Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

But the Super Football Tournament was like a spiritual elixir; once he experienced it, he could never forget it.

Huh? You're talking to me about FIFA? What's that?

Oh right, that should be the name of the World Cup. As for the football game FIFA, he has completely forgotten about it.

How can a FIFA football game be compared to a major football tournament?

After all, one is the work of a college graduate with some experience, which is already quite good, while the other is like a max-level expert crushing a newbie in a newbie village. They are not even in the same league.

There's no such thing as a "God of Games" in Europe, but if someone mentioned it to Carson, he would definitely agree that the person who created the Super Football Tournament is absolutely the God of Games.

"Phew, it's been a long time since I've been this engrossed."

The young bartender was also very energetic, and the two seemed to have spent the night without even realizing it.

Both sides have played countless Super Soccer tournaments and dozens of matches related to real-world games, each with new twists and turns. You have no idea how much more Super Soccer tournament has yet to reveal to the players.

This is truly amazing.

Carson, now full of energy, asked, "Shall we continue playing?"

"No, I have to work, but we can meet up again tonight."

"it is good!"

Carson got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, you haven't taken your game console yet."

The young bartender quickly stopped Carson.

They're still playing Carson's game console.

But Carson said nonchalantly, "I'll definitely rest when I get home, and then I'll come right away. I prefer playing with others to playing alone, and I also want everyone to experience the Super Football Tournament. This thing is much more interesting than FIFA!"

The young bartender opened his mouth, surprised that Carson would be so generous with his money.

If it were him, he would definitely protect the game console carefully by himself, for fear that something might happen.

Su Rui Electronics' game consoles were just something he occasionally played with when he was bored, so he didn't mind damaging them. But the GS1 was different.

Chapter 580 A Question Mark

580

Carson's obsession with major football tournaments is something many others across Europe share.

In the first week, sales of major European football tournaments were actually not particularly high.

Because most players were already drawn to FIFA, which was released first.

Many players don't have time to think about trying out another football game in the short term, even if they are looking forward to another new football game.

Especially since this football game requires the purchase of a separate game console, even fewer players are willing to buy it from the start.

Therefore, the sales of the Super Football Tournament in Europe in its first week have just exceeded 500,000.

Meanwhile, the number of GS1 game consoles in Europe has only reached around two million so far.

If calculated based on game market share, sales exceeding 500,000 units roughly represent about 25% of the GS1 game console market in Europe.

This is already a very successful achievement for a game; it's extremely rare to achieve such results in the first week.

Meanwhile, Surui Electronics, having opened up the market first, managed to capture some sales volume.

There are approximately six million users of Surrey Electronics home video game consoles in Europe, which is a very good result.

This is also why Hayakawa Ueto is excited.

It was FIFA's emergence that led to its rapid rise in Europe, so Hayakawa Ueto specifically applied for FIFA's special privilege, which was to grant more revenue sharing to the games.

Previously it was 70%, but now you can have more than 80% of the sales commission.

If it's a purchased digital game, the revenue share can reach 90%, which shows YOO's sincerity.

This is a win-win situation for both sides.

Longtail Rain finally got its moment of triumph.

Especially after the release of Yusei Electronic Entertainment's Super Soccer Tournament, although there was no official data source, he was still able to roughly estimate the first-week sales of the Super Soccer Tournament through some channels.

The first week's figures will definitely not exceed one million.

This made him even more excited.

He couldn't help but start shouting on social media platforms, proudly announcing that the European market now belonged to YOO and that Youxing Electronic Entertainment could step aside.

In the realm of football games, he, Long Tail Rain, will be the king.

"President, we can't be optimistic. In terms of gameplay experience, the Super Soccer Tournament game is actually better than ours."

Just as Nagao Rain was triumphantly attacking Yusei Electronics Entertainment on social media, the head of Nagao Rain's development team approached him with great concern.

He is a game developer and has also had the opportunity to participate in the game development course at Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This also made him one of the first true game producers.

He later joined a game studio as a full-time game developer until YOO acquired their studio. The studio owner then took the money and left, and he became the head of the game team.

His game development experience is undeniable, enough to make him a key player, and his appreciation of games is equally beyond question.

When he finished developing his own FIFA football game, he was actually quite satisfied. This was the first game he had developed entirely by himself, without any help from anyone else.

