Chapter 435: What I'm Saying Is True

"Blizzard's Grand Theft Auto is really fantastic!"

"yes! Each expansion is like a new game, a new world, with love and apocalypse. ”

"The sense of substitution in this game is simply nobody. ”

"I'm going to go to BlizzCon anyway! I'm looking forward to their new game!"

"My console is H-BOX, and I'm sorry that Micro Hard doesn't participate in BlizzCon. ”

"Haha, my host is HS4, as long as I participate in the BlizzCon Carnival, the coolest thing is that there is a venue at my doorstep!

"I heard that even if you stay at home, as long as you buy a genuine game from Blizzard or own an HS4 console, you can participate in BlizzCon. ”

"And what's going on? How do you participate at home?"

"Blizzard will use VR technology to make the situation in more than a dozen venues in the DLC of "Grand Theft Auto", there is VR-HS4, you can use VR to experience BlizzCon in person, the DEMO that can be downloaded in the exhibition, and the DLC can also be downloaded directly. Even if you don't have VR, you can still experience BlizzCon on the screen!"

Blizzard's technical level is really beyond the reach of other game companies!"

Netizens have made various comments on the Internet about the two expansions of "Grand Theft Auto" and BlizzCon.

……

Wang Qian used the DLC of "Grand Theft Auto" to tell the truth about the Sandani to the world, exposing the fig leaf of hypocrisy in the Western world, causing a sensation in the Western world, and making many Westerners who have always boasted of chivalry lose face.

While some Westerners have reflected on the matter, many more Westerners ...... Even some celebrities in the game industry are very angry with Wang Qian.

Among them is a director in charge of the host business of Microhard Group: Kafferty.

When asked by the host on a CNN episode what he thought of the "slander" and cultural infiltration of Westerners in "Grand Theft Auto: Sandani," Cafferty called the Chinese junk, and said they were basically a gang of goons and thugs, as they had been for the past 50 years.

The host then asked Cafferty: "Aren't you afraid that talking like this will affect the sales of micro hard in the Chinese market?"

Cafferty laughed, "What's in the thieves' den? they're just stealing the hard intellectual property." ”

As soon as Cafferty's remarks came out, public opinion in China couldn't help but be in an uproar, and the people across the country were extremely angry, strongly demanding that Cafferty and Micro Hard Company publicly apologize.

Unlike the Camacho incident last time, Cafferty refused to apologize, and Microhard remained silent.

At a reception, a reporter stopped Kafferi and asked him what he thought about the last remarks that caused outrage in Chinese public opinion, whether he would apologize to the Chinese people, and so on.

"I'm telling the truth, why apologize?" said Cafferty, who replied to reporters' questions, seemingly showing no remorse for what he had said.

After the Kaferty insulting incident, the Chinese people and the Chinese community abroad were extremely angry, even if Cafferty apologized, the Chinese would not necessarily forgive him, and they never thought that he had no remorse, which also angered the Chinese at home and abroad. More Chinese people have denounced Kafferi and Microhard on Weibo and foreign forums, and public opinion has become more and more hyped up about this incident.

But Microhard and Kafferi still didn't make any moves, and it was obvious that they didn't care much about the Chinese market, so they didn't take the Chinese people seriously at all.

It was at this time that Blizzard suddenly made an announcement.

The first item of the announcement is that more than a dozen DLCs for Grand Theft Auto will be released tomorrow.

Players all over the world cheered when they saw this announcement, and it was a holiday for players!

The second content of the announcement is because of the micro-hard insult incident, Blizzard decided to suspend the cooperation with the micro-hard H-BOX, H-BOX720, and the upcoming H-BOXONE series console platform, and the more than a dozen "Grand Theft Auto" DLC released tomorrow will not cover the micro-hard H-BOX series console platform, and all games in the future will no longer cover the micro-hard H-BOX series console platform.

Unless...... Micro Hard and Cafferty apologized to all Chinese people, and they had to be sincere enough.

In this life, Niso occupies 36 percent and 7 percent of the console market, and Micro Hard occupies 32 and 3 percent of the console market, which are the two giants of the console market, and the other 30% of the share is occupied by several other game console manufacturers, but they are not enough to pose a threat to Niso and Micro Hard.

Ten years ago, the console market was almost dominated by Nisso, accounting for more than 70% of the console market, and the slight hardware came from behind, using the advantages of capital and operating system, a large number of game manufacturers forcibly seized most of the share of the HS series, and it took eight years to push the H-BOX series to the second place in the console market, and it may surpass the HS series of Niso at any time.

