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.


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.

It should be at 700K easily by 1 January. remember we still have 2 shopping weeks of December yet to be reported in VGC. And the biggest shopping week of the year is one of those not yet reported weeks. A slow and steady level of sales over the course next year should see it past 1 million. Even a 10K per week trickle will see it past 1 million before the next holidays.

Not impossible, I'm probably just being overly skeptical :P I hope it does sell 1 million cause its a new IP and not a military shooter like most games now :P
