Knack is doing is doing pretty bad given there are few options on the PS4 and that game was hyped.

I found it funny people were boasting about Knack in the UK. It accounted for a small number of sales and we all knew Mario was going to outperform it down the road.

When was knack hyped? Most people thought it looked boring from the start. Even Cerny just used it to show how easy the PS4 was to develop for. He called it a second purchase. Don't make things up.

Defensive much?

I mean hype as in promotion. Its a game Sony made sure fans were aware of and it was their game of choice on Jimmy Fallon.

Knack showed PS4 was easy to develop for? They should have worked harder.

Ah but now you are changing the definition of what you wrote. The guy replied to your term "Hype", this is not the same as promotion as you well know, of course Sony are going to promote their launch titles, just like MS and Nintendo did... this did not turn into much Hype for the game, in fact it was pretty low key. It seemed to me that there was way more hype for Watch Dogs than any Sony title.

As for Knack, I'm not buying it at £49 or whatever it is, it seems like a £20-29 game at most, and I think it would have sold better had it been priced as such and I think that's why it's sales have been stunted. Of course if it had sold at a lower price and sold more, than of course there would have been another argument about how one game brought in more revenue or some crap. This is unfortunately what gaming forums are like.

As for Knack/Super Mario.. really who cares. SM3D can sell lots more, but if the wii-u console continues to do dire, then all it suggests is that the user base is just buying up Nintendo games, and let's be honest *this* is the problem for nintendo and has been a problem for some time and why 3rd parties will continue to not support it... which in the end will mean that the wii-u will have trouble getting over 40 million consoles lifetime. Which may or may not be a problem depending on your point of view.
