Anyway it doesn't take anything from concord failure but ... Helldivers 2 first million was mostly on ps5 so until we don't see the table of sales of August and September we won't know how much of a failure Concord is.

Console doesn’t seem to be much better of a story. At least in the US the game is doing marginally better on console. Around number 50 in PS Store’s best sellers. Which is not good for a Sony first party game, but better than it’s doing on PC.

That actually was not the case with Helldivers 2. About 70% of Helldivers 2 sales were on PC. If it wasn’t for PC, the game would’ve probably been a modest success at best, but certainly not viral.

It seems GymratAmarillo spread some misinformation, unless he’s got sources? Can’t find any data about the first million copies of HD2, so he might be telling the truth…I’m unsure. In any case, I believe Concord prolly will see more of its sales come from console than PC compared to HD2. As you’ve pointed out, top 50 on PSN is certainly far better than <1,000 concurrent players on Steam.

Circana was the primary source when it came to HD2 sales as we obviously don’t have official platform figures, but the most immediate was Circana reporting that because of PC sales, HD2 became Sony’s 7th best highest selling published game. If it was just PS5, it wouldn’t have even been in the top 20. Then the monthly Circana sales reports of HD2 being the best seller on Steam for something like 3-4 months straight where it fell out of the top 10 on PS5 within that window. The best we have is as far as sales figures is VG Insights and Gamalytic hovering HD2 around 10 million sales on Steam. I doubt that’s exactly accurate though, but consistent evidence that PC makes up the vast majority of HD2 sales.
