Insomniac Games Has Made Just $567 off Sunset Overdrive

So yeah, article above, but to summarize a bit, Sunset Overdrive didn't make a ton of money for Insomniac games back when it released in 2014 for the Xbox One. It later released on the PC in 2018 and wasn't it supposed to come to PlayStation at some point? 

Anyway, their budget for the game was $42.6M, and they only made in net sales $49.7, selling 1.9M units. Which isn't a whole lot considering the original budget. What's worse is their share in the profit, since this was an exclusive to Xbox at the time, it looks like Xbox got most of the profits, as Insomniac only received $567. Which is crazy to me. How does a studio not be paid majority of the pie? 

This news came out of the recent Insomniac Games/Sony leak that happened. 

I'm going to guess we're never going to see a sequel to Sunset Overdrive after this bit of news.
