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

Poor Bravely Default...I was hoping for more from GT as well but it's understandable.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

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.

No, people who think that Knack is better than Super Mario 3D World are stupid, at least in that opinion.  That seems fair.

You mean both Mario and Knack are released on Same plaform? You comment makes no sense. Knack sells because of PS4 interest and its install base so people wanted something casual to play for their kids  which knack does with its co-op elements and its cartoon visuals in PS4, if they have mario in PS4 they will buy that instead of Knack better. Wii U mario is not selling well because of its install base and people's no intereset in Wii U.

I can blame world for poor sales of Tearaway too even though its great and innovative game available for Vita, but people wants to spend their money more on next gen machines and other things these holidays.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Statement: "Transformers is better than The Godfather and Citizen Kane, combined!"

Normal response: Hey, that's a silly opinion and you should be called out for it.  Not every opinion is equal.

Somini response: "Hey man, that's just his opinion!  Back off."

In which world are opinions stupid? People are different. The sooner you learn that, the better.



lol wii u isnt dying, that gt6 is not selling so well is probably because its ps3. I guess they want a racing game for the next gen console.

seriously only uk customers sadly seem to hate wii u.

If you want something crazy look at spanish Amazon. you have just Dance on place 1 and the just Dance Import from the uk on place 2.

In this world.  Isn't that the essence of argument?  If you can back up your opinion with facts and reason, then it's better than an unsupported opinion that few would agree with.  That doesn't mean it's 100% right or wrong, but it sure looks more convincing.

If I say, "Super Mario 3D World if better than Knack.  For example, it has a 94 on Metacritic, indicating universal praise, and Knack has a 55, indicating mixed to poor reviews.  This is based on not one critic, but of collection of scores.  Oh, and it's user score is 9.0 versus 6.5 for Knack, so it's not just critics who agree it's better."

And you say, "No, Knack is better cause I say so."

Which opinion is better?  Do you really think all opinions are equal?



A lot of people jumping to conclusions. Just like they did with gt5. And once again will be proven wrong. This game came out in Fridays, next weeks numbers should be a better indication. And its 1 and 12(?) In japan.

My God you know nothing about tastes and opinions. I never said i like Knack better, i never even implied it! One could like Knack more and that would his/her opinion and there is nothing wrong about that. A lot of people like and buy iPhones. A lot of android smartphones are technically better, but that doesn't make them better or worse.

It's ignorant to try and legitimize an opinion over another simply because more people were to agree with it. Using your logic, the WiiU is bought by people who have a bad taste in gaming, as more people go for a PS4 or an Xbox One.
