The Crash Bandicoot remaster package, the N. Sane Trilogy, continues to be a chart-topper in Australia and New Zealand. Apart from one week when it dropped down to No. 2 below Rugby League Live 4, it's apparently been No. 1 on the all-platforms physical game sales charts since launch back in June. The IGEA released the latest weekly charts for the period ended August 20, and the N. Sane Trilogy is still No. 1 in both countries.

  That's an impressive performance, but also worth noting is that the summer (winter in Australia and New Zealand) months are typically slower for big new releases. With Destiny 2 coming up very soon, leading into the wildly busy holiday season, the N. Sane Trilogy's days on top are sure to come to an end soon.

  Speaking on an earnings call earlier this month, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said the N. Sane Trilogy has significantly surpassed the company's expectations.

  "We knew that there was a passionate audience out there for Crash--full disclosure, myself among them--but we had no idea... it's hard to tell if that's a vocal minority or that's a real mass audience until you put something out there," he said. "Crash has surpassed all of our expectations by a pretty wide margin."

  Activision has not disclosed a specific sales figure for the N. Sane Trilogy, but there is no question that it's been a success. Activision may bring out more remasters, too. "I think you can be confident there will be more activity like this in the future with more great IP," Hirshberg said earlier this month.

  Rounding out the top five best-sellers on the all-platforms physical game chart for Australia were Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Agents of Mayhem (a new release), Grand Theft Auto V, and Rugby League Live 4. In New Zealand, these included Tekken 7, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

  You can see the full charts for the week ended August 20 below, broken down by platform. As usual, they cover physical game sales only. Another thing to note is that the group that puts together these lists, the Interactive Games & Entertainment Association, does not release specific sales numbers.
