I fully expected a low attachment rate, seeing as the launch line-up isn't particularly Japanese orientated, but who the hell buys a console and not ONE game? xD

I suppose people moving over to digital can account for some of it, but that's still amusing.

No. They get Knack for free. I got a Killzone bundle and neither did I buy any more game at launch.

It looks it won't sell even 300K in 2 days...

Us see that number alot around here the past couple of days. What is this based upon ? Retailers report strong sales but people believe it will do wii u numbers ? A console that wasn't hyped at all

Could just be that sony supplied a shitload of ps4 consoles for their home country

If you get a PS4 without Knack, Andrew House will come to your house and install it personally onto your PS4.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
