Despite failure, PlayStation CEO praises Concord: 'Certain aspects were exceptional'

The much-anticipated shooting game Concord turned into a high-profile failure, with players who bought it being refunded, and the studio closed.

"Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional, but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline,"

Mr Hulst said at the time.

The firm also faced criticism over the £699.99 price tag for its new PlayStation 5 Pro console - hardware capable of playing games at higher fidelity.

The firm's two-person leadership model has also raised eyebrows in the industry. Mr Hulst mostly oversees software and Mr Nishino looks after hardware.

"We can achieve greater focus in our respective areas and then come together to develop the best experiences for the PlayStation community,"

Said Mr Nishino.

I pre-ordered the game, played the beta and cancelled almost immediately after that. There was nothing exceptional about the game
