Is it not a galgame?

……

"Journey of the Dragon" started the digitalization process of pokeni, and also opened the door to the digitalization of the entire game industry.

Many people had been predicting whether this wave of pokeni digitization would change the world, but they didn't expect it would come so quickly and catch people off guard.

The sales statistics for the first month of Xunlong Journey have been released soon. Although pokeni is not a listed company and has not disclosed the corresponding data, third-party survey companies have already got a rough idea.

In the first week, less than 10% of people chose to download "Dragon Journey" online, but the download rate increased over time and as word of mouth continued to increase.

By the end of the first month, the share of downloads through the Internet had reached an astonishing 25%, which is a very scary number.

This means that more than a quarter of the people in the Oumi region are downloading games through the Internet.

The reason why other regions were not surveyed is because pokeni only opened the online download function in the Omi region, but this data is already quite surprising.

It was almost like giving the whole world a bolt from the blue.

……

It was tepid at the beginning, and many people even thought that the digital era might come, but it would definitely not be that fast, and it would take at least three to five years.

Especially some traditional game media, they have long been accustomed to reporting on games on traditional game consoles. Many media actually have their own close partners.

Sony still firmly occupies the hearts of most overseas game manufacturers, and is also the focus of coverage by these media.

But since the launch of this pokeni digital game, everyone has been able to feel keenly——

It seems that Sony's traditional game platform status is somewhat unstable.

Yes, compared to digitalization, the hardware game console platform has actually become a traditional platform.

You know, when PS was launched, it was quite advanced.

And the online platform that was laughed at by players before seems to have a scene of turbulent tides, landslides and tsunamis.

Although it has not arrived yet, the rumbling sound is already deafening, and some of the more forward-looking media people have already felt this vigorous digitalization process.

The media gave many corresponding reports, and the words used were also very shocking.

[The new gaming platform will be redefined by pokeni! 】

[Looking at pokeni’s digital strategy from "Journey to the Dragon"]

[Will the new era be ushered in by pokeni? 】

[Could it be said that we have to say goodbye to the game console platform, and the online platform will become the mainstream carrier of games in the future? 】

In short, in these media reports, relevant data were disclosed and detailed analysis was given.

At least it looks very detailed, but no one can say how it will develop in the future.

In front of the great process of history, many people make guesses based on intuition.

Just like future new energy vehicles, Neon is betting on hydrogen energy batteries, while China is betting on lithium-ion batteries.

From the perspective of clean energy, hydrogen energy should be more environmentally friendly, but in terms of cost, lithium-ion batteries are obviously more cost-effective.

No one can say what the future will be until the outcome is decided.

Of course, China later relied on its strong national power to create a track, and this was a competition in another dimension.

This is the power of a great country!

Now Pokeni is talking about digitalization, and Sony is also talking about digitalization. Everyone seems to have recognized that digitalization is coming, and this time "Journey of the Dragon" can be regarded as a very successful attempt. There is enough evidence and power to support these media. predict.

This is how confidence is constantly generated.

When most people think that this era is coming, then it really may be coming.

The wheels of history rumble, enough to flatten everything.

Crush everything.

……

EA's sense of smell is very sensitive, because they are in the crater of the entire volcanic eruption, and there is a roaring sound under their buttocks, and it is almost burning and smoking, so they will naturally have first-hand insights.

"Is Internet downloading so scary?"

Richard Gilbert, the current CEO of EA, was secretly frightened when he saw the relevant data reports and corresponding news.

Especially when they saw the network download demonstration conducted by company employees on the spot, which showed a game download speed of over 1M, most of the company members were silent.

"Isn't this speed...a bit exaggerated?"

one of the employees lamented.

"Yes, this is almost reaching the upper limit of bandwidth. You must know that the best network in the country now is 3M bandwidth, and so many machines in our company are being used and shared at the same time. One machine can reach such If it’s a terrifying speed…”

It can probably only mean one thing.

When everyone heard what the programmer said, they basically reacted and quickly returned to their work stations to check their network status.

Sure enough, many web pages are difficult to open.

"Oh my God! What kind of technology does pokeni use? It directly takes over the network speed of other games. Isn't this too overbearing?"

Gilbert took a deep breath and was once again deeply shocked by pokeni's skills.

Isn’t this company too legendary?

How did they manage to push technology all the way to such terrifying levels?

You must know that when it comes to network technology, the United States is the birthplace, but P Agency seems to have single-handedly raised the Internet technology in the entire world.

But at the same time, Gilbert's eyes also lit up.

If the concept of [new game platform] proposed by Qing Zhiyuan is correct, then pokeni is already ahead of the curve.

It also means another very scary thing——

Game manufacturers may bypass game hardware manufacturers and become successful on multiple hardware platforms but with their own unique online game platform.

In other words, the network platform can be built on different machines and become a new virtual platform.

This is a very remarkable step.

