Number One Game Designer

If you want to find out the taste and composition of players, just look at the games you bought when you bought the console.

Kimishima Satoshi got the first day's data, which made him neither surprised nor a little surprised.

It is no surprise that most players still choose the old master's masterpiece "Zelda" in the purchase of games.

Surprisingly, the selection ratio of Zelda was not as much as Kimijima Satoshi expected.

The previous hosts of the old man were also escorted by Zelda, but the selection ratio of Zelda for the previous hosts fluctuated around 80%.

As a result, when Hongyi became the third party, the selection ratio of Zelda dropped directly to 55%, which made Kimijima Satoshi wonder whether this generation of Zelda had collapsed.

But the second page of the report in hand is the ratings of several media for Zelda, telling Kimijima Satoshi clearly and unmistakably that this latest sequel of the Zelda series is very good!

IGN rated 9.9.

GAME World Rating 9.7.

MC score 97.

The overall score of the remaining 43 media is 9.8.

The entire series of Zelda has a very high score, and in the official forum of the old Ren, the forum of Zelda has become lively again. A large number of players exchange experiences and answer questions here, as if the old days are still in .

This situation is easy to understand, Kimishima Satoshi is not that stupid: it's not that Zelda can't fight anymore, it's that the "Assassin" series is also too strong! The two games are indistinguishable, which has created the current situation.

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

So it's not just Zelda that drives sales this time, but Hongyi's assassin as well. With the joint support of the two sincere works, the new machine of the old Ren has also set a record within the old Ren:

The sales volume on the first day was 3.6 million. This thin report weighed more than a thousand catties for Satoshi Kimishima.

This is an unimaginable achievement even in the most glorious Wii era of the old man. For the era at that time, it was a myth that the sales volume in the first week could exceed 10 million. Pay attention to this week.

But now, the mainframe developed by myself has completed 1/3 of the sales volume of the week in just one day and 12 hours, and it is almost a certainty that it will break through 10 million in the first week.

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

Fang Xi didn't say much to Satoshi Jundao, who could be called crying and tearful. Although he had met twice, he was not an acquaintance, so he could only comfort this man who was enough to be his uncle to be calm.

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

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

I could only hum a perfunctory once again to express my agreement.

"Mr. FANG, we will definitely be able to revitalize the Asia-Pacific economy like the sages of the Showa era, and then economically suppress North America. Let those white men see our majesty!"

Fang Xi curled his lips inwardly. He originally thought Jundao Satoshi was a simple middle-aged greasy man, but he didn't expect to have such ambitions in his heart.

Well, Fang Xi's evaluation of Satoshi Jundao has been slightly improved from the bottom of his heart, from "simple middle-aged greasy man" to "aspiring middle-aged greasy man."

Using games to change and dominate the world, of course Boss Fang Xi Fang has this idea and plan, but this is his own plan, Fang Xi has no plan to share this cake with others.

After dealing with Jundao Satoshi with the classic "hmm, ah, oh, this is good", Fang Xi reopened the website to see the old Ren's first day data.

The essence of Lao Ren is to sell platforms,

Each host is a platform. If players want to continue playing games on this host in the later stage, they need to purchase games, recharge members, etc. At present, the old Ren has sold more than 3 million in the world within 12 hours. Let’s make a simple estimate. There will probably be about 10 million sales in the first week. Although the machine is limited by the production and processing, and the cost sharing of various links such as distribution and logistics, the profit margin is not high, but when converted to the later stage , A host can be used for at least five years, and if you recharge your membership and buy games every month during the five years, this host is worth a lot.

Fang Xi did some simple calculations, and in the second half of this year, Lao Ren would be able to earn close to one billion US dollars just by collecting membership fees and selling games with this console.

Throwing away the pen Fang Xi heaved a sigh of relief lying on the chair. It is the limit of a team to produce an assassin with all his hard work for a year. The profit looks good, but this game is almost a one-off deal. , the profit cycle is only half a year at most, and after half a year, you can only make a little profit during the sale.

The new host of the old man is a long-term benefit. At present, it seems that this host has almost no rivals within five years. It was said earlier that Sofa might release the PS5, but judging by the current posture of the old Ren, they are likely to overthrow their current prototype, and then use the fragmented time to make a fuss about improving the machine, so this five years later Inside, the mainframe market is anything and everything for Lao Ren, and Fang Xi can't help being envious of making money lying down.

"No wonder people say that being a product is inferior to being a standard, but being a standard is not as good as a platform."

"Holding a platform is like lying on a golden mountain."

It is no wonder that Fang Xi was frustrated. Fang Xi spent a lot of thought on the assassin game, and developed a 3A game almost from 0. Only Fang Xi knew the hard work. The fat house of the game, who knows how to make a P game.

Then this time and space had the opportunity to read the game production, and the games he played before became Fang Xi's inspiration, so he was able to carry out part of the game, but this process was not easy, I can only say that it would save me some detours .

The result is that the income from producing a 3A-level masterpiece every year is almost equal to the income from any old home computer. Compared with the two, Fang Xi can only shake his head:

"I can't beat it!"

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

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

"However, as I said before, the early stage research and development of the host is too expensive. After the host is put into the market, it is a long-term benefit, 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 find a way to come up with something on the Honghu platform."
