Mario is also being outsold in El Salvador, since Wii U didn't release there! Not sure why nobody made a thread about it already.


:/ Maybe because the the Wii U has been out in the UK for over a year and SM3DW is readily available in stores.

 

I'm only expecting Knack sales to be high as it is are heavily bundled with a bunch of the PS4s.

If we were only to take copies sold at retail rather than bundles, I'm sure SM3DW > Knack.

this is out of hand, its obvious Knack will outsell SM3DW in UK.

Is this going to happen every week now? -_-


No it's not. Many predicted that it'll have better legs like all Mario games do (don't remember if you were one of them). I want Knack to sell more and still think that Mario will outsell it eventually in the UK. 


It was obvious in week 2 Knack would sell more. Its funny cuz this is a way of trying to put down nintendo again like always. Where are the SM3DW outsells Knack threads at? Also like how SM3DW opened with about a third of Lightning Returns but still manage to outsell it in 5 weeks. But god damn there isnt a thread on it every week (its outselling it every week for awhile now).

Its just funny maybe the first time, but god damn this same thread will happen every week for the next 2-3 months!!! 

Read your own post and you'll understand why it's something worth making a thread about. Hint: it's something completely unexpected. Just like when a Tales of game outsold a FF game (xilia first week sales> ff13-2(. Mario games are expcted to do well. And actually there've been several threads about Mario outselling Knack wordwide (which also includes Japan sales, when it shouldn't; but that's another stoty). So, I get that you're a Ninty fan and might not see it when it happens, but Ninty fans do make several threads (whether it is to put down sony or not is debatable; I will refrain from making assumptions).

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

im not saying dont make a thread, but come on. Same thing every week for over a month now? Vita beats 3DS in japan for a week. Several threads are made. Thats fine cuz Vita never beats 3DS there. WiiU outsells Everything, a thread is fine but when its Fan vs Fan (ex nintendo vs sony or M$ vs Sony) threads going on every week for weeks its just annoying. Its Expected for Knack to outsell Mario and i promise you Knack will outsell  mario again for the next 4-8 weeks and we'll see another "Knack still outselling SM3DW"  thread on every Monday

I'm pretty sure the UK market is very different from most of the other markets in the world. primarily in that we have seen that Nintendo titles in generally sell the worst there aside from maybe Zelda. Also its significantly smaller than US so 26th on that chart may mean like 10,000 sold which is hardly something to champion


Well what happens in the UK is resonated elsewhere in Europe too, probably Knack is outselling Mario a lot more there since mainland Europe is diehard Sony territory.

 

Also your sig needs to be updated, Shantae got her original skin color back lol.

Also read the comments by UK gamers on this article: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-30-eurogamers-game-of-the-year-2013

Its sad and funny at the same time, UK gamers insolently hostile towards Nintendo.
