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.

I think 2 million is the absolute max for this game.  I'd guess more like 1 - 1.5 million.

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.

I don't see the bad mouthing. Without MS, this game wouldn't be alive. He said just that.

Read carefully and it can sound as Sony isn't a good partner so we change to MS.

About the game itself I haven't saw much from it since what I like from Insominiac is R&C.

Only one of their studios is working on SO. I'm pretty sure the other one is working on a new Ratchet.

Where did you get that? great if true, I was thinking sony would give the ip to other internal studio.

Maybe he was talking about EA

Well those comments coming out of Insomniac certainly can be read as a slap in Sony's face. But if they went to Sony with this vision and Sony was unresponsive, or demanded to own the IP, then perhaps Sony deserves a slap in the face for mistreating an independant studio that put some great exclusive games onto their last 2 consoles.

But I think this is as much a jab at EA regarding how they treated Insomniac with Fuse. I reckon Sunset overdrive is what Insomniac had in mind for EA, but EA wanted something Gears-ish and they winded up with a Fuse turd. And when EA dropped Insomniac for delivering a bomb they took the opportunity for more creative freedom and that happened to come from MS. And if MS threw some money at them to make it Xb one exclusive then Insomniac deserves it. They are a great studio and I want them to succeeded so they can bring their quirky gaming vision back to PS platforms at some point in the future.

Well maybe, more context would help... since EA have had some issues in partnership...

Or maybe at this time Sony is better partnering with Indies and MS is a better partner for studios... but he was careless with the phrase.
