Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 682 The Marginal Impact of the Fall of the Titans

681
On March [-], major online media and magazines related to video games announced the latest first-week sales data of Titanfall.

In fact, not only the media related to video games and the electronic industry, economic news, economic magazines, and some mainstream news media have all reported the Titanfall sales data disclosed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This is the fact that Youxing Electronic Entertainment rarely announces the sales results of some of its own products.

Most of the sales results are speculated from different directions by the media of all parties using their own capabilities and technologies.

Although some of the data they speculate are inseparable, there is no official data that is more convincing.

"Chiyo-san, have you heard? A video game sold an astonishing 750 million in the first week. It sold more than 700 million units in the first week, which is really amazing!"

"Well, although this is really powerful, I want to say that this can't be compared like this. You should calculate the output per capita. You think the cost of selling a record is the production of the record itself, as well as the composer and producer of the record. Singers, at most, there are only a few more filming staff, and there will not be too many people in general, and the output of records is more efficient than games. As far as I know, the game of Titanfall has a development cycle alone. It took more than a year and a half, and more than [-] people participated in it, so this record is definitely incomparable."

"However, as far as I know, independent records related to Titanfall are also selling well all over the world, and it seems that the sales have exceeded one million, not to mention some of Titanfall's peripheral products, which have successfully formed a great social effect. , a very successful sales miracle.”

"..."

All concerned were silenced by the horrific sales.

The media is full of compliments.

Originally, mecha culture could only be regarded as a relatively small circle, and it was gradually declining.

However, after the release of Titanfall, the topic of mecha-related quickly increased.

Sales of mecha-related products have soared.

Manufacturers specializing in the production of mecha toys in Japan also drank a little leftover soup. This can only be regarded as a little benefit from sputtering, and it immediately revived many small mecha toy production workshops that were sluggish in business. , many of which are sales orders from overseas.

The IP of Titanfall is firmly in the hands of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

After the fall of Titan, I don't know how many companies rushed to the headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment to discuss business with the business negotiation department of the headquarters.

Even if you can only get a little bit of Titanfall-related authorization, it is estimated that you can make a lot of money.

Of course, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also has its own peripheral product management department.

They have also produced some Titanfall related products before, as well as some Titanfall models and toys.

But these models and toys were previously more reserved for the limited collector's edition of the game that was released independently.

A Titanfall physical version of the game is priced at $59, and a physical collector's edition bundled with a Titanfall BT statue is $[-].

At the beginning, about [-] sets of the collector's edition were prepared. At the time of production, the marketing department was worried that there would be too many to sell.

But I didn't expect this thing to be sold out.

The Collector's Edition was sold out within a week of the game's launch.

The following Titanfall related peripherals were purchased by many people like crazy.

Whether it's a Titanfall statue, a Titanfall badge, or a blanket, I'll buy it all for you.

Later, even if you just put a Titanfall print on the cup, you can sell it for two or three thousand yen. In fact, the cost of manufacturing and packaging is less than one hundred yen.

This is simply more than the profit margin of the game itself.

Compared with products like statues, it is more worth buying. The manufacturing cost of this thing itself is still in line with the sales price.

However, no matter how hard the surrounding business departments work, they are still unable to meet the needs of the majority of players and users.

Batches of orders around Titanfall flew out like snowflakes.

The management department of Youxing Electronic Entertainment sees such a good IP derivative peripheral, how can it be used to authorize others to sell it?Can't you eat it all by yourself?

However, according to the instructions of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Director Matsuhashi, the peripheral business department still authorized the production of a small number of Titanfall products.

This is actually equivalent to a smooth human relationship. I am eating meat here, and I have not forgotten your small companies. If we need to go to your place in the future, don't refuse.

Just letting out a little bit of residue can get a lot of favors, and it will definitely benefit a lot later.

In addition, the Japanese government and many governments around the world have also gained a lot of benefits through Titanfall.

Before that, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment built a one-to-one Titan statue in different cities, and the Titan statues in each city are different, fully integrating the styles of different countries and cities.

This has also immediately become a check-in place for many Titanfall fans. Coming here proves that I am a loyal fan of Titanfall.

If you are a super hardcore fan, you will definitely try your best to take photos with local Titanfall statues all over the world.

This kind of thing is a kind of promotion for the tourism industry everywhere.

Although this may be a petty profit, it represents a good sign, and it means that video games can not only bring benefits to the game industry itself, but also promote other industries.

What's more, a state government in the United States has directly established a Titan R&D team.

They actually really wanted to develop a mecha like Titanfall.

Because according to the research of some engineering and mechanical experts in the local state, they unexpectedly discovered that the Titan Mech in the game Titanfall actually has the possibility of being realized.

Of course, this kind of artificial intelligence is definitely impossible now, but it is entirely possible to create a similar mech.

So they decided to apply for funding, hoping to seriously study the feasibility of Titanfall construction.

Of course, this is definitely unreliable, and more of it is just a scam, but it is enough to prove how big the breaking effect of Titan's fall is.

In Japan, the Tokyo government is also directly preparing to renovate a park and move all the images of the major Titans in the game to that park.

They have seen with their own eyes the travel assistance effect of games and animation.

They still remember the advice Zhu Yuxing gave them back then.
