Halo infinite has fun mechanics like concord but suffers from some similar flaws like lack of progression

Microsoft should take advantage of Concord going offline and shadow drop Halo Infinite Multiplayer on PS5 this weekend

Thats just your insecurities speaking. I never said 2% was a low number or would represent poor sales. Never inferred that either. Even the best selling games rarely cross 10% market penetration.
All I’ve said is that there’s a significant number of PS5 players who wouldn’t be ‘cup tied’ by Astrobot in the hypothetical situation that a GaaS shooter released in the same time frame. And we’ll see that clearly when the COD Open beta starts from today to end weekend.
There’s no common sense in taking the percentages years after release and applying it in discussion about a new release on another platform.
What were you thinking with this?!
talk for yourself, I won't be touching that shit.

I forget what podcast I was listening to but apparently they were going to do this and ran into serious issues. Which makes sense considering the massive issues they originally had with that game.

Releasing to a broader player base would be exactly the type of move to help a game that is on life support.

it's running natively on series s. i cant believe there is any architectural difference with ps5 that would block a port. a lot of the original massive issues stemmed from having the og version and the upgraded version running concurrently on xbone.

The entire thread is based on taking advantage of 35 people no longer 'cup tied' by Concord but you took issue with my, not at all quantitative, take saying PS5 users will be busy playing Astrobot this weekend?
What was the purpose of saying I'm being optimistic for saying such a thing and bringing up 2% then? Surely you would be saying they can all exist and release together, Astrobot, COD, Concord and Halo and it wouldn't make a difference since you think there is so little crossover in game purchases vs time due to this per game percentage.
And you think a very late port has no effect on player numbers? I was just saying the low percentage is normal for large install bases.
Take the all time peak CCU at release if you like and figure out 256,000/25000000 and you get 1%. My only point was that 2% would be considered good. I still believe there is crossover in purchases with releases next to eachother though regardless of this percentage.

How does it "take advantage" when there was nobody playing Concord anyway, it's not like there is a significant numbers of players suddenly looking for a game to migrate to. that's like saying X should take advantage of the fact his wife is out of town when X isn't married.

astrobot is a children's game.

Dude is that out this weekend!?
This Friday, yeah.
Ok but that's like saying any Mario, Zelda or Pokemon game is a children's game. Sure you're technically right it's family friendly and rated E for everyone but doesn't mean adults can't have fun too playing it.
