With the launch of the overseas version of switch, this same trend has also become popular overseas.
Rush buying, out of stock...
What happened in China two months ago was almost perfectly replicated overseas.
At the same time, Nebula Games also released sales data of Switch for the first time.
It took two months from the domestic release to the overseas release.
Now Nebula Games has also announced the sales data of switch.
Global shipments were 4.1 million units.
This number also shocked the major domestic game manufacturers.
Because so far, the sales of switch are actually very strong.
At least on major e-commerce websites, there will be no shortage of goods as soon as they are released.
But it could only last a few days. Many designers and manufacturers in the game industry who were paying attention felt that this was because the subsequent supply volume was not large.
But now it seems that this is not not big, but not enough.
And judging from the current situation of overseas launches, overseas countries can at least absorb a lot of it.
If we say that in the early stage, it relied on the blessing of Nebula Game IP.
But up to now, it is simply a success of the Switch itself.
In addition, that is the sales of games on the switch platform.
"Super Mario: Odyssey" has no suspense and occupies the highest sales share.
A sales volume of 2.11 million.
Moreover, we must consider that "Super Mario: Odyssey" has a physical cartridge, and there are corresponding cartridges circulating in the second-hand game market.
Taking this into account, wouldn’t it be equivalent to one out of every two switches now having “Super Mario: Odyssey” entered?
Of course, as the sales of Switch increase in the future and more games are launched, this number will definitely decrease.
Because currently, these are the games you can play if you buy a switch.
But even so, this is still an incredible number.
The second-highest sales volume is "Animal Crossing", with sales of 2.08 million, second only to "Super Mario: Odyssey".
This game can be summed up in a poem, that is, it moisturizes things silently.
The popularity becomes number one quietly, and the sales volume becomes number two.
And judging from sales and popularity, it won’t be a surprise if it surpasses “Super Mario: Odyssey” to become the number one game in a while.
In addition to these, many game manufacturers are surprised.
That is, some old games that have been launched on the switch platform have also achieved good sales.
Not only Nebula games, but also some games ported by third-party studios have achieved good sales.
At first, these third-party game manufacturers simply wanted to sell Nebula games to save face.
After all, everyone makes a living on the Nebula gaming platform.
But I didn't expect that the sales volume would be so high, not even lower than the sales volume on the PC platform.
In addition, there are member players on switch.
Although many players choose to buy family memberships in groups because it is cheaper.
But it’s cheap. Doesn’t it cost money
It can be said that the performance of switch has made manufacturers and media in the gaming industry a little stunned.
Chen Xu himself was actually a little surprised by this, but he was relieved.
Because the design concept of the switch itself is indeed very amazing.
In the previous life, Switch was able to become the fastest-selling handheld console, which was inseparable from its excellent quality.
It's not like you can do whatever you want simply by relying on Lao Ren's name.
Otherwise, Wiiu would not have died violently, and the success of Wii is very likely to be based on the success of the blue ocean strategy. Its somatosensory features have attracted many housewives to buy it. For most light users, Wii is not a game. machine but yoga mat, dance mat
Of course, the success or failure of a game console cannot be determined by these factors. The escape of a large number of third parties is also the core point.
For this complicated reason, in fact, Chen Xu had more choices in the first escort game on the switch.
For example, "Ring Fit Adventure" and "1-2 switch" games were played, but in the end Chen Xu did not choose them. Instead, he chose "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" as escort games.
Because Chen Xu’s positioning of switch is not a toy.
It's not a console, it's a platform.
… … …
In the reception room of Nebula Games, Chen Xu was also being interviewed by Game Space.
Of course, it is said to be an interview, but it is actually more of a promotion.
After all, the current sales of Switch can be said to have broken the records set by countless domestic handheld consoles.
Naturally, there are a large number of media who want to interview on the topic of switch.
In order to better publicize the news, this time Chen Xu was also different from the past and conducted a lot of interviews.
"Mr. Chen, in addition to the first-exclusive "Super Mario Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" on the switch, there are also quite a few brand-new mini-games in the member library, and the feedback from players is also quite good. There will be more in this area in the future. Do you have a plan?" The reporter sitting opposite Chen Xu asked a corresponding question.
It’s not a sharp issue, it’s even an issue to promote the switch.
"Of course, some new mini-games will continue to be added to the membership game library in the future. In addition, there are plans to include transplanted games such as "Minecraft" and new games created specifically for switch by third-party manufacturers." Chen Xu He nodded and explained.
Currently, many switch players on the Internet have really high comments about these classic mini-games.
From the beginning, most players signed up for membership for online play and cloud saving.
But after it was turned on, many players also took time to experience the mini-games in the membership library, but immediately after experiencing it, they felt a little bit unable to play.
In terms of graphics and technology, these games are far from mainstream masterpieces.
But they found that these games are quite fun and playable.
For example, in the first generation of Super Mario, many players discovered that there were various hidden contents after research.
For example, the water pipe jump level, and the hidden turning head. Although it is only a 2D horizontal version, the level creation is quite clever.
In addition, games like Snow Brothers and Metal Slug are games where you can cooperate with friends to complete levels.
And masturbation games like Bughime and Ikaruga.
The number is neither too much nor too little. There are a total of 8 that have entered the membership database for the first time.
Coupled with the two exclusive games on sale, as well as many Nebula game transplants and third-party transplants, in fact, although there are not many games on the switch at present, there are definitely a lot.
As for why players find it quite playable.
Because games like Insect Girl and Metal Slug were the favorite games of arcade owners in previous lives.
What? Why do you think the arcade owner likes it
Because the difficulty is high, it’s easy to steal coins!
On the switch, Chen Xu did not optimize the difficulty, but only added a new option, challenge mode and easy mode.
As the name suggests, the challenge mode is to clear the level with one coin.
In the easy mode, you can resurrect in place after death and continue to play, which is equivalent to unlimited coin input.
For players who choose challenge mode, this game is really playable.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, will there be more exclusive games for Switch in the future?" The last question was asked by the reporter opposite.
"In fact, we already have corresponding plans. I have actually said before that in the second half of the year we will also release an exclusive game on switch, and it will be an open world type game, a completely It is an open world game that is different from the direction of Red Dead Redemption," Chen Xu said with a smile.
The reporter opposite listened to Chen Xu's words, blinking his eyes, and was stunned.
