Chapter 1419 The account is not calculated like this
Is my existence just to stick to the rules?
Sun Peng didn’t believe it!
Even though Chen Fengzhi and Chen Maolin kept analyzing to him the sales of Chinese domestic games and the sales of 3A masterpieces from major foreign companies in order to dispel his unrealistic ideas, Sun Peng basically refused to listen!
One million sales in the first month? Three million total sales?
Perhaps for a domestic RPG game, this is already a very amazing achievement. Just like classic IPs such as Fairy Sword and Ancient Sword on Earth, a total sales of one million is actually quite satisfactory.
And don’t forget, this is another world!
This is a world where China's economy is more developed, people are richer, and the number of single-player players is greater!
Chinese stand-alone games on earth have actually had opportunities. For example, when "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" came out, martial arts and fairy tale games were quite popular, such as the "Swordsman Love" series, etc. At that time,
The technical gap between domestic stand-alone machines and overseas major manufacturers is not that big. Sun Peng once watched a video comparing the graphics of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and the "Tomb Raider" series...
In the beginning, everyone was pretty much the same.
In this comparison video on site B, it is obvious that the level was the same in the first generation, which was unsightly. But later, when Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider" became more and more beautiful and exquisite, domestically produced
The progress of the immortal sword was extremely slow, and was finally completely crushed!
Without capital investment, so-called technological innovation is nothing more than a castle in the air.
However……
Piracy that started in the 1990s and lasted for more than ten years until the beginning of the 21st century completely ruined everything. Even if the domestic games at that time were priced at only tens of dollars, they were still not something that young players could afford or were willing to do.
Therefore, when the Internet boom came, game companies that could not make money in the stand-alone field quickly turned their attention to online games, as well as mobile games that came out later but were more profitable...
The times have dictated that there is nothing we can do.
So while "GTA 5" has sold hundreds of millions of copies, and "The Witcher 3" from a small Polish company has won tens of millions of fans, domestic stand-alone games are still lingering at the lowest point, struggling in degeneration, and can only sell dozens of copies.
Wanfen’s games are a huge success, but at the same time, online games and mobile games are booming, with their market share ranking first in the world!
According to some Chinese single-player players, this situation is caused by Chinese people’s love of junk games.
Of course, Sun Peng's thoughts are not that simple. After all, as he gets older and sees more things, he can see deeper things. The simplest example is the computers of Chinese players in Europe, America, Japan and Korea.
Players can freely update their configurations according to their favorite games, but what about domestic players?
You must know that in that era, games were a scourge in the eyes of parents!
So if you are either a student or a young person who has just started working, it would be good if your computer can afford to play online games with low requirements. Do you dare to think about those stand-alone masterpieces that require extremely high CPU, memory and graphics cards?
Not to mention that after you spent thousands to equip a computer, you still have to spend money on games!
There are often hundreds of stand-alone games, but only a few people are willing to spend money. So looking back on when he was more passionate about games, Sun Peng naturally understood the difficulties of those stand-alone game companies, and also understood why China's stand-alone games have always been
The reason why I can’t stand up...
But in this world, things are different.
China's economy is much better than that of China on earth. At the same time, due to the progress and development of the domestic semiconductor industry, the price of computer hardware is relatively lower. Of course, more importantly, parents in this world are no longer afraid of games.
Like snakes and scorpions, they maintain a relatively open attitude.
The scale of the stand-alone market is much larger than that on the earth!
Sun Peng once read an article on the Internet in his last life, which recorded the total volume of China's stand-alone market. In 2017, the total sales volume was only 150 million yuan, and the top 50 total sales were 130 million yuan.
Wan, just pick a similar online game or mobile game and you can blast it to the max!
This market situation is definitely unhealthy.
But in this world, let alone the annual sales of domestic stand-alone machines that are dozens of times higher than those on the planet, the sales of well-known IPs from major international manufacturers can explode when they are first launched in China!
China's single-game potential is so great, Lao Bai has nearly 100 million fans, and the development of domestic martial arts culture is in full swing. Why did "Lao Bai's Legend of Heroes" only sell 400,000 copies on its first day?
To be honest, Sun Peng was very unconvinced!
So in the next half day, Sun Peng didn't go anywhere. He stared directly at the backstage of Lao Bai's studio, paying attention to the sales of "Lao Bai's Heroes' Legend of Sword, Enemy and Enmity"... No, to be precise
, it should just be the number of downloads and prepaid amounts.
In the first hour after the download was opened, the number of people who connected exceeded 14,000, and the number of people who paid was as high as 4,100.
Five hours after the download opened, the number of downloaders exceeded 40,000, and the number of paid users exceeded 11,000.
Eight hours after the download opened, the two numbers were 74,000 and 21,000 respectively!
"School is over, get off work is over, and get off work has finally begun!"
Seeing the two numbers that started to grow faster, Chen Maolin suddenly beamed with joy and said happily: "If nothing else happens, the peak of downloads and payments will appear after ten o'clock in the evening... This is also the fastest Internet speed in many people's homes.
when!"
Regarding Chen Maolin's words, Chen Fengzhi also deeply agreed: "At twelve o'clock, the number of downloads will definitely exceed 100,000!!"
"Boss, this is just our data, right?"
Looking at the numbers that kept jumping up on the screen, Sun Peng frowned and said: "What do you think the situation on the TT gaming platform will be like? Will it be higher than us or lower than us?"
"this……"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Maolin did not speak, but looked in the direction of Chen Fengzhi.
"If nothing else, it should be higher than us!"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Fengzhi said with great certainty: "After all, they have a two-hour trial that allows you to get a refund if you are not satisfied, but our Laobai Studio does not have it! If you buy it, you buy it, and there is no way to refund it...
...So unless you are a die-hard fan or don’t know the regulations of TT, you generally won’t come to the official website to buy games.”
This is the advantage of having a big family and a big business.
In order to attract more players, the tt game platform has implemented a refund policy within two hours like foreign platforms. It is undoubtedly very attractive. For many people, two hours is enough for them to watch.
You can judge whether you like a game based on its quality.
But after listening to what they said, Sun Peng was pleasantly surprised but also confused: "That's wrong! You said that the sales volume of 400,000 on the first day was already very good, but looking at the current situation, the download volume can be exceeded in half a day
Hundreds of thousands, won’t our platform alone be able to exceed this number by three nights in three days?”
"this……"
Looking at Sun Peng who looked puzzled, Chen Fengzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and explained helplessly: "Boss, that's not how the accounts are calculated..."
