After the filming of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" ended, Fan Zhe returned to the headquarters of Shenghai Company, staring at the post-production of this TV series project, and on the other hand, he was always paying attention to the sales of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2".

It has been a full week since "Taigo 2" was launched on August 8. And the final first-week sales also came out.

14,000,000 sets!

This number has surpassed the new "Call of Duty" series released this year, becoming the best-selling game in the world among all Activision's games.

In a week's time, "Taiwu 2" won 817 million US dollars in the global market!

This number has surpassed a series of best-selling masterpieces such as "Red Dead Redemption 2".

Of course, it still doesn't compare to the sales of more than 17 million units and more than one billion sales in the first week of "GTA 5".

GTA5 is still terrifying, and it's the most lucrative single-player game in gaming history.

The game, which was released in 2013, has been selling quite strongly until now, and has been on the sales charts of the Steam platform from time to time. It was originally launched on PS3, and three years after the release of the PS4 version, it somehow reached the No. 1 position in PS sales one day......

So far, the total sales of this game have reached nearly 100 million, and breaking 100 million is a sure thing, and the current total profit has exceeded 6 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 40 billion yuan!

The main reason why GTA5 is able to perform at such a strong level of dominance is, of course, the quality of the game itself is extremely good, there is no doubt about it. Even if you look at it today, his game design and graphics are not lagging behind.

However, in addition to the quality of the game itself, its online gameplay is also excellent.

And the online feature is obviously a great help for the long-term sales of a game.

"Taigo 2" didn't do "GTA5", and it's not an incredible thing.

In addition to the online attributes, GTA5 itself is also a crime game in a modern urban setting, and in that era, the open world they made became the template for almost the entire category of games, which was groundbreaking, which was an important reason for the popularity of GTA5.

And in these aspects, "Taiwu 2" suffers more. Although their combat system is very well done, and the 'dynamic Jianghu' is also very groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, the subject matter, Chinese-style martial arts, may be okay in China, and in the entire global market, it is still not comparable to the crime theme and action-adventure game in the modern urban setting of "GTA5".

Aside from the incredible monster of "GTA5", the results of "Taigo 2" have shocked the game industry all over the world.

After the E3 press conference, the quality of "Taiwu 2" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many practitioners think that this is a very high-quality game, and they are all inclined to think that "Taigo 2" will get a relatively good sales performance.

It's just that not many people could have imagined that it would be so good.

With 14 million units sold in the first week, even if the sales of "Taigo 2" are frozen, it is still a game with quite good results.

Among them, the contribution of Chinese players should not be underestimated.

In just one week, "Taiwu 2" sold more than four million copies in Chinese mainland.

It's a bit jaw-dropping.

Although global game developers have always felt that China is a market with huge potential, although there are a series of problems such as piracy and difficulty in importing games, the huge population base is here, as long as the Chinese market can be leveraged, the benefits will be huge.

However, a triple-A masterpiece can sell four million units in China in the first week, which is still an exaggerated number. If Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are counted, the number is nearly 5 million.

The largest part of the sales of "Taiwu 2" is in China.

North America was the next largest contributor to sales. The big brother of capitalism, American players contributed more than 4.5 million sets to the sales of "Taiwu 2", which is basically the same as Chinese mainland, but their pricing level is not 269 yuan, but 59 US dollars, which is almost twice as expensive.

After that, the old country of the United Kingdom provided 1.1 million units of sales, and with the addition of the United Kingdom, the sales of the entire European region were more than 2.6 million units.

There are still 2 million sets left, which come from Japan, South Korea, and other countries and regions.

In fact, this data, Wedo Entertainment itself did not expect.

Initially, the commercial department set a conservative estimate of sales as long as it sold 3 million to 5 million units worldwide in the first week.

This is equivalent to the fact that the first week's sales will allow them to almost recoup their costs on this game, and then slowly sell again, sell more sets, and make money for one set. Moreover, if there can be three to five million units sold in the first week, then in a year or two, the final sales can reach eight million, or even tens of millions, then Dimension Entertainment will be able to make quite good profits on this game, and at the same time, Activision will also be able to make money as a partner.

None of them could have imagined that they would sell 14 million units in the first week.

Although it is not as good as the results of "GTA5" back then, it is definitely the top sales in the first week of all the new games released in the past few years.

The official blog of Wedo Entertainment published a celebration poster for the first time: a big red 14, with a slightly smaller text of 'tens of millions of sets' next to it, and an upward art arrow next to it, indicating that the data is still growing.

The copywriting on it is: ""Taiwu Picture Volume 2", the sales volume exceeded 14 million in the first week! Thank you for your support, and in the past week and in the next three weeks, all players who have purchased the game "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" will receive a special reward, [Glorious Horse Hood]. ”

"At the same time, our team continues to work hard to bring a better and richer experience to our players, and in the coming week, the first version of online content will be live, and we will open an arena with a total of 14 maps, where players can invite friends or freely match against other players' characters."

"The official version of the online content, we promise to be launched within a month, all of them, players can enter their characters into their friends' martial arts world through online methods, or invite friends to enter their own world, and swim together in the "Taiwu Picture Scroll".