At this point, Gilbert almost exclaimed that Qing Zhiyuan was a genius!

What a smart idea this was. He felt that he might not be able to think of it in this life, but Qing Zhiyuan took it out easily and realized it early, as if he had never seen the answer before.

But Gilbert doesn't think it's a bad thing at all. On the contrary, isn't this a new opportunity for EA?

In the past, in the field of game consoles, EA lacked hardware development capabilities, and it is definitely too late to enter now. The price to pay is too high, so they will feel comfortable being a third party. But now, the thinking mode is different. There is only one competitor in the new game platform field, pokeni, and this guy doesn't seem to have a complete monopoly.

According to American law, a company will not be allowed to monopolize in any field, and there will inevitably be competitors.

This is the opportunity.

The huge market is unfolding in front of Gilbert, like a mountain filled with gold shovels. There is only one climber on it, pokeni, but they also have a good chance of getting a share of the pie.

"You guys should study how this gaming platform works. We have to prepare."

Gilbert immediately made an accurate judgment.

……

As for Neon, since it is not at the center of the earthquake, it will feel slightly lagging and weaker.

However, news and related data began to be transmitted through the United States, and there were very detailed analysis reports there.

Over at Rentendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at the data report sent back by the American subsidiary. On the first page of the report, there was a big conclusion:

"Judging from the data analysis of this time's "Journey to the Dragon", we have reason to believe:

The future of games must be a digital era.

The share of online downloads in game purchases will gradually increase until it exceeds traditional cassettes and optical discs. "

Although it does not directly say "If we fail to keep up with the digital era, we will be eliminated", the general meaning is already clear.

Yamauchi Pu couldn't help but take a deep breath and held his forehead with a headache.

After adjusting his glasses frame a little, he turned back to look at Miyamoto Shigeru.

“So are we going to go digital as well?”

Shigeru Miyamoto pondered for two seconds and nodded slowly, "Judging from the report sent back from the United States, this should be the case."

Rentendo America's subsidiary company is fully responsible for Minori Arakawa, which means that he must have read this report, and it probably represents what he means.

Arakawa...

Yamauchi Hiroshi felt a headache again. His son-in-law sometimes behaved too much like a businessman, but in fact he lacked the judgment of the game.

However, from a certain perspective, Arakawa's business acumen, especially the direction of making money in the future, is often relatively accurate.

Hiroshi Yamauchi hesitated for a while, and finally asked Miyamoto Shigeru to do what Arakawa wanted.

He's almost letting go now, so let's use Arakawa as the core during this period and see where he can take the company.

However, the only thing that made Hiroshi Yamauchi feel a little depressed, dissatisfied, and even restless was——

Those who are not digital can follow up later.

But, damn it! Why pokeni again this time? !

pokeni is such a haunting that it can be found everywhere.

If digitization, especially the digitization of games, will become a future trend, then Qing Zhiyuan is once again at the forefront of the world.

Dazzling, so dazzling!

……

Sony can actually understand Rententian’s uneasiness and EA’s anxiety best.

Especially Nobuyuki Idei, you must know that he was the first person to mention digitalization and to fully transform the company into digitalization.

It's just that Sony has just completed the first step of digitization, which is to digitize music. However, the digitization of games will take at least two years according to the normal process.

But pokeni ran to the front like a prophet.

It makes people hate it.

And this time it’s not just digitization, pokeni also created the history of downloading games online.

This is amazing.

Basically, it directly hits Sony's basic market, at least in areas with developed networks like Omi.

Imagine that if more people download games through the Dandelion Game Platform in the future instead of buying game discs, then from the perspective of the entire industry chain, there will be a lot less income.

This is something that Nobuyuki Idei absolutely cannot tolerate.

So he quickly called Kutaragi Ken, and the two discussed it for a long time, and finally came to the same conclusion as EA.

You have to follow up quickly and start the process of networking your own games.

While there is still a vacuum in this field.

……

The world is changing, the times are developing, and human beings are making progress.

Every day is different.

The only thing that remains constant is change itself.

While other companies were marveling at the digitization of Dragon Hunting Journey and the ultra-high-speed download service provided by Dandelion Game Platform, Qing Zhiyuan was not idle either.

People, get up early, don't end up catching nothing.

Now Qing Zhiyuan has a serious sense of crisis.

P2P technology is not a particularly difficult technology. As long as powerful programmers conduct testing and analysis based on the performance of their game platforms, they can quickly draw corresponding conclusions.

But the good thing is that pokeni has registered some core patents in advance, so there is no need to panic.

"After the concept of this wave of online game platforms is launched, countless game manufacturers will definitely follow up,"

Qing Zhiyuan told the bosses of several companies, "It's time to take the next step."

ha?

Akanishi Ken's brows were raised into a horoscope. Good guy, I just finished playing with the game platform, why do I have to start the next step? !

Can you please take a breather, President? !
