Is Concord the biggest live service failure of all time? Here's how it stacks up next to other major flops

Concord won't get a second chance. The hero shooter that bombed in August isn't going to be reworked and relaunched, Sony announced this week, and the studio that spent years developing it is being closed for good.

It's been called the biggest videogame flop of all time, and that might be true. It's hard to get exact budget and sales numbers for games, so it's a somewhat subjective judgment, but even the infamous Atari 2600 E.T. game sold a million-and-a-half copies. Concord can't have come close to that, we know it was expensive to produce, and it was playable for a mere two weeks.