Nisso sees that the console market is being eroded, but there is nothing it can do, whether the console sells well or not, mainly depends on whether the exclusive game is attractive enough, and the reason why many people buy consoles is because of those exclusive games that cannot be played on other platforms.

After Blizzard acquired Nisso, it announced the suspension of cooperation with Micro Hardware, and it is understandable to support its own console platform;

Coupled with this insulting incident, it is reasonable for Wang Qian to suspend and cooperate with micro-hardware.

You don't apologize? Okay, I'll impose economic sanctions on you!

After Blizzard's announcement, Micro Hardware responded with an announcement immediately.

"We were disappointed with Blizzard's choice, because games are esports and it's naΓ―ve to impose political views on sports. Blizzard's termination of cooperation with micro hardware, the interests of both parties will be damaged, the H-BOX series is a very mature, high market share of the console platform, Blizzard terminated the cooperation, the greater damage must be Blizzard itself, not the H-BOX platform. I would like to advise some of Blizzard's upper echelons not to be hot-headed and do things that they regret. ”

"In addition, I would like to inform you that Micro Hardware will exhibit our latest console at the Longke Game Show: H-BOXONE, which is an epoch-making console, which will start accepting pre-orders from tomorrow, but all users who pre-order a new console before the game show will receive a game gift package worth 1,000 dollars! We will also strive to make more and better exclusive games in the future to dedicate to players who have always supported us. ”

Microhard's announcement is obvious, it is very dismissive of Blizzard's approach, and it has no intention of apologizing for the insulting incident, and in addition, it has advertised for their new console.

Micro Hardware's H-BOXONE has been in the making for a long time, and its performance is a little higher than that of HS4, which came out half a year ago, and it was launched at this time to continue to compete with HS4 in the console market.

Micro hardware in this life is far inferior to the original world of Microsoft, game console is the most important profit growth point of micro hardware, for this console they have made a huge investment in the early stage, research and development, advertising, hardware production, etc., a total of billions of dollars of investment, at least to sell more than 5 million H-BOXONE console to recover the cost.

However, Wei Hard is not worried about recovering the cost at all, you must know that H-BOX720 is very successful, a total of 85.37 million hosts have been sold worldwide in a few years, such a huge loyal consumer group, a new machine, sales will definitely exceed this number, right?

Micro hardware is so confident in sales is supported by historical data, when the HS host came out, it was a machine dominance for several years, micro hardware first set foot in the host market, the sales of the first generation of HBOX reached 24.65 million units, but at that time and the main competitor HS2 sales were far away, at that time the total sales volume of HS2 host was 157.68 million.

Because of the HS generation of hosts, the HS2 host is deeply rooted and is like an insurmountable mountain in front of HBOX.

Then Microhard launched the H-BOX720, H-BOX720 creatively added two joysticks to the gamepad, and transplanted all the three traditional games on the computer to their H-BOX720, making the H-BOX720 a great success, with a total of 85.37 million units sold, while their competitor HS3 sold only 86.29 million units in the same period.

It can be seen from the sales volume of 157.68 million units of HS2 host that H-BOX720 has seized the market share that HS3 has lost.

If it weren't for the H-BOX720 quality problem, which gave HS3 a chance to breathe and regain some market share, in this battle between H-BOX host platform and HS host platform, micro hard will undoubtedly win overwhelmingly.

In the era of H-BOX720 and HS3 confrontation, Micro Hardware has always dominated the game console industry, H-BOX came out of the achievement system, HS followed by the trophy system, H-BOX Live is the first large-scale console network platform, and the H-BOX720 era will develop it on a large scale, and then Niso launched the PSN service;

Micro Hard first developed the XBLA indie game, then Niso developed the PSN indie game, and Micro Hard first developed the stick recess and trigger design, and then Niso developed the stick recess and trigger design...... From these perspectives, the H-BOX720 and HS3 generations are actually slightly hard and have been leading Niso forward.

Everyone can see that if the micro hard host does not have three red quality problems, it is now a well-deserved industry boss in the host market, and the new host H-BOXONE has been developed for several years, with huge investment and excellent performance, once launched, it will definitely immediately force the HS4 host to a dead end.

The sales target set by Micro Hardware for H-BOXONE is ...... More than 1000000 units, even more than the 15000000 units of the PS2 console, completely driving Nisol's HS series out of the console market.

In this case, how could Micro Hardware ignore the threat of a new game provider, Blizzard, to terminate its cooperation?
