Qiu Bin didn't expect to sell this many copies. Why? Because the target audience for this game had significant overlap with Plants vs Zombies, and the fans of Plants vs Zombies would be on Chen Mo's side!
It might not have mattered so much if there wasn't a bet, but now that there is one, the fans of Plants vs Zombies who wanted to play Guardian of the Holy Spring would wait until next month before purchasing the game.
Of course this meant that Qiu Bin would lose a portion of his players.
Luckily, Emperor Dynasty Entertainment was very supportive. Under the various methods of advertising, Guardian of the Holy Spring managed to capture the attention of players who haven't played Plants vs Zombies. This allowed Guardian of the Holy Spring to double the performance of Plants vs Zombies.
However, Qiu Bin couldn't say that he had this in the bag, as he had yet to check out Chen Mo's game.
