Not a big deal. Mario 3d World will sell for a long time worldwide. Knack will soon be forgotten


this, and GT6 sales are not a surprise, it's a franchise in decline


The system it's on is dying, not the franchise itself. At least TRY to make informed comments!

GT6 should have been delayed a year and ported to the PS4. Release it holiday 2014 and it would have been huge. Still, GT games have massive legs. This should go one to sell 7mil+ units.

This one won't pass 5M ! I'm sure !

GT games sell for years. It'll easily pass 5mil. 

We'll see but I don't think so !


Doubt all you want. GTPSP nearly did it and psp sucked at selling games. Sony will continue selling tbe ps3 for years with Gt6 bundled or right next to it. Hell, they probably shipped 25% of 5mil globally already which already assures profitability

i guess the reason why gt6 was released on ps4 is just to compensate the expensive ps4 campaign.estimated 4-5mio lifetime will generate them 100mio profit.



Some things in GT are just unacceptable to me. How can I play a game where I thud off walls at 150mph and continue as if nothing happened?

Polyphony needs to face reality - There are some things that other teams do better and there's no shame in utilizing such advances.

Hope they're not so stubborn on PS4.

Generally speaking you should be 100% righbut this time it is a very different situation.

All people with a Wii U who wanted to buy mario3d already bought it.And if Wii U sales remain low you can't generate sales.

Even if one out of three buyers of a Wii U is going to buy 3d mario you'll have max sales of 20k a weak while knack will sell 20k even if only one out of ten new ps4 buyers buy knack(and the ratio will be higher as knack has no jump'n'run competition is pretty unique(while 3d mario U is like 3d mario ds)+there is overall few competition for knack as there are few games available and people will simply buy it to have something to play.

seems polyphone is either stubborn-like nintendo or

they invested little and did gt6 as part time job to earn some fast money while working 100% on gt7



Flop Turismo.



Wow, I am genuinely surprised about GT6. I knew it would be a lower opening...just didn't think it would be that low of an opening. I'm sure one of the main reasons is that many are waiting for the inevitable PS4 port though.

I would say this one has a chance to not even sell 5 million unless bundled but I'm sure it will be bundled quite heavily (since most Gran Turismo's are heavily bundled) and will end up selling around 5-7 million copies.



I think it reflects worse on UK gamers than it does Mario 3D World. If they think Knack is better than it, then they have poor taste in gaming.
