Tokyo Gentleman Story
Chapter 1299: The state of the game industry
The unspeakable night passed like this.
The December season has also passed more than half.
Christmas is approaching, and the last year of the twentieth century is about to pass.
The new century will come.
As for the Christmas carnival of A company, all gamers and fans have set their sights on this.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
During the Christmas holidays, A company will continuously launch many new games, including the interactive movie version of FATE, which is known as "movie-level experience".
For many Mithril platform users, the most important thing this day is discounts.
In many places, players have begun to hoard point cards, and in some areas where online credit card payment has been opened, many players have also started recharge operations, and some people have not recharged, but directly prepared credit cards—— Because in many areas, in order to promote online payment methods, credit cards still have a 5% discount, which can be added to games.
What is the most important thing at the turn of the century?
For many people, it may be a summary of the twentieth century.
But for players, the most important thing in the twentieth century is really buying and buying!
These days, the Internet can be used for office work and communication, but the most important thing about the Internet is not to use it to play games?
Hero track?
Hero price reduction promotion! 20% discount on legendary skins!
And we also have a super gift pack, you can open a legendary skin you don't have, and you can also have a complete set of prop UI.
Garden war?
We are more conscientious, all skins are 50% off, a set of skin themes, as long as you are 99 yuan!
You can get a whole new set of skins for less than one hundred dollars!
Brave new world?
Um... well, this niche game doesn't have any price cut promotions at Christmas, but the players in Brave New World have not increased.
This game with the highest number of people online is only a little over ten thousand people. It is the lowest-end online game under Senxia.
Well, as far as this era is concerned, the highest online number of 10,000 people is already a super good result. It is really a bit wronged to say that it is a minority.
But this kind of ultra-high-degree-of-freedom word online game is unsustainable in the future world, because after entering the era of graphics, the cost of content creation will increase countless times. This kind of game that relies on words to be patiently played is It can't last forever.
This is a game that can operate for ten, even twenty and thirty years, but the user capacity of such a game is definitely not large-of course, because of its super high degree of freedom and customization, even It is pure text, and this model will definitely continue.
In the future, this kind of thing has been proven, and even after twenty years, there will still be text-only or close to text-only game websites and various games on the Internet.
Players have all kinds of hobbies, but among the online games, there are very few that can perfectly operate 18X content, and the number of works that can be used by everyone is even rarer.
In addition to these games, online versions of similar and have also begun discount sales.
Especially Street Fighter.
Capcom did not pay much attention to the DC-P platform at the beginning.
When they first developed Street Fighter on this platform, it was actually the same as when they developed the crisis on DC in the first place-for you.
But Capcom never expected that the Street Fighter online version was on fire!
Unlike a big eastern country like it, in Europe and America, people actually like this game more.
Capcom developed this online version, on the one hand to join in, and on the other hand, for WCG.
In the World E-Sports Competition, Capcom specially developed a DLC in order to catch up with the process-that is, to add a battle scene of the "World E-Sports Competition" venue and all-character "E-Sports Competition Uniforms" to the work. ".
Then, Capcom found the door to the new world and opened it before his own eyes.
After the World E-Sports Competition, Capcom never expected that this set of DLC would have sold more than 100,000 copies!
You know, although it is a well-known game, even in Europe and the United States, the number of players who have the Internet, DC-P, and still play at the same time are very small!
In this case, a set of DLC can sell so much, do you think they have an idea?
Soon, following the gap of Halloween, they launched the "Halloween Suit" skin.
It turns out... Fuck, I actually bought better!
Capcom, who had tasted the sweetness both times, also instantly understood how such a free online game survived-this DLC selling skins is more profitable than selling the game itself!
Then, Lengfan Tianwang Kapukong, on the world line where Senxia is located, changed his job to become the skin emperor.
Capcom, who is on the road of no return selling skins, also prepared various suits for the characters at Christmas. Fans, I am afraid that they will have to spend a lot of money.
Not only do they sell skins, but also open new events.
For example, the Stone Age and Bubble Hall both launched Christmas events... Well, well, these games are mainly for sale in a certain eastern country. The so-called events actually have a stronger concept of hotness.
In the version of the game, a DLC plot is added. This plot unfolds a DLC called "Endless Christmas", which tells the story of Nanoha being trapped in Christmas.
Although this plot is not long, it is a foreshadowing for the second part-because in the second part, the Morinia version is prepared to use "enemy of time" as the main prop "Book of Darkness" opponent , The Book of Darkness is a magic weapon created to fight the enemy of time, whose real name is Book of Night and Sky, but after being contaminated by the enemy of time, it has become an ominous existence.
The Christmas story is a prelude and foreshadowing of the work.
This is the status quo of DC-P camp games before Christmas.
Of course, this world is not only DC-P, as the boss of the home machine, Sony’s PS2 is even more popular, including games like Final Fantasy, which are all sold on PS2, and DC-P even has a bowl of soup. There is no chance.
But even in the Sony camp, when they saw the fancy marketing on DC-P, they were stunned-you guys can still play like this? !
"This son is so terrifying!"
Father Pu Yamauchi was also very surprised when he saw DC-P sales at this time.
And beside Yamauchi Pu, sits Iwata Satoshi.
The two are negotiating about GBA.
In the past two years, Nintendo has not made much progress. The so-called Nintendo N64 console, not to mention Sony's PS, can't even compare with Sega's Saturn game console.
