A PlayStation game doing better on PlayStation? Say it ain't so, it ain't like we haven't been saying this since the Beta was extremely populated on PS5 and I haven't had an issue with matchmaking at any time I've played.
I rarely cross paths with PC players. I crossed with one this afternoon and I reported him, as I'm sure they was using a script to get headshots.

I mean it might actually have more players then on steam but for a title they were pushing to do well via marketing it hasn't even hit the most popular releases on the PS store front. I highly doubt it will anytime soon if not at all. Especially with the store reviews averaging at a whopping 3.6 out of 5 as of this time.
I mean the marketing for the game was pretty subdued and just mainly via social media channels. Astro is where the marketing money is allocated for.
Yeah for some reason PS didnt separate the reviews from the beta, you could review it before playing the game.
Now they have changed that for future games but havent implemented it yet
Expanding to pc may give you the opportunity to be a viral hit but it also gives you the opportunity to be a viral failure.

Estimates on SteamDB range between 7.5k-13k.
Let's take the middle and say it sold 10k~
Let's say the game sold 80-90%~ on PS5 and the rest on PC.
Total sales are in the 50k-60k range for 3 days + Early Access copies. Huge roaring success folks.
Maybe the game will reach the impressive 500k milestone in the next 10 years.
That's a trade they would take every time, I feel.
I bet you the streamer rollout at launch and the huge Steam numbers that it subsequently did convinced a very large amount of players to try the game out that would of not otherwise did, especially since it is a co-op experience and social contagion is a powerful tool.
The game was being talked about everywhere.
This is besides the fact that it was even offered on PC and sold a lot but that goes without saying.
Concord had a very poor initial reception and all social metrics pointed to people not caring about the game one bit.
Will it potentially lose some sales because the word on the street and articles and folks online saw the abysmal launch? Yeah, but it was already at that stage from the second the game was shown in the June showcase.
With Concord we're arguing with such a small number that it's kind of pointless to talk about how many XYZ potential copies have been lost.
The game launched and commercially bombed like very few in its budget bracket have ever done, it is what it is.

The matchmaking is way better than the 2k CCU you had on Steam on Beta so it is really way more pleople playing on PS5.
Was told going to PC day and date would greatly improve sales and profits. They are making a strong case for day and date with this result
If there's 4000 players on the PS5 then it's significantly more than on Steam.
It's over 10x more.
And it's still a bomb.

Anyone playing this should definitely get check out after
I think the only people playing this are PlayStation devs. So they already got checks…
Well theirs way less to pick from on PS. We get the big name shooters only, lots of people like me who think they are all old and washed, want something new.
