The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

After the filming of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" ended, Fan Zhe returned to the headquarters of Shenghai Company, while staring at the post-production of this TV drama project, on the other hand, he also kept an eye on the sales of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" .

A whole week has passed since "Taiwu 2" was launched on August 8th. And the final first-week sales are also out.

14 million sets!

This number has surpassed the new "Call of Duty" series this year, and has become the best-selling game in the world among all the games under Activision.

In one week, "Taiwu 2" won 817 million US dollars in the global market!

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

Of course, it is still not as good as the sales of more than 17 million sets and sales of more than one billion in the first week of "GTA5".

"GTA5" is still too scary, and it is the most profitable stand-alone game in the history of the game.

This game, which was launched in 2013, still has quite strong sales until now, and it can still be on the sales list of the steam platform from time to time. It was first launched on PS3, and three years after the PS4 version was released, it somehow became the number one sales volume on PS...

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

The main reason why "GTA5" can have such a powerful dominance level is of course that the quality of the game itself is extremely good, which is beyond doubt. Even looking at it today, his game design and graphics are not considered backward.

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

The online feature is obviously of great help to the long-term sales of a game.

"Taiwu 2" has not done "GTA5", and it is not incredible.

In addition to the online attributes, "GTA5" itself is also a crime-themed game under the background of a modern city, and in that era, the open world they made almost became the template for this entire category of games, which was groundbreaking , These are important reasons for the hot sales of "GTA5".

In these respects, "Taiwu 2" is at a disadvantage. Although their combat system is very good, and "Dynamic Jianghu" is also very innovative in terms of gameplay, but the theme, Chinese-style martial arts, may be fine in China. In the entire global market, it is not as good as "GTA5" Compared with crime-themed and action-adventure-themed games in the modern urban setting, it is still incomparable.

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

After the E3 press conference, the quality of "Taiwu 2" has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many practitioners believe that this is a very high-quality game, and they all tend to believe that "Taiwu 2" will achieve relatively good sales performance.

However, not many people would have imagined that it would be so good.

The sales volume in the first week was 14 million sets. Even if the sales volume of "Taiwu 2" is fixed at this point, it is still a very good game.

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

In just one week, "Taiwu 2" sold more than 4 million sets in mainland China.

This is quite jaw-dropping.

Although, the current global game developers have always believed that China is a market with great 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 they can By prying open the Chinese market, the benefits will also be huge.

However, a 3A masterpiece can sell 4 million sets in China in the first week, and this figure is quite exaggerated. If Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions are included, the number will be nearly 5 million sets.

The largest sales volume of "Taiwu 2" is in China.

Contributing to sales followed closely by North America. The big brother of capitalism, the sales volume contributed by American players to "Taiwu 2" has reached more than 4.5 million sets, which is basically the same as that in mainland China, but their pricing level is not 269 yuan, but 59 yuan. In US dollars, it is almost twice as expensive.

Afterwards, the established country, the United Kingdom, provided sales of 1.1 million sets. Adding the United Kingdom, the sales volume brought by the entire European region was more than 2.6 million sets.

The remaining two million sets come from Japan, South Korea, and other countries and regions.

In fact, Dimension Entertainment did not expect this data.

At the very beginning, the conservative sales estimate made by the commercial department was that as long as three to five million units could be sold worldwide in the first week, it would be about the same.

This is equivalent to, the sales in the first week can make them almost able to pay back the money on this game, and then sell it slowly later, and sell more sets, and earn money for one set. Moreover, the sales volume in the first week can reach 3 to 5 million sets. After a year or two, the final sales volume can reach 8 million or even tens of millions. Then Dimension Entertainment can make a pretty good profit on this game. , At the same time, Activision, a partner, will also be able to make money.

None of them expected that 14 million sets could be sold in the first week.

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

Dimension Entertainment's official blog immediately published a celebration poster: a big red 1400, with a slightly smaller text of "10,000 sets" next to it, and an upward art arrow beside it, indicating that the data is still increase.

The copy above is: ""Taiwu Painted Scroll 2", the sales volume of the first week exceeded 14 million! Thank you for your support. In the past week and the next three weeks, all those who bought the game "Taiwu Painted Scroll 2" Players will receive a special reward, 【Glorious Horse Headgear】."
