  Chapter 452 The battle of turns

   "President, this is the latest game console product sales data from Surui Electronics."

   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 what 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, then his expression became more serious.

   "The sales momentum looks very good. In the second week, the sales of consoles and handhelds have reached 500,000 and 300,000 respectively. It seems that the sales of their home consoles in the first month are likely to exceed 2 million."

The assistant    nodded: "Yes, their game consoles will likely have an impact on us in the future. Should we do something about it?"

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

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

   However, it is definitely incomparable compared to the screen, 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 easy to do.

   Do a whole new type Now the first thing to consider is the human problem.

   It is actually not easy to let employees 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 and develop a new type of game of relatively poor quality with a lot of manpower.

   But that doesn't suit Take Yusei's style.

   Do the best you can, this is what Take Yusei expects.

   Then, keep the current situation.

   It happens that he is also preparing several new series of games in the follow-up, such as the latest Dragon Quest series, as well as Final Fantasy, Metroid, and Need for Speed.

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

   Use these to fight Suri Electronics first.

   Then act 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.

   Just by virtue of the monster hunter game, it has almost established the unshakable status of the 3DS handheld.

   Monster Hunter at the time…

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, whoever the monster hunter put into the arms of the handheld can almost decide the victory of that era, which is very unimaginable.

   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 works 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, which is the birth of mobile smart phones. They plundered most of their handheld users almost instantly, which was very hurtful.

   Later, Nintendo and Sony never made handheld,

   Even the later SWITCH was recognized by Nintendo as a home console, not a handheld, and the price of switch games was priced according to the home console.

   No matter how later people define the switch, at least Nintendo itself always believes that this is a home console, which is obviously really scared by mobile smartphones.

   At that time, mobile smartphones were really unstoppable like a torrent.

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

   If such a game is not launched 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 is very exciting.

   After you sang, our side came on stage, and Surui Electronics quickly distributed goods with 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 great tool, which makes Surui Electronics' products sell much faster than before.

   Of course, there is also a reason for Nagao Yu’s frantic price war, and it is almost three or four days to the extent that it may burn sixty to seventy million US dollars.

   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. It is completely relying on advertising and sales channels to occupy a certain advantage.

   On the other hand, Zhu Yuxing took a different path.

   When April comes, the new Dragon Quest will be released as scheduled.

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 Nagao Yu has acquired many companies and studios that used to make games for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, there are still many companies on Zhu Yuxing's side rushing to make games for Zhu Yuxing's game consoles. It doesn't matter much at all in terms of the number of games.

   And among them, a particularly striking work was born.

  In this world, the name is End Road, and its game style and setting are almost identical to the previous radiation.

  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.

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.