It is true that the N64 is selling well, but such a machine and such sales are actually owned by Nintendo, which is a failure.
So Nintendo has been able to renew it recently, entirely because they still have a handheld relationship.
At this time, they developed a new generation of handhelds.
This is GBA.
A few months ago, Yamauchi Pu and Iwata Satoshi had a false alarm.
Because of the XBOX handheld, the sales volume suddenly increased. In a short time, the inventory almost tripled!
This change directly surprised Nintendo.
What's even more amazing is that they discovered that this game machine in a certain eastern country was rushing for millions and tens of millions of copies, and they were even more shocked.
But fortunately, after they investigated, they found that things were not like that.
The sales of this game console increased sharply because of a game that is not a game—the so-called "brain game." Many middle-aged and elderly people play this game for the so-called "brain".
In a large eastern country, the so-called XBOX simply does not exist.
There are twins of XBOX, that is, X-Reader and its enhanced version...well, the latter is actually closer to things like Wenquxing.
Regardless of the market, this machine was not created for games. The former is a "health product", while the latter is a "reader" and "school supplies."
Pu Yamauchi was surprised not because of this handheld.
But because of DC-P.
Because in a big eastern country, because of a paper order, the game consoles are no longer there.
But-but-after Nintendo's investigation, they found something was wrong.
Because the Order of the Phoenix is over there, a Kylin computer has been launched.
After investigating, Nintendo was surprised to find that this thing turned out to be DC-P wearing a vest!
So, just on such a banned border...cross words, sorry...just in such a world where game consoles were banned, such a game console appeared magnificently.
What, you said that this machine will not go on sale next year?
Don’t you know that a certain eastern country has already announced cooperation matters? !
With the government's bottom line, the sales of these millions of sets are guaranteed.
In a large eastern country, a company that sells lion pets and delivers anti-virus software even survived through government procurement!
What's more terrifying is that they have swallowed the market of a certain eastern country!
This means that they may even sell tens of millions of copies!
This is where Pu Yamauchi feels the most terrifying.
"But as far as I know, their profit margins are very low. Their main profit method is to rely on subsidies from both sides of the mud bombing and a certain eastern country. The subsidies on the mud bombing side can be removed if someone lobbys. "Iwata Satoshi said.
Yamauchi listened to Iwata Satoshi's words, put down the information questionnaire about the Order of the Phoenix in his hand, and looked at the heir he had selected.
"Does this make sense?"
"..."
Satoshi Iwata said nothing.
Because it really doesn't make sense.
——When the Order of the Phoenix did this kind of thing, it didn't even think about making money.
What they want is penetration rate and what they want is market.
Subsidies are just icing on the cake.
Even if there is no subsidy, the Order of the Phoenix will definitely do this kind of thing.
So we can do things like abolishing subsidies in lobbying, but why should we consume our own favors to do such thankless things?
No need!
"But they have a good idea. Nintendo wants to enter the market of a certain oriental country, and this method may be good."
Although Mori summer is a Nintendo, always black Nintendo on one side, but in fact, Nintendo was indeed one of the pioneers to land in a certain eastern country. Nintendo sold a GBA game console of the "Swimming Game" series in a certain eastern country. It is the childhood memories of many people.
Yamauchi Pu's gaze is much stronger than that of "Ren Hell" who will never die in Chinese in the future.
After seeing Senxia's thinking, he also had an idea here.
Satoshi Iwata also knew what Yamauchi meant.
"Our new host can also log in to a certain eastern country as a'home computer'?"
In fact, Nintendo’s “red and white console” is actually a so-called “home computer”, not a “game console”.
At least that's what they said officially.
The so-called FC is the name of "Family_Computer".
However, Mr. Yamauchi shook his head: "The first is a genius, the second is a mediocre, and the third is a fool. The Order of the Phoenix can enter a certain eastern country by following the official route, but can we do it? ?"
"..."
Satoshi Iwata thought about it ~www.readwn.com~ or shook his head.
Can't do it.
First of all, they did not have the courage to come up with high-precision products to exchange benefits. Secondly, they... it doesn't matter.
For Morinia, it is impossible for Sega to continue to develop the technology inherited by Sega alone. At this time, being able to throw the pot to exchange some benefits for a certain eastern power is actually one of the best waste recycling methods that Senxia can find.
But can Nintendo do it?
Can't do it!
And more importantly...there is someone on Senxia!
Mr. Yamauchi Pu is not very clear about the affairs of the Tianhai family, but he was born in the 1920s, and he still knows some things about the Tianhai family.
The Tianhai family has always been the leading party.
They are also small experts who lead the way in many ways. After World War II, they were not only not liquidated, but they were supported by the Beacon State. This is a point that can explain the problem. It's not without reason that people can take the position of the emperor of the earth in Hokkaido.
And in a large eastern country...well, it is said that the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries will involve them in the process. Can you say it can be achieved?
Tianhai Senxia is the successor of the Tianhai family. Although the other party’s company is not the industry of the Tianhai family, the relationship and influence can still be borrowed.
"Let's concentrate on preparing for the GBA. Regarding the news of the Order of the Phoenix, I guess Sony is more anxious than us..."
The old man finally concluded like this...
"Hi."
Satoshi Iwata nodded.
No matter what others are doing, Nintendo still has to give priority to its own consoles and games...
...
The company selling lion pets is Rui Xing...
