I think Insomniac shot themselves in the foot going multiplat. Theyve never been seen as a super talented studio, I mean theyre good and make fun games but its nothing like they were the best. They cant just say "hey this is an insomniac game" and everyone will jump aboard. If it was Naughty Dog going multiplat than the fact that it was Naughty Dog would sell the game alone.
Insomniac has always made fun games that catter to a rather small audience and this worked well when they were on Sonys side cause ppl got to know the studio and they build a following. Going multiplat (and exclusive for Ms on Sunsets Overdrive case) alianated this following they had and Ms fans arent just going to jump aboard cause its not like Insomniac is this big of a studio.
Where I want to get with this is I realy fear the company wouldve done much better if they had stayed Sony exclusive and altough Sunset Overdrive looks super fun I dont see it selling too much, if it gets anything bellw a 90 on metascore ppl will find reasons to say its not worth 60 bucks and pass on it.
