The New York Times reported that the explosive sales of "StarCraft" were not only due to the game, but also the Sega DC console.

In the past, Sega's console was outperformed by Sony's PS console due to pricing issues and too few console games. But now with the release of "StarCraft", Sega's console sales have begun to increase.

The release of new games, coupled with the fact that Peter Moore, the head of the world's consoles, started a price reduction promotion, allowed Sega's DC console to sell 140,000 units worldwide in a single day!

Selling consoles is much more profitable than selling game discs. A game console, plus various accessories, sells for $399, which is much more expensive than selling a game. Sega earns $5,500 a day.

With over a million US dollars, this also shows why Sony and Nintendo are clinging to the console industry.

"Games will likely have a new industry chain. Xueleshan has redefined the concept of games. Games have become one of the "channels" for monetizing the Internet, giving games a new concept!"

The New York Times spent a lot of space to tell subscribers about the influence of games on Xueleshan and the Internet. It is not just one company that benefits from Xueleshan, but the entire industry chain, including game manufacturers, consoles,

Game retailers and more.

The "Wall Street Journal" made an estimate for the sales of "StarCraft", "The sales of StarCraft may not exceed that of "Diablo" due to the difficulty of game operation, type and other reasons, but it is still the sales volume of America this year and even

One of the best-selling games in the world!'

"According to an interview with Xueleshan President Ken.c TV station, Xueleshan wants to develop a new industry for games, the e-sports industry!

The StarCraft game may become the first game of Snow Mountain to enter the e-sports industry. If the e-sports industry can emerge, then this industry will bring the game to a new height. Industries related to e-sports will

Including e-sports event broadcasts, e-sports equipment, advertising sponsorships, ticket revenue, peripheral product licensing, etc., of course, Xueleshan may have profit methods.

The e-sports industry may become an emerging sports event in the world like football, basketball, rugby and other sports industries in the future!"

The Wall Street Journal is very interested in the e-sports that Xueleshan is engaged in. Even if it is just a concept, the idea proposed by Xueleshan, but the emergence of a new industry, always makes people full of expectations.

Just like the current Internet industry, it doesn't make any money, but that doesn't stop Wall Street from making a lot of money by using the concept of the Internet to speculate.

The emergence of the concept of e-sports industry has created new opportunities for speculation for Wall Street institutions. They are not afraid of unreliable concepts, but they are afraid that they have no concept.

The concept of e-sports can excite Wall Street by selling a hundred "StarCraft" games like Leshan. How many dollars can it make by selling a hundred "StarCraft" games? By using the concept of e-sports, Wall Street institutions can repeatedly

Jump horizontally to cut leeks in various ways!

The major media are rushing to report on the explosive sales of "StarCraft", making 80 million US dollars a day. This kind of ability to cut leeks is not much in the whole of America.

The entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street are even more stimulated. Many Silicon Valley companies have announced their entry into the game industry. Wall Street institutions have also begun to rush to invest in game companies. The market values ​​of world-renowned game manufacturers, such as Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc., have followed the trend.

After America and Sega's headquarters separated from Japan's Sega, America and Sega began to replace Sega's global influence. After all, it was America and Sega that sold consoles.

At this moment, the Sega headquarters in America is also very busy. Peter Moore keeps answering the phone. The dealers and agents who used to ignore Sega consoles are now calling them one after another, trying to get Sega to ship them.

"Cash settlement, if you want to get the machine, you must settle in cash, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other hand. Sega consoles do not accept quarterly settlements, those damn losers!"

Peter Moore shouted to the supervisor of the Sega console, then picked up the phone and called the other side of the ocean.

"Fang, Sega console needs to increase production capacity, and I need to meet these orders!"

The person Peter Moore called was Fang Qiuyu, the president of the Domestic Star Wishes Foundation. The production line of Sega consoles has now been transferred from Nippon to the production base in Yanjing, and the Star Wishes Foundation is responsible for production.

After hanging up the phone, Peter Moore let out a sigh of relief. The recovery of the Sega console made him less stressed. Now Peter Moore is also under a lot of pressure. There are two big investors, Song Yang and Bill Gates, behind him.

Peter Moore didn't dare to relax.

With these two big financiers, it still can't become famous and can't bring the Sega console back to life, then it really has a reason!

"President Robbie Bach, I have said that as long as there are good games, there is definitely a market for Sega consoles."

Peter Moore turned his head and said to his partner Robibach. Now they are living together. Peter Moore represents Sierra and Robibach represents Microsoft. There is no infighting between Sierra and Microsoft. The relationship between the two is natural.

Not bad either.

"Of course," Robbbach raised his eyebrows, "Microsoft headquarters absolutely supports President Peter!"

Robbie Bach is in charge of the research and development of Sega consoles. The better the sales of Sega consoles, the more beneficial it will be for him! Regarding the sales of "StarCraft" and Sega consoles, the most beneficial one, besides Sierra Mountain, is Microsoft.

.

When the market opened the next day, Microsoft's stock price also took advantage of the craze for "game concept stocks" to slightly rise. Voices praising Bill Gates' investment vision also began to become louder.

"Microsoft should have invested in games a long time ago, but we are still too slow!"

At the Microsoft headquarters, during a break in a meeting, Bill Gates held some documents in his hand and proudly said to Ballmer and others on his left and right.

Recently, Microsoft has been doing a lot of good things. Netscape, which has been causing trouble for Microsoft, started to plummet after reports of huge losses. Netscape was a little overwhelmed and stopped chasing Microsoft.

And Bill Gates has led the investment in the game console business, and now sales are booming, which proves Bill Gates' investment vision and caused Microsoft's stock price to rise.

But what makes Bill Gates regretful is that Microsoft did not bet on the gaming industry. Looking at the sales report of "StarCraft" in his hand, Bill Gates was also a little envious. Microsoft was playing console games desperately just to break the market.

Circles, looking for new businesses, entering the Internet, investing in Sega consoles, also have the same purpose.
