It did. After 6 weeks and fastest selling game ever. BIU has no official award category for this, but there was a press release mentioning it. Same for Fifa 12,13 in the years before.

Do you like the way he looks? Sly Cooper is a well designed character, Knack is not.

Be interesting to see how the first mulitplats sell on each platform. Starting with Tomb Raider in a couple weeks. Though not getting the splits is really going to ruin all the fun.
What do you mean by the first? Sure it will sell like all the other multiplats on the chart Ps4>xone.
You can already see how they are selling no.
Ghosts, Fifa, Ass Creed, Need for Speed...

Give it some time - 600k PS4 owners can't match spending power of milions

Sorry I meant first mulitplat after launch. And when they are both released at the same time (unlike launch which wasn't aligned).
It'll be interesting to see if it's close or one sells a lot more than the other. It's like the next test after launch.

It's going to be an interesting year, for sure. When is the PS Vita coming to Europe again?
It seems the PS4 multiplat sales at least is still flip flopping depending on stock, not that it'll have a direct impact on the initial sales, but doesn't tell the whole story either.
Uncharted: GA re-entered the Vita specific charts at number 4, so at least one Vita was sold last week, maybe as many as 4 or 5. So there.
Plucky new IP knocks tired old annual franchise flat on its ass. It's a feel good story for gamers of all ages.

Conspiracy!!!!
We already have a very good idea of how they'll sell...
They know deep down that it's really a sale of a console that's making that game sell. People aren't picking up that title off a shelf and buying it, they are opening a larger box with a ps4 in it and trading that junk straight back in.
KACK is not selling on its own....

We're so getting knack sequel. Yay
Although that was true for my brother, he actually loved and finished Knack and wants a sequel.
He only finished GTAV on his PS3 due to his FIFA addicition, so I was quite shocked when he shoved a photo of the credits up on FB. Really glad I bought him that pack instead of KZ.

Why don't they simply buy the standard PS4 edition instead of paying 35 quid more for the bundle if they didn't want it?

Finding a non-bundled PS4 is difficult. Some peoples only options are bundles. I got lumbered with Killzone.

I believe this too since I never seen a KACK before
The Knack supporters are all trolls (myself included)

Clearly if they don't count the total worldwide sales for both games. Let's just say it needed the bundle otherwise it would be another just another Tearaway or Puppeteer.
What are the total worldwide sales for both games?
Same, but I got the Knack one. Would have just bought base if I could.
I Wanna Be The Guy
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Don't you dare compare the likes of Knack to great games like Tearaway or Puppeteer. It's insulting.
Yes I know you were only talking about sales.
im dead
Having played through both SM3DW and Knack, I can officially say that where SM3DW is 10 on a scale, Knack is down at around 2.1. Actually, don't even get me started.
SM3DW isn't its own problem, Wii U is. Knack isn't its own success, PS4 is.
EDIT: I feel sorry for the incredibly great minds that worked on SM3DW. Nintendo has let them down.

I have no idea but I would guesstimate about a million for Mario 3D World and 400 - 500 000 for Knack.
Hopefully Knack keeps selling well, I would love a sequel with a bigger budget and a much longer development time, they could make it the de facto PS platformer !
. A Vita spinoff Knack would also be welcome.No shit? People are just having fun with the numbers.

Knack:
US: >100k (Nov)
JP: NA
UK: >3D world
Mario:
US: 250k (?) (Nov)
UK: < Knack
JP: 439k (LTD)
Knack is being bundled with all PS4's in Japan for a limited period I think.
