Agent 47 has always sucked, though. You can't really claim he underperformed relative to expectations or anything. He did about what most expected him to.

Crash is a beast in Europe. Even in the UK, Crash still does about 11% better than in the US. Crash is even more of a beast in Mainland Europe.

GTA is good in Europe, yes. But if Vercetti is too far behind Crash in the early voting, I don't think even Europe would bail out Vercetti.

Apropos of nothing, Crash Bandicoot 1's main theme has 360000 listens on Youtube. Did not expect that.

And honestly for as much as we want to hate on Niko he hasn't been complete ass. His match in 2008 was a pretty decent showing all things considered (and again, better than anything I'd ever see Crash doing)

Yeah, and he followed it up by getting doubled by Jill!

Hey I'm not going to call that Jill Valentine performance good. For what it's worth Crash didn't do much better than Niko that year either though. (and if he went directly against Jill I might call for around a doubling for him too)

I feel good about Crash here. Wheatley's probably got brackets behind him right now.

First update after the freeze will tell us a lot.

You gotta feel that Wheatley has brackets/expert picks and that anything Portal (even the weaker Portal 2) has a better freeze vote than Crash Bandicoot. Feeling pretty good about this one!

And fortunately so after I embarrassed myself with Thrall yesterday.

ended up going Crash>No Pick>Vercetti. Looks close enough that hedging my bets might have been the "right" strategy.
