I remember fanboys saying Wii U doomed and stuff like that over this. |
How exactly do you know that it's fanboys who said that? Is it because you disagree with them? Is it because they made a prediction that doensn't favour NInty? Please, do tell.

Fanboy definition=Anyone who disagrees with me, and goes against my system of choice.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

Wow shocking how poor Ryse has done in comparisson to Knack... especially as Knack was probably a very cheap project to make.
I think SM3DW is doing ok though. Would be interested to see how it's doing compared to other staple Nintendo games of the past in a same release period.

No, for me a fanboy is someone who says that, for exaple, a PS4 game is much much better then a Wii U game. And if I disagree with someone, that ok, I even like that. I love peoples opinions ;)
I don't believe the comparison was made to say that Knack would do better in lifetime sales. I believe the comparison was made to say that a game as horrible as Knack was even able to top Mario on launch week. Mario games normally sell over half a million on launch week in the US. 3D World only did 150k in the US. That's not saying anything about the quality of the game (I have it and I love it), but it's reflective of the grim situation the Wii U is in.

lmao Awww, you are trying way too hard. Ryse will end up with over double its sales and well over 1 million. Knack wont. These are LAUNCH games remember.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you've been "laughing your ass off" so oftern recently when you reply to someone? Is VGC that much of a source of entertainment for you? If so, good for you.
Also, trying too hard? This thread is filled with ps4 and wiiu fans talking about Knack and Mario, and there's an xbox fan posting on every thread how Knack's achievement is nothing to write home about. Who's trying too hard, really?
Also, you seem too certain that Knack won't sell over 1m. I believe it will by the end of 2015, thanks to bundles such as the ones in Japan. I'm willing to bet on it, if you are.

If Knack was more popular than Super Mario 3D World, you would think people would bring it up in GOTY discussions or daily videogame talk but no it is only dragged miserably into the light only when sales discussions are brought up. A mediocre pack in game is mediocre regardless of Sony's sad attempts to force it on the public out of sheer desperation for their overhyped shiny new toy. /rant
