Chapter 411: Souni's Response
On the way back, Lin Mo was thinking all the way.
Nowadays, the sales of game cabins are hot, which is taking advantage of new technology.
But in fact, game cabins are not without problems.
On the contrary, there are still many problems.
If Switch is only weak in third-party games and is overshadowed by first-party games.
Then the game cabin has no third-party games at all.
It is true that it can play a huge role in various industries, but ordinary people still buy it as a tool for playing games, or as a food tasting, or as a cyber dressing room.
If it is used as a game tool, it will definitely suffer a loss if there are not enough games.
Even players who like World of Warcraft and Minecraft can't stay in it forever.
The next stage of Naughty Cat is to let a large number of mid-level games land in the game cabin.
This cannot be achieved without the technical support of Naughty Cat.
Among them, there is Black Myth Wukong from Keyou.
After such a long time, there are more and more seedlings of boutique games, and the market recognition is getting higher and higher.
It finally began to move towards a virtuous circle.
At the same time, we must not forget to continue to release high-quality first-party games, which is the fundamental driving force for the game cabin to continue to attract ordinary players to overcome the large floor space and high price of the game cabin.
Since the minecon in December is the first one, a lot of publicity resources will be invested.
Taking this opportunity, the finale GTA and other third-party games that landed in the game cabin will all land.
And in November, after nearly a year.
Uncharted will land in the game cabin, and experience the exciting adventure brought by the ultimate sense of immersion under the first-person perspective.
Large quantity, full.
The phone dinged.
Take it out and see that it is a push of heavy news.
Lin Mo is a game designer, and these are what he reads every day.
The push is also similar news.
The content on it made him stunned.
It is indeed big news.
The century acquisition case has officially ended.
West and Moreno either resigned or were promoted in name only.
Baofeng Entertainment has been ruined since then.
After paying such a high price and making such efforts to facilitate this acquisition, it finally failed.
As for Juying Company, it is impossible for all the game business departments to be dismissed.
Such a wealthy company naturally cannot give up the game business.
This is part of the strategy.
But
There is a sentence in the news that surprised him.
The new head is named Mike Allister, who publicly stated that he would shift the company's focus to the development and production of high-quality games, continue to optimize the online experience, and make game development more diversified.
The subscription service plan is temporarily shelved, and the final decision will be made based on market response.
This is not the point.
The point is.
It is publicly stated that it will actively repair the relationship with Naughty Cat and let a large number of high-quality games return to the XGame host platform.
Combined with the subscription service plan mentioned above.
Lin Mo couldn't help laughing.
Is this inviting Naughty Cat to beat Souni together?
Actually, it can be understood.
What subscription service plan is temporarily shelved to see the market response.
Doesn't it mean to invite Naughty Cat to make a bigger cake, beat Souni to death, and then continue to divide the world into two?
"This McAllister is a smart guy."
The driver Xiao Li asked curiously: "Boss Lin, did you see the push news? It was pushed early this morning."
"I didn't pay attention to it this morning."
"Does Boss Lin plan to let the giant hard company go?"
"Since the other party has shown goodwill, why not?"
Xiao Li sighed and said: "I don't understand these things, I just feel afraid of raising a tiger to harm me."
Lin Mo smiled and said: "Do you think that the game department of the giant hard company can still pose any threat to me now? You think too highly of McAllister."
Not only Lin Mo, at this time, at the headquarters of Souni, Ito Makoto also looked at this news and pondered for a long time.
West, his opponent, ended up like this, he didn't feel much excitement, but felt a little sad.
The situation has become like this, and it has completely deviated from the original control.
The tough attitude towards Naughty Cat can no longer be said to be regretted, it is completely useless.
Now that the new console is about to be released, it will be a knife if you stick your head out or shrink your head.
It can't be avoided.
It may even face more than just Naughty Cat, but a double-sided attack from the giant hardcore company and Naughty Cat.
It is better to focus all the energy on how to make the new console survive under the pressure of the game cabin.
As the head of Soni, Makoto Ito is naturally not a mediocre person.
The new console playsquareX, referred to as PSX.
There are also coping strategies.
Unlike the giant hardcore company that can spend a lot of money to make a century acquisition, it will acquire a large number of medium-sized game companies.
Relying on a large number of exclusive games that are continuously and stably output, seize the market.
The target is the lack of mid-level games in the game cabin. Players cannot play only a few games in the game cabin.
The actual competitors are still the other two consoles.
The new console will be released in November together with the first escort masterpiece. As long as it does not die violently at the beginning, he is confident that the sales will not be too bad!
However, when the two consoles of the previous generation were just released, Naughty Cat happened to rise.
After the fallout, players who have already bought the digital version and the disc can still play, but new players can't buy the Naughty Cats game.
Now that PSX is about to be launched, not to mention, there is no Naughty Cats game.
The lineup of the first games is a bit shabby no matter how you look at it.
A somatosensory game "Step Up", which can be regarded as following the somatosensory trend brought by Switch.
A marginal RPG game "Black Storm", needless to say, a big thunder.
A casual game, "Doll Adventure".
Finally, the most important one is the game of the same name "Reavers: Revelation" linked with the long-promoted adventure action movie "Reaver 9".
The game is a prequel to the movie, supplementing many missing plot contents of the movie.
It also tells the story between the fifth and sixth orthodox sequels of the movie.
The movie is an IP with a long history and great influence.
Although the reputation of the recent works has gradually declined, the box office has been rising year by year.
Globally, it is a movie series with great influence.
Before and after the release of each "Treasure Hunter" movie, no other movie dared to grab this time slot.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if you dare to grab it, you will die.
Both parties are very satisfied with this collaboration.
"Treasure Hunter" wants to use gamers and the new PSX console to promote and promote it, so as to further expand the box office and the influence of the game IP.
As for Soni, I hope that fans of the "Treasure Hunter" movie can be interested in the game and buy the console and the game.
Gain the upper hand in the new round of console wars.
No, it cannot be said to gain the upper hand.
It should be said that it will not lose too badly.
Even with such a joint project, Ito Makoto is still unsure.
"Since the release of the game cabin, the output of Naughty Cat has obviously decreased. I hope I won't run into Naughty Cat's new work."
He prayed in his heart.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
The prayer was interrupted, and Ito Makoto frowned slightly and glanced at the screen.
Then his eyes widened, and he picked it up and looked at it with an unbelievable look.
[One year later! Naughty Cat's new work "Uncharted" is scheduled to be released in November! 】
Ito Makoto's mind is empty.
There is only one sentence in his mind.
"The vast heaven, how can you be so unkind to me" (End of this chapter)
