Nope, go read my first post in this thread. I simply said the game had hype and that's accurate. I never said people were hyped for it. Furthermore, if you search "hype" in this thread you'll see I'm not the only person with that thought.
You misinterpreted the way I used the word “hype.” No need to argue about it.

Don't really think it works that way man. By your definition every game has 'hype' because every game is promoted by its developer / publisher.
The general consensus for Knack was a resounding 'meh'. It drew very little praise and a whole lot of ambivalence.
As a launch exclusive, Sony obviously gave it some promotional space, but when even the creator of the game goes out to say that Knack is a 'second purchase' game that people buy in addition to a core title, you know it is heading to stink town.

It got a big enough push to be well a known title. It was also one of two first party launch titles. I'm simply putting out there the sales are weaker than I expected.
Its amazing how worked up some people get over that opinion. Surely nobody is impressed with Knack's performence.

You pretty much explained the reason there yourself. The reason it is a well known title is because it is one of the two first party launch title. Had this come out on the PS3 it would get as much publicity as the recent Ratchet game (none).
Knack is a bad game in a genre that no longer holds much relevance in today's market unless your name is Mario. The title had flop written all over it.
