Sunset Overdrive will be decently well-reviewed, but reeks of a commercial flop.

It's similar in ways to the Wonderful 101 in more ways than one.

A ground breaking, creative studio. Platinum games, check. Insomniac, check.
With commercial difficulty. Platinum games, check. Insomniac, check.
White-knighted on a single platform. WiiU, check. XOne, check.
Vibrant artstyle, tongue-in-cheek humor. TW101, check. Sunset Overdrive, check.
In a genre reviewers/gamers increasingly don't appreciate much (action/platformer). TW101, check. Sunset Overdrive, check.

No way, SO actually has massive hype behind it? Have you not seen the reactions today?

Lost count of how much positive feedback I've seen. MS are advertising it as well, that negates everything you said.

One commercial on at 3 am on espn four during a fishing show and SO will have received infinitely more advertising than 101 ever got.
