Knack has been outselling Mario since forever, what's up with that? I mean Knack is a nobody made-out of whatever particles, and Mario is a legend, and yet he's been destroying Mario sale number.

Knack was a pretty fun game. Some of the boss fights were awesome :)
The same thing could be said about Ryse, which got the same score. lol!!
Still don't see any proof in this thread. I'm wondering how Knack is doing worldwide against Mario 3D World. Not so good I'm sure.
they dont hate mario, they hate wasting £250 on a machine so oudated. its a shame mario isn't third party.
If mario is was available on ps4, I bet you it will be a different story

Nintendo were never really all that dominant in the UK to begin with. Back in the 8-bit and 16-bit days, Sega dominated here. And then Sony dominated in the 32/64-bit and 128-bit days. The Wii was the first and only Nintendo console to ever dominate the UK market. And now that the Wii fad is over, things have gone back to the way they were before for Nintendo.
However, handhelds are the exception. Nintendo has always dominated the handheld gaming market all over the world.

Whats so funny? that nintendo's patheticness with hardware is preventing the majority of gamers from experiencing mario now?.... yea. I find it quite funny myself.
Proof? Any links?
Here's a link.
Also it's a combination of things as to why it's selling well over Mario 3D World. For starters, the PS brand is much stronger in Europe than Nintendo's brand, the marketing is much more competent and Knack is a launch game on a system dry of any good exclusives right now.
It's a combination of the UK never giving a shit about Nintendo outside of the Wii and Knack being bundled
Nintendo in the UK.......... Not even once.
360 completely dominated PS3 here last gen. Lel. It's safe to say, as a whole, the UK have terrible taste in gaming. Actually so does the US. The rest of Europe and the Japanese know what's up though...

Its probably solely to make you rant about it on an internet forum, TC.

It's funny because this false assumption of how "Nintendo is better off multiplatform" is still lying around. I don't think I need to repeat on why that's a crock.
It's not Mario - UK doesn't care about Nintendo.

Nintendo doesn't have a single Wii U game in the Top 40. It was like this last month too, in the thick of the Holidays.
They can't play Mario when they don't care about the flop console it comes on. What's worse is
Just Dance Wii
outsells every Wii U game, and Pokemon continues to sell. So now Nintendo is confused - the only sales they are getting are for casual and kiddie games, but the Wii U has lots of casual and kiddie games and they're flopping.
Nintendo am confused!
And super mario 3d world has an attach rate of more than 20% right now and maybe over 35%.It probably already sold more than 1.5 million.

That's how I feel.

I don't care about nintendo's benefit ... neither does anyone else, but they stunt their own sales. now that the wii fad is over and they don't profit as much from hardware (if at all) they now need to rely on software sales. so you tell me why mario being on PC/PS4/X1/Wii U would not get the company alot of money hmmm?
the 2 GAME stores here in Bristol ..... they don't have Wii-U's out or the games on display at the moment. only used. and 3DS.
instead of New super Mario 3D World selling 10m+ its struggled its million.... sad for nintendo, sad for gamers.
Knack>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mario.
9.0>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4.0
93 MC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 54
Websites opinions..............lol look at the sales......gamers love Knack.
Only in UK
The rest of the world doesn't really care about Knack,no wonder it's one of the top traded game

(I guess I do have to repeat something) Much of the audience found on other systems is FAR from the same as found on Nintendo systems (this comes from someone who's playing XBOX 360 games too, mind you). Mario 3D World would sell even less on other systems. Besides, aren't Sony fans trying lambast Nintendo for re-using Mario?
Nintendo would have to go against more powerful opponents in this area. What chance do they have against Rockstar, Bethesda, Activision, Capcom, Ubisoft, Square Enix, EA, etc?
Damn sure I'm forgetting something, but I'll leave it at that.

Baseless assumptions.
Absolutely baseless.

Baseless? Have you not seen the top sellers on each system? Have you not seen some of those third party games sales numbers compared to Nintendo's games? Pokemon X and Y may have sold in the millions, but GTA V still outsold it. Also compare Skyrim's hype compared to Skyward Sword and how much those games sold.
