I would be very surprised if Microsoft didn't have a clause in their contract that stops Insomniac getting other console manufacturers from publishing the game as well. Otherwise they would just go to Sony and get a PS4 version as well... |
Agreed. This wasn't just a timed exclusive deal. Microsoft actively and quite aggressively marketed Sunset Overdrive for Insomniac by giving it its own exclusive bundle with a white Xbox One(which currently cannot be purchased without the game itself) along with prominent advertising. I'm willing to bet it was an agreement akin to Titanfall where the actual game itself remains on Microsoft platforms but the IP itself is retained by the developer(they would be free to make sequels and spin offs on whatever platform they desire). I really doubt MS(or Sony/Nintendo) would enter an agreement where they fiercely promote an exclusive title only to have it ported to other platforms 6 months or a year later. Probably why we have not seen Titanfal/Ryse/Dead Rising on PS4(although I personally don't want to see Ryse on PS4 :P)
