Black Myth: Wukong helped SONY recover all the money they lost with Concord. Even if it is $200M or $400M they already made that back

As reported by VGC, Sony specifically mentioned “a new sports title” (EA Sports FC 25 launched at the end of September) and “an action RPG title from China” (Black Myth: Wukong) for PlayStation’s sales success in the quarter.

Black Myth: Wukong, from Chinese developer Game Science, launched on August 19 and sold an eye-watering 18 million copies in just two weeks across PC and PS5, reportedly making over $700 million in revenue in the process. That’s enough to put Black Myth: Wukong up there with Grand Theft Auto 5 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as one of the fastest-selling games of all time, and is an astonishing return for a game that had a reported budget of $70 million over six years of development.

That money should be pure profit. It now has to be used to cover the black hole created by Concord.... Terrible.

How is Sony getting this money, Game Science was both lead developer and publisher. Move this to debunked.
