Market positioning和其他的游戏产品相比,我们的产品是需要深度体验以及高操作要求的,具体的对比图表见附件。
Positioning strategyPossible competitive advantages:Better pictureMore balanced game designTo enrich the connotation of the gameThe more the real operation experience根据游戏市场的现状,好的画面现在已经比较普遍,真实的游戏体验也是现在游戏产品的一个通性,所以我们放弃了这个可能的竞争优势,选择更有发展的竞争优势,因此我们选择“More balanced game design & To enrich the connotation of the game”作为我们目标竞争优势。
“M ore for more”对于我们暴雪的产品,我们定位于更高的价格对应更多的利益,也就是所说的“M ore for more”。
在中国市场暴雪的游戏产品相对于国内大多数单机游戏产品,价格要高出5~10倍,但是我们提供更好的游戏感受,在我们的游戏中玩家所获得的远不是其他游戏产品所能比拟的。
所以我们更高的价格对应更多的利益。
