Chapter 1822 No wind and no waves

The wine is also afraid of the deep alley. Now it has entered the fast-paced fast-food era, whether it is music, movies, games, books or other entertainment activities, it is basically the case.

Imagine that in the past, it is not impossible to develop slowly by reputation, but it can only be done in a very small number of fields such as heavy machinery, because these industries are irreplaceable and the cycle is too long. To put it bluntly, most people are not interested in paying attention.

But for entertainment industries such as games, the most important thing is to be popular in a week after it is launched. It will naturally be very popular, otherwise it will basically be cold!

So whether it is a new game or a movie, it basically depends on large-scale publicity and promotion, otherwise it will not be known at all, let alone sold it.

Chen Chu explained to Wu Xingdao a few words, asking SG Games to continue to maintain strong publicity efforts and promote "Red Dead Redemption" on all channels!

After a few glances at the data and comments of "Red Dead Redemption", two weeks after it was launched, Red Dead Redemption sold 27 million sets in all channels, including PC, console version, and CD version, setting a record for the best sales in the gaming industry since the last century.

This has been improved by nearly half a month compared to Wall Street institutions. The entire game industry is basically watching "Red Dead Redemption" go from sales exceeding one billion US dollars to breaking two billion US dollars, and then continuously breaking through the sky, winning one record after another!

Now media and institutions have continuously increased their sales forecasts for Red Dead Redemption. A media that is the most incredible and endlessly yelled out a mythical prediction of "100 million" sales.

But in fact, "Red Dead Redemption" is like the movie, and inevitably entered a period of weakness, and sales began to fall sharply, but this is also relative. Even though the daily sales are now declining, the single-day sales of "Red Dead Redemption" are still more than several times the daily sales of other new games!

"The promotion should continue. If necessary, you can hold some activities and invite some stars to stand up for Red Dead Redemption!"

Chen Chu said to Wu Xingdao that publicity is to attract popularity. At present, the most consumer potential groups in the gaming industry have already donated generously for "Red Dead Redemption" and V8 graphics cards. Now it is necessary to attract more users outside the gaming community to "Red Dead Redemption".

In this regard, compared to the fact that games are somewhat inferior to movies. A movie can attract millions of viewers around the world, while SG games mainly attracts the online Internet user group.

Before hanging up the phone, Chen Chu said to Wu Xing, "You can prepare to do it with Louis Jackson and the 3DFX department!"

"I see!"

Wu Xingdao paused for a moment and said, as the CEO of Chuko, what Louis Jackson and 3DFX want to do, Wu Xingdao naturally understood, but when he thought that the funds that SG games had finally bought were not warm enough, he was afraid that all of them would be spread out again, which made Wu Xingdao sigh.

To describe SG games in one sentence, it is really Chuko’s cash cow. It’s just sucking grass and milk. Anyway, as long as Chuko makes big moves, SG games will definitely be devoted to it.

"The benchmark for open world games, as the earliest SG game that combines sandbox and open games, once again demonstrates its strength as the overlord of this game field!"

Large-scale media reviews have been released. The editorial team of GamesPot, the world's most famous game site, is a very praise for "Red Dead Redemption". The full-score ten-point evaluation system gave a high score of 9.9.

From the character to the game setting, to the main task, especially the fate of the final game characters, these people are praised by gamers as "Academics in the Game Industry" and are amazing.

As time goes by, these reviewers in the game industry, just like those academic judges at Oscars, have also gradually developed some distance between them and players. The games that these reviewers like have gradually begun to require deep, human nature, simple and exciting games, and sensory stimulation, and it is not easy to get high scores from these reviewers.

Of course, GameSpot also knows their reputation, so at the end of the review, "Because of the game setting, this game is not easy for players to completely immerse themselves in it!"

The same media editorial departments such as IGN, EGM, Kota Pants, like GameSpot, almost like the game "Red Dead Redemption" to the core. They gave high scores in a rare group, and the reviews were all recommended.

"As great as Grand Theft Auto, there will be a place for "Wilderness" in the long history of video games. When choosing the best game in the first decade of the new century in decades, Red Dead Redemption will be on the list. Some games will be remembered because it will become more brilliant over time!"

