The problem is the hardcore base of the PS4 doesn't play kiddy games like knack. Nintendo has the kids market cornered at this point while Sony appeals to the jaded teenage segment and man gamers who prefer killing things in the basements of their mothers.

That explains the sales, what about the reviews?

One was better than the other? Sony doesn't invest the time and resources for games geared to a younger audience because they secretly hate that segment of the market and don't take it seriously? Nintendo makes games that are geared more towards a fun experience and less about visuals? The reviewers felt bad for Nintendo after the wii u years? 

 

I think there are a number of factors in play but the first I listed is most likely.
