Players Please Respect Yourself

   Chapter 82 Knock on Microsoft

   Ordinary CEOs would probably laugh crookedly when they heard that a big company like Microsoft offered such a fortune opportunity.

   Co-branded limited edition installation!

   This is synonymous with force and glory.

   Think about it, it seems that "God of War 4" is a limited edition console linked to ps4 or something, and it is tall when you say it. It's a complementary relationship.

   Wang Hao frowned.

   Is this a question of money! ?

  Well, it seems to be related.

   The point is, how many players he recruits in the Land Abandoned by God, the key is his own level and strength.

  【Natural King】If the level of this feature is not raised, the upper limit of players who enter the Land Forsaken by God will always be locked.

   Even if his level goes up, without a new high-tech game engine, he can't keep it up.

  Joanna was in shock. She didn't know what secret poison the previous fake gave to Wang Hao, and after watching the company's surveillance video, she couldn't say anything.

  Those competitors are hateful, but this is something that cannot be reported to the police. After all, there was no real loss at all. It's not an attempted murder.

   She has already passed the temptation of acquisition and directly gave benefits.

   "Mr. Wang, naturally my company will investigate the matter of the counterfeit goods. I just want to ask, is there any problem with your company's internal testing? If it is a server problem, I think Microsoft can help."

cut! No matter how good a server you give me, it's just a decoration, and the signals from all the VR headsets just flow in and go through a cutscene.

   Wang Hao couldn't say what he said, and changed his words: "The development progress of our game has been very good. The server problem is only a small matter. The main reason is that we are a little disappointed with your company's new VR market, the market is too small."

  Joanna's face was slightly stiff: "Shouldn't it be that our two companies should work together to create a new VR market?"

Wang Hao turned on the computer, and here is a document: "So far, only 100,000 sets of the new VR headset have been sold worldwide. It can be said that more than half of the players are attracted by our company's "Land Forsaken". But This number of players is not enough to maintain the operation of a large-scale new-generation AAA-level online game. To recover the cost, we need to sell at least 500,000 copies.”

  Joanna is not surprised by this number.

  The real 3A game has absolutely a lot of development funds. 500,000 copies is $45 million in sales. Joanna would believe a company in a Western country, but an ordinary programmer in China would only get that salary. Even if 20,000 RMB is converted into US dollars, it is the price of an ordinary worker in Laomei.

  According to the quality of "Land Abandoned by God", most of them can't get away with tens of millions of RMB.

  Wang Hao continued his performance: "The new generation of VR is actually a test of the water. Our company has long prepared a normal PC version, as well as a PSD-VR version."

  Joanna couldn't calm down. What does the development of ordinary PC online games have to do with her Microsoft?

   I really didn't hear any news beforehand.

The    ultimate move was still behind, Wang Hao gave Sun Shangying a wink: "Miss Sun, please go to the warehouse and get the prototype version of the new PSD-VR helmet that Sony sent a few days ago."

   Although Joanna tried her best to hide her shock, the horror in her eyes was inevitable.

   In the console market of the gaming industry, it has not been a day or two for Microsoft and Sony to be deadly rivals. Microsoft first successfully developed a new generation of VR, which does not mean that Sony has not done it. In fact, Sony's progress is not too far behind.

  After Microsoft first successfully developed and mass-produced, why did the new masterpieces have to be launched to the market before they were ready, just to grab the market first.

   One step first, one step first.

   Even if game makers make a batch of small games for Microsoft's helmets first, it is better than nothing on Sony's side.

  Is Sony willing?

   Of course not reconciled.

   Knowing the success of the Land Forsaken by God, in order to please, I first sent the prototype helmet that had not been mass-produced. Not only do they hope to get online, but they also propose not to sign an exclusive agreement with Microsoft.

  The new generation of games, which one is more attractive to players, in addition to the performance of the game console, what more interesting exclusive games are the focus.

   Microsoft has lost a few streets to Sony in recent years.

   Microsoft's p-box series, apart from "Halo" and "Gears of War", has not much to offer. Even the last two generations of "Gears of War" are not good enough, and it is above the standard, not a masterpiece.

   On the other hand, Sony's "God of War", "Uncharted", "Red Dead Redemption" and other series are simply invincible, which directly led to the previous generation of consoles, Sony beat Microsoft, and the sales doubled.

   The interests involved are not about selling half of the consoles, but more about the sales of the games behind them.

  This is a huge market worth tens of billions of dollars.

   Involves the next-generation VR headset, which is likely to subvert the existing entertainment methods, and it is a super event worth trillions of dollars in minutes.

  Sun Shangying's first reaction was to be stunned, but she understood and went out gracefully. When she arrived at the warehouse, she deftly disassembled the unopened Sony prototype VR headset, and then quickly did some tricks.

   Five minutes later, Joanna saw that there were multiple scratches on an interface. It was obviously a helmet that had been used "multiple times" with the wires plugged in for an unknown number of times.

   In front of everyone, Wang Hao asked Joanna to experience accessing [Land Abandoned by Gods] with the opponent's helmet. Not a random test space, but directly to the running 'server'.

  Joanna was surprised to see the lobster and crayfish players who were demolishing the dog’s home.

  [It's very difficult to be a primary school student] Seeing the female Naga character who suddenly appeared, he pointed at the name of the [Test GM] on her head with a small short finger: "Huh? Come and see everyone, there is a GM!"

   A group of crayfish immediately gathered around as a crowd eating melons.

  Joanna was a little embarrassed to deal with the player, and quickly backed out: "Mr. Wang, I just made a video, can I take it back to the company?"

"Can."

   "I can make a decision here, please do not agree to cooperate with Sony for the time being. Our company will definitely give a more sincere plan."

   "Personally, I am very opposed to the exclusive use of game platforms or a certain console. Promotion on all platforms is my greatest wish. Of course, if the price is right, everything can be negotiated."

   In this meeting, nothing was negotiated. First, Microsoft was very upset by the counterfeit goods, and secondly, the back-hand of Xiaoqiang Company completely caught Microsoft's game department by surprise.

   The boss of Microsoft's Magic Capital Branch was shocked: "What, that company has already developed the PS version of "Land Forsaken"?"

   "Yes! I have a video to prove it." Joanna was unwilling and helpless.
