US data up on the front page.

Sunset only 138K. With the white bundle. Just poor numbers, MS cannot be satisfied with that.
Worse than Driveclub, and a fraction of Infamous (a comparable exclusive released when PS4 had even lower install base).

It is true that it was just a niche game that would have sold much better on PS4, I think we can rule out a sequel, or at least an exclusive sequel.

I wouldn't jump the gun, here. inFAMOUS was an established franchise. DRIVECLUB is on a machine with many more users and is a different type of game. It may have sold better on the PS4, but we'll never know. The first week can't be a hint that there will be no sequel, especially when it will have the holidays to cushion sales.

I used Driveclub as a recent refernce, but Infamous sold 3 times as much, on about 30% less consoles. And it was a franchise that never sold very well in the first place...

I think calling these Sunset numbers anything else but a failure would be too generous. Especially considering it only sold about 35K first week in the UK, and the rest of the markets are insignificant. It will be a stretch to believe it can reach a million...

Infamous look a lot more amazing you're expectation of sunset is too high
