"Indeed, the record of over 300 million sales in the console section last year has been broken."
"However, the record of 450 million in sales on the first day of the overall ranking has not yet been broken."
"There's no way around it, PC games are still the best. Look at the mobile game section, apart from miHoYo's Honkai Impact 3, the second place can't even squeeze into the bottom of the PC game rankings."
"What a pity! If Fiery Red and Leafy Green were combined, it would probably be worth over 600 million, a true record high. It's such a shame, why did they have to separate them?"
"Wow, over 600 million players are actually willing to spend 200 RMB to buy this pixel-style game, that's amazing."
"The number may not necessarily be 600 million, because there are many players who bought both versions."
"What surprised me the most was that FireRed was more than 60 more than LeafGreen. Are there really that many people who like that Charizard?"
"?"
"Damn, bro, if you're asking this, then you definitely haven't looked at the version-limited Pokémon."
Fiery Red and Green Leaves is a game available in two versions.
Actually, apart from the version-specific Pokémon, there's basically no difference.
But that's exactly the case.
Countless people chose the fiery red version without hesitation after seeing the limited edition.
why?
That's because you can catch Growlithe in the limited-edition FireRed version of Pokémon.
As the little sprite that inspired countless viewers and fans in Xia Yu's live stream.
Many people only truly learned about and came into contact with this creature through Xia Yu's Growlithe.
Therefore, this little elf has a different meaning for many people.
even.
Many players rely on this inexplicable meaning.
I willingly spent over two hundred yuan to buy the game.
Just to save face for Growlithe.
Fortunately.
They successfully helped Pokémon reach the top spot on the leaderboard, living up to its reputation.
……
"As a result, the number one spot in both the mobile game and console game categories will be held by miHoYo games."
"The top spot on both charts comes from the same game company. I don't think any other game company has ever achieved this before."
"Actually, there have been instances where companies like Tencent, Tencent, and Kingsoft have tried to force themselves to be number one on both charts in order to make their names known, but those were just fleeting moments and they would fall off after only a few hours."
"But both of miHoYo's games are of high quality, and their revenue is constantly increasing, so there's no need to worry about that."
Has anyone calculated the sales figures for the two Pokémon games? They seem quite high.
"It's not just not low, you can calculate it if he sold 600 million copies of the game, each priced at 180 RMB."
"Holy crap, that means it's over a billion!"
"One billion before taxes, that's terrifying."
"Oh my God!"
"It's even higher than Honkai Impact 3?"
"Honkai Impact 3 is a free-to-play game after all. The more gacha pools and characters there are in the future, the more money we will make. This advantage is something that a buy-to-play game can't match."
"That's right. Buyout systems are usually very strong at the beginning, but very weak in the later stages."
"Honkai Impact 3, a free-to-play game, is the type where the minimum spending requirement is low and the maximum spending requirement is high."
"Some players might not spend any money at all, maybe just 6 yuan or a monthly card, but if you're looking at the bigger picture, tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan is quite normal. Look at those big streamers like Alicia, Brother Yang, and Sister Hua, they've all spent hundreds of thousands of yuan in a single transaction!"
"It's unimaginable that a new company could release two blockbuster games and rake in billions of RMB just one month after its founding. I can't even imagine what it would be like a year from now."
"I'm suddenly looking forward to miHoYo releasing another new PC game and taking the top spot on all three charts. That would truly be a god descending upon us..."
Will there be a third game?
"Although there is no third game, everyone can pay attention to the movie 'Your Name'."
"?"
"Dude, this is the Pokémon game review section. Don't mention irrelevant things. If you want to advertise, go somewhere else."
"No... Your Name and Pokémon seem to be by the same author! So they're not exactly unrelated."
When I saw this message.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Some people didn't realize what was happening yet.
"No... 'Your Name' is a movie, what does it have to do with President Xia? President Xia owns a game company."
"Yeah, don't try to take advantage of it..."
However, before anyone could refute this, the others had a chance to do so.
Someone then released the name that appeared in the opening scene of the movie.
In the director, producer, and screenwriter section.
The name of Yu the Great was clearly written on it.
Many people immediately searched for Mijia Media, the company behind "Your Name".
After confirming that the company was indeed under Xia Yu's name.
All the players were instantly dumbfounded.
"?"
"???"
I really like a phrase that Honkai Impact 3rd players and Pokémon players say: "Huh?"
"What? A movie?"
"Holy crap, why is CEO Xia making movies? Isn't he making new games anymore?"
"No! My Honkai Impact 3rd! I don't even know what will happen to Kiana later! Please don't abandon this project!"
"No, Mr. Xia, when I said I didn't want to work for an animation company, I was just saying it casually. Don't actually go and work in animation."
"But you know what, the trailer for this movie is actually pretty good."
"Since it's President Xia's movie, I definitely have to go see it."
"That's right. Given Xia Yu's commitment to quality, the fact that he dares to present his work to everyone shows that he is very confident in it. The record-breaking sales of Honkai Impact 3 and Pokémon have already proven this."
"But that's a movie, not a game. They're from different fields, and I'm not optimistic about it..."
"Although I really don't want to dampen everyone's confidence, I still have to say that animated films are different from cutscenes in games. A film that is nearly two hours long needs to consider content, pacing, plot, storyboarding, character design, foreshadowing... a lot of which require screenwriters and directors to spend ten years honing their skills and accumulating experience. And Mr. Xia looks to be only twenty years old. You haven't even directed live-action films before, yet you want to handle animated films. I can only say... ojiba k, everyone, I got the tickets, that's all."
"I believed your evil."
"Damn it, if you don't want to watch it, don't secretly buy tickets! Several cinemas around here are completely sold out of 'Your Name'."
"Damn it, a bunch of cowards who say they won't buy but are faster than anyone else at it."
Countless players grumbled and cursed as they looked at the audience who had managed to snag tickets.
A wave of frustration washed over me.
Many people watched the movie trailers after being recommended by others.
Unsurprisingly, they were then captivated by the beautiful visuals and novel storyline.
I want to buy tickets to see this film, which is Mr. Xia's first production.
However, after they opened the ticketing app, they were surprised to find...
Tonight, almost every theater showing "Your Name" was packed.
On the contrary, the sequel to Zhu's film, "The Monkey King Robs the Bride," left a deeper impression on everyone.
There are actually signs that quite a few seats are becoming available.
……
After watching Xia Yu leave his room.
Alicia then ran to the closet next to her and found a new set of pajamas, intending to go to the bathroom to change.
"Damn it, Mebius has gone too far."
"I can't argue with myself."
"They actually sent Xia Yu to deal with me."
"Tomorrow I'll go to your office and change all the clothes you left there into maid outfits."
Alicia muttered resentfully.
