Forums - Sales Discussion - The Race to 1 Million: Sunset Overdrive vs. Bayonetta 2 vs. The Order: 1886

Possibly TO, SO and then Bayo 2.

Honestly I'm finding the paring really odd with one being a hack n' slash, one a TP shooter and the other a TP movie shooter.

Also was it really neccisary to set up SO and Bayo as non deserved or the right to not exist?, it sounds that way with the way it was written in the OP while making TO as a game that could do no wrong and it being the only gaming darling...

Honestly all 3 should reach 1m I don't see why they need to compete with one another.

The Order easily...Even just because it's install base is soooo much larger...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Pretty sure the Order will be the 1st to hit a mil. It`s a game that`s getting a lot of attention, looks very impressive visually, and is on the leading platform. Sunset would be 2nd, as its base is not as big as the PS4, but still doing good. The game doesn`t feel as strong as the Order does either. However, with the Wii U`s base and Bayo being niche, it`ll be lucky to hit a mil at this rate.

the order. it's basically a numbers game. If only 5% of the PS4 user base buys the game it crosses 1M.

What I really wonder though, is how much better/worse would sunset overdrive have sold if insomniac remained Sony exclusive?

Didn't take long for that to come into the thread.

the best game, which is Bayonetta 2, will sell less than the crap game, which is The order 1886... that's the sad state of gaming. Really sad.

50 Shades of Grey > Kingsman+Birdman+Whiplash+The Theory of Everything.

It's not just gaming that has such sad states.

Also 65 metascore =/= crap. Also I've played the game and it isn't crap. Also I hope you've played it.

Where the heck do you get that from? You might want to actually read the OP a bit more carefully.

My comment about Bayonetta 2 "Surely it deserves 5 million in sales let alone 1 million."

My comment about Sunset Overdrive: "Insomniac wanted to spread its creative wings, and Microsoft was there happy to give Insomniac a deserved chance at making a fun new franchise that does not involve a large eared Lombax and sidekick robot"

My comment on The Order: "coming off the back of a series of critical underperformers from the first party studios at Sony, it was hoped The Order could get a more universally positive critical and fan reaction. No such luck."

You seem to be reading things with the intent to inject bias where there is none.

Also to those wondering why these games have been set against each other, it is because all of them have been surrounded in controversy for one reason or another. And that controversy can be fueled or dampened depending on how the game sell. The causes of the controversy are different, but these games have been controversial in a way few games have been this generation. (well aside from SFV and RTR, which are still a long way from releasing).

I can't believe SO has not sold 1m yet, the game has its flaws but it is quite entertaining, so is bayo2 but it being on the Wii U and all... those sales were expected.About TO, well its an AAA game on the PS4, its gonna sell a ton no matter what.

The Order will be the first sadly, I believe SO will make it before Bayo2.

Sadly? If it sells a million first it's because it deserves it. Most of Sony's games have delivered sales wise. Week one sales should be interesting. 650-700K would be amazing.
