Number One Game Designer

If you want to find out the taste and composition of the players, just look at the games that came with the purchase of the console.

Satoshi Junshima got the first day's data, so he was not surprised but a little surprised.

Not surprisingly, in the incidental purchase game, most players still chose the old master's masterpiece "Zelda".

Surprisingly, Zelda's selection ratio was not as high as Satoshi Kimishima expected.

Old Ren’s previous hosts were also escorted by Zelda, but the selection ratio of Zelda for the previous hosts fluctuates around 80%.

As a result, when Hongyi was a third party, Zelda's selection ratio fell directly to 55%, making Junshima Satoshi doubt whether this generation of Zelda had collapsed.

But the second page of the report in hand is the rating of Sedar by several media, clearly telling Satoshi Junshima that this latest sequel to the Zelda series is very good!

IGN score 9.9.

GAME world score 9.7.

MC score 97.

The overall score of the remaining 43 media outlets is 9.8.

The entire series in Zelda has a very high score, and in the old official forum, Zelda's forum is also lively again. A large number of players are here to exchange ideas and answer questions, as if the past grand occasion is still going on. .

This situation is easy to understand, and Satoshi Junjima is not so stupid: it's not that Zelda can't play, but the "Assassin" series is also too strong! The two games do not distinguish Xuanzhen, creating the current situation.

For many players with spending power, Assassin is a good 3A sincere work that undoubtedly combines action adventure and history. The old game is not very pitted, so there is an exclusive on the console. The Assassin Gaiden? Just buy it!

So this time it is not just Zelda that is driving sales, but also the Assassins of Hongyi. With the joint blessing of the two sincere works, Lao Ren's new machine also set Lao Ren's own internal record:

Sales of 3.6 million on the first day, this thin report weighed more than a thousand catties for Satoshi Junshima.

This is an unimaginable result even in the most glorious Wii era of the old Ren. For the era at that time, it is a myth that the sales volume in the first week can exceed 10 million, so pay attention to one week.

But now the mainframe developed by myself, in just one day, twelve hours to complete 13 of the week's sales at that time, breaking 10 million in the first week is almost a certainty.

What does this situation represent? No one can shake the position of the president of the Ren family that represents himself! It means that I finally have my name in this world-famous game company! Open up your own dynasty!

Fang Xi didn't say a lot for Satoshi Junjima who could be said to be crying. Although he had seen two sides, Wei Shi was not an acquaintance. He could only comfort this person who was enough to be his uncle calmly.

"Mr. FANG, we must be able to create a new gaming era together!"

Fang Xi nodded perfunctorily, and then remembered that he was still on the phone, but Satoshi Junshima, who was probably still drinking a little wine, could not be seen at all.

Can only perfunctorily hmm again to express that he agrees.

"Mr. FANG, we must be able to rejuvenate the Asia-Pacific economy like the sages of the Showa era, and then suppress North America economically, and let those white guys see our prestige!"

Fang Xi pouted, thinking that Satoshi Junshima was a simple middle-aged greasy man, but he didn't expect to have this kind of ambition in his heart.

Well, Fang Xi's evaluation of Satoshi Junjima was slightly improved, from "simple middle-aged greasy man" to "aspiring middle-aged greasy man."

Using games to change and dominate the world, Fang Xi’s boss certainly has this idea and plan, but this is his own plan, and Fang Xi has no plans to share this cake with others.

After dealing with Satoshi Junjima with the classic "Uh, ah, oh, this way, good" answer, Fang Xi reopened the website to see the first day data of the old man.

Lao Ren is essentially selling a platform. Every host is a platform. Later players who want to continue playing games on this host need to buy games, recharge members, etc. The current old Ren is twelve hours It has sold more than 3 million globally. A simple estimate is that there will probably be about 10 million sales in the first week. Although the machine is limited by the cost sharing of various links such as manufacturing and processing, and the flow of goods, so The profit margin is not high, but in the later stage, a host can be used for at least five years. If you recharge members and buy games every month for five years, the host is of great value.

Fang Xi simply made a calculation. In the second half of this year, the old man, relying on this host to collect membership fees and sell games, could almost make a profit of nearly one billion dollars.

Throwing away the pen, Fang Xi lay on the chair and let out a sigh of relief. He spent a year of hard work to produce an assassin that is already the limit of a team. The profitability looks good, but this game is almost a deal. , The profit cycle is only half a year at most, and after half a year, you can only make a little money in the sale.

The old host's new host is a long-term benefit. At present, it seems that this host has almost no rivals within five years. I said earlier that Solfa might be out of the PS5, but looking at the current posture of the old man, they are likely to overthrow their current prototypes, and then use the fragmented time to make a fuss to improve the machine, so this five-year period Inside, the host market is for the old Ren to get what they want and make money lying down, so Fang Xi can't envy him.

"It's no wonder that people say that making a product is better than making a standard, but making a standard can't do it as a platform."

"Holding a platform, you are lying on a golden mountain."

It’s no wonder that Fang Xi was discouraged. Fang Xi spent a lot of thought on the assassin game, and developed a 3A game almost from zero. Only Fang Xi knew the hard work. The fat house of the game, knows how to make a P game.

Then this time and space had a chance to read about game production. The games I played before became Fang Xi’s inspiration, so I was able to bring out part of the game, but this process is not easy, I can only say that it will save myself some detours. .

The result is that the income of a 3A masterpiece produced every year is almost equal to the income of the old home machine. Comparing the two, Fang Xi can only shake his head:

"Can't fight it!"

At this time, Huaxia was late at night, and only Lu Wanqi beside Fang Xi was reading a book quietly while making tea for Fang Xi.

Seeing Fang Xi complaining like a child, Lu Wanqi smiled dozingly: "Then you will develop the console. I believe that if you develop the console, the sales volume will definitely be able to suppress Ren's."

"But I said before that the initial development of the mainframe is too expensive. After the mainframe is put into the market, it will be a long-term income, but it is also a long-term investment during the research and development." Fang Xi concluded: "The cycle is too long."

"So, we might as well think of a way to get something out on the Honghu platform."
