If two paragraphs are too much for you, perhaps you need to look at why you have such a short attention span.

You could start with being less biased and removing your flame bait signature, which tells me all I need to know.


I can simply glance at a paragraph and know its not worth giving any thought.

My sig is fine, I still prefer 7th gen consoles at the moment. Perhaps you need to stop focusing on it.

The guy said putting a demo of a new release on a demo unit is considered hyping. Then went on to say it had a TV push and bundles. When you tell hm he is wrong with evidence he says you proved him right. The guy is clearly trolling


Once again, just a single example of how Sony pushed that game.

You went from saying Knack had no hype to downplaying the hype it did have. Like I said before, its a game many people knew about simply because Sony pushed it.

 

Sorry, I'm not going to bother reading your thoughts. I just read the first sentence.

You were clearly wrong, no need to attack me. A little maturity never hurt anyone.

So does anyone have any idea of the Wii U's installed userbase..? Had a look at the front page here and it looks to be wildly undertracked at 4.7m. There's no way that it only sold 0.8m worldwide during the Christmas shopping season, it had sold 3.9m before the shopping season started according to Nintendo.


Well its at 5million on the page so I guess they heard you :).

Still has to be undertracked. That would make it 1.1m consoles sold between the end of September (unless I'm incorrect about the time Nintendo said they had sold 3.9m..?) and Christmas Day. The price cut, the launch of Super Mario 3D World, Black Friday and the Christmas shopping period combined would have resulted in much more than 1.1m sales worldwide during that time. It has to be undertracked, surely..?

undertracked? its doing best in japan and we get weekly numbers from 3 trackers there. It was overtracked in Nov in US. Face it, it's not reaching 10mil by Dec 31

I never said it would reach 10m before the end of last year. But 1.1m sales worldwide has to be incorrect. We're talking 3 months worth of sales including Black Friday and Christmas. 1.1m..? Does anyone have any idea what the NPD figures are for October, November and December..? It should have done over a million in just the States alone during that time if you include Black Friday and Christmas sales.

I'm pretty sure when Nintendo give the sales at the next quarterly meeting that it's going to show more than 5m Wii Us sold. September 30th they sold 3.9m. Only 1.1m for the Quarter that has the busiest shopping days in the year makes absolutely no sense at all. :o/

Yes you did. No they dont. Yes... we are and BF numbers were awful for Nintendo as confirmed by Nintendo and NPD. For October they were 50k if I remember correctly and 230k for Nov. Dec isnt out yet.

You were talking about *people* being hyped. Dont try and twist it matey...You know the difference from trying to create hype and people being hyped, so dont be silly now eh.

I didnt read the rest of your post, because just like your signature, I know which camp you are sitting in, and why this dictates how you post.

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.

Remember when Knack outsold Mario 3D world in Europe? 

 

Well ... :

I remember fanboys saying Wii U doomed and stuff like that over this. 


The point is:  The mere fact that anyone would mention Knack and a 3D Mario in the same breath shows how far Nintendo has fallen.  That is all, and it is bad.