Without any comparison, he felt that this was already the benchmark for football games.

At that time, he even thought that even Yusei Electronic Entertainment couldn't be better than him.

However, it wasn't until the release of Yusei Electronic Entertainment's Super Soccer Tournament that he truly realized how narrow-minded he had been.

As a game developer, he understands best how significant the difference can be between two games.

They look almost the same, but after using them, they are worlds apart.

So after playing the Super Soccer Tournament on Youxing Electronic Entertainment for the first time, he finally couldn't resist approaching Nagao Yu.

Nagao Yu was very dissatisfied with what the person in charge said.

What have I done wrong to you? Why are you coming here to badmouth me?

You were involved in the game development, and instead of properly promoting your own game, you're praising other people's games. What are you thinking?

He said, "We have already achieved success in sales. The data speaks for itself. We have already succeeded, haven't we?"

In the first week, they achieved sales of one million units.

Meanwhile, Youxing Electronic Entertainment's revenue was less than one million.

This is still a conservative estimate. Based on the collection of various data, his team estimates that the sales volume will probably hover around 500,000.

This is half the volume of his first week's million sales.

If Super Soccer Tournament is fun, then why don't so many people play it?

"President, first-week sales are only a measure of player engagement and cannot fully determine the quality of a game. Sometimes, a game's explosive first-week sales may be largely due to extensive promotion. For example, our FIFA football game has benefited greatly from promotion, but that does not prove that our game is truly invincible."

His point of view actually originated from a speech given by Zhu Youxing in a game development class.

In its previous life, Bamboo Star experienced countless excellent marketing campaigns, resulting in explosive sales in its first week, but it quickly declined.

Some games were fundamentally flawed, but they still managed to achieve explosive sales by relying on the company's previous reputation and effective marketing.

But what is the real situation?

The truth is, this game is terrible.

Players will immediately feel cheated after buying the game, and their confidence in the game and its company will quickly plummet.

However, FIFA is not that bad. The game is at least relatively complete, but it doesn't seem to be a game developed in the same era as Super Soccer Tournament.

Super football tournaments are like a game of overwhelming force.

"?"

A question mark slowly emerged in Nagao Yu's mind.

When will you stop?

He became even more dissatisfied.

"What kind of twisted logic is that? Where did you hear that? Game sales data is proof enough, and the feedback from our players is quite positive, isn't it?"

The person in charge patiently explained, "The feedback has indeed been very good, but we can maintain this level of confidence when we have no competitors. However, our competitors are doing much better than us now, and I think we..."

Longtail Rain impatiently waved her hand, interrupting the person in charge: "Alright, I don't want to hear any more of this. You're still quite inexperienced in marketing. From now on, you'll be solely responsible for game development. Don't get involved in anything outside of game development."

Now, Longtail Rain just wants to continue mocking Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Chapter 581 The Situation Gradually Reversing

581

Zhu Youxing was prepared for the latest sales figures for football games in Europe.

This time, there is a powerful opponent willing to spend money, so unless we also spend money, we are destined to fall into a vicious cycle.

Zhu Youxing's original goal was to force Yoo to pay more money, and that goal was already achieved.

As for the fact that his initial sales were not so good due to slightly weaker promotion, Zhu Youxing did not care.

Even if the Super Soccer Tournament doesn't win in the competition between soccer games, his subsequent works have already found a market, and all that's left is to slowly watch the game sales increase.

Moreover, compared to the sales of super football tournaments, the sales of game consoles are of greater concern.

Now that Surui Electronics has gained an advantage thanks to YOO's large investment, Zhuyouxing should be thinking about how to deal with such a competitor.

Suri Electronics is now very satisfied with its profits in Europe and is ready to challenge Yuxing Electronics Entertainment.

However, they are not particularly concerned about their rival, Takeyusei, unless the other party can also produce at least three or four game producers of the level of Shigeru Miyamoto. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to turn the tide.

The current Zhuyouxing is more concerned about the upcoming mobile internet era.

The mobile internet era is a golden age for mobile games, a new opportunity, but it presents a major hurdle for home console and handheld games.

The impact of mobile internet almost caused the handheld console market to collapse in just a few years. Even Nintendo's formidable game development capabilities at the time could not withstand the trend.
