lol..

 

PS4 exclusive Knack debuts at 13 ahead of Super Mario 3D World on Wii U at 14. Yes, Knack sold more than Mario.

          People seem to forget that Mario is more popular in Germany and France than  in UK.  Mario 3D World sits at number 13 at Amazon France while Knack is not even in the top 100.

One view is that Mario is really doing badly, being outsold by the mediocre Knack...

... but another way of looking at it is that hundreds of thousands of PS4 buyers have such a lack of choice that a sizable proportion of them have to buy a mediocre game simply to do something with their machine.


There is a new Mario game out for Nintendo fans yet they didnt go out and buy the game or the system.

As much as I wish you were wrong, I fear you are probably not. Still, I would like to see a comparison of this Mario against its predecessors, taking into account the lower install base of the WiiU. I mean, I know its bad, but I do wonder how bad it is.

You are not providing a counter argument to what he says, but I'll bite.... Nintendo fans don't want to support a console they don't approve. We are not sheep.

Knick-Knack confirmed sequel for Knack!

Omg it's perfect. Just like Knack.

Wii U is a lost cause in Europe, just about that status in Japan too. This is definitely the next Gamecube, will probably do worse though

PS4 has a bigger userbase in GB already, can't say I'm suprised. Not that Knack has a chance to outsell 3DWorld anyways...

I'm going to file this under the same boat as the XBONE outselling the PS4 last weak. It's true, but not worth thinking about.

Congrats for the great launch though! I really liked Knack.

Don´t worry. Mario 3d World will outsell it just fine in the end of its respective commercial run, while Knack will just be forgotten.
