Upcoming puzzles

Just got new news from moyu thanks to me
 
If companies don’t allow their cubes to “breathe” in between their releases (meaning they don’t give individual cubes to have their moment of popularity before releasing another one), there runs a risk that they could sabotage their own releases and possibly prevent a cube that could’ve gotten a heavy number of sales dwindled. This is also coupled with the fact that flagship culture comes into play, which could also hinder company sales.

fortunately MoYu hasn’t done something like this since 2016, even giving their budget Meilong line some breathing time before releasing another cube.

QiYi, however, might be digging their grave with it. The WuWei was completely overshadowed, along with the Warrior S. The Tclap v3 was given barely enough breathing time, yet it wasn’t as relevant as the upcoming velite, which almost certainly hurt sales.

Furthermore, it is also a bit of brand suicide, They killed the thunderclap line in the name of the Valk (the Tclap v1 was one of the best for its time,) and the WuWei being a mere budget cube disregards the mass success of all the other cubes in the Wu Line.

Ironically, the only one who seems to know what they are doing with their marketing right now is MoYu; they know their target audiences well, and they give all their products a time to shine without sabotaging their products in the name of flagship culture. Every cube in the MoYu lineup seems to know it’s place, which I can’t say for many other brands.

There's only so many flagship 3x3s you can release before people realize nothing's being added. Gan needs to release other puzzles, or they'll fall soon.
Agreed. They need to release something different soon, but they’ve done fine releasing too many 3x3s for a while now. It’s just not an infinite well.
 
Really
