Chapter 195 Why didn’t you say that earlier…
The Electronic Entertainment Expo lasts for more than just one day.
After the three major console manufacturers announce their new consoles, the major game companies will hold press conferences and game shows.
Lin Yao followed the first day, and then she didn’t stay up late, but watched the media reports on the second day.
In general,
this exhibition can be described as a battle between dragons and tigers.
The dividends of "Breakout" have been reaped for a year, and they are almost gone.
The major game manufacturers have also announced their own masterpieces, and both the graphics and gameplay are moving closer to "Breakout".
Of course, it’s not just masterpieces, there are also many independent games with very unique styles and gameplay.
Lin Yao was also eye-opening.
But.
I don’t know why.
Maybe it’s because of its special temperament.
Although masterpieces are frequently released, many people still remember "Journey", which was briefly unveiled at the console manufacturer’s press conference on the first day.
In addition to the new consoles launched by the three major console manufacturers, the discussion on the second day also included discussions on games, and "Journey" also occupied a place.
Many players, both overseas and domestic, are asking what kind of game this is. The graphics are so good, which company made it?
And
the answer to this question is actually very obvious.
Not to mention that the Bluestar Engine logo at the beginning of the game trailer is very conspicuous. Now this game is not only available on the console platform, but also listed in the "coming soon" column of the Vaporwave game platform.
Many players quickly gave the answer.
Independent game, co-produced by Linmu Studio.
As soon as the answer came out, the players immediately realized the name of
Linmu Studio. Linmu Studio.
That's fine.
After a brief fall from the altar, Linmu Studio seems to have returned to the altar because of the resurgence of new games...
Time came to June 20th.
The three major consoles were released one after another.
But the situation was completely different.
Peria's new game console Peria New 1 sold nearly 500,000 units on the first day.
It ranked first.
Bushnell's first-day sales were not even 100,000...
It was miserable.
The three major console manufacturers have similar machine prices. Bushnell did not play the game of bundling sales and high pricing. It ended up in such a disastrous defeat. It can only be said that there are indeed big problems in the game.
Many media have said that
Bushnell may be finished.
Of course, they did not say it so directly, but just said that there is a promising future...
But who can't see that Bushnell, the earliest game console company, is indeed doomed.
In the president's office of Bushnell, President Adams looked at the sales data and reports, slumped in his chair, and sighed: "It's over, it's over..."
His subordinate George stood in front of the work desk and felt a little reluctant: "Boss, in fact, we haven't lost yet. We can acquire some first-party game studios, and then rely on exclusivity to reverse the decline..."
"You say it easily..."
"It's not easy to say, you also know that the battle period for consoles is not now, but in the middle and late stages."
"..."
Adams did not reply, but looked at the computer screen, holding the mouse and reading the news again and again, as if thinking.
Then he kept looking.
Suddenly, a piece of news jumped out.
The news is quite simple. Their opponent Peria may want to consolidate its advantage and give confidence to the game developers who log in to their own console platform.
In addition to the console sales,
they also released the sales of the escort masterpieces on the first day.
Because it is a new console, the sales of the escort masterpieces are basically the same as those of the console game platform. After all, you can't just buy a game console and leave it there, right?
As for backward compatibility
, the previous game screen is obviously behind this new work.
And in the game sales data they released.
Although "Journey" is not an escort masterpiece, it is just a third-party work that is also logged in to PC.
But because of its stunning appearance at the exhibition.
It still sold 200,000 copies...
on the first day...
Seeing the name of the game.
Adams was a little surprised. This game has sold a lot of copies, but why haven't he heard of it?
It seems that the big companies he has contacted don't have such works?
Then he went to check.
It doesn't matter if he checked.
He sat up in shock from his dying illness, raised his head abruptly, and looked at George:
"...What is this "Journey"? Linmu Studio? The exclusive game they made for Peria?"
He looked at George expectantly, hoping to hear that it was an exclusive game.
This would make him feel better. He
could also curse Linmu Studio.
"..."
But George remained silent, not daring to say anything, not daring to hit his young boss again.
"...Could this be the new game that Linmu Studio said would be exclusive to our platform?"
Seeing George not speaking, Adams vaguely guessed something.
He looked at him relentlessly and continued to ask.
George had no choice but to say, "It is indeed the game that said it was exclusive to our platform... It came from the Greenlight Project of the Linmu Studio game platform..."
"..."
Adams was stunned when he heard the exact answer.
After a long time,
he murmured, "WTF..."
He was a little tearful.
No,
why didn't anyone tell me that it was such a game.
You should have told me earlier. If you said that it could sell 200,000 on the first day, I would have sold everything I had to get this game on my own console platform.
It's not so bad now. Not only can the console not be sold, but none of the games have received attention...
...
Adams's if is actually quite unreasonable.
The sales of the game are also related to the sales of the console. If Peria didn't have a huge lineup of games that attracted many players, "Journey" wouldn't have sold so many copies.
His regret didn't make much sense. If
"Journey" was put on their console platform, it might not have sold so many copies on the first day.
"Journey" can be used as a bonus, a dessert, but as a escort masterpiece, it is still a little bit lacking.
Of course.
Everyone understands the truth.
But for a boss who feels that his company is doomed... it is normal for him to complain about everything.
Moreover, the fact that "Journey" was able to sell so many copies on the first day, although it is related to the platform, it is not fair to say that it has nothing to do with the game.
After learning about the specific sales volume.
On the same day.
Peria raised the level of publicity for "Journey", which is already a very good result.
As the producer of "Journey", Cheng Yiran was even more happy after learning about the specific sales volume of the game.
He could never have imagined that
his game could finally be sold on the console, and it could sell more than 200,000 copies, and it was on the first day!
He immediately called Lin Yao, shared his joy, and thanked Lin Yao.
Lin Yao was also very happy.
Half of her was happy that the other party's game was sold.
The other half was... the sign of her own Greenlight Project was established.
