It's meant to played by teams of 3... so yeah? The smaller your pool of players, the hardest is to accomplish that, specially on the long run. Not exactly rocket science here.

Some PC players would obviously find some way to hack or cheat in the game and ruin the experience for others so let’s just see how it is first in each platform’s ecosystem.

This is the way. I found that online multiplayer games are just not the same anymore once companies started adding crossplay with PC vs Console. Ps5 crossplay with xbox makes sense. Pc should be in its own ecosystem.

Whenever I play games with cross-play I turn it off. I don’t play a lot of online games but when I do I don’t want cheaters. PS generally has plenty of people to play with no matter the time of day.
If the game sells well on PS there will be plenty of people to play with. Same thing with PC I assume.
Xbox I’m not sure about as they have lesser sales of full priced games and less consoles out there but it may be enough to keep a healthy enough player count but who knows.

I don’t think this gets close to Elden Ring but it should do well enough I guess.

Personally I’m not very interested in it at this point but maybe that will change if some Souls friends convince me to play.

No, almost everyone is on PS5 or PC. People will be fine.
