If they were expecting 3 million units sold, then they were already expecting a massive flop. For a major AAA release, 5+ million is considered a very moderate success. The last Dragon Age sold 14 million.
The wokies want everyone to adopt Concord as the new standard for failure because then every other woke flop looks better. At fewer than 1.5 million “players reached”, Veilguard is a legit disaster.
Dead Space 3 was a failure massive enough to shut down the studio over a decade ago, and that needed 5 million units to meet EAs expectations of a "franchise." Even the remake at 2 million was so low they decided to not continue and remake everyone's favorite game in the franchise (which would have likely printed money).
So if expectations were that low, they were already cutting losses and just giving a number to not fire everyone immediately.
