	Mentore posted 19/12/2016, 03:36 Best exclusive on X1. Can't wait for the new Spider-man game by Insomniac. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 14/09/2016, 03:48 I hope we see some sort of update to take advantage of Scorpio (60 fps please) and perhaps a PC port. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 01/08/2016, 02:39 OR maybe if Sony let Insomnia keep Sunset Overdrive but Sony wanted to own the IP but instead they went to Microsoft. Message \| Report
	Dyllyo posted 29/06/2016, 05:17 @ thewastedyouth I think the REAL problem was that Insomniac even made a deal with Microsoft in the first place. They should have stuck with Sony. That's where there fanbase has always been. Message \| Report
	thewastedyouth posted 08/06/2016, 11:49 this is an amazing game and it is so sad that most of the people who would have bought this game back in the 360 migrated to the PS4 because of Microsoft idiotic ideas back in 2013 Message \| Report
	sales2099 posted 23/04/2016, 09:42 It broke 1 million, which many thought it wouldn't do. Xbox One just doesn't have the numbers of the PS4userbase, but we still seem to support these exclusives enough to break the milestones over time. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 20/04/2016, 01:37 @Skeetys this isn't a failure, not even close. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 19/04/2016, 06:21 @Skeetys - I'm sure you hope SFV has the same clause. We really don't know if this game made a profit. Also, MS funded this game which is why its their exclusive. You seem to think Insomniac went with MS for no apparent reason. Message \| Report
	H3ADShOt3 posted 15/04/2016, 09:34 @Skeetys .... You really think they didn't make a profit for this game? The sales for this game are pretty good. I'm impressed considering how short the story was that it still managed to sell over a million. Congrats Insomniac! Message \| Report
	GodOfPeace3 posted 15/04/2016, 08:57 I hope there was a clause in this exclusive contract that said if the game sells under 1.5 million copies in 1 year that they will release it to everything else like Wii U/NX PS3, PS4, PS Vita, 3DS. So at least they can make some money. Message \| Report
	GodOfPeace3 posted 15/04/2016, 08:55 WOW, what a failure. I am sad that Xbox owners don't appreciate single player games. Even if this does have multiplayer arena mode. I wish MS gamers didn't expect everything to be MP focused or else they won't even try it. It's sad. Especially with good games like Scalebound coming. I hope it can break 300k sales worldwide.

	darkenergy posted 05/02/2016, 02:31 @Poliwrathlord 1 million physical sales is actually enough and that's without digital included. In fact these kinds of games from Insomniac don't really do 3 million in sales so this game on Xbox One did well for a game made by them. Message \| Report

