🎮 Launch Analysis: The First 3 Months
🇵🇹 Randalroxley: "Milos Blackburn" (PC)
| Metric | Data | Media Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Dungeon and RPG | Solid combination, focus on world design was a hit. |
| Sales (Total) | 16,511 units | Modest sales, but reached a record for the company. |
| Revenue/Profit | $115.6k / $84.6k | Excellent profit margin, indicating low production costs. A very financially efficient launch. |
| Rating Average | 25 (in 62 reviews) | The average score of 25 (out of 100?) is low and could be a long-term weakness, despite favorable initial reviews. |
| Maximum Ranking | 38th | A good initial performance, but it indicates that the game did not become a smash hit. |
* Media Comment: "Milos Blackburn has shown that Randalroxley understands profitability. They have done a lot with little. The profit of $84,600 on revenue of $115,600 is impressive! However, the average score of 25/62 is concerning for the game's longevity in the competitive ZOK market."
🇨🇱 Errollbramford: "Dedric Valentine" (G64)
| Metric | Data | Media Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Farming and RPG | Popular and praised combination. |
| Sales (Total) | 21,564 units | Leads in units sold, showing greater market appeal. |
| Revenue/Profit | $151 thousand / $105 thousand | Higher revenue and profit than rival. Profit of $105k is robust. |
| Rating Average | Undisclosed (in 50 reviews) | The reviews are favorable, but the lack of an average score prevents a direct comparison with Milos Blackburn's score. |
| Maximum Ranking | 29th | Better initial ranking performance, indicating greater visibility at launch. |
* Media Comment: "Errollbramford demonstrated a stronger start to the market. They sold over 5,000 more units and made about $20,000 more profit. The Farming and RPG combination proved to be a sales magnet, and the fact that they had 27 fans in 3 months (vs. 1 fan for Randalroxley) suggests faster base growth."
🔥 The Initial Verdict of the Competition
Financial Analysis (1st Game):
| Company | Units Sold | Recipe | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Errollbramford (Chile) | 21,564 | $151 thousand | $105 thousand |
| Randalroxley (Portugal) | 16,511 | $115.6 thousand | $84.6 thousand |
> "ZOK Economic Commentary: Chile, through Errollbramford, takes the early lead. In the ZOK game, profit is king. $105 thousand vs. $84.6 thousand. It's a clear advantage on the scoreboard, but the race is 30 years! Portugal's next game could be a watershed." - PIB Gamer Magazine

Public Opinion and Social Networks
* 🗣️ #TeamChile: "Dedric Valentine is an addiction! They knew what the public wanted. If they continue like this, Chile will win the $50 trillion and Santiago will become the gaming capital of the world!"
* 🗣️ #TeamPortugal: "Don't underestimate Randalroxley! Their game has an incredible profit margin! This means they have more capital to invest in the next project. 'Milos' was just the warm-up. Focusing on the quality of World Design is what will make the difference in the long run."
* 🗣️ Comment from Netflix CEO (Financier ZOK): "It's inspiring to see the talent of companies from smaller nations shining. This isn't a one-year game; it's a 30-year marathon. The $20,000 difference in initial profit is paltry in the context of $50 Trillion. The real competition starts now: Which of the two will make the better follow-up?"
* 🗣️ Famous Game Critic: "The lesson is clear: Chile got it right in the more mainstream genre with its focus on Agriculture/RPG, and Portugal's PC (Milos Blackburn) seems to have suffered with its focus on a harder Dungeon/RPG niche. Portugal urgently needs to improve its average score in the next release."
Next Steps
Errollbramford (Chile) leads the 1st Edition of the ZOK Games after its debut performance, but Randalroxley (Portugal) demonstrated great financial efficiency. The world eagerly awaits the next launches, which will dictate whether this Chilean advantage will be maintained or whether Portuguese efficiency will translate into future sales success.
