So what exactly does owning the IP mean in this case? Do they get to release it on other platforms?

once they went multiplat they no longer had that effect, so people were free to say the truth about their games.
That said, SO actually looks kinda cool, amd I dislike cartoony art, but it looks cool renough to overcome that maybe. |
So obvious you're mad over them going to Microsoft to be exclusive. Either that or you never played the Resistance series but it's one of the best FPS triliogies.

Insomniac has suggested in interviews that no publishers other than Microsoft believed in their idea for Sunset Overdrive and were willing to give them creative control and ownership of the IP. |
Unfortunately, I can't see this being a big seller, especially if it releases in the fall. It will be swallowed up by Destiny and COD.

I wouldn't stay with a bad partner for 10 years when there are better partners available. I do believe what someone said about they selling low iin the last outputs made sony not keen on financing a new IP and them they had to look after MS. Would you stay with a partner for 10y and them complain how bad he was?

They have the option to release sequels to SO on multiple platforms if they choose. Not the first game though since Microsoft is funding it's development and marketing. They also suggested in an interview today that the reason they wanted ownership of the IP is because they don't like the idea of a publisher giving the IP over to another developer when they feel like moving on to something else, they don't want to have no say over the future of their IP. |
Since we don't have the contract it is just conjectures. And I don't remember sony taking any IP that were being developed by Insominiac and making other dev make it...
Probably the biggest reason is trying new IP and since they had a stellar flop in the last try Sony didn't want to foot the bill. Even the last R&C was badly received.

It really depends on reviews I think, if Insomniac returns to their old 80+ metacritic self I'm guessing 2-3 million lifetime. It looks at least as good as the first Crackdown and the first Crackdown sold 2+ million on 360 even though Microsoft didn't market it much (they mainly relied on Halo 3 beta access to sell the game). I suspect a pretty big marketing campaign for Sunset. |
Titanfall will be one of the few X1 games launched this first half of the year to hit 3 million, I doubt Sunset Overdrive have any chance of that.

That's generally what owning the IP means. But they might have a contract with MS to keep that series exclusive to Xbox One for future releases like Gears of War.
Alan Wake is owned by Remedy but they had to get permission from MS to make a PC port. MS wasn't involved in that port, they didn't even publish it.

I don't know why gamers make such a big deal about the business decisions that developers, publishers, and console vendors make.
If you have an Xbox One you can feel good that you will get to play the game. If you don't that was a choice you made. Developers and publishers that own the rights to IPs decide where to publish the IP. Whether that was money-hat-ed or just plain a choice they made it is up to them.
I just wish gamers would judge the game's gameplay rather that what console it ships on.
You are butthurt.
Are people deliberately not reading the OP and just trying to guess from the title?
The biting part isn't about releasing exclusive game on MS is about bad mouthing Sony that was the previous partner... I know most people lack reading skills, but jizz it wasn't even a long OP for all this lazyness.
