So, Knack is the best selling game in Japan for the week ending 22nd February, and will likely have topped 1 million sales by now as it needs less than 90,000 sales to do so. By far the best selling PS4 game in Japan, by an order of magnitude, (which is scary when you think about it), it seems it's average review scores in the west didn't scare people off.

What do people make of this? Is the media too hasty about Knack, is it maybe just a taste issue, a style of game that western critics weren't expecting? I've yet to play it outside of a 10 minute demo at a game store and it actually had a decent nostalgia feel to it, kinda felt like the old Crash Bandicoot games, but I've no idea if it's good as a whole. Still, with these sales figures this means 1 in 6 people who bought a PS4 own Knack, making it the 6th best selling game on the system after Call Of Duty: Ghosts, FIFA 14, Battlefield 4, Killzone: Shadowfall, and Assassin's Creed 4. Could this jump in sales stear Sony in an unexpected direction, and do people expect Knack to get a sequel?

Just wondered peoples thoughts on the subject.

What I think is, I wouldn't have never ever played Kameo: Element of Powers if it hadn't been bundled with my 360. :P

Wasn't it basically sold for free and therefore those 300+K sales were useless in the software regard?

Kanck is a game made for the japanese market. They prefer Knack over KZ. That I'm certain ~

Lets not get ahead of our selves here... The only reason Knack sold so well in Japan was cause it was free... I am waiting to see how many people buy it when they actually have to buy the game so lets wait a little while longer before we prai.... oh wait, people are already doing that for whatever reason... I mean, lets wait a little longer to see how much it sells when the limited time offer is done

I think it will be a million seller but defiantly not cause it was good game, its below average to me but I did play it at my friends house so who knows, maybe Knack drugs everyone half way through the game and make people believe it was a good game but I guess I wasn't drugged by that time so it didn't work out for me

Is a joke thread?

Knack is going to be HUGE!

Most of the sales were from the bundle...

The first edition PS4 bundle in Japan was actually Knack with a bonus PS4.

There are one too many serious posters in here.
