Sunset Overdrive would probably not exist with out MS; the jury is out on Titanfall. I'll give you the other two. Does the market leader matter at all?? Nintendo had a couple of deals for the GCN, Sony for the PS3, and MS will likely have more deals for the XB1 with Tom Clancy's The Division being the next game. The market leader has little influence on who gets deals. The current state of video game quality has absolutely NOTHING to do with the 360 being at the forefront last gen. It's related to game budgets and publishers not willing to take risks anymore. Most publishers these days are "rehashing the same franchise over and over". Sony makes so many new IP for a completely different reason, and that has nothing to do with the market leader (hint; they only have one true long running since PS1 franchise that will be returning and many of their games die). Sony is a completely different can of worms, but I will tell you, people praise their new IP, but they can't seem to keep any going. |
Sunset Overdrive is a Insomniac IP. It just needed a publisher. Insomniac built a name making games for Sony, hence why EA was so easy to pick them up after they dropped exclusivity with Sony. Sony would've funded Sunset Overdrive if Insomniac would've let them have the IP but seeing that they didn't Sony was doing other things internally so it wasnt going to hurt them to let go of that game. MS really needs more games and internally they just arent cutting it so sloppy seconds isnt exactly new to them from Sony.
