Chapter 128: Hot Sales
With the joint press conference of Microsoft and Sony, everyone realized that Zhengdao Technology will probably never appear in the U.S. and Japanese markets, and the same will not appear, as well as holographic TVs.
Although the cohesive force of the player groups in the United States and Japan broke out a few days ago surprised various media, once Microsoft, which has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and Sony, which has a market value of tens of billions of dollars, make up their minds, players cannot change it anyway.
So, as time goes by, after seeing that Microsoft and Sony are determined to boycott the Asgard console and holographic TV, players have also died of heart, and can only curse a word of Microsoft Sony's domineering on the Internet from time to time.
However, just because gamers can't help it doesn't mean that those game developers can't help it.
Seeing that the relationship between Zhengdao Technology and Microsoft and Sony is gradually reaching a freezing point, these game developers finally can't sit still.
Of course, the loss of the two big game markets in the United States and Japan is a great disadvantage for the Asgard console, but in addition to the United States and Japan, there are also Europe, and Oceania, and these markets are also tens of millions together.
Such a large market was something that game developers could not give up no matter what, so they quickly banded together to negotiate with Microsoft Sony.
The content of the negotiation is simple, that is, the two companies will fully liberalize the restrictions on the game exclusivity agreement, and the game companies will be free to choose the console camp.
Faced with joint negotiations with almost all game developers, Microsoft and Sony were unable to stand up and agreed to each other's request without much prevarication, allowing them to start developing holographic versions of the game.
And just as these game developers were cheering that they had finally won the negotiations with Microsoft Sony, Capcom, which had long since left Microsoft Sony, ushered in its own spring.
……
With the big sales of the Asgard console in China, the installed capacity of Capcom games is also rising, especially with the opening of the cloud gaming platform of the Asgard console, which has greatly reduced the cost of players to download the game, so it has lowered the threshold for players to enter the game in disguise, so that players can try more different types of games.
As the only large-scale game developer that cooperates with the Asgard console, Capcom's games have naturally become the first choice for Chinese players, whether it is "Street Fighter", "Onimusha", "Devil May Cry" or "Resident Evil", each game has almost reached at least 800,000 installed bases.
According to the calculation of 100 yuan per game, Capcom has earned at least more than 500 million yuan in the past two weeks, which is 8 billion yen when converted into yen!
And that's just two weeks' worth of earnings.
When Ryozo Tsujimoto learned about the sum of the two weeks' earnings, he almost cried with excitement, even on XBOX and PS4, Capcom rarely made such huge gains.
However, it was clear that Ryozo Tsujimoto was still happy a little early, and when the sales volume of the Asgard console in the European market came out, he really realized how right his decision was in the first place-
On April 8, 2017, Asgard's host and holographic TV officially landed in European countries.
48 hours later, the United Kingdom announced that the sales volume of the Asgard console officially broke the record of 250,000 PS4 sales in 48 hours four years ago, and successfully increased this record by 60,000 units to 310,000 sales!
At the same time, France also announced that the sales volume of Asgard consoles in France officially exceeded 260,000.
Due to the stricter game policy restrictions in Germany compared to other countries, the sales volume of the Asgard console does not reach the figures of the United Kingdom and France, but it is enough to have 150,000 units.
In addition, Spain, Italy, Portugal and other countries announced at the same time that the sales volume of Asgard consoles exceeded 100,000 units.
According to statistics, 48 hours after the Asgard console landed in Europe, its total sales exceeded 1.2 million units, even more than the domestic sales in China.
A few days later, after the Asgard console landed in Oceania, it also set new records for various game consoles, and the total sales in Australia and New Zealand also exceeded 200,000 units.
A whole week after the Asgard host stepped out of the country, Dao Technology officially announced that the foreign sales volume of the Asgard host exceeded 2 million units!
The popularity of foreign countries, especially the video recorded by a foreign netizen of a British player queuing up for thousands of kilometers on the street to buy the Asgard console, has made domestic players have a strong sense of national pride, which in turn continues to stimulate the sales of the Asgard console in China.
As a result, the Asgard host in the domestic market has also ushered in another outbreak.
When Dao Technology counted again a month later, it was shocked to find that in terms of the global host market, the sales volume of the Asgard host has officially exceeded 6 million units!
Converted into RMB, the revenue of game consoles alone has reached 15 billion RMB!
……
It was only then that Ryozo Tsujimoto truly realized that his choice to join the Asgard host camp half a year ago was undoubtedly the wisest decision in his life.
The sales of 6 million units of the Asgard console have brought more than 25 million games to Capcom, and when converted into yen, this number has exceeded 40 billion!
Taking advantage of this east wind, Capcom announced that it will develop a new action game, which has better game effects, can allow players to have a good game experience, and can also better show the holographic performance of the Asgard console.
However, compared to Capcom, which is proud of the spring breeze, other game developers are not, they are called envy, jealousy and hatred.
In particular, Kushiro Takagi of Bandai Namco, if he regrets that he can turn into water, he already owns the entire Pacific Ocean.
But who made them not optimistic about Zhengdao Technology at the beginning, in addition to continuing to increase efforts to urge technicians to develop the corresponding holographic game version, the regret in their hearts can only be left to themselves to taste slowly.
……
Just when everyone was shocked that the sales volume of the Asgard console reached 6 million units, which made countless people stunned, someone noticed that at the same time as the announcement of the host sales volume of Daodao Technology, Yuwai Technology quietly announced the sales figures of holographic TVs around the world on its own website.
And this number scared everyone stupid - 32.86 million units!
If you convert this figure into RMB - 98.5 billion!
Nearly 100 billion RMB in sales!
And this is only the result of less than two months of holographic TV.
In a trance, everyone seemed to see that a giant with monopoly potential was rising.
And in the face of the unreasonable sales of holographic TV, other TV manufacturers around the world have said that they are very hurt, especially their stock price, which is very hurt......
The decline of 10% is considered good, more TV manufacturers, such as Sony and Samsung, etc., have fallen by at least 25%, and some TV manufacturers in China have been forced to almost collapse by Yuwai Technology.
As for those who originally planned to enter the TV field, the Internet companies that seized the so-called Internet entrance in the living room looked at this situation, yes, I still sell my mobile phone, the water in the TV field is so deep, so muddy, and the baby is so afraid.