	Poliwrathlord posted 26/11/2015, 06:33 I finally got around to playing this game and honestly Insomniac hit it out of the park. This is a great game and I hope to god there is a sequel coming, though I doubt it with these sales... Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 12/08/2015, 07:23 Recently just played through this game. Frankly, its a blast and probably one of the most refreshing gaming experiences I've had in a long time. I hope it becomes a GwG offering in the near future because that'll give millions of people an opportunity to play it. Message \| Report
	WoodenPints posted 25/07/2015, 10:53 This is the most fun i've had in a singleplayer game in many years, Little disappointing in sales and hopefully its under tracked here. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 03/07/2015, 02:58 @darkneal - You're making presumptions. I would assume Insomniac was responsible for how Sunset Overdrive is was marketed. The advertising was just as obnoxious as the game. Anyhow, the overall sales might look more impressive with digital numbers included. Maybe it will make some profit in the long run and the X1 got a cool exclusive. Message \| Report
	darkneal posted 02/07/2015, 09:44 I love this game, but you just gotta know Microsoft will be dissapointed with its sales performance. I doubt its covered its costs, it was heavilly marketed and any new sales will be at a reduced price. Personally i blame Microsoft, for not only its ridiculously competitive release slot. That was doing the game no favours. But also the obnoxious mood of the advertising..the game is so much fun and they kinda mis-sold the irreverant humour. I hope its made a profit, its just i doubt it. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 14/06/2015, 05:50 I also feel like this game is undertracked as well. @fire no it wasn't easy for the R&C games to be at 1 million, in fact Into the Nexus never made it at 1 million and that game was released on the PS3 with an 80 million plus userbase. Message \| Report
	FloatingWaffles posted 30/05/2015, 04:34 @Ryng_Tolu I feel like it might be as well. Its been in the 0.77-0.78 range for a long time now and has barely changed. I find it hard to believe that it would just stop selling like that. Message \| Report
	Ryng posted 16/05/2015, 12:47 Imo, i think is a little undertracked. I haven't a source, is just what i think. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 29/03/2015, 02:41 With sales like this a PC port is more likely to happen. That way MS can give Windows users a notable game and boost profits. Message \| Report
	fireburn95 posted 17/03/2015, 02:02 @dark, Competition is never an excuse. They can choose to release whenever, MS chose to release in october. The SO bundle is still available in GAME here in UK, I know it continued to be on sale all throughout christmas in USA. R&C has been heavily milked for one generation, but thing with R&C it wasnt high but it was consistent, approx 1 millionish was easy for each game. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 15/03/2015, 04:50 @fireburn Insomniac's games don't sell alot just look at the Ratchet and Clank series there was no heavily backing from what I know and please people are forgetting the bundle sold out one week and Microsoft said there will be no more of it, oh did you forget about SO releasing right where games like COD,Assassin's Creed, etc were right around the corner? If there were a game that sold less with no competition just look at the Order. Message \| Report
	fireburn95 posted 08/03/2015, 11:24 @floatingwaffled, it isnt bad but certainly not good. A new, original AAA IP heavily backed by the console manufacture and heavily marketed with very little competition and even a limited edition bundle, and 760k after 12ish weeks Message \| Report
	FloatingWaffles posted 05/03/2015, 01:42 @SlayerRondo You act like this is a bad debut for this game. Message \| Report
	SlayerRondo posted 28/02/2015, 01:41 The fan-base for Insomniac and insomniac style games is primarily on the PS4 which itself has outsold the Xbox One over 5 to 3. Whatever deal Insomniac had with Microsoft I hope it was worth this debut on next gen consoles. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 25/02/2015, 05:14 @fireburn95 - I would presume MS took all the risk and Insomniac still got a sum of money regardless how it does. Otherwise going exclusive wouldn't be worth the risk. Message \| Report
	fireburn95 posted 14/02/2015, 10:24 It's dangerous territory to launch a new IP exclusively on xb1 I reckon. Letalone in a new genre. SO would probably be at 2 million now if it was multiplat now, I just wonder if MS paid like the equivalent of Insomniacs would-be cut of ~1.25million lost sales. I highly doubt it. Message \| Report
	binary solo posted 05/02/2015, 12:30 At current rate of sales it will reach 1 million on VGC in about 30 weeks. That means before the end of the year and at about the 1 year anniversary mark. Can't complain about that. Message \| Report

	sales2099 posted 22/01/2015, 06:04 Let's be honest....the only reason this comment section is so active (at least more then other holiday releases) is because its an Insomniac game not on Playstation. Itll creep to 1 million this year. Good for it. Message \| Report

	darkneal posted 10/01/2015, 11:22 @Slade6alpha and @ninsect Both Watchdogs and Destiny broke 1mill first week as new ips. Which is pretty amazing for a console gen only 2 years old. @narre Well my 5 yr old nephew loved playing this, so whats your point? Its all just an opinion.(Also technically if its a SHE, then she's your niece but thats neither here no there) I happen to think this game is a classic, so much fun and deserves the praise, and the dissapointment from gamers in its lack of expected sales. Message \| Report
	narre posted 10/01/2015, 10:44 @Rafux , this game isn't great at all. The art is too childish. The jokes are lame. This game has a story but the story is stupid because there are too many childish elements in this game. They're trying to target mature and young audience at the same time, that's why they fail miserably. My nephew didn't understand why she had to grind all the time, but that didn't stop her to switch back to Super Mario U. When you play this game for the first time, you do get the feeling like "This game looks unique" and "I have never played game like this before!". But after 5-7 hours, you know this game ain't worth the money. One thing this game tells me is IGN and joystick reviews are BS. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 09/01/2015, 06:06 @rafux do you even know what kind of game this is? This isn't Gears or Uncharted so this kind of game is expected just like how the Ratchet and Clank games performed. Message \| Report

	Ninsect posted 08/01/2015, 06:41 "Most new ips broke a million in week 1 this gen." Hmm I'm not sure about that lol. Not that many games have even sold 1m+ week one on a single platform this gen. I only remember some PS4 games and of course CoD on XB1 Message \| Report
	Ninsect posted 08/01/2015, 06:40 @Jay: Nah I think it will slow down in the next two weeks a bit and perhaps reach about 770k in 2014. Good regardless, but nothing mindblowing and arguably disappointing considering the hype and advertising for it. Insomniac just can't produce a real hit anymore. Message \| Report

	Goodnightmoon posted 08/01/2015, 06:04 Seems like is going to be around 800k by the end of the year, in just 2 months, great sales for a new and strange Ip on a 11m console, I would like to play it, seems funny. Message \| Report
	Spade posted 08/01/2015, 02:13 You're kidding right? Just because something is "original" it doesn't mean it's going to light up the sales charts. And how on Earth do you consider Sunset to be a "blockbuster exclusive"? It's a pretty niche game from a developer with basically no track record on Xbox. Insomniac's games aren't exactly big hits either... What new IPs broke a million week 1 this gen? Message \| Report
	fireburn95 posted 08/01/2015, 01:34 Anyone who thinks this is a success is kidding themselves, an original ip that launched as a blockbuster exclusive, that should have benefitted from a growing popular console, and heavy marketing.

