Is it so hard to give platform numbers? Data is neat and useful...

Giving those kinds of numbers to the public really only benefits those looking for platform bragging rights. It's not that it's hard to give, companies just don't see the benefit of providing those kinds of exacts to the public. All a company cares about is how much money a game made. And 20 million copies sold, definitely brought in a lot of money!

Would probably be something like 13m PS4, 4m on Switch, 2m on XB1, and 1m on PC..... Platformers just dont sell well on PC for one. I'm guessing the vast majority of sales are on playstation side, as thats where the nostalgia for bandicoot is.

That sounds about right. PS4 had 1 year of exclusivity for the collection and Bandicoot nostalgia on PlayStation. So that would probably be best guess. Only firm sales we had before it went multiplat was 2.5 million in the first 3 months of release. Then it reached 10 million 8 months after it went multiplat. That's more than double the number of sales since going multiplat. So who knows lol

Only platformer to hit 20 million that isn't made by Nintendo. Well done.

Sonic 1 also broke 20 million years ago. Its total sales aren't known, but they include 15 million Genesis/Megadrive sales, 9+ million sold on mobile devices (not including iOS), various other ports, remasters, and remakes, and various compilation (which themselves are often big sellers in their own right).

Regardless, 20 million is nothing to scoff at. ESPECIALLY for a 3D platformer. I think it might be the #2 best-selling 3D platformer ever, behind only Super Mario Odyssey (unless you count Human: Fall Flat as a 3D platformer) and arguably 64 and Galaxy if you include 3D All-Star sales.

Wow. That's huge. Great game.

More proof that there is demand for 3d platformers.

Really hoping that Toys for Bob partnership will be a new Spyro now since we got Crash 4. There's been leaks that a new Banjo-Kazooie has been in development for the past couple of years too.

Great game. Very satisfying to play. Crash 4 was a worthy sequel as well.

Massive sales. It's close to be the second best selling 3D platformer of all time. I don't known if it has steam to challenge Odyssey 27 million though, but the game is having great legs so it might reach 24-25 in few years
