vgdunkey alone sold half of all those copies.
Didn't this game have a glitch on the PS Store, where it was free to download and play for a while, right at launch? I imagine that would have sorely hurt sales too :(
No, they likely fixed it quickly and they can take it away from people who got it free.
Wow, that's pretty surprising. This has happened before but I still don't think they gave a significant amount of copies from that.
Did sony actually thought that the first game sold so well because people liked it?
I know many people who liked it. I like it as well, it’s a challenging game you can play with the whole family. There aren’t many games like this. Children love it.
Just check Amazon ratings. Most people liked the game.
What a surprise! The sequel NOBODY asked for totally bombs.
CAN'T WAIT FOR KNACK 3 BAYBEEEE!!!!
Clearly forgot 3 zero's at the end. Nice try
Expecting this series to be free on PS Plus soon lol
Haha lol
This is fine, but not Medievil.
New MediEvil would be great. :-)
Could sell better over time... it could happen...
Just seems odd how sequel-obsessed we've become that just about anything can get one now. Heck, they're actually bringing back Bubsy! It's ok to just move on from a franchise and try something new.
Kindof sad considering the first sold significantly better, despite its poor critical reception. This one, while by no means an amazing game, was still a huge improvement over the first and far from a bad game. Linear platformers just aren’t what sells these days.
Launch games also tend to sell better through lack of competition.
It was also heavily bundled not leaving much of a choice at launch.
I agree this genre doesn't necessarily sell well, but this also didn't review well. There was no hype and little demand for a sequel.
Set to break all records.
Talking about the people that bought X1 in Japan last week?
