Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled Is The best-Selling Non-Mario Kart Racer, Selling 10m
Briefly

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, launched in 2019, has achieved remarkable success, selling through 10 million copies. This success has garnered excitement among fans of the franchise, particularly those asking for updates to modern consoles. While 10 million may seem small compared to Mario Kart 8's sale of 68.2 million, it establishes Crash Team Racing as the most successful kart racing game excluding Nintendo's title. This emphasizes the untapped potential within the kart racing genre, paving the way for future projects like Sonic Racing: Crossroads, and leaving fans hopeful for further Nitro-Fueled game iterations.
What do you get when you teach a marsupial how to drive a racing kart? Massive amounts of success, because Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has sold through 10 million copies since launching in 2019.
Fans were excited that the PlayStation icon has done so well, along with a bunch of other fans demanding a 60fps update for modern consoles.
10 million copies sold is nothing to be sneezed at. In fact, based on my research, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is the most successful kart racer that doesn't feature Nintendo's plumber.
It also indicates that even as a niche genre, there's potential in the kart racing genre.
