Releasing Xbox One title 'Sunset Overdrive' on the PS4 could have had some advantages, says Insomniac's game director Drew Murray. According to Murray though, Microsoft's support behind the game has been incredible.

　　Murray stated this on Twitter, after I asked him whether he thought Sunset Overdrive would have sold well, if released on the PS4.

　　Sunset Overdrive is a crazy third-person shooter developed by Ratchet & Clank developer, Insomniac Games. The studio has been mainly creating games for the Playstation since it was founded back in 1994. Insomniac is responsible for some highly acclaimed gaming series, including Spyro the Dragon, Resistance and of course, Ratchet & Clank.

Insomniac Games wanted to maintain the Sunset IP

　　While the game has received high ratings, sales haven't been what was expected. I guess the chaotic and jovial art style didn’t appeal to the masses. Since the game's release back in October of 2014, Insomniac has released several DLC packs for the game. At the moment of writing, however, the developer has no plans to release new content for the game.

Microsoft did some really well with Sunset Overdrive, but a PS4 release might have had some advantages

　　The game director continued by stating that Microsoft's user research labs are incredible, and the marketing that Microsoft did for Sunset Overdrive was NUTS (in a very good way).
