Could knack become bigger then mario?

It's been outselling super mario 3d world for 2 weeks straight in the UK

Is this a sign of a future? will knack become the next mario?

...

:D

..... well it might sell more than 3d world, which is a crime against gaming... and a sign of all those console casuals that drool over these devices with no games that they have to or just buy knack out of ignorance of its suckyness. but what can you do?

I honestly think nintendo should go handheld 1st party only, and 3rd party on other systems... I really do, they are letting their franchises down with their horrible hardware and marketing.

a real shame. I would buy Super Mario 3d World on my PC over any game on the other 2 craptastic consoles currently....

Is this really even a question...Heck, NSMB is still selling on the WIi. I think people care too much about the fact that Knack outsold Mario in the UK.

Quite possibly. Knack is selling well and even beating the latest Mario game.

No. Dear God, no.

He's well on his way. Outselling the latest Mario game was a big step.

What about a Ryse? I mean we did just find out the other day that Ryse is pretty much Knack for grown ups.

Mario is bigger than MICKEY FCKNG MOUSE. No chance, sorry.

Sure !

Like Kabuki warriors took over from Streetfighter remember ?

yes

The reason its selling is because there aren't many games available. That number of games is even less when you're trying to buy age appropriate games for people.

LOL reaching

Lol no. Knack could sell 100 million units and it still wouldn't be bigger than Mario. Mario is synonymous with gaming. Knack is synonymous with flopping.

never in a million years. Not even close. IMHO Nintendo should get out of the console business and just focus on making games. The new Mario seems to be a brilliant game but few will play it cause almost no one wants a Wii-U.

Knack will be easily forgotten. Its not going anywhere.

Zero chance.

People who buy a WiiU (All ten of them) in the years to come will buy Mario. People who buy a PS4 years to come will look at Knack in the £5.00 pre owned section and drop in in horror.

oh you were being serious?....lol.

I played a demo of Knack and it was fun but the environments look last gen.

4/10

If a halfway competent hack n slash like God of War never became bigger than Mario, what chance does a bad Hack n Slash have?

Knack will stop selling after it's first month; but if past Mario games is an indication, 3D World will still be sold at full price in 2023.

This thread is gold.

Erm, Knack is not a HnS, it's a beat'em up, totally different.

lol i am a sony supporter but LMFAO!!! Mario will always be Mario. It's Mario!!!

There is no chance of Knack beating super Mario 3d world in LTD worldwide.

I remember when Red Steel sold a bunch of copies in 2006.

this just made my day.

I hope in the near future there's a Game released for the Wii U that beats mario. That'd be quite a victory.

Blue, this is what I'm talking about.

Cancer. I'm going to die of it reading threads and thread titles like this.

4/ 10.

IGN gave it like a 5.5, and they tend to overrated things a lot.

That should say something.

Knack already is bigger than Mario.

And yes, I am being facetious.

Agreed. The future is indeed bleak, if it is the case.

I wonder how Mario and Knack are doing in the rest of the world. We only keep hearing about how its doing in the UK...

@R4gn4r0k: Probably because the sales in other regions are mediocre at best.

Than*

Nope joke thread?

So is the nintendo fan base

Strange that their revenue is down over 6 billion

I'd say no. It will surpass Mario. That actually seems like a silly question. Knack is at best a decent platformer compared to Mario. It may end up selling well In the long run but it will never be better than Mario.

@Sweenix: icant believe you thought something that stupid

So suddenly sales represent the quality of a game. I guess CoD is a masterpiece.

You'd have to either be a cow, or full on stupid to compare a "Meh" game to the poster boy for platformers. Mario wins in every category hands down.
