Playing the Wonderful 101 demo on the WiiU was really awesome!

I was actually impressed. The Game was hard and the entire experience felt very fresh! It's a game I wouldn't mind buying soon (if I don't get it for Christmas).

But the game when it launched bombed with sales that barely went over 20,000.

But Knack a launch game for the PS4 topped over Super Mario 3D World in the UK and got 100k sales or more in the US...I have to say this is sad.

Just playing Gamestop's Demo for Knack made me want to stay away from that game for a long time. The Game just felt very uninspired and very boring. There was just no feel to it, There was no soul.

The Game just seemed like it wanted to be something else and at times it felt like I was playing a Lego game on the PS2. The World didn't look interesting and the game was overall easy.

Wonderful 101 felt New, Fresh, Vibrant, and Full of Color and Joy! A Game that feels like that's worth my money and gave me a decent enough Challenge!

Knack was just Uninspired, Soulless, Repetitive, Dull and Boring. A Game that I will probably hit when It's in bargain bins.

Yet Knack sold more than Wonderful 101.

Really a sad time we live in gamers.

Played the demo of W101 and not too sure what the hell happened all the time.

I thought it was pretty awesome. I didn't need to know what was happening because it's a demo.

Knack's Demo didn't really tell you anything, but both of the demos had Gameplay and that's what I compared them to and I have to say W-101 is the better game.

Knack sucks. It's downright criminal that it sold more than Mario 3D World. I suppose people need something to play on PS4.

Same. What a mess....had no idea what I was doing or who to hit. "Here's a great idea...clutter the screen with 100 heroes and then clutter the screen with villains."

Yes, how dare sony launch a game on time during a launch. Nintendo had a chance with W101 and they delayed it for like 8 months. A niche game on a console with a low installbase launched the week of gta and did badly? Weird

It is sad that so many people are buying Knack which is a really mediocre game. It wouldn't even stand out in 2000, surprised people are buying it at all really. Perhaps they are just desperate to get something new on that PS4 they just bought.

Blame Nintendo for releasing the shitty WiiU that nobody wants to buy not gamers or Knack. I'm sure W101 would have sold a lot if it was on PS4.

@LegatoSkyheart: i love platimuim games but this is there first game i hate. the games controls are not that great in the heat of battle. this drawing ur weapon thing is bothersome when in combat and the entire game is combat from beginning to end. tho the game that surprised me is pikmin. never played pikmin before and had very low hope for this game but daaaaaaaaaaaamn is surprised me alot. an outstanding game.

Do they?

Or could it just be that PS4 is a much more appealing system than Wii U?

Which I think is a bit sadder since all that the PS4 is running on is that it's the next console in the Playstation family. There isn't a "holy crap get this game now!" game on the system.

People are excited for the PS4 and want something to play. There isn't much out on launch, so it effectively forces a lot of sales on sub par games. W101 is on a struggling platform. It sucks, but that's the way it is. Realistically, everyone should be buying Wii U's for the current and upcoming lineup, but fear the lack of third party support and look forward to Playstation 4 exclusives coming out in the future.

You care for the game sales? Better wish for a port then.

And this will happen with lots of WiiU games,

Sales dont determine if a game actually is good.

Knack was practically shoved into every PS4 and everybody most likely didnt know it was a massive failure.

It's sad when morons play a games demo and then claim they know enough to pass judgement. I have played demo's before that were terrible yet the full game was great.

Unlike some judgemental morons I have actually played and finished Knack and it is quite a fun and decent game...that is if you aren't a butthurt fanboy.

A simplistic way of viewing things TC. W101 bombed in sales due to the Wii U, not quality.

honestly if a game isn't at the top of the AAA scene no one cares.

KNACK was never ment to be the greatest game ever, Cerny has already stated this, he made the game for people who maybe wanted to delve into console gaming coming from mobile games which was easy and fun, it also was a throwback to old school platforming games like crash bandicot, he never set out to make the game AAA, and yet the game is an enjoyable non serious action/platformer game, and it's just a fun game to play in the midst of an all out first person shooter line up, it's nice someone decided to make a game more for the family side of gamers, i'm enjoying the game and it gives me a break from all the serious games and my 2year old loves watching the game and laughing at all the goblins and all the nice bright pixar like graphics.

Would it have done better on a 360 or PS3?

Would it have done better if it was PS4 or Xbox One?

I remember plenty of people when the game was announced dismissing the project without even mentioning the fact it was on WiiU.

Knack is one of the few games available on the most sought after system on the planet, Wonderful 101 had almost no advertising and is on a system that is on pace to sell worse than the dreamcast.

It's not that gamers dont care about great games, it's that they dont want to buy a Wii U or a Vita just to play those games, it sucks but thats what happening.

I think it would've, yea. I think many of Nintendo's efforts would sell like crazy if they were in the hands of a company that knew how to handle them.

They don't think it's "better".

More people may have played Knack, but that has to do with other factors like Nintendo's unbelievably awful advertising in the last year.

I don't think it would have.

Platinum Games have sold decently on PS3 and 360 consoles, but their games mostly a hits or misses.

Knack was repetitive as can be. Reminded me of Ratchet and Clank on the PS3. Kill and collect. Kill and collect. Like some of those Lego games. Knack looked good, but the gameplay was just drab. I actually have more run playing Ryse, which is challenging at times. I've never played the Wonderful 101, so I can't say if it's good or bad at this point.
