Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 452 Taking turns to fight

"President, this is the recent sales data of Surui Electronics' game console products."

When two weeks passed, Zhu Yuxing's assistant submitted the sales data of the latest game console from Suri Electronics to Zhu Yuxing on time.

This is the thing that Take Yusei is most concerned about recently besides game development.

He put down the work at hand, took the data sheet and briefly looked at it, and then his expression became more serious.

"The sales momentum looks very good. In the second week, the consoles and handhelds sold reached 50 and 30 respectively. It seems that the sales of their home consoles in the first month are likely to exceed 200 million."

The assistant nodded: "That's right, their game consoles are likely to have an impact on us in the future, shouldn't we make some countermeasures?"

"The response must be done, but it depends on how to do it." Zhu Yuxing replied while thinking.

The easiest and most direct way must be to produce better works.

However, the picture is definitely incomparable, and the performance gap between the two sides on the game console is still quite large.

Another Mario for a home console?

But that can only be reflected in the stability of sales, and it is very difficult to go further.

Make a new genre game?
But the game is not so good.

Doing a whole new type Now the first thing to consider is the human issue.

It's not easy to get employees to understand a general concept of his new genre, and then let them invest in the development of the game.

Unless he's going to settle for the next best thing to developing a new type of game of relatively poor quality with a lot of manpower.

But that was not in the style of Take Yusei.

Try to do your best if you want to do it, this is what Zhuyouxing expects.

So, keep the current situation for now.

It just so happens that I am also preparing several new series of games, such as the latest Dragon Quest series, Final Fantasy, Metroid, and Need for Speed.

These have all entered the final stage of development one after another during this period of time.

Use these to fight Suri Electronics first.

Then take action now, and launch the latest games one after another, according to one first-party game a month, and then continue to output a variety of third-party games from partners.

Zhu Yuxing remembers that in his previous life, Sony, in order to compete for the superior position in the new handheld era, made PSV explode in a short period of time and released more than ten first-party and third-party works that could be regarded as masterpieces, but it was a pity that it was obvious at the time. Nintendo's firepower is stronger, or their games are stronger.

With just one game of Monster Hunter, the unshakable status of the 3DS handheld has almost been established.

Back then monster hunter...

Hey?
Yes, maybe you can consider Monster Hunter.

Zhu Youxing slapped his forehead.

It was not until this time that he suddenly remembered the absolute representative work of this action Tianzun Capcom.

At that time, it was very unimaginable that in the arms of whoever the monster hunter put into the hands of the handheld can almost determine the victory of that era.

A game can have such an influence, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a second similar example in that era.

If Capcom chose to launch its Monster Hunter work on PSV for the first time, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose at that time.

However, in the end, the two companies may not have thought that they would be stolen by another outsider, that is, the birth of mobile smartphones, which plundered most of their handheld users almost instantly, which was very hurtful.

Later, Nintendo and Sony never made handhelds,

Even the later Switch was recognized by Nintendo as a home console instead of a handheld, and the game prices of the Switch were all priced according to the home console.

No matter how later people define the switch, at least Nintendo itself still believes that this is a home console, and it is obviously really afraid of being hit by a mobile smartphone.

At the time, mobile smartphones were truly unstoppable like a torrent.

However... I am afraid that it will take a long time to think about making Monster Hunter, at least a year, but it can be done first, this game can definitely play a decisive role.

If you don't launch such a game in this era of handheld hegemony, even Zhu Yuxing will regret it.

He hopes that people in this world can also experience the ultimate enjoyment of Monster Hunter.

……

If last December was a publicity battle for many top companies.

March is the battle of the century between Surui Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the two companies that are the first and second in video games.

This battle was very exciting.

After you sing, we will come on stage, and Suri Electronics quickly distributes goods by relying on its very strong sales and advertising strength.

Especially with YOO Nagaoyu's desperate efforts to promote Internet shopping, it really allowed Nagaoyu to slowly build up the basic online shopping model in Japan and the United States.

And online shopping can be said to be a big weapon, which makes Surui Electronics' product sales much faster than before.

Of course, there is also a reason for Changweiyu's frenzied price war, which may burn 7000 to [-] million US dollars in almost three or four days.

If this were the case, the average company would have collapsed long ago.

However, the machine has been sold, and the game has also sold a lot, but in terms of game quality, it still can't compare with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

On the other hand, Zhuyouxing took a different path.

When April arrives, the new Dragon Quest is on schedule.

Now this series already has a fairly stable player base. As long as Dragon Quest continues to be released, they will be willing to buy even if there is no progress. man, who has ensured that every generation has at least one improvement every time.

This time, Dragon Quest is an improvement on the screen, allowing the original 2D Dragon Quest to evolve into the era of 3D image quality, and through the accumulation of CG technology for several years, it has made a better game than the previous life. CG image.

At the same time, there are many loyal third-party partners on the side of Zhuyouxing that will be released together in April.

Even though Changweiyu acquired many companies and studios that used to make games for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, there are still many companies on Zhuyouxing's side rushing to make games for Zhuyouxing's game consoles. In terms of the number of games it doesn't make much of an impact at all.

And among them, a particularly striking work was born.

In this world, it's called The End, and its game style and settings are almost identical to the previous Fallout.

The studio that made this game is a few guys that Take Yusei once saw very much.

After being recommended by Zhu Yuxing at the exhibition, they chose to submit their work to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for trial play.

With the works hand-picked by Zhu Youxing, there is naturally no obstacle. They have successfully won the favor of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and they are willing to invest. The price is that the works of this studio in the next few years will only be registered on Youxing. on electronic entertainment platforms.
