305 pre-sale data
The effect of the promotional video is very good, and at first, Ubisoft thought that it would not be too popular, after all, it will release a game soon, or a pixel game.
Now there is one thing in the player circle that everyone defaults to, and that is the pixel masterpiece.
They have already calmed down, and if they release new games at the same time as the old thief, the results may not be too ideal.
What they want is to attract more players with the word-of-mouth of the game, and if it's a series, word-of-mouth is the hardest sign.
After the game was promoted, it entered the pre-sale stage.
On the first day of the pre-sale, they were already given a huge surprise.
Ubisoft has a staff dedicated to collating data, and 24 hours after the start of the pre-sale, he looks at the latest data in his hands.
The first time, he rubbed his eyes, making sure he didn't have a number.
The second time, he wrote down the numbers one by one and checked them carefully.
The third time, he reconfirmed.
……
After going back and forth a few times, he was sure that there was really no problem with this data.
It's true!
The staff quickly printed the document, the newly baked document was still a little hot to the touch, and the residual heat of the printing was still on the paper.
He knocked on the office door of his leader with the data analysis papers.
The entire floor was a bit noisy, with some colleagues chattering about the game's release, and you could see that there was more and more discussion about Assassin's Creed all over the Internet, and the Internet was full of heated discussions about the details of the game's display.
The knock on the door wasn't so clear on a noisy morning.
"Enter."
After getting the approval of the leader, he clenched the document in his hand and pushed the door in.
"Boss, yesterday's pre-sale data is out."
"I'll see!" The brown-haired man sitting at the desk got up and quickly came over and took the papers in his hand away.
The document was not thick, only three pages in total, and all the residual warmth on the paper had dissipated.
On the three pages, the number of purchases for different periods is displayed, and the number of purchases for each period is displayed in segments of one day.
He looked at it page by page seriously, but when he saw the first time period, there was already irrepressible joy in his eyes.
They opened the pre-order at 8 a.m. the next day after the trailer was released, and now it's 9 a.m., exactly 12 hours after the purchase data comes out.
In the first hour, the number exceeded 500,000.
This has greatly exceeded their expectations, and looking back, the data for each period is even more surprising.
At the end of the day, the total pre-sale volume was 380w.
The price of the game is 198, and all the costs have been earned back on the first day, and there is also a profit,
"Is this really just a first-day pre-order?" The Ubisoft executive looked at the last piece of paper seriously, just this number of pre-orders was already higher than the sales of their previous games.
Only now did he understand what it was like to be an EA.
The hardships I suffered during the game have now been rewarded a hundredfold.
Pre-orders will last for ten days, and although this amount will not be as ferocious as the first day, it will remain in a certain amount for the following days.
"Talk to the finance, and give the old thief 500 million from the money that has just arrived." He took a deep breath, "Tell the old thief, Assassin's Creed 2, we bought it." ”
Generally speaking, there will be a series of players who will watch the real player experience before buying the game, after all, it is not uncommon for promotional videos to be different from the real thing.
And he has full confidence in the game.
"Assassin's Creed 2!" Listening to the boss's instructions, the employees just now were slightly stunned.
He is just a small employee, and he has never heard of a sequel, only that the old thief has been to the company for a while, and as for what the old thief said to the leaders, what decisions the two sides have for the future, it is not something that a character like him can know.
It was also the first time he had heard about a sequel.
"Haha? Surprised? Seeing the sales on the first day, Ubisoft's executives couldn't stop wanting to show off.
"And we don't just have a sequel." He took the papers in his hand and turned to the window.
Floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see everything outside, "In the future, Assassin's Creed will be our golden sign!" ”
"Hmm......" he whispered, looking at the sky not far away, "many years ahead." ”
Until his subordinates came to the department where the finance was located, they still couldn't stop the shock in their hearts.
He felt as if he had heard a terrible plan.
The amount of 500 million is extraordinary, and after he told the treasurer what he just said, the other party nodded lightly, as if he had already known about it.
It turns out that the company's top management is really playing a big game of chess!
At this time, the finance department of Sprout Studio also received a payment from Ubisoft.
The note for the money is Assassin's Creed 2.
The people from the finance department immediately sent the news to the old thief, "Is there a mistake in Ubisoft, why did you even call the money for Assassin's Creed 2?" ”
Ye Feng looked at the screenshots and messages that the finance gave him, and couldn't help but smile.
"In the future, Ubisoft's money for Assassin's Creed will be reported once." Ye Feng tapped his fingers and replied quickly.
"Assassin's Creed still has 2?"
"Well, there are 3456789......" Ye Feng himself was a little embarrassed, although each work will have its own name, but if it is one a year, it is equivalent to 345678.
"The boss is awesome!" Finance was immediately stunned and didn't say anything more.
He looked at his subordinates, "The old thief said that in the future, all Ubisoft's money will be collected correctly!" ”
"In the future, Ubisoft may be our professional account for money." He took a deep breath. "It's possible, the other party will give us more than ten years of money......"
Is this the charm of an old thief? Series of games,It's really hard to get better from generation to generation.,It's really difficult.,This kind of obvious behavior of Karma leeks.,The old thief can still make people give money willingly.。
But when I thought about it, I felt that it wasn't too much of a loss to buy the series.
Because the series of games also depends on whose series of games it is.
He just felt that Ubisoft didn't buy a loss, but he couldn't imagine that in the future, Ubisoft would really make it a golden sign.
When Ye Feng shared this matter with Song Shan, Song Shan couldn't help but sigh.
"What a series of leeks!"
"As long as there is quality, it is not considered a leek." Ye Feng defended.
"With this kind of secret competition between Ubisoft and EA, EA can give up after knowing about it? Then you can't come to the door! Song Shan couldn't help but shout.
"The name of the series game is very iron, so what do you have to give EA to deal with it?"