	Kresnik posted 02/01/2015, 01:03 The fact it's been sale twice already should've been your first sign about the sales reception of this game. I reckon has a chance of seeing a sequel greenlighted though. The positive critical reception probably makes up for the gap in sales. Message \| Report
	Chris Hu posted 02/01/2015, 07:00 A little over 500K in less then three month with limited bundling for a new IP is actually pretty good. Plus it should also have sold a pretty decent amount of digital copies also since it was on sale twice already. Message \| Report
	pokymon90 posted 31/12/2014, 12:30 Yes, possibly 750,000 sales (retail + Digital) on a console that just reached 10,000,000 sales is really good. Message \| Report

	MrSensical posted 22/12/2014, 09:57 To the people/person talking about LBP3 outselling this, I'm pretty sure the bundle with this game and an XBONE came with a digital copy of this game (or at least mine did anyway), and we all should know VGChartz does not count digital copies of games. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 22/12/2014, 04:41 @thedawghouseev2 Again... it's because of bundles of LBP3 that it was not in a tough position it was release near BF that it performed good there was plenty of bundles of it but there was so few of the Sunset Bundles that if Microsoft actually made more of it just in time for BF SO would have performed even better, still this performed well for a game like this and for a new IP.

	thedawghousev2 posted 21/12/2014, 08:01 @darkenergy lol littlebigplanet released the SAME day as gta, far cry 4, dragon age, and wwe 2k15 and you think sunset was in a tough position? media molecule didn't even create the game and it didn't review nearly as well as the first two. there were three ways to get a ps4, the regular plain ps4, the gta and the last of us bundle, or the lbp3 and lego bundle, people who wanted lbp3 bought that bundle. Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 21/12/2014, 07:00 Yeah... so Sunset should past a million. Maybe MS will even want a sequel. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 21/12/2014, 06:56 @thedawghousev2 you do realise that the Sunset bundles are limited right? Microsoft said they aren't making anymore after it quickly sold out in a week or so when it drop to $349 with LBP3 still getting bundled, now imagine it without getting bundled and it won't get sales you see now (if you really can call it "sales") . Also for a game created from Insomniac known for their time with Sony this game is selling well on the Xbox one. Hell it's even performing better then some of the Ratchet and clank games (another well known ip from Insomniac) that were on the ps3 on the same time frame of release. Not to mention getting release near the same time as COD and Assassin's Creed. Message \| Report
	thedawghousev2 posted 21/12/2014, 05:05 @mrpuggsly lol yes knack is a launch game, meaning there wasn't nearly as many people who owned a ps4 when it launched. the xbox one is much more established now than when the knack came out, there's also the fact that oth knack and sunset are new ip's ad knack got 4's and 5's, barely any marketing, where as sunset overdrive got 8's and 9's, and insane marketing from being on tv or radio, timesquare, etc. knack is also a game for children, and the ps4 now has many more games to choose from, whether the games be for adults or children.

	Kerotan posted 16/12/2014, 09:39 I know all that and I'm not saying you're wrong (or right). I generally go onto all the top games in the charts every few weeks and give my opinion on most of them. Obviously that opinion is going to be positive for the PS4 and less positive for the X1 most of the time. That's not going to change unless PS4 games stop outselling some of their counter parts 2:1 or whatever. You don't have to agree with me but calling me jealous or whiny (puggsy said that) is just pure childish. And Jaywood calling for a mod is the worst of it all.

	sales2099 posted 16/12/2014, 09:32 Excessive downplaying is still annoying. We hear you. You can dial it down now. You don't know how well it could have done on PS4. You just don't know. They made it Xbox exclusive because MS allowed them to keep the IP and Sony wouldn't. Also they offered the bundle and marketing assistance. There was news on that. Regardless, save judgement for the end of december. Message \| Report

