The funny thing is, the knack bundle doesn't count now, but Wii sports is another story XD


People bought Wii because of WiiSports

People got Knack for free with their PS4s

see the difference?

I'm part of the people in the planet. I bought wii with wii sports because there wasn't other option. There should be more people like me.

Ok, so now I'm completely lost. How do Famitsu know the numbers of sold PS4 games? You first answered by telling me they know because of Knack sales but when I asked how they know Knack sales, you said they don't need to because it's sold with every PS4?!


Yes o.o

 

are you really confused? Knack is the PS4 Wii Sports, understand?

Which was (ironically) not bundled with the Wii in Japan.

British gaming tastes more in line with Japanese tastes than previously realised? That'd explain the physical Senran Kagura Burst release ;P

 

(yeah, any excuse to post this boxart!)



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Only a few months after launch, Japan gets a free game. What an insulting, disrespectful slap in the face this must be to early adopters in the US and other territories.


Yes, knack is so good it's the equivalent of MS' largest game of the year and a $50 price cut and on top of that compensation for launching 3 months later than the rest of the world. Glad you've come around to the quality of the game.

I believe it was only bundled in Japan. 

Yeah it was an apology from Sony about the late launch.

Sony bundled a shitty game with my PS4 to make for a late launch :P. Thanks Obama!


You obviously haven't played Knack. It's actually pretty fun. Also you're in Japan?


Yeah Knack is better than its reviews, it does not hold a candle to Super Mario 3D World obvioulsy but I give Knack a 7/10. It is worth one playthrough atleast

Im going to assume this is revenge for the old "Wii Sports is the best selling game ever!" threads and posts.
