Concord Is Estimated to Have Sold Only 25,000 Units. Here’s Why Analysts Think It Failed - IGN

What happened to Concord? Why did a big Sony first-party game get sent out to die immediately? Is it actually selling badly, or are we just reading the numbers wrong? As usual when questions of this nature crop up, I asked a bunch of professional industry analysts to explain it to me.

    So basically, it’s a poorly marketed $40 game facing a lot of free and popular competition.

      All I have seen is the post mortem articles. Deadlock has had more marketing.
