Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 969 Explosive sales
Chapter 969 Explosive Sales
969
The Summer Sale is the conscience of modern video games!
With the summer sale, I suddenly feel that my previous electronic ED has also been cured!
Hold on, the above, I’m afraid what you’re curing is not electronic ED, but the satisfaction of consumer desires.
Video game players left messages in various places expressing their satisfaction with the summer sale.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has also become the hottest topic recently.
Whether you are a loyal player of video games or not, you all know that there is such a sale festival.
On the first day, sales on the Battle.net platform and console game stores combined totaled $1 billion.
If calculated based on the average sales price of a 3A game at a sale festival of about 20 US dollars, this means that more than 50 million copies of the game were sold in one day.
However, it is not these top-level games that sell the most.
The most sold games are those previously unknown mid-cost games, as well as some independent games.
These mid-cost game and independent game developers did not refuse Zhuyouxing’s invitation.
On the one hand, they rely on Youxing Electronic Entertainment to make money, so they naturally believe that they are not qualified to bargain with such a big shot. They are also worried that if they refuse, Youxing Electronic Entertainment will reduce the promotion weight of their games in the future.
However, this kind of thing can only be a void laning, and Zhu Youxing doesn't care about it at all.
Because he believes in the influence of special sales.
Especially when the overall world economy is in a downturn, people are even less resistant to such discounts.
So these developers simply gave all the pricing power to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
These games are generally only 30 to 40% of the original price, and the price of these games is not high to begin with.
The money for one original top-level game can probably buy a dozen of these games.
There is another kind of person in this world who has a collecting habit.
When you see that your game inventory is hundreds or even thousands, you will feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
When I saw these independent games and mid-cost games with good reviews and generous discounts, I didn’t hesitate much and placed an order very decisively.
"Aiko! Aiko! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! Oto-chan! Get up quickly! Something bad has happened!"
In the house shared by three triathletes, Aiko, Kazumi, and Otochan, Kazumi suddenly got up early and uncharacteristically, and then frantically knocked on the doors of Aiko and Otochan.
Originally last night, the three of them were studying the latest game development plan.
It’s just that Kazumi fell asleep on the table first because she couldn’t resist the sleepiness. Later, Oto-chan and Aiko discussed the direction of the next game development together.
However, there will definitely be no results in one night, so at about three o'clock in the middle of the night, the two decided to discuss it again after waking up tomorrow, and also called a few people they hired to discuss it again.
Then Aiko and Oto-chan helped Kazumi back to her room, and then they also went back to sleep.
They both planned to wait until noon tomorrow to get up, but Kazumi woke them up in a very unusual way.
In the past, this kind of thing almost never happened in Harmonicare.
Oto-chan was very dissatisfied. After opening the door, she saw Kazumi rushing in.
“Hemei, what are you doing?!”
Oto-chan is still a little tired of getting out of bed now. She is wearing a thin white pajamas and looks at the intrusion of Kazumi with dissatisfaction.
He Mei rushed in and said immediately: "Turn on the computer, our game sales have exploded! The money in the background is increasing!"
Money increases.
This seems to be some kind of keyword that activates Yinjiang, and his eyes that were a little angry just now brightened up immediately.
Aiko also walked out of the house and happened to hear Kazumi yelling in Oto-chan's room. She also came over curiously and heard what Kazumi was shouting just now.
“Money? What money increases?”
“Sale! Sale! We sold a lot of games in the sale!”
After He Mei’s reminder, the other two people suddenly understood.
Immediately afterwards, Yinjiang almost rushed to his desk, turned on the computer, and entered the backend of the official sales and distribution platform of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
This distribution backend is a channel set up by Youxing Electronic Entertainment specifically for independent game developers.
Through this channel, independent game developers can even publish their games without going through game publishers.
It’s just that without a game publisher, some special channel benefits for game distribution cannot be enjoyed.
But that’s not a big deal for this Iron Triangle.
After all, their teacher is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. If they really want to use distribution channels, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself is the top one.
Click to enter the background data page, and then Yinjiang and Aiko saw data that they would never forget in their lives.
Farm Defense, that was the first video game they made that truly belonged to them.
This game has sold a lot of sales because it rode on the popularity of independent games and the farming trend.
The final sales volume probably stopped at around 1.3 million, which is considered a leader among independent games.
Now, after one night of sales, this game has sold more than 800,000 copies on the three major platforms of Battle.net, home consoles and handheld consoles.
This game sells for two dollars during the discount period, which may not even be enough for a breakfast for people in many places.
But if buying a game can bring you happiness for a long time, it is still quite cost-effective.
So these people didn’t hesitate to buy it.
Especially, the painting style of this farm defense battle is quite cartoony and cute. People of all ages, men, women and children like this style of painting very much, which also adds a lot of color to this game.
“This is... a game we make?”
Yinjiang looked at the sales data in disbelief.
The amount of games sold is secondary. The important thing is that after doing this, the sales volume of their first game has now directly reached two million.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment only charges a small service fee this time, and all the remaining money will go into the accounts of the three people.
And this is just one of the games they produced.
Death Cell, because Yuxing Electronic Entertainment participated in the production, both parties share the sales. However, in order to promote this summer sale, and Zhuyusing didn't care about the money at all, he simply canceled his share of the share. It's all exchanged for discounts, making the full version of Dead Cells plus several expansion packs available for only four dollars.
With just four dollars, you can experience a wonderful Galaxy City game with more than 100 hours on the game market, but no one who is interested in Galaxy City-type games can refuse it.
