First off, "shit game" is your opinion. Secondly, Knack doesn't appeal to Japanese people? It's a platformer, developed by Studio.....JAPAN. It's very Japanese.

It helps his argument with people with more aligned taste.

I don't believe what I'm reading on here. We are now calling a console dead with just one day sales. Some of you have quite literally gone insane.

A couple of photos that could have been taken anytime or anywhere - like some small village shop in the outbacks of Japan now proves the PS4's fate. Reminds me of Iraq.

God forbid, I hope none of you have aspirations of becoming world leaders. Actually I hope you do, as long as you are not from the UK... or Western Europe.

3DS and Monster Hunter in general would like to have a word with you.

Technically, the 3DS isn't doing so hot there, anymore.  Don't get me wrong, it is doing pretty well.  It's just that the struggling consoles around it are what makes it look better than it truly is.

@ OP

The only thing I got from this article is that the places around him are very qiuet during launches.  He said it seems almost exactly like when the Wii U launched, but that did 400K, which is very good.  He says the difference is that he has actually seen people leaving stores with PS4s.  So, I guess it's going a little better for the PS4 than the Wii U, which means my prediction of 401K may come true. 

wii u launched in japan with 306k units.

Oh, you're right.  I was thinking of the original Wii.  My bad.

I think Knack was kind of panned critically when taking it's hefty price tag into consideration. It's not worth €60-70 at all. Which probably leaves people disheartened. I'm sure if you were able to pick the game up initially for somewhere around €20-30 it would be much more positively received.

It's not a bundle, Knack was given for free to all Ps4 buyers in Japan I believe as an apology for launching in the west first.

Just gonna say if the PS4 can't get the Japanese away from their 3DS/Vita/PSP's Microsoft will be in no rush to every grace them with the X1, would literally not be worth translating the OS into Jap, nevermind localizing anything else.

Really? Well no wonder its still in stock... You don't give people an epic console with a shit game even if it is free... They should have rather gave them KZ or Yukuza or Something that the Japanese love... Not something that not only doesn't appeal to Japanese people, but something that doesn't appeal to anyone unless they love cutting themselves with a toothpick

Its basically like saying Sorry, here is the world's shittest game for you to play to show how little we care

You link a metacritic of 54% as tho that means the game has no value? It is a free game for their new systems, I would happily take a middle of the road game for free with any system on Day1, if someone buys the console with a game they really want this is just a lovely freebie to take a break from their game of choice and try something different, For free!.

http://www.examiner.com/article/ps4-won-t-launch-until-2014-for-japan-gets-free-knack-as-compensation

"As compensation for the delayed release, Sony is offering Japanese consumers the First Limited Pack which comes with a free download of Knack, the platformer from Mark Cerny and Sony Japan, plus a one-year extended guarantee on the console."

Free extra year of cover for their new system and a cool enough game to enjoy no one there would be buying the system because of this extra offer it was included by Sony just as an apology that they had to await the Greatness just a little bit extra.
