Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 53 Let the bullets fly for a while
Yes, NetDragon has global distribution channels.

Both games and VR devices are sold globally.However, unlike in China, masterpieces are only exclusive on their own devices when they are first released.

NetDragon is not that strong in the global market, and some games will also be available on other companies' devices simultaneously.

Especially in some relatively conservative countries, it directly stipulates that games are not allowed to be exclusive, and if they want to be released on the market, they must be compatible with other devices.

In order to get off to a good start this time, NetDragon did not even have a monopoly in China, but simultaneously landed on the equipment of Flying Fox and Desert Island.

This is also the first time.

Prior to this, although leading companies had an agreement to share games across all platforms, in this agreement, the requirements were not strict.

The major titles of that year were just launched, and they were often exclusive, and they would not be registered on other companies' VR devices until the next year.

This can not only maximize the market share of its own equipment, but also increase the sales of games as much as possible without affecting the market share.

This time, "Lie Flame 3" directly logs on to the three major platforms, which shows the great determination.

The players were naturally ecstatic, gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

And Qin Songyun is also gearing up, ready to swing the hoe and dig the corner of the net dragon.

Lin You was also gearing up, preparing to stab the knife at a critical moment.

Naturally, players cannot see the sword behind this, but just place an order to buy the game, download it, and enter the game.

Of course, the anchors are also in a carnival, and the momentum is far greater than that of "Journeyman".

After all, Yunmeng has only 20 consoles, and the number of players who get it is a minority, and the hosts who get it are even a minority of the few.

NetDragon's "Blaze 3" is different. As long as there are three leading companies' VR equipment online orders, they can be downloaded immediately.

How much is the domestic VR equipment inventory?

From 2000 million units.

It is 100 times the number of Yunmeng hosts!
Not to mention the "Flame" series, which already has a good reputation for the first two works.

NetDragon even lowered the price from more than 800 yuan in the past to 648 yuan, in order to grab all the attention of the players in one go, and let the Yunmeng host and "Journeyman" be forgotten by all players!

Lin You didn't pay too much attention to the current trend of public opinion. Now that the NetDragon game has just been released, players are excited.Moreover, in the early stage of "Flame 3", Qin Songyun led a mature team to polish it, and the quality is unquestionable.

The only problem is that early players will be under more and more pressure, but also have a clear battle goal.But the biggest emotional flash point is simply gone now, and it won't be until the DLC is released in a few months.

Now the player is under pressure to reach a key node, just about to have a wave of hearty emotional outbursts, but it turns out that just after a small-scale battle, the game suddenly stops.

It's worse for a player to be suspended in mid-air than to be prevented from erupting.

As for the big outbreak a few months later?Who can wait until a few months later?The daylilies are getting cold!

Lin You had enough patience to wait.

At this moment, Yue Pengju was driving the car and took him to the experience store. The materials and equipment had been purchased by Liang Tian and piled up on the booth in the center of the store.

Lin You didn't delay, pulled a curtain to project the blueprint, put on the earphones, and with the help of Xiaomeng, began to immerse himself in this special handicraft.

……

On NetDragon's end, Hu Rong watched the real-time sales of "Raging Flames 3" in great surprise.

Numbers are skyrocketing every minute.Almost 20 minutes after its release, domestic sales exceeded one million.

After one million sales, the speed no longer shows explosive growth, but it is still very stable, and no stagnation trend can be seen.

Foreign sales are counted by foreign branches, which Hu Rong cannot see here.

But the domestic sales figure alone made him short of breath and extremely excited!

Isn't this what he has been tossing for half a month?The masterpiece planned by myself has achieved record-breaking sales figures. With this achievement, fame and bonuses will naturally follow.

He didn't wait any longer, and immediately printed out the sales data, walked quickly towards the boss's office, and couldn't wait to report the good news.

"Boss! Good news! Domestic sales exceeded one million in 20 minutes! The current growth rate has not slowed down significantly. According to this trend, monthly sales are expected to exceed 600 million copies, and the final domestic sales volume is expected to reach 1000 million copies, creating a new era in the game industry." Record!"

Zhao Yucheng nodded in satisfaction. He still had the sales data collected by various branches around the world.

He is very concerned about the game's release, and has already requested various distribution channels and overseas stations in advance. During the first hour of the game's release, he will transmit data every 5 minutes.

Except for some countries and regions with excessive time difference, the data are generally very optimistic.

Not only the domestic sales record, but also the top ten global sales data, are expected to be impacted.

The reason why it only hit the top ten is not to say that global game companies are so strong, and domestic leading companies such as NetDragon are hard to match.

Instead, the top ten best-selling games are mostly games from previous home game consoles and personal computer platforms. Because of their high prices, it is difficult for games on VR platforms to catch up with sales figures unless they are backward compatible with consoles and computers.

However, once they are backward compatible and without the support of VR devices, these games have no obvious advantages over native games on consoles and computer platforms, and the sales boost effect is not great.

It was because the sales exploded so violently this time that Zhao Yucheng saw hope.

It's just that it's different from what he thought, the sales volume exploded, it's not that "Raging Flames 3" is really so powerful and invincible.

The real reason is completely different from what he imagined——

"Let's go, let's go, your "Journeyman" is full of patterns on your white robe! You can't keep playing until Lin You releases a new game!"

Shui Hua dragged Zhu Cixia to an e-sports club, relying on acquaintances, borrowed the VR equipment here, and wanted to experience the current popular VR game "Blame 3" with her girlfriends.

"I'm not interested in this kind of game." Zhu Cixia resisted a little. "And I had a lot of fun playing Journey, and I don't think it will get boring."

"Before we were not interested in all games! Didn't "Journeyman" give us a surprise? Maybe this is the same? Try it~"

"Okay..." The princess didn't say anything, and walked in with Shuihua.

At the same time, many large Internet cafes across the country have discovered strange things: Many people who have never been to Internet cafes suddenly appear in large numbers and begin to experience VR games for the first time.

Countless people who were aroused by the video of the princess playing the game, and further aroused by Lin You's "Journeyman", are slowly being transformed into a new group of players.

But now I can’t buy Yunmeng’s console, and I can’t play the more and more expected "Journeyman", so Aiwu and Wudi began to try to get in touch with other games.

And "Flame 3" has enjoyed this enthusiasm.

Therefore, the explosive growth in sales was not due to any breakthrough made by "Raging Flames 3" itself, but purely because the number of players had increased dramatically in a short period of time.

It's just that Zhao Yucheng and Hu Rong don't know yet, otherwise they wouldn't be so happy.

You know, these people were not interested in the game before, and they were not even interested in learning about it. It is not without reason...

I just don't know if Netdragon can stand it when this force starts to backfire.

Lin You didn't know anything about it, and he fell into a state of not hearing anything outside the window, and he was so depressed that he cut wood.

Since he can guess the general trend, he no longer bothers to pay attention to too many details.

What is needed next is to wait for everything to brew.

Let the bullets fly a little longer.
