Sony Analyzes Concord's Short-Lived Launch and Lessons Learned

Sony's president Hiroki Totoki discussed the failure of the live service game Concord, which was shut down shortly after launch. He emphasized that Sony is still learning about live service games and highlighted the need for better internal evaluation and user testing processes. Totoki also mentioned organizational challenges and the importance of selecting optimal launch windows to avoid cannibalization.
