May as well just say "225k on Xbox One and NS". Physical PC sales are basically a non-entity these days.
PS4 Crash released in June 2017, yes?
I wonder how sales for this game will end up looking between the PS4 and the Switch a few years from now.
Switch might make it to a million eventually, yet it will pale in comparison to the PS4 version, it having a headstart of a year.
These are more like the numbers I expected for this game. I was flabbergasted by the PS4 numbers last year. It's a very mediocre series, but I guess diehard playstation fans love it.
As CGI mentioned, there is, and will be for at least the next few years, a much larger install base to sell to. Plus, many Switch (or XBone or PC) owners also own a PS4, and purchased the game for that system in the last year.
I'm in that group. Had the game launched on all systems at the same time, it is very likely that I would have purchased it on Switch. But, being a Crash fan from the 90's, there was no way that I was going to wait a year (and, a year ago, we weren't even sure it would every come to other systems) to pick it up. So, I bought in on PS4.
Poor suport by non ps4 players.
