Due to well-known reasons, many industries have been greatly impacted at present, but the game market has maintained a rapid development momentum! Every day, a large number of new products appear, and everyone has a lot of choices, but there are still only a few games that can really catch fire. Generally speaking, there are three common ways for the game to catch fire, one is gradual, the product needs to be paved and word-of-mouth publicity, and slowly fire; one is tepid after the launch, with a certain opportunity salted fish reborn; and one is the natural selection product, which is popular all over the world as soon as it is launched!
Recently, The doctor saw an interesting post on the overseas game forum, and professional players summarized all aspects of information, such as: public relations information, performance reports, statistics, etc. of official or third-party statistical agencies, and produced a game first-year revenue list. The games on the list are naturally the natural products mentioned above, and the first year of the game's launch is very profitable! I will share with you today a few of the top products on the list, of course, the statistics of netizens may not be accurate, if you have objections, you can share your data (or source) in the message.
TOP6 Red Dead Redemption 2
"Red Dead Redemption 2" is a god in the minds of many players, and after its launch in 2018, it was unfortunately defeated by "God of War" in the competition for the TGA Game Awards that year, which still makes many fans indignant. After the launch of the game, it was naturally sought after by everyone, and it received $1.65 billion in revenue in its first year! The Doctor himself checked Take Two's performance report and knew that the first year of sales of Red Dead Redemption 2 should be between 25 million and 29 million, so there was nothing wrong with the above revenue data.
TOP5 "Gathering! Animal Forest Friends Association》
Animal Forest Friends is a phenomenal game released by Nintendo in March 2020, and the game earned $2 billion in revenue in its first year! Consider that in November 2020, the game's sales reached 26.04 million, and the above revenue data is also reliable.
TOP4 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Activision Blizzard officials have admitted that the first year sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are the highest in call of duty history, and two-thirds of them are digital versions. The doctor found that the sales of this game launched in 2019 have already exceeded 30 million! Revenue exceeded $2 billion in the first year.
TOP3 "R Star Five Generations"
R Star Five is one of the oldest games on the list, launched in 2013 and earned $2.1 billion in revenue in its first year! This is actually quite easy to understand, modern games are becoming more and more convenient to download digitally, and players are more willing to spend money to play games (the game market is getting bigger and bigger). Limited by previous technical means, the first year of sales of slightly older games is usually not exaggerated, so this can also see the unusualness of R Star V. This is the top three products in the total sales list of the game's history!
TOP2 Fortnite
Fortnite, launched in 2017, generated $2.3 billion in revenue in its first year! This game directly made EPIC soar, and even wanted to do a game store with the veteran platform Steam for a long time. Due to its cross-platform game, coupled with its popularity among overseas communities, it has been one of the most profitable games in recent years. For example, in 2019, the leading PC platform "League of Legends" made $1.5 billion; pokemon Go," a major gold-sucker on the mobile game platform, made $1.4 billion, and Fortnite made $1.8 billion.
TOP1 《Original God》
Friends who often read doctors' articles on mobile game market analysis know that in recent years, in the monthly global mobile game best-seller list, most of the "Original God" has ranked in the top three, and it can get an average of 200 million US dollars in revenue per month, and the first year in the Apple Store and Google Store has accumulated about 2.3 billion US dollars! This figure is similar to "Fortnite", but let's not forget that in addition to the revenue of the two major stores, "Original God" also has the revenue of PlayStaion, PC and third-party Android channels. At present, the doctor has not found specific reliable data, but the professionals have given their own estimates, that is, about 1.4 billion US dollars, that is to say, "Original God" got 3.7 billion US dollars in revenue in the first year!
Regardless of whether the above estimates are accurate or not, "Original God" definitely surpassed "Fortnite" and indeed won the first year's revenue list! As soon as the game was launched, it was loved by players around the world, and the money was full! Some people are naturally curious, what about the products we are familiar with, "Glory of kings" and "PUBG Mobile Game"? In fact, when these games were first launched, they were all in the store, and the first year did not show a strong ability to absorb gold, just as we are familiar with "League of Legends" and "World of Warcraft".
Subsequent games on the list include Monster Marbles ($1.5 billion), Candy Legends ($1.35 billion), Dragon Maze ($1.3 billion), PUBG ($1.25 billion), Paradise M ($1.2 billion), Pokémon Go ($1.15 billion), and more. Minecraft fans seem to be a little dissatisfied, including the Doctor, but have to admit: the game was really not very hot when it was first launched, and it belonged to the kind of game that gradually and slowly became popular.
