Great news! Knack 2 will definitely boost PS4 sales in Japan!

As long as it's bundled with the PS4!

I highly doubt Sony wouldn't bundle Knack 2 with the PS4 after seeing how Knack sved the PS4 fro msaving a dommed launch in Japan!

Can't argue with that!

Dat knack doe.

(But seriously i think it's a but of a stretch to assume he is implying Knack will become a franchise).


I agree, Knack is one of the only franchises i kno that 100% got its sales from heavy bundling + being a Launch title. Not sayig it wont sell but i dont expect it being close to a million, i be surprised if it did 800k with a 30mil+ userbase.

Edit: ZombiU is probably the second best game to benefit this generation for the same reasons as Knack. ZombiU2 wouldn't get over 400k imo

Knack and Wii sports.

In conclusion, Sony should bring Kanck 2 asap if they want the PS4 to stay relevant in Japan!

It must be Crash
-Crash was already hinted at returning to Playstation in that PS4 ad.
-Knack is built upon the same premise of Crash type platforming games. Where there is an element of combat as well as platforming adventure.
-Activision says they own it still....they could be lying. Even if they aren't it would not be the first time Activision has leased out one of their IPs to Sony to build upon how they choose. See Call of Duty Black Ops:Declassified.
-Crash was not just any old Platformer. It one one of the higher selling ones of the time period. I believe the series peaked at like 8million sold or something. The nostalgia alone could make the series flourish in this climate.


Why in the world would they claim to own an IP that they don't actually own? Activision isn't some evil company that makes false claims just to piss people off! And Black Ops declassified was published by Activision, and developed by another third party dev (kinda like Titanfall). Sony did not develop Declassified.

Was this an error or is it a joke that I don't understand?

I have to agree and disagree regarding wii sports.

 Wii sports only got 80mil+ due to The heaviest bundling of all time, but unlike Knack if it weren't bundled at all it would of sold 30mil+ by itself. Japan had no bundling with wii sports yet it sold over 3.5mil and thats one of the best selling games of all time there

Also, I must admit, I don't understand the Japanese market at all (does any?), so could you please explain what it is about this Knack+PS4+Japan thing? It feels like im the only one that doesn't understand a joke here :'(

Well, the joke is that there were some limited edition PS4/Knack bundles in Japan at launch and the PS4 sold pretty well thanks to the Knack bundles, so that's why Knack saved the Ps4 in Japan!

I'm thinking Sir Daniel Fortesque, or Parappa maybe. I mean characters that Sony can control that isn't up to others like Activision to get permission from.


I would be up for new installments of medieval and parappa.  Never cared for crash myself, but it would be nice if sony and actvision could come to terms over the property given how important the franchise was to ps' beginnings.


That's why if Crash does come back to Sony and Naughty Dog takes the helm again....it's OVER!  That franchise with one of the most celebrated developers this and last generation equals software and hardware movement.
