Crash Bandicoot Beats Jurassic World: Evolution and The Crew 2 for the Top Spot
UKIE, a UK-based trade body for the UK’s interactive entertainment industry, just released the UK video games sales chart for last week, and it seems that Activision’s Crash Bandicoot is still sitting pretty up at the top, even beating Jurassic World: Evolution’s physical release.
Crash Bandicoot’s return to consoles around the world has been met with a very positive reception, even from us, and has it sitting atop the UK sales charts for two weeks now, even managing to stop Jurassic World: Evolution’s physical debut in second place.
Games such as The Crew 2, FIFA 18, Mario Tennis Aces, God of War, and Mario Kart 8 were all bumped down the charts thanks to Crash, and now that the N.Sane Trilogy it isn’t a PS4 exclusive, I’m curious to see what will take it’s crown from it.
