How the heck did Sony manage to retake the console market again?

Actually insomniac is not a Microsoft second party. microsoft was merely second choice because Sony wanted the ip. Insomniac can do whatever they want with sunset overdrive. If ms wants a sequel they would have to ask them. They are still making Spider-Man for Sony and released ratchet and clank. In conclusion, Microsoft got a taste of what Sony has been used to for generations now because they got greedy and in truth it's a breath of fresh air on the ms platform.

Actually yes, Insomniac is a 2nd party partner this gen. They partnered together for a game Microsoft funded and published, called Sunset Overdrive. It's a great game, thus they have been a great partner for MS this gen. But do feel free to reply a third time reminding us that Sony could have had the game first if they didn't demand the IP, or that Insomniac still makes games for Sony. Again, none of that changes anything I said. Is it possible for you to reply on this matter with something that doesn't come off as PR for Sony? Who cares about Ratchet or SpiderMan, lol.

A lot more people than who cared about SO, I can tell you that.  And the way you talk, you would think Insomniac has had this long relationship with MS.  "Have been a great partner for MS this gen."  You mean for like a year, and then they realised their games don't sell on XBO, so are now back with Sony.  Unless you can point me to another game they are making with/for MS.
