I think it depends a lot on reviews for Sunset Overdrive, Insomniac's last 3 games have been underwhelming. However the white bundle should help its sales a lot.

I think Bayonetta 2 might sell more.

Bayo 2 will have a bigger start, SO will have better legs.

Depends if SO is greeted well by reviewers I think the word of mouth and the positive news will convince people to buy it. I for one are waiting for the reviews so hopefully its good!!!

If it wasnt for CoD, MCC, WoD, and GTA5 coming out in consecutive weeks after Sunset Overdrive launches I would have bought it day 1. Instead it will have to be a jan-feb buy.

Same, but Black Friday for me. Theres bound to be some good deals.

Are we are talking about US launch I feel as though there are not enough Wii U's in households to outsell Sunset Overdrive but who knows, I know a lot of my Xbox friends are holding out on Sunset Overdrive and are just going to get it at a later date because of Destiny and COD AW right around the corner.

I wouldn't call Bayonetta 2 a "money-hat", given that it wouldn't even exist without Nintendo's backing. I don't know the word on Sunset, however.

In regards to the topic, I expect Sunset Overdrive to win this one, even if by a hair.


It could very well have existed if Sega had manned up and taken responsibility for its publishing as they did with the first one. If that wasn't an option it could have been kickstarted because the fanbase is loyal. 

So don't tell me it wouldn't have existed without Nintendo. It got money hatted, end of story. 

You don't really know that. Sega canned a ton of projects back in 2012 during their restructuring, and Bayonetta 2 was one of them. They decided to only focus on Sonic, Aliens, Total War, and Football Manager for now because those are the products that can generate a decent profit for them. They're not exactly on top of the world right now if they abandoned pretty much all of their other projects.

Also, good luck trying to get a game with a $15-20 million budget crowdfunded.
