"President, this is the latest sales data of Su Rui Electronics' game console products."

Two weeks later, Zhuyouxing's assistant submitted the sales data of Su Rui Electronics' latest game console to Zhuyouxing on time.

This is what Zhuyouxing is most concerned about recently besides game development.

He put down the work at hand and took the data sheet over for a brief look, then his expression became more serious.

"The sales momentum looks very good. In the second week, the sales of consoles and handhelds reached 500,000 and 300,000 respectively. It seems that the sales of their home consoles in the first month are likely to exceed 2 million."

The assistant nodded: "That's right, their game consoles are likely to have an impact on us in the future, shouldn't we make some countermeasures?"

"There must be a response, but it depends on how to do it." Zhu Youxing answered while thinking.

The most simple and direct method must be to produce more sophisticated works.

However, the picture is definitely not comparable, and the performance gap between the two sides on the game console is still quite large.

Another Mario for home consoles?

But that can only be reflected in the stability of sales, and it will be very difficult to go further.

Make a new type of game?

But the game is not so easy to do.

To make a brand new type, the first thing to consider now is the human problem.

It is not easy for employees to first understand a general concept of his creation of a new genre, and then let them invest in the development of the game.

Unless he intends to fall back and use a lot of manpower to develop a new type of game with relatively poor quality.

But that's not in line with Zhu Youxing's style.

Try to do your best if you want to do it, this is what Zhuyouxing expects.

So, keep the current situation.

It just so happens that I am also preparing several new series of games, such as the latest Dragon Quest series, Final Fantasy, Metroid, and Need for Speed.

These have entered the final stage of development one after another during this time.

Use these to fight against Su Rui Electronics first.

So act now, launch the latest games one after another, one first-party game per month, and then continue to export multiple third-party games from partners.

Zhu Youxing remembered that in his previous life, in order to compete for the dominant position in the new handheld era, Sony made the PSV explode in a short period of time and released more than ten first-party and third-party works that could be regarded as masterpieces. Nintendo's firepower is stronger, or their games are more powerful.

Only relying on the Monster Hunter game has almost established the unshakable position of the 3DS handheld.

Back then Monster Hunter...

Why?

Yes, maybe you can consider Monster Hunter.

Zhu Youxing slapped his forehead.

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly remembered this action, the absolute representative work of Capcom.

At that time, whoever the Monster Hunter fell into the arms of the handheld could almost determine the victory of that era, which was very unimaginable.

A game can have such an influence, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a second similar example in that era.

If Capcom had chosen to launch its own Monster Hunter works on PSV at that time, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose at that time.

But in the end, neither of the two companies may have thought that they would be stolen by another outsider, that is, the birth of mobile smartphones, which plundered most of their handheld users almost instantly, which was very debilitating.

Later, Nintendo and Sony never made handhelds,

Even the later Switch was recognized by Nintendo as a home console instead of a handheld, and the game prices of the Switch were all priced according to the home console.

No matter how later people define the switch, at least Nintendo itself still believes that it is a home console, and it is obvious that it is really afraid of being called by a mobile smart phone.

Mobile smartphones at the time were truly unstoppable.

But... Now that I think about making Monster Hunter, it may take a long time, at least a year, but it can be done first, and this game will definitely play a decisive role.

If such a game is not launched in this era of handheld hegemony, even Zhuyouxing will be very sorry.

He hopes that people in this world can also experience the ultimate enjoyment of Monster Hunter.

...

If we say that December last year was a publicity battle for many top companies.

March is the battle of the century between Su Rui Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the two companies that are number one and number two in video games.

This battle was very exciting.

After you sing and we come on stage, Su Rui Electronics quickly distributes goods by relying on its very powerful sales and advertising strength.

Especially with YOO Changweiyu's desperate promotion of Internet shopping, it really made Changweiyu slowly build the basic online shopping model in Japan and the United States.

And online shopping can be said to be a great weapon, which makes the sales of Surui Electronics' products much faster than before.

Of course, there is also a reason for Changweiyu's frenzied price war, which may burn 60 to 70 million US dollars in almost three or four days.

If this is the average company, it would have collapsed long ago.

However, the machines were sold, and a lot of games were also sold, but in terms of the quality of the games, they still couldn't compare with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it was entirely because of advertising and sales channels that they gained a certain advantage.

But Zhu Youxing took another path.

When April came, the new Dragon Quest was launched as scheduled.

Now this series already has a fairly stable player base. As long as Dragon Quest continues to be launched, they are willing to buy even if there is no progress. A man who has ensured at least one aspect of progress in each generation every time.

This time, Dragon Quest is an improvement in the screen, allowing the original 2D Dragon Quest to evolve into the era of 3D image quality, and through the accumulation of CG technology that has been accumulated for several years, it has made a better game than the previous life. CG picture.

At the same time, there are many loyal third-party partners of Zhuyouxing that will be released together in April.

Even though Changweiyu acquired many companies and studios that used to make games for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, there are still many companies on Zhuyouxing's side rushing to make games for Zhuyouxing's game consoles. In terms of the number of games it doesn't make much of an impact at all.

Among them, a particularly striking work was born.

In this world, the name is Doom, and its game style and settings are almost exactly the same as the radiation in the previous life.

The studio that made this game was a few guys that Zhu Youxing had seen very much.

After being recommended by Zhu Youxing at the exhibition, they chose to submit their work demos to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

And with the works hand-picked by Zhu Youxing, there is naturally no obstacle, and it has successfully won the favor of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and is willing to invest, but the price is that the works of this studio in the next few years will only be registered in Youxing. On the platform of electronic entertainment.
