Chapter 971 DC3 Backward Compatible

Speaking Mandarin from Beijing, the mainland tourists, who look like high-income intellectuals and mainland elites, were originally the favorite consumer group of Hong Kong stores.

It's a pity that the game console was not only not sold, but also ridiculed by them, of course, the Microsoft clerk couldn't hang his face, and trembled angrily, but there was no way to stop it, he could only watch Lin Zhihong and others walk away, and he stomped his feet in the back, and scolded a few words of "locusts" in pieces.

"Seeing this situation, it is impossible for the global sales of Xbox360 to exceed 200,000 on Saturdays and Sundays, and I have asked someone to count it, and since the release of our information, the number of potential customers who hesitate has increased."

"You still said 200,000, it's too optimistic, I bet it will definitely not exceed 100,000! The lost sales of Xbox360 will basically be converted into DC3 additions. ”

"I bet 50,000 and I believe Microsoft won't sell more than 50,000 today! As soon as DC3 comes out, Xbox360 really can't watch it! ”

"Then I'll bet 25,000......"

Everyone's laughter is getting louder and louder, this bet is getting more and more outrageous, Yang Yun shook his head with a smile, no matter how bad Xbox360 is, it can't be less than 50,000 units sold, that's dozens of countries around the world are selling, and hundreds of Microsoft franchise stores are vigorously promoting it!

"Okay, don't guess, I said it doesn't make sense to guess. Yongping, the second news is not busy putting it out, I want to see Microsoft's reaction. ”

Yang Yun ended the meeting, he had heard a summary of the news from all over the world, and he had obtained the number of reservations on the official website. On the first day of the DC3, the number of reservations on the official website exceeded 500,000 units, which is not ideal. But far more than the number of competitors Xbox360 jΓΉ that's for sure.

But how could this make Yang Yun satisfied?

Another day, just as this weekend ended. Microsoft's gaming division went against the crowd and made a heavy decision that involved a total of more than $50 million.

They sent a mass email to millions of Xbox 360 subscribers who had previously purchased to inform Microsoft of the latest offers, and customers could log in to Microsoft's official website to receive $39 worth of vouchers by clicking on the activation link in the email.

The $39 voucher can only be used on the Microsoft Live Store, and is automatically topped up to the user's account after activation, and can be used to redeem the latest blockbuster game released within six months, and even to purchase game merchandise. Cosplay costumes, mouse pads, commemorative dolls, etc.

And for new Xbox 360 users, Microsoft added it to the sale on the same day and gave away a voucher worth $39, which is equivalent to reducing the price of the 299 Xbox360 by $39 again in disguise, reducing the price to $260!

"Crazy! Microsoft is completely overdrawing the future, they are taking the future earnings to the present consumption, which is a very terrible practice, once it is not handled well. The consequences are unimaginable! ”

"Sadly, sadly, dignified Microsoft, once the world's largest IT company by market capitalization, will be forced by our Chinese companies to the miserable point of having to sell goods at a lower price! It's no longer a question of how much profit you make. It's about how much money Microsoft will lose, this is really a loss of one by selling one! ”

"Microsoft pins its only profit point on the Live Store service, which is the most taboo thing in business - putting all its eggs in one basket. If it fails, Microsoft will lose so much that it doesn't even have a chance to make a comeback! With what I know about Bill Gates. He was forced to be this Cheng dΓΉ, I can only say to you, Mr. Yang. You're amazing! ”

"President Yang is really the ambition of the Chinese! Admire, admire! ”

"Needless to say? China's IT industry, and even the world's IT industry, in the software industry, Mr. Yang's Longteng Entertainment Game Company has led the world trend, and the developed countries in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea can only follow Mr. Yang's back to eat ashes! ”

Yang Yun smiled and didn't explain, so he calmly accepted the compliment of a group of IT colleagues, he was attending a gathering of the wealthy class in Beijing, many IT colleagues flocked to him, but after seeing him, one by one respectfully did not dare to bother, congratulated and congratulated Yang Yun, and then drifted away, people are so strange.

Chen Fang followed him and asked mysteriously: "Mr. Yang, how long are you going to get the other party in this competition with Microsoft?" A year, or half a year? ”

Yang Yun glanced at him, picked up the red wine and touched him: "Another year?" Half a year? Isn't it too unconfident in us? ”

Chen Fang smiled, Yang Yun didn't tease him: "Driving Xbox360 out of the TV game market, this is my last dream, I think, it should be soon!" Cheers! ”

Indeed, after the $39 Microsoft Live Store voucher event was held, public opinion was once again divided into two factions, with the supporters of course the price-oriented consumers, and the other part expressing great skepticism.

