Chapter 83: "Jianghu" pre-sale

At the end of July, NetEase's martial arts online game "Shencai" officially opened an unlimited number of internal tests, while Tianhe Network's new work "Jianghu" decided to open pre-sales on major platforms on August 1st, and on August 10th. No. 5 is officially open for download.

   Originally Chuhe also wanted to experience this unsuccessful "Shencai" that Netease touted. Look at the Cologne Game Show, have they made any new changes.

  But after downloading the game, I registered an account, and after logging in the game, Chu He smiled and uninstalled the game.

  At nine o'clock in the morning, every large area had to wait in line for tens of thousands. It was really'hot'!

   After paying a little attention, Chuhe is not in charge of it anymore. Not to mention the positioning problem, only the quality of the game, Chuhe does not think it can affect "Jianghu" at all.

   It was only on August 1st that after the official website uploaded the first game promotion video and announced the pricing of the major platforms, players started a heated discussion.

   The pre-sale price is 98 yuan. Players who purchase the pre-sale can get a limited costume in the multiplayer mode. There is no reward except for this.

   At the same time, the price of the game is 98 yuan for the whole platform. In fact, 98 yuan on the steam platform is no different from Chuhe's price of 68 yuan for the game. After all, the steam platform is too high.

  Of course, the penguin is still rich and rich. Although the official price is 98 yuan, the penguin's WEGAME platform is a voucher activity. Players can receive a voucher worth 25 yuan for free during the pre-order period.

This money is entirely from the penguin, plus the penguin's low cost for the game "Jianghu", in fact, did not sell a game, the penguin has to post a few dollars in it, plus WEGAME promised publicity.

   It can be said that penguins are completely at the expense of trading, after all, this game does not have WEGAME investment.

   But penguins are not stupid. If the quality of the game is not good, in turn, even if Chuhe asks the penguin the other party will not give any good conditions.

  For the price of 98 yuan for "Jianghu", Chuhe himself felt very reasonable, and even with the quality of the rivers and lakes, he felt cheap.

   But for domestic players, obviously most of them think that the price is a bit expensive.

   And under this Weibo announcement between the official and Chuhe, players are mostly divided into two groups.

   "Domestic game 98? So expensive? Sword 8 is only more than 60 when I heard it!"

   "I'm afraid I'm crazy about thinking about money! 98 to buy domestic games? I might as well add some money to buy 3A!"

   "The front is funny? The game has to be divided into domestic and imported? What happened to the domestic? Didn't you see the demo video at the Cologne game show? I think 98 is cheap for this quality."

   "What is good for foreign dads? Kneeling for a long time? Is it **** before the game?"

   "Pre-sale is still forgotten, wait for the game to come out, watch the anchor to play, if it is fun, I am buying."

   "The investment in "Jianghu" is almost over 100 million. Is it really too much to sell 98?"

  Of course, in addition to the online noisy players, everyone in the "Jianghu" project in the Chuhe and Tianhe networks is paying attention to the sales of pre-sales.

  Including the physical version of the official website, and the digital version of the major platforms are pre-sold on the same day.

  The digital version has nothing to say. The physical version is divided into a normal version and a luxury collection version.

  In addition to the game's main disc, the normal version also has a game manual description and an original picture collection, along with the limited version of the clothing activation code in the pre-sale multiplayer mode of the game.

  In addition to the main body CD, the game manual, and the original picture collection, there are also two main characters of the Q version of the mini collection, plus a luxurious limited edition pre-sale clothing code.

  As for the price, the physical ordinary version is 188 yuan, and the luxury collector's edition is 498 yuan.

This is also a matter of no way, after all, other expenses are not mentioned, just the two Q version pockets in the luxury collector's edition have already accounted for two-thirds of the cost. After all, this is not a domestic game. The kind of demon **** sent in the collector's edition is hand-made, but Tianhe Network specifically found a neon secondary manufacturer around Neon and made a special order.

  Sell such a set, deduct the prices of major channel vendors, as well as costs, taxes, and finally fall into the hands of Tianhe Network, actually can not make much money.

   "Mr. Chu, the first hour of data came out, more than 2,000 copies were sold in the regular version, and more than 100 copies were also sold in the deluxe version." Soon a piece of data was given to everyone in Chuhe and the project team.

"Yay!"

   got the pre-sale data for the first hour. Prote, Pig and Luzhou, and the core members of the team such as Xu Chang, could not help but show excitement, high-five each other to express their mood at this time.

   From the data point of view, "Jianghu" seems to be a good start, but for the quality of the game, no one is more confident than their development team.

  In an exaggerated sentence, they believe that as long as they have played, then everyone will be fascinated by it.

   "Mr. Chu, how much digital sales do you have?" After being excited, Xu Chang asked in the eyes that everyone expected.

  Because the physical version is different from the digital version, the physical version directly goes to the official online store, so the data can be collected at the first time.

   But for the digital version, both the steam platform and the WEGAME platform need to be collected by them~www.wuxiahere.com~ and then fed back to Tianhe Network.

   So currently they can only know the data of their own platform sales.

"Our own official website, the one-hour digital sales volume is 3,000 copies. Considering that WEGAME has great discounts and the steam platform has a lot of traffic, these two platforms are definitely far beyond ours. It should be around 20,000~30,000." Chu He thought about it and gave a number.

  Including WEGAME and Tianhe Network, they have carried out a lot of propaganda for the rivers and lakes. Although the strength is not as great as the original Red Moon legend, it is not too small.

   And generally speaking, the peak period of pre-sales of games is basically concentrated on the first day. According to this progress, Chuhe estimates that the pre-sales will probably reach about 100,000 when it is officially released.

   Hearing the numbers Chu He said, everyone in the team was also happy.

   As for Chuhe himself, he is both happy and a little worried. According to the conditions given by the system, "Jianghu" needs to reach 2 million copies in two months, which is not a small number.

  Don’t say that the domestic market is global. The price of 98RMB, reaching 200 copies, can be said to be a super sale.

  Forget it, don't want that much, the game is worth it, let the player go.

  Thinking that Chuhe is no longer attached, he has done his best to complete it, and the rest is left to the player.

   "Check all, I don't want to open the download day, there is a server problem, or the game has an obvious BUG." Chu He looked at the team and said seriously.

   "Relax! President Chu!"

   Hearing Chu He's words, everyone looked awkward, and then Xu Chang said.
