Det tog under to uger fra Concord gik i luften til at spillet blev taget offline, og nu er studiet lukket helt ned, og IP'en er tilsyneladende blevet lagt på hylden. Det er der mange årsager til, og Sony har for nylig reflekteret over hvordan det kunne gå så galt.
I en nylig Q&A session med investorer siger COO OG CFO Hiroki Totoki, at det kommer til at tage tid at lære af Concord-fiaskoen, men han peger specifikt på deres egen interne vurdering af spillet ved diverse milepæle som et område der godt kunne klare en revidering.
"With regards to new IP, of course, you don't know the result until you actually try it. So for us, for our reflection, we probably need to have a lot of gates, including user testing or internal evaluation, and the timing of such gates. And then we need to bring them forward, and we should have done those gates much earlier than we did. Also, we have a siloed organization, so going beyond the boundaries of those organizations in terms of development and also sales, I think that could have been much smoother. And then going forward, in our own titles and in third-party titles, we do have many different windows. And we want to be able to select the right and optimal window so that we can deploy them on our own platform without cannibalization, so that we can maximize our performance in terms of title launches. That's all I have."
Det lader til at efter studielukningen så kommer Sony ikke til at droppe deres fokus på live services helt, men de har sat stort fokus på kommende singleplayer-spil.