"It's hard to believe that the declining price of the console, the selling price is lower than the cost price, and it happened! Consumer electronics products are not the lower the price, the better, it is a high-sensitivity precision electronic instrument, the high cost determines that it cannot be reduced to a cost of $260, Microsoft overdrafted its credit card, the sincerity and depth of which is worth thinking about, Xbox360, is it really as reliable as advertised? ”

"Desperate Microsoft, they have lost their minds!"

"In order to defeat Longteng, which has an 80% share of the world's video game market, Xbox360 is completing an impossible task, Microsoft should learn from Longteng twenty years ago, and learn from the tactical thinking of the Chinese 'rural encircling the city', otherwise, there is only one ending!"

Some veterans and celebrities in the game and IT industries are making public statements, tweets and scarves have become good carriers for everyone to leave messages and marketing to each other, and LC scarves celebrities like to express their opinions and watch them for the LC community of one billion people.

In doing so, Microsoft did attract a lot of attention, and the first day of sales rebounded, the next day backfired, and the number of potential new customers on the sidelines increased - they wanted to see where Microsoft's price floor was!

Yang Yun didn't give Bill Gates and Sheldon a long respite, he only wrote a message in his neck space after only a day and a half, that is, a reversal of the jet lag, plus a working day.

"I want to add that the official website seems to have forgotten to say that DC3 is backwards compatible! Therefore, dear players who support Dragon Games, welcome everyone to actively buy! ”

Compatible!

DC3 is backwards compatible!

All DC Series games can be played on DC3!

This news is no longer so shocking that Xbox360 dropped to $200 and buy one get one free, but a giant atomic bomb that can almost destroy the entire video game industry, blowing up the global game industry to a thousand holes, and the particle storm will be all game console manufacturers and all game suppliers except for the dragon, all game console manufacturers, all game suppliers, all shake out of the center of the storm, and only by submitting can they survive.

Sheldon looked at the scarf news, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a click.

"It's over! It's all over! ”

"DC3 can play all the games in the DC series, which means that new players only need one DC3 instead of buying the old DC2 and DC1, and they can join the game circle of old friends and play with them, and they can also get better graphics quality!"

"At this time, those new customers who hesitate to wait and see should be invested in the Longteng camp......

"Microsoft lost, just Yang Yun's words, Microsoft fell into a state of no return, this Chinese is really terrible!"

This kind of similar remarks are also circulating within Microsoft, and those employees who know the inside of the game department and know the reasons for the internal fighting between Microsoft and Longteng are shaking their heads one by one, and they can't even squeeze out a wry smile, they can only sigh in despair.

There is no fresh blood, which means that there are not enough people to maintain this environment, although the consumption of those 39 yuan vouchers will be reduced, but if there are not enough players, even the Microsoft Live store may not be able to store zΓ i!

"Aha! Chinese are really black-hearted, but I heard that Microsoft spent two days sending emails to more than 1 million users to compensate for $39 in game vouchers, at least more than 50% of users have redeemed these vouchers, and then Longteng a move DC3 backwards compatibility, let Microsoft's efforts be in vain! ”

"This drama is really exciting, and China Longteng Entertainment Game Company has added another classic case to the business community!"

Many neutral game developers and commentators are watching the fire, and they can see the whole competition clearly, Microsoft is the main attack, Longteng defense, and Microsoft has a big killer move, but Yang Yun blocked this big killer move with a word, and this sentence is even like a small dagger, easily stabbing into Microsoft's heart, so that everyone can see the high/tide repeatedly, and admire.

Sheldon muttered something that no one understands, he is a poor senior vice president, who can only take 0.08% of the corporate dividend every year, receive a symbolic salary of $1, take over the mess thrown by his predecessor three years ago, and try to challenge the strongest player in the industry, Dragon Entertainment Game Company, with his own enthusiasm in the past three years.

How proud he was, how many times did he fantasize about snatching the dragon back from the market, making him a genius from top to bottom of Microsoft, making him the savior of Microsoft's game department, and letting Microsoft's executives give him the glory, dignity, and status he won.

It's a pity that it's shattered, it's all shattered! (To be continued......)
