Insomniac Explains Why Sunset Overdrive Is Exclusive to Xbox One

However when Microsoft announced the Xbox One we felt that what Microsoft was offering in terms of the platform feature set and Xbox Live presence was a great match for Sunset Overdrive.

For example, our multiplayer mode in the game called Chaos Squad supports eight players traversing a giant open world together to take on randomized missions. This is not a simple feature to create. Yet Microsoft’s muscle on the platform and Xbox Live fronts has been invaluable in helping us create a unique multiplayer experience. Furthermore the overall partnership has been seamless, and we’ve been extremely happy with the level of support and commitment we’ve received for Sunset Overdrive.

Translation:

Here's a flimsy reason that doesn't stand up to scruitiny followed by a longwinded version of "they gave us lots of money".

People need to vote with their wallet on this one, I doubt Microsoft will be as generous with them the second time around if it doesn't sell well enough, even more so if they don't intend to make a second and try to run with an entirely new idea again.

IMHO, Insomniac should have moved to WiiU
