Chapter 210: Hot Sales (Part II)
Steam is the world's largest genuine game platform, and it is quite a game store, and "Star War 2" is naturally on the shelves here. Because the quality of the game is top-notch, not only has it been reviewed, but it has also given the main recommendation position on the homepage around the world, although it is a digital version, but the global uniform price is 49.99 US dollars, which is not a low price.
PC players who can't buy the physical version, most of them download it here, as long as the network speed is fast, more than 30 G of Wen jiàn can also be played......
Of course, to put it mildly, even if it is the Internet speed of the US imperialists, the 32g size of the article is still a little unbearable. So the final end also adopts the download mode of the domestic digital version.,Download the first part of the 10 G can be played.,The follow-up part can be supplemented and downloaded through the guò game side.。
Players are quite interested in this game, and the results are also good, plus the pre-order half a month ago, within 8 hours of the game's launch, the Star God of War has been on the first place in this week's sales list.
Steam does not provide users with accurate sales volumes, but the final backend can see that 200,000 copies have been sold on the Steam platform 8 hours after launch.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's not, it's a very good number, and at $50 per copy, it's already accumulated $10 million in sales in just eight hours, which is a very good result.
"Star War 2" can achieve such results, in addition to its own quality and fame, more importantly, it supports a relatively comprehensive range of languages and systems, and various platforms are listed simultaneously, unlike some games that are released on the console system for a year, or even longer before being released on PC, at that time everyone's freshness is gone, and the sales volume is naturally poor." This is Steam's official analysis.
In the world of single-player games, PC games are somewhat niche compared to console games. A triple-A game masterpiece can sell 1 million sets on the Steam platform, which is already a very good number, and Steam has only two games with tens of millions of sales so far. They are Survival Journey and The Elder Scrolls.
There is a joke in the gaming world: there are many PC users, and there are many console buyers.
It's no wonder that game manufacturers develop consoles first, and PCs are always put last.
Console users are more loyal to stand-alone games, while PCs are more inclined to play free-to-play online games. For a single machine, the host is still the big one, and the loyal gamers are still hundreds of millions of players, and the market is naturally huge.
And the main feature of console games is: cool! Stimulate!
Undoubtedly, "God of War 2" is a high-quality game that can make players feel good, and the creativity from the alien is novel enough to capture the hearts of all players in an instant. Naturally, they are willing to pay for it.
"Korean agents have booked 300,000 sets."
"Japanese agents have booked 800,000 sets."
"U.S. agent pre-orders 1.5 million ......"
It's late at night, but the final end is still busy, shipping, coordinating orders, counting sales, keeping an eye on production, and the entire final end building is brightly lit. Although everyone was so tired that they almost felt that their bodies were not their own, they still had satisfied smiles on their faces.
As soon as God of War 2 comes out, it is all invincible!
The big sale is a foregone conclusion, and everyone now just wants to know how many games the company sold on the first day of listing.
"First of all, the domestic sales. 1.8 million sets of self-operated reservations, 300,000 self-operated inventory, and 400,000 sets of digital versions, including 200,000 sales on the joint platform. Retailers also sold 80% of their inventory, or about 500,000 units. A total of 3 million units were sold in China in 24 hours, with sales of 420 million yuan. Su was smiling when he spoke, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It just doesn't fit together.
"200,000 units were sold in Korea, 400,000 units were sold in Japan, and 900,000 units were sold in the United States. United Kingdom...... A total of 2.8 million units were sold overseas, with sales reaching US$180 million. Because of the time difference, this is not a 24-hour number, and the exact number of 24 hours will not be fully counted until noon tomorrow, and it is conservatively estimated that it can exceed 200 million US dollars. ”
Up to now, the stand-alone game of "Star War 2" has sold a total of 5.8 million sets worldwide, with sales of 250 million US dollars and 1.5 billion yuan! Our revenue is about 60%, which means that we have now earned at least 900 million RMB. ”
"Bang Bang !!" The applause lasted for a long time, and some people were so excited that they almost fainted, and the sales volume was simply too exciting.
Su Zhi also gave everyone a standing ovation.
That's an incredible number, and it's an excellent number in the world.
But there is still a long way to go to the top, "GTA5" (Grand Theft Auto 5) sold 11.21 million copies on the first day of release, setting a staggering sales record of $800 million.
In addition, the first day of this release is a warm-up month of concentrated outbreaks, and the box office of the movie, tomorrow's sales will fall, "Star War 2" can sell 15 million sets in the entire life cycle of the single machine is already a very success, it is impossible to 5.8 million copies per day, otherwise it will not be against the sky.
"Although this is an excellent result, compared with foreign super game companies, we obviously do not do enough. "Grand Theft Auto 5" debuted on only PS3 and X360 platforms, but it recorded 11.21 million copies sold in 24 hours and $800 million in sales, our game is not worse than them, and it covers almost all console platforms and PC, compared to them, but there is still such a big distance, which shows that we are not good enough. ”
Su said that what people are most afraid of living in this world is contrast, but there must be contrast.
If you really want to talk about it, it's not just the gap on the platform, "God of War 2" can achieve such sales, more than half of it is because of the amazing explosion of the Chinese market, which set a miracle of 3 million copies sold on the first day, but Grand Theft Auto is not available in China.
Excluding the sales volume of the Chinese part, the sales volume of the Star God of War is only 2.8 million, which is even more different from others.
Hearing the boss's words, everyone's excited mood calmed down a lot. Indeed, they can actually do better, just because of insufficient preparation, but also made a lot of mistakes, as well as the immaturity of the channel, which will affect the sales performance.
"But it doesn't matter, it's the first time we've done it, we don't have enough experience, it's good to have this kind of result. In the future, we will have God of War 3, or other games, I believe that next time we can do better! Su was the most encouraged, and in a few words, everyone was cheered up.
"In addition, our animated film is more than two months away, and at that time, the game can bring popularity to the movie, and in the same way, the movie can bring users to the game."
"Then there is the launch of the online game version, which is bound to be popular again. We must seize these two opportunities to promote the stand-alone game and strive for greater sales. ”
"I discussed it with Director Su and felt that we needed to set our goals higher and strive to sell more than 30 million sets of God of War 2 during its life cycle...... Okay, it's not early, everyone goes back to rest, there is still a lot of work to be done tomorrow. ”
After a few months of tempering, even if there is no one by his side to guide, Su Zhi can now be on his own, and no one dares to despise this young boss anymore.
Vice President Ye's eyes were a little complicated, but he packed up his things and left without saying anything.
In the end, only Su Shi and Zhang Yan were left in the conference room, they needed to make a final summary, and Zhang Yan also had to send out the posters made by the art department to the official account of Guò Weibo. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and of course all fans should be notified of such good news to make everyone happy.
And this can also increase the amount of exposure, so as to achieve the effect of stimulating sales
