It sell well just because it was bundled in would be lucky to have 100k without bundle

I wasn't aware it had been bundled... fair enough, that may explain the game having rather inflated numbers then, though I'm presuming there where multiple bundles available, as there was here. Even still, I'm willing to give the game more of a chance as all the complaints I've heard; such as the ease of death, repetitive action/platformer levels, etc. are things I actually enjoy depending on mood. After all people have said for a while they want a return to the deceptive difficulty know as "NES difficulty" and this seems like it could be that. Going into it expecting that, may make it far more enjoyable.

I don't think you understand... It was literily FREE with EVERY purchase of the ps4...

It was bundled with every single PS4. People aren't going out of their way to buy it there.

It would have sold better than Killzone in japan, bundle or not. I want Knack 2 :P

Like I said, and you just assume that the Japanese needs to have the same taste as the western boys. Knack is by far a most appeling game to them. Like KZ is the most appealing game upon release for you.

1st point -> Japanese buys a 'made in japan' game over a west game any time. Even if it is lower quality.
2nd -> They can't had enough of platformers and 'cuties' like Knack is advertised
3rd -> You can see everyday games being sold pretty good in japan and they don't even bother to make a western release !

IThat's one way of seeing at things. The way I look at it, I say that costumers were litteraly FORCED to get a copy of Knack with every PS4 purchase. If you did NOT want Knack, you had to pay extra by buying it from resellers.

You could beg all you want to the store for wanting to get out of there with a PS4 but w/o being encumbered with a copy of Knack but the stores would'nt let you, oh no, no deal! You had to free them from these cumbersome copies otherwise they keep the PS4.

Seeing how the first edition bundles of PS4 Knack are pretty much sold out, that means Knack has achieved a historic 100% sell-through rate in Japan.

Available stock of normal edition PS4 (without Knack) indicates that people were, indeed, buying Knack.

What people with the "bundle" argument forget is that Knack was not bundled with the PS4. The PS4 was bundled with Knack, which if we're honest was the only reason to get a PS4 in the first place. So speak after me:

"Thanks Knack for making the PS4 a success in Japan!"

Expect Knack sales to drop like a  big rock now that the Knack bundles are officially  dead.
