The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

After the shooting of "Budo Master" was over, Fan Zhe returned to the headquarters of Shenghai Company, while staring at the post-production of this TV series project, on the other hand, he also paid close attention to the sales of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2". .

Since the launch of "Taiwu 2" on August 8th, a whole week has passed. And the final first week sales are also out.

14 million sets!

This number has surpassed the new "Call of Duty" series launched this year, and has become the world's best-selling game among all Activision's games.

In a week, "Taiwu 2" won 817 million US dollars in the global market!

This number has surpassed a series of popular masterpieces such as "Red Dead Redemption 2".

Of course, it is still nothing compared to the sales of more than 7 million sets and sales of more than 1 billion on the first Monday of "gta5".

"Gta5" is still too scary, it is the most profitable stand-alone game in the history of the game.

This game, which was launched in 2013, still has quite strong sales until now, and it can still be on the steam platform sales list from time to time. It was initially launched on ps3, and then three years after the release of ps4 version, someday it was inexplicably on the top of ps sales...

So far, the total sales volume of this game has reached nearly 100 million, and breaking 100 million is a sure thing. The current total profit has exceeded 6 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 40 billion yuan!

The main reason "gta5" can have such a powerful dominance level is of course the quality of the game itself is extremely good, which is beyond doubt. Even if you look at it today, his game design and graphics are not backward.

However, in addition to the quality of the game itself, its online gameplay is also very good.

The online feature obviously helps a lot in the long-term sales of a game.

"Taiwu 2" has never done "gta5", and it is not incredible.

In addition to the online attributes, "gta5" itself is also a crime-themed game under the modern urban background, and in that era, the open world they made almost became the template for this entire category of games, which was groundbreaking. , These are the important reasons for the hot sale of "gta5".

In these respects, "Taiwu 2" suffers more. Although their combat system is very good, and the "Dynamic Jianghu" is also very groundbreaking in gameplay, but the subject matter, Chinese-style martial arts, may be good in China. In the entire global market, it is similar to "gta5". Compared with crime-themed and action-adventure-themed games in the modern urban context, they are still incomparable.

And putting aside the incredible monster of "gta5", the results of "Taiwu 2" have shocked the game industry all over the world.

After the e3 conference, the quality of "Taiwu 2" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many practitioners believe that this is a very high-quality game, and they also tend to believe that "Taiwu 2" will achieve a relatively good sales performance.

It's just that not many people can think that it would be so good.

In the first week, 14 million sets were sold. Even if the sales of "Taiwu 2" are frozen, it is a game with a very good result.

Among them, the contribution of Chinese players should not be underestimated.

In just one week, "Taiwu 2" sold more than 4 million copies in mainland China.

This is quite dumbfounding.

Although, current global game developers have always felt that China is a market with huge potential. Although there are a series of problems such as piracy and difficulty in importing games, the huge population base lies here, as long as they can Pry open the Chinese market, the benefits will also be huge.

However, a 3a masterpiece can sell 4 million sets in China in the first week. This figure is quite exaggerated. If the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions are counted, the number is close to 5 million sets.

The biggest part of the sales of "Taiwu 2" is in China.

The North American region is followed closely by the sales contribution. The big brother of capitalism, American players have contributed more than 4.5 million sets of "Taiwu 2", which is basically the same as mainland China, but their pricing level is not 269 yuan, but 59. U.S. dollars are almost twice as expensive.

In the future, the veteran country, the United Kingdom, provided 1.1 million sets of sales. With the addition of the United Kingdom, the entire European region brought more than 2.6 million sets of sales.

The remaining two million sets are from Japan, South Korea, and other countries and regions.

In fact, Dimension Entertainment itself did not expect this data.

At the beginning, the conservative sales estimate set by the commercial department was that as long as three to five million units were sold globally in the first week, it would be almost the same.

This is equivalent to the fact that the sales in the first week will almost enable them to pay back on this game, and then gradually sell them again. If you sell one more set, you will make a set of money. In addition, the first week’s sales volume can reach three to five million sets. After a year or two, the final sales volume can reach eight million or even tens of millions. Then Dimension Entertainment can make a pretty good profit on this game. At the same time, this partner of Activision will also be able to make money.

They didn't expect that they would be able to sell 14 million sets on the first Monday.

Although it is not as good as the results of "gta5" back then~www.NovelMTL.com~, but it is definitely the top sales in the first week of release among all the new games released in the past few years.

The official blog of Dimension Entertainment published a celebration poster for the first time: a big red 14 with a slightly smaller text of "Ten Thousand Sets" beside it, and an upward art arrow beside it, indicating that the data is still Growing.

The copy above is: ""Taiwu Picture Scroll 2", sales broke 14 million in the first week! Thank you for your support. In the past week and the next three weeks, all those who bought the game "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" Players will receive a special reward, [Glory Horse Headgear]."
