...Sony's having a bit of trouble finding their CRash/Spyro replacements I'd say.
Maybe because it doesn't work anymore? They don't have the same demography they had with the PSX. The competition this time is much more mature.

Those figures are sad, especially since Jak 2 and R&C2 Going Commando are both superior to J&D and R&C.
Yeah this is partially true... the female/kids/family demographic that ate up Crash on PS1 seems to have deserted consoles entirely. This has also hurt GameCube relative to N64 (though to a lesser extent)... I think Japanese kids are happy enough with just GBA.Littleberu said:
Still, all Sony's new efforts have fallen way short of the success they managed with Crash & Spyro... that has to be a little troubling for them considering the resources they've pumped into making and promoting these new mascots.
