It just seems kinda weird that you're saying this after the game had such a great showing just a couple weeks ago at E3. I mean, it was nominated for 58 awards and won 30...My reason for it not selling well: There are a ton of games coming out this fall, and I just think it is going to get lost in the shuffle.
My reason for review scores: Insomniac can make great games if they want too, but when was the last time they made a great unique game? I am going with 2009s R&C: A Crack in Time, which was around five years ago.
This is my opinion, if you consider it shit, you can, but I am just voicing what I personally think is going to happen. Do I want it to happen? No I don't, I want the game to be fun, and I want game to sell well.

A plain white console would be a letdown. Needs to be themed with custom sounds when turning the console on, ejecting discs, etc.
Nktrnl teased a white one a while back...

Agreed. I want more than a white console.
Bet it won't be coming to Japan. Incredible that the white PS4 isn't coming to JP either.
MS set a standard for themed consoles last gen with the Halo and Gears consoles. Anything less for a SSO console would be a major letdown.
Properly themed console for SSO with a plain white 1tb console next year to replace Tue current 500gb is perfect.
How do you know what it will score? Have you played it?
Oh my.That wouldn't be smart in my opinion. The game is not going to sell well, and is likely to do 6-8 in review scores. They also have a ton of stock left for the orginal Xbox One with Kinect. I am not trying to be overly negative, I am trying to explain why they should/would not do it. I own an Xbox One and will pick up Sunset OverDrive, and am just being realistic.

Eh not really. Console sales are so far down in Japan that it doesn't really warrant producing more consoles that'll sit on shelves and in warehouses for a long time.
Yeah, people are seriously forgetting who Insomniac is as a developer - they haven't made anything resembling a great game in ages, or ever if Spyro isn't your cup of tea.
White console does look great though.
But again, people who have actually played it said it's a solid game. No one is forgetting who they are.
Is it impossible for a company to make a solid game after making a few sub-par ones? Especially if the former is of a completely different style/nature?
Yup, I definitely want to see a gears themed XBOThose white xbones are damn pretty.
The only thing that would get me to exchange my black one though would have to be a gears edition.
God dammit, I don't want an XBONE... But that might do it.
Not to derail the thread, but did ntkrnl say anything about a Halo MCC X1? Cause if so I'd wait for that.
BUT, if it isn't a slick white one like the Sunset Overdrive, forget it.
