Chapter 681: Accumulate a Lot, Catch Up

At the beginning of its launch, the Counter-Strike game was crushed by the strength of StarCraft. In fact, Wu Tao felt more pressure than anyone else.

But when he found that the registered users in China had grown rapidly, and even surpassed the registration scale of StarCraft, he finally felt a little relieved.

In addition to the factor of free drainage, such a large-scale user growth can at least show that the game itself of Counter-Strike is not bad and has enough appeal.

This is the foundation of a game.

With this, Wu Tao felt relieved.

After more than four days of release, StarCraft's game sales and registered user growth began to enter a stabilization phase.

Maintain a daily sales volume of about 10,000 sets and a daily growth of 20,000 registered users.

If this trend continues, it will only take three months for StarCraft to break through the sales of 1 million sets.

This is definitely a platinum level sales.

Looking at the other party's data, Shi Qianxue couldn't help sighing, "Boss, when will our 1 million sets be sold out! Thanks to you, you added an additional quota of 500,000 sets, and now you can't sell them, are you starting to be dumbfounded?"

Shi Qianxue was right, Wu Tao was indeed dumbfounded.

But what made him dumbfounded was not because he was worried that the game would not be sold, but because he found that the number of registered users of Huaxia Battle.net had begun to increase explosively again.

Early this morning, the number of registered users in China exceeded 400,000.

Wu Tao originally thought that after the initial period of rapid growth, his own game would inevitably undergo a period of steady growth just like StarCraft.

In other words, the data will still rise, but there will not be much span and surprises.

But I never expected that in just half a day, the number of registered users in China's mainland has surpassed the 500,000 mark.

This growth trend is really a bit confusing.

Seeing him staring at the data of free registered users in China, Shi Qianxue couldn't help pointing out: "It's unknown how much paid conversion rate that data can have. No matter how fast it increases, the gold content is not as good as that of StarCraft. 20,000 growth."

"That's not necessarily the case!" Wu Tao, who had been silent all this time, rarely retorted: "Go and transfer the VIP registered user data online today, and also notify Wu Ke to let him record the number of registered users of Battle.com in China and the number of online users who are online every day. The number and login rate are all counted."

Although she didn't know what Wu Tao wanted these data for, Shi Qianxue turned around to supervise the matter honestly.

A while later, Shi Qianxue returned with two faxed documents.

Wu Tao took it over and took a look, his eyes lit up immediately, he stood up abruptly, startled Shi Qianxue, rubbed his chest and said with lingering fear: "You scared me to death, why are you so excited?"

"Haha, because you are going to marry Gao Fushuai, you have reached the pinnacle of your life!" Wu Tao let it go with great interest.

Seeing his joy, Shi Qianxue immediately put Xiaoman on his waist, "Sounds like a good thing, but if you can't say you're ugly, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a cousin!"

This threat, it seems, is not lethal, right?

But Wu Tao didn't bother to worry about it, but pointed to the fax document and the data on the computer screen and said, "Come and have a look, what can you find?"

After such a reminder, Shi Qianxue saw the difference at a glance.

"Although our VIP registered users are not as many as StarCraft's, our customer retention rate and online activity are 10% higher than theirs."

"What else?" Wu Tao asked.

Shi Qianxue straightened her hair hanging from her temples and said, "China's local online statistics are similar to our VIP data, which means that China's payment conversion rate should be much higher than that of regular games. But these can What does it mean?"

Wu Tao stood up and said: "This shows that our Counter-Strike game itself is not bad, and its commercial potential has not been fully released yet. I can even boldly speculate that our daily sales data should be in the future. In the distant future, it will surpass StarCraft. As for the total sales volume and registration scale, even if it cannot catch up with the other party, at least it will not be far behind."

"This...how is this possible?" Despite the previous data, Shi Qianxue still couldn't believe it when she first heard this conclusion.

Not only that, but even Qiu Xiaotian, who had just entered the door, felt that it was a fantasy.

"Boss, are you a little too optimistic?"

Wu Tao waved his hand, "I made such a conjecture, but there are actually traces to follow. Come and see!"

"Since the release of our Counter-Strike, except for a small burst of sales on the second day, the data for the rest of the time has actually grown slowly. Even though the sales of StarCraft have stabilized today, our data is still growing."

"That's true!" Qiu Xiaotian and Shi Qianxue nodded in unison.

Wu Tao continued: "The second point, judging from the popularity of discussions on the forum, the number of posts and replies on Counter-Strike has gradually increased in the past few days. From less than 10% on the first day, it has reached 100% today. Thirty-five!"

"...Even if we exclude the Internet trolls we hired, this data continues to grow. And I found that most of the new posts here are made by Chinese netizens and game lovers."

"...The combination of these factors is enough to show that the potential of Counter-Strike is gradually being released. As a new company and new product, word-of-mouth has to be accumulated slowly. We just need patience and time!"

After Wu Tao's analysis in such a simple and profound way, the two of them had nothing to say.

Qiu Xiaotian immediately rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "If this is the case, that would be great!"

Not only was he inexplicably excited, even Shi Qianxue was also jumping for joy.

As if to confirm Wu Tao's analysis, three days later, that is, at the node of the game's release for a week, the daily sales volume and registered user growth of Counter-Strike both surpassed the stable StarCraft.

This means that the total sales volume and total registered user scale data can reach the level of StarCraft, and there is a first-line possibility.

It's just that because the gap in the early stage has been too large, it will take a lot of time to close the gap.

Fortunately, today's Tianxing Game Company has enough patience and confidence from top to bottom.

Because of such achievements, it is already a great honor for a budding new game company.

As for catching up with and surpassing an established game company like Blizzard Entertainment, it is equivalent to beating a rabbit. It is best to be able to catch up. Even if you can't catch up, everyone will not be too disappointed.

After all, the future is long, and the first shot can achieve such an effect, far exceeding expectations.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Tao didn't relax at all.

In his view, Counter-Strike has a lower game threshold and higher playability than StarCraft. It's entertaining and fun at its best when it comes to teamwork, and on the web.

So it makes no sense that it would be worse than StarCraft.

With this in mind, Wu Tao was not in a hurry to open champagne to celebrate, but continued to pay attention and wait silently...
