Would have bought this game on my PS4 if it were available but doesn't look good enough to buy an X1 for. Still, would have been nice for it to be on a Sony console also but can't win them all.

Yeah, this game was definitely made for people used to insomniac games, namely on the PS4, but its Sony's fault why its not there. Regardless, whether one thinks its a system seller or not, its definitely a must buy once you find a reason to get a one. Very underrated and extremely fun game.

Made by Insomniac Games. Quite a talented company.

I agree that Sony did lose out by not getting this game. Sure it might not have sold many extra consoles but to the gamers that love Insomniac games, it did hurt not having it.

It makes me sad that such an original game was doomed to get mediocre sales. It simply didn't attract many Xbone players.

I was kind of niche game to begin with. Not many people expected it to sell all that much.


It wouldn't have been niche on PS4.

Yes, but because there are a lot of Insomniac fans on PS it might have been slightly less niche. Still it looks destined to reach 1 million in retail sales. And that currently puts it well in the top 20 games on Xb one, which is not really niche.

Last time I checked Insomniac never entertained the thought of a port. If I am proven wrong, then hopefully It happens. Same thing happened to Dead Rising.

Doubt it with Dragon Age Inquisition and Bayonetta around.

Hmmm doubt it... On here it states that Sunset has sold in the 600,000 copies range, not sure if that includes the bundled copies but if it does, I don't think it can get to the 1 million copies mark. It completely fell of the charts despite it's own bundle with an exclusive white Xbox1, heavy promotion and being thrown in with other bundles.... I cannot see it selling almost double now that the hype and promotion has ended.
