Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 582 A gradual reversal of the situation
Chapter 582 The gradually reversing situation

˜Happy Games is also mentally prepared for the latest sales data of football games in Europe.
This time there is a strong opponent who is willing to spend money. Unless you also spend money together, you will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle.
Zhu Youxing’s original purpose was to force YOO to pay more money, and it was enough to achieve this purpose.
As for the fact that his initial sales were not that good due to weak publicity, Zhu Youxing did not care.
Even if the Super Football Contest cannot win the duel between football games, several of his subsequent works have already opened up sales. All that is left is to slowly watch the sales of the games increase.
Compared to the sales of the Super Football Tournament, the sales of game consoles are of greater concern.
Now that Surui Electronics has taken the lead by relying on YOO's large investment, Zhuyouxing should consider how to defeat such an opponent.
Now Suri Electronics is very satisfied with the profits in Europe, and Suri Electronics is ready to try to compete with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
But Shury Electronics’ rival Takeyusei no longer cares much about it. Unless the opponent can also produce at least three or four Miyamoto-level game producers, it will be difficult for them to make a comeback.
Now Zhuyouxing is more concerned about the upcoming mobile Internet era.
The mobile Internet era is the arrival of spring and a new trend for mobile games, but it is a big hurdle for home game consoles and handheld games.
The impact of the mobile Internet almost caused the handheld console market to collapse in an instant within a few years. Even Nintendo's game development capabilities at the time were so terrifying that they could not resist the general trend.
But all this is because manufacturers such as Nintendo were not prepared at the beginning and were completely caught off guard by the mobile Internet. If they had been prepared, the situation might have been completely different.
Under the supervision of Zhu Youxing, the development of Counter-Strike has come to an end. The development team is now addicted to it. If they don't remember that they have to go to work, they don't even remember that the game is about to be released.
Counter-Strike is a game that kills all over the world. It can be regarded as defining the standard of first-person shooting games. The subsequent Call of Duty and Battlefield series can only be regarded as imitators.
The development of Need for Speed is also very fast, but it will take some time before the release. Because of the adjustment of racing values and some preparations made by Bamboo Games for future game development, their development is slightly delayed.
Zhu Yuxing originally planned to wait for the release of the ninth part of Need for Speed and then temporarily stop it, allowing Need for Speed to stay at its peak period. Although there are also very exciting works in Need for Speed later, open world games became very popular later. It is also difficult to make breakthroughs under such circumstances.
Bamboo Games directly left all the settings from the development to the ninth Need for Speed to the development team, allowing them to develop one every year, and in the process, they continued to learn how to make racing games, laying the foundation for future Bamboo Games. Xingxing is preparing to launch the Forza Racing series to pave the way.
Gunball is the three main development contents of the American team, Super Soccer, Counter-Strike and Need for Speed.
On the Japanese side, Takeyusei has prepared a new Mario work, as well as the first part of Resident Evil and the second part of Monster Hunter. Of course, according to the unparalleled tradition of Yusei Electronic Entertainment, the third The second Monster Hunter movie is definitely the third one.
Happily enough, Monster Hunter Part 3 can be regarded as another attempt at transformation, an attempt to increase the audience.
For players, the two years of 2003 and 2004 were simply the happiest years.
Because excellent works have emerged one after another in the past two years.
From the wonderful game Stardew Valley created by just one person, to the multiple mega-productions produced by major companies, every game development company is trying their best to make their games look more attractive.
Technical capabilities, gameplay, and performance of game consoles have also soared rapidly during this period.
2003 and 2004 in this world are like carnival years for players, and there are games worth looking forward to every moment.
Even Surui Electronics has produced several high-quality games that can be rated as four and a half stars, but they are still a little bit behind the masterpieces, and they are still inferior to the five-star games from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Quite a few.
In mid-2004, Suri Electronics' second highly anticipated game for the European market was officially released. It was a standard shooting game, and it learned from Brown Entertainment's war shooting games and imitated Yuxing Electronics. Doom Entertainment has developed a sci-fi shooting game, which is very exciting in terms of shooting experience. This shows that the development team has put their heart and soul into it.
And because FIFA has opened the European market before, European players have a good impression of Surui Electronics' games. This shooting game also sold well from the beginning. However, because the marketing was slightly weaker than FIFA, the sales did not reach the first level. million per week, but the result also reached 800,000 in the first week, which is also a very good result.
With this, Changweiyu felt even more proud.
It’s just that the game only had good results in the first week, and then the sales of the game began to decline precipitously.
As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, the Super Football Competition, which was previously at a disadvantage, is increasing with the increase in the installed capacity of GS1 game consoles in the European market. Now it can still contribute more than 300,000 game sales every week, which is very good. lasting.
FIFA’s sales have probably stalled at around two million, while Super Soccer surpassed FIFA’s sales about ten weeks after its release.
But no one has compiled this data specifically.
However, all stores that are selling game consoles can slowly notice that more and more people are discussing Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's game consoles and games, and more and more people want to buy them.
Suri Electronics and its many games are gradually showing signs of weakness.
These smart store owners naturally know what kind of games to choose and put on their front shelves.
“Come on, come on, buy it and leave. This is the venue for our first super football competition in Zhuanzhuan Bar. The winning player will be rewarded with a barrel of beer every day from our bar for a year!”
In a remote town in Europe, the only bar in the town is very busy at this moment.
A group of gangsters who seemed to have nothing to do gathered here. Not only that, there were also many people who skipped work and came here to join in the fun.
Only the most solemn football matches can attract so many people's attention.