Sales I'm not more Jelly than other great games like SSB or MK8 not being on PS4. You can't have them all and PS4 has it's fair share. Puggsy buddy, I'm not whining just stating my opinions like I'm perfectly entitled to. No need to get so touchy with comments like "stop the whining". You don't need to remind me why the game is on X1, don't you worry I konw. I was just saying they'd have been hoping for the sales it would have gotten on the PS4. Cus you know they gambled that the X1 would be the #1 console this gen and obviously MS believed they would. Therefore they'd be hoping it would be over a million by like it would be if it was on the PS4. If my opinions bug you so much don't reply. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 03/07/2015, 02:58 @darkneal - You're making presumptions. I would assume Insomniac was responsible for how Sunset Overdrive is was marketed. The advertising was just as obnoxious as the game. Anyhow, the overall sales might look more impressive with digital numbers included. Maybe it will make some profit in the long run and the X1 got a cool exclusive. Message \| Report
	darkneal posted 02/07/2015, 09:44 I love this game, but you just gotta know Microsoft will be dissapointed with its sales performance. I doubt its covered its costs, it was heavilly marketed and any new sales will be at a reduced price. Personally i blame Microsoft, for not only its ridiculously competitive release slot. That was doing the game no favours. But also the obnoxious mood of the advertising..the game is so much fun and they kinda mis-sold the irreverant humour. I hope its made a profit, its just i doubt it. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 14/06/2015, 05:50 I also feel like this game is undertracked as well. @fire no it wasn't easy for the R&C games to be at 1 million, in fact Into the Nexus never made it at 1 million and that game was released on the PS3 with an 80 million plus userbase. Message \| Report

	darkenergy posted 15/03/2015, 04:50 @fireburn Insomniac's games don't sell alot just look at the Ratchet and Clank series there was no heavily backing from what I know and please people are forgetting the bundle sold out one week and Microsoft said there will be no more of it, oh did you forget about SO releasing right where games like COD,Assassin's Creed, etc were right around the corner?

	Mr Puggsly posted 25/02/2015, 05:14 @fireburn95 - I would presume MS took all the risk and Insomniac still got a sum of money regardless how it does. Otherwise going exclusive wouldn't be worth the risk. Message \| Report
	fireburn95 posted 14/02/2015, 10:24 It's dangerous territory to launch a new IP exclusively on xb1 I reckon. Letalone in a new genre.

	narre posted 10/01/2015, 10:44 @Rafux , this game isn't great at all. The art is too childish. The jokes are lame. This game has a story but the story is stupid because there are too many childish elements in this game. They're trying to target mature and young audience at the same time, that's why they fail miserably. My nephew didn't understand why she had to grind all the time, but that didn't stop her to switch back to Super Mario U. When you play this game for the first time, you do get the feeling like "This game looks unique" and "I have never played game like this before!". But after 5-7 hours, you know this game ain't worth the money. One thing this game tells me is IGN and joystick reviews are BS. Message \| Report

Also for a game created from Insomniac known for their time with Sony this game is selling well on the Xbox one.

He was like wow did you see titles like FC4 and GTA 5 tripling their sales on PS4, but I was like, "sorry Bill you signed a contract saying X1 only, deal with it". Message \| Report
	Mr Puggsly posted 16/12/2014, 01:14 @Kerotan - Interesting... I didn't hear that quote from MS. Maybe you just made that up? Anyhow, we all agree it would have sold better on PS4. But its on X1 only, deal with it. Message \| Report
	Kerotan posted 15/12/2014, 11:23 @binary they were expecting PS4 sales. If this was on the PS4 only it would be easily over a million by now. Message \| Report
	binary solo posted 15/12/2014, 10:00 Almost 500K I have no idea what MS was expecting, or what Insomniac's KPI for bonus payments is, but I think both should be reasonably happy withered things are at right now. A relatively slow climb to 1 million seems assured. Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 14/09/2016, 03:48 I hope we see some sort of update to take advantage of Scorpio (60 fps please) and perhaps a PC port. Message \| Report
	darkenergy posted 01/08/2016, 02:39 OR maybe if Sony let Insomnia keep Sunset Overdrive but Sony wanted to own the IP but instead they went to Microsoft. Message \| Report
	Dyllyo posted 29/06/2016, 05:17 @ thewastedyouth I think the REAL problem was that Insomniac even made a deal with Microsoft in the first place. They should have stuck with Sony. That's where there fanbase has always been. Message \| Report
	thewastedyouth posted 08/06/2016, 11:49 this is an amazing game and it is so sad that most of the people who would have bought this game back in the 360 migrated to the PS4 because of Microsoft idiotic ideas back in 2013 Message \| Report
	sales2099 posted 23/04/2016, 09:42 It broke 1 million, which many thought it wouldn't do. Xbox One just doesn't have the numbers of the PS4userbase, but we still seem to support these exclusives enough to break the milestones over time. Message \| Report