IGN even used poetic reviews to blew up Red Dead Redemption. This was definitely not because of SG games, which invested 3.5 million yuan in advertising fees to IGN through the Ouqi e-commerce platform, but because IGN is really optimistic about Red Dead Redemption.

After various media ratings were given to the media of "Red Dead Redemption", Red Dead Redemption is still reaping sales worldwide.

After the potential of purchasing users of PC versions was released, the sales of X-wave X console version and CD versions were constantly hitting new highs, especially in Japan. Red Dead Redemption has dominated the top spot in Japan-bene game sales for two consecutive weeks!

The X-wave X console, which is exclusively equipped with "Red Dead Redemption", also owns three major game console brands, Nintendo, Sony and Sega. It is known as the global game console base, and its sales have hit a record high.

GameStop offline game discs are also sold. Users who are still purchasing game discs on GameStop are basically game consoles and users who don’t like PC games.

If it were the previous SG game, it would definitely not be able to mobilize these users. Now, with the help of GameStop, SG Games can sell "Red Dead Redemption" to the hands of loyal fans of these CD games!

"Red Dead Redemption" has been at the top of the list of the most popular games around the world, almost unstoppable sales. Other game manufacturers have also had a tacit understanding that they did not launch new games, competing for sales with SG games.

Following the popular selling of "Red Dead Redemption", there are also many game peripherals, etc. The most popular one is definitely the V8 graphics card. The high configuration demand of "Red Dead Redemption" has made the V8 graphics card so popular, as if it was back to the most prominent era of 3DFX. Whether it is A card, N card, or AMD, it is difficult to stop 3DFX.

But this is just a brief illusion. After being caught off guard by 3DFX, Nvidia and ATI quickly reacted. Both sides quickly launched two high-end graphics cards. Nvidia took out GTX295, ATI also took out HD5970, successfully sniped 3DFX's V8 graphics card, and took a large amount of orders from the 3DFX graphics card.

HD5970 and GTX295 are both high-end graphics cards. Even though the price is a bit more expensive than V8, the performance is better than V8 graphics cards. This is equivalent to selling high-end machines at mid-range prices, which makes V8 no longer have the advantage.

This made Louis Jackson, who was responsible for 3DFX graphics cards helpless, but he had no choice. This is the foundation. 3DFX graphics cards have lost too much time. Now the product line is too weak and there is not much trump cards and technical reserves at all. It is not easy to barely follow the pace of Nvidia and ATI.

Louis Jackson, who is in the Onyx R&D and production center, saw his assistant coming in, "Intel's President Alico is here!"

"Please come in!"

Louis Jackson took another look at the report in his hand, especially the ATI, then put the report aside, began to organize his clothes, and stood up.

Seeing that Intel's head of Asian affairs, Alico Lemos, came in, Louis Jackson immediately stood up, "President Alico, long time no see!"

Alico Lemos has a smile on his face. In recent years, Intel is the most glorious time. It is a big blow in the field of PC chips. AMD has been beaten backwards and has almost no power to fight back. It seems that the era of Intel's unification of PC chips is coming.

"Congratulations to President Louis, V8 graphics cards are now the most popular graphics cards this year!" Alico Lemos looked at Louis Jackson and said enthusiastically. There is no way to avoid being enthusiastic. The more 3DFX graphics cards are sold, the more points Intel has achieved. Conservatively, this wave of Intel can take away at least 80 million US dollars from V8 graphics cards.

This is simply making money while lying down. A few years ago, technical support for 3DFX was also one of the most proud moves of Alico Lemos. Using several technologies has earned Intel hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years, making him famous within Intel.

Looking at the slightly proud Alico Lemos, Louis Jackson also laughed, but when he remembered what Chen Chu said to him, Louis Jackson didn't know. After a while, will Alico Lemos still laugh?

Louis Jackson showed a sad look, "President Aliko, you also know the situation of 3DFX. Compared with Nvidia, ATI, and AMD, it is really much worse. The sales of V8 graphics cards have been affected."

Looking at Louis Jackson with a worried face, Alico Lemos nodded. He also knew that 3DFX's days were not as beautiful as Nvidia on the surface, and their production costs were higher than those of several other graphics card manufacturers. If it weren't for SG Games' support and the support of the domestic market, 3DFX would have been unable to hold on.

"President Aliko, I don't know if the thing you mentioned to me before is true?"
