Forums - Sales - UK Sales: Mario still being outsold by Knack, GT6 launch sales just a fifth of GT5

GT6 might be the first GT not to reach 5Mil lifetime. It should've been a PS4 title.

Knack is bundled with killzone in the uk last time I checked.

So is Mario.


Mario bundle is limited. 1,000bundles vs 250,000 . Let's stop and think.

The limitation is WiiU's sales not the bundle itself. I can't help it if the WiiU isn't selling any better. You must've noticed that the WiiU has been selling better since the arrival of the bundle. Hence my point.


You are that bundle was on the same level and I proved they weren't. Selling better isn't closing the gap. The fact is the more bundles and install base make it sell more.

Where did you prove that? Look at the bolded to see what i mean!

You are actually claiming every PS4 sold in the UK was bundled with Knack!!!?

Disgusting.

Well, any chance that gfk tracking 3d super mario world bundle apart from the game itself?

If not, confirmed that UK don't care about wiiu at all. If yes, we'll have to wait till nintendo results presentation on january.

About BD, i don't get all this surprise. In japan this game don't saw a huge sucess either, why here a ina not centric jrpg culture this would be different?

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Gran Turismo is shocking somehow, even though it will never sell as GT5, but it's supposed to sell good in UK given all the circumstances.
Tearaway up is such a enjoyment, also for LBPV, 3DS not doing as usual during this time of the year, disappointed.
Honestly, Sony could've sell better with a GT on Vita, I'd love an other racing game on vita, MW was glorious on that screen !

Killzone doing really well

SM3DW will outsell Knack lifetime, even in the UK

Funny how SM3DW getting treated :P Its outselling Knack everywhere else!

GT6 Would be F***ing huge if it were a PS4 launched title!!!

GT6 would have sold more copies than the PS4 itself on launch week if it were a PS4 title!!! Hopefully GT can be king of racing once again with GT7 coming soon!

I have seen zero advertising for GT6, no in store posters, nothing.Maybe Sony will learn some day that marketing sells games, people nowadays don't know what to buy anymore unless they're told... It's the worst time to launch it too.

It might pick up steam in the second week, the review embargo didn't help either.
