The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 353 Strike a heavy punch!

[The aftermath of the BitStorm! Sony Interactive Entertainment is officially out!]
Three days ago, this post suddenly appeared in Mengjin and received extremely high attention.

This post was published by a well-known "uncle party" [Xiao Chunzhu] in Mengjin.

This guy claimed that he had an uncle who worked in an important position in Dream Building and had access to a lot of first-hand information.

Because they can often provide evidence that the outside world does not have and their information is very accurate, they are quite well-known in the forum.

It's the same this time.

He provided several "secret" photos taken at the meeting.

Netizens quickly recognized several company executives and confirmed the authenticity of the incident.

As a result, the news that "executives from seven large overseas technology and Internet companies went to Ningzhou to beg for mercy" and "Sony Interactive Entertainment was suddenly kicked out" were known to the outside world at the same time.

In particular, the issue of Sony being kicked out has caused widespread discussion among the gaming community.

The reason is also very simple——

Before DreamWorks suddenly appeared, Sony was the leader in the console game field.

The number of users is astonishing: the total number of registered users worldwide exceeds 3 million, and the monthly active users have long exceeded 1 million.

——Of course, the so-called “long-term” was something that happened several months ago.

Now, after a series of sharp declines, Sony is no longer willing to disclose the real data.

But even so, it is an indisputable fact that Sony's game station has a very high market share.

The future development of Sony Game Station is related to the vital interests of hundreds of millions of users.

Although it is totally deserved after suffering such a heavy blow, players have to pay attention to subsequent developments.

After all, if Sony really fails, users will also suffer the losses.

Social networks, game forums, group chat software...

In every corner of the Internet, players from all over the world are speculating on where the relationship between Sony and DreamHub will go.

But Dream Building didn't keep them waiting for long——

Before the executives of Sony Interactive Entertainment's headquarters boarded the plane to leave Xiaguo, Dream Building launched a highly targeted promotional campaign:

[Trade-in 1.0]
Within the country of Xia, all users can use Sony Game Station to redeem cash and purchase the Vision Gaming Kit series hardware at a discount.

Including somatosensory synchronization suits, omnidirectional treadmills, somatosensory arrays, and even the latest holographic display equipment!

After that, DreamBuild quickly announced the [Trade-In 2.0] and [Trade-In 3.0] activities:

The content is exactly the same as 1.0, but the release date is delayed to April 4 and mid-April respectively.

The scope of activities has also expanded to the entire Asia-Pacific market and the European and American markets!

Even a fool can tell that this "promotional" content is aimed at Sony!

Netizens who were only concerned about the chaos in the world became excited instantly:

"I've seen a lot of old-for-new exchanges, but this is the first time I've seen someone use their opponent's old stuff to get their own new stuff!"

"This is too cruel! It's like paying for the competitor's users, right?"

"I can earn less, but you must not earn anything! How cruel!"

"As expected of you, Zhumeng! As expected of you, Xu Meng! You always do things that amaze people!"

"It's great to have 100% control! You can do whatever you want!"

"Hahaha, I want to see a river of blood!"

……

The media were equally excited.

In the past six months, Zhumeng has single-handedly supported countless media outlets.

As long as everyone keeps an eye on Zhumeng, there will be a constant stream of big news to report, which is really a great joy.

A lot of news has been released about the old-for-new exchange of Zhumeng:
[The bayonet sees blood! Dream Building blows the horn of attack!]
[Use cash flow to block the opponent's blood-making function, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own!]
[The best way to acquire customers is to dig out your competitors’ corners! ]
[Dream Building suddenly strikes hard, global sniping new forces, analysis of the historical grudges between the two sides!]
[The doomsday bell has sounded, Sony is about to sink, it's time to jump ship!]
[Prices of used game stations and game discs plummet!]
……

In the Internet age, the core goal of writing for the media is no longer [truthfulness] and [accuracy].

[Traffic] is the only goal.

In order to attract more traffic, many media outlets are constantly making shocking statements.

The title should be as eye-catching as possible and the content should be as exaggerated as possible.

"Charge", "decisive battle", "doomsday"...all kinds of exaggerated words popped up one after another.

In fact, will Sony die immediately once DreamWorks launches this activity?
Of course not that fast.

Players have been using their gaming devices for several years, and there are still several years of game data stored in them. How can they just throw them away so easily?
But in the Internet age, "traffic" itself has power. It can not only be used to realize cash and cut leeks, but also have a strong inductive effect in the field of public opinion.

A large number of media, self-media, and marketing accounts are saying that "Sony is going to be finished."

And the analysis is very clear and logical.

After saying and hearing this many times, many netizens will subconsciously feel:
This is definitely true!

And this concern soon turned into substantive action——

In the second-hand market, the prices of Sony's game consoles and game discs are falling rapidly.

The number of [trade-in] orders at Dream Mall has skyrocketed!
Much faster than Zhang Baiquan expected!
This drop in second-hand prices has confirmed the online saying that "Sony is about to fail."

As a result, more users who lost confidence in Sony began to jump ship.

Prices in the second-hand market continue to fall!

The price finally stabilized until it was lower than the calculated price of Zhumeng [trade-in].

But the next day after it stabilized, the calculated price of Dream Building's [old for new] also dropped!

Everyone looked through the previous activity introductions and found that Dream Building had already explained:

The trade-in price is calculated based on the average price in the second-hand market.

Moreover, it will be converted again based on the average price in the second-hand market - it will only be lower than the average price in the second-hand market, not higher.

The result is no surprise: prices in the second-hand market are starting to drop again!
——There are always people who want cash, not dream-building equipment.

The media took another look.

Holy crap, my prediction came true?!

How can I not publish a few more articles to show off my professional vision?

Therefore, the news that "Sony is about to collapse" seems more true!

……

This incident just kept getting magnified.

It was not until the price of second-hand consoles approached the invisible "bottom line" in the minds of players that the price finally stabilized.

But it didn't last long.

Because under Xu Meng's instruction, the operation department of the Dream Building Game Platform also began to exert its strength——

"It's Over! I'm Surrounded by Demons" announced plans for a sequel.

The new game will be available on the Dream Building game platform, Vapour game platform, and Sofort game box.

The demo of the VR upgraded version of "Storm Fire" was released on the Dream Game Platform, and it was announced that the official version will be launched next month.

Exclusively landed on the Dream Building game platform.

The original plan to launch the game on Sony Game Station and Vapour gaming platform was announced to be cancelled.

The VR remake project of "Legend of Blade" has started.

After the reset is completed, the game will be exclusively available on the Dream Building Game Platform.

"Black Dream", a new work released by Swedish Paradox Studio in June this year and highly anticipated by players around the world, has been officially confirmed to be launched on the Dream Building Game Platform.

Past old works will also be gradually uploaded to the Dream Building Game Platform.

In the afternoon of the same day, the studio issued another announcement - due to insufficient manpower in the studio and excessive optimization pressure, the release date of Sony Game Station would be postponed.

The specific length of the delay will be announced once it is confirmed.

The new work "Shadow Knight" by French Huolan Studio has announced that it will be launched on the Dream Game Platform in May.

At the same time, the Sony Game Station sales plan was cancelled.

The American Vision Studio announced that its new work "The Voice of Silence" will be released on the DreamBuilding game platform on May 5.

At the same time, the launch plan of Sony Game Station was postponed.

The British Pregrav Studio announced that its latest generation work, Forza Motorsport 6, will be launched on the DreamBuilding game platform in the third quarter of this year.

At the same time, due to technical reasons, the launch plan of Sony Game Station was delayed by one year.

……

Within a day.

18 large and small game studios from all over the world have announced that their new games to be released this year will be available on the Dream Game Platform!
At the same time, cancel or postpone logging into Sony Game Station.

This powerful hammer immediately broke the defense line that Sony Game Station had just stabilized!
