Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"President, according to the current feedback on the Internet, we estimate that the sales data on the first day can reach at least 100,000."

In the conference call, Matsuhashi reported the information he had collected truthfully.

"Can those small retailers hold back?"

"If you can't help it, you have to bear it. After all, they are still very afraid of the compensation in the contract."

"That's good. This is our strategy. It must not be released prematurely, otherwise the publicity effect will be much worse. How are the expectations of the crowd now?"

Matsuhashi replied: "In general, there are about 500,000 gamers in the United States, and 10% of them are interested in SFC, and the rest are developed by ourselves in various universities. The new player group, and the estimated sales data I mentioned is actually relatively conservative, if it is a little more aggressive, I think it is possible for the sales to exceed 300,000 on the first day."

Zhu Youxing said: "Then distribute the goods according to the first-day sales of 500,000 yuan. Anyway, we have no shortage of goods, and remember to promise to the American retailers that we will pay back the original price if we can't sell them. No worries at first.”

Zhu Youxing is really afraid that these small department stores will lose their chains at critical moments, so they have to give them a little bit of information so that they can sell their products with confidence.

As long as the market is opened, then everything behind will be easy to talk about.

"OK."

At this time, Zhu Youxing suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "Oh, by the way, are you ready for the mocking email?"

Matsuhashi paused when he heard the term mocking email, and then smiled and said: "Of course we are ready. In fact, we have already started sending emails of the survey results in our group to the executives of large department stores yesterday, mocking them. They have blind eyes, and even ignored hundreds of thousands of customers."

"Very good, keep it up, you don't need to report the daily sales to me, but don't forget to send one to those department store retailers every day."

"Don't worry, the president, I will definitely manage it beautifully!"

Matsuhashi also showed a slightly sly smile.

This trick can be said to be quite disgusting.

Let your guys who look down on us see our sales, and make you regret going.

Of course, the main reason is to torture them mentally, and finally force them to take the initiative to make peace, willing to accept the game sales rights of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and since the other party takes the initiative to come to the door, there must be some additional conditions. , otherwise there will be no active effect.

After the conference call ended, Zhu Youxing returned to supervise the production of Castlevania.

The game as a whole is now about halfway done.

The first generation of Castlevania in the previous life was released on FC.

And this time Zhuyouxing skipped FC and chose to sell it on SFC, regardless of the screen effects, game sound effects, and game content, it must be more substantial, so there are still many things to do.

This time Zhuyouxing plans to release the first part of Castlevania first, and then release the story content of the second part of Castlevania in the previous life as the expansion of the first part after a while, which is equivalent to the game. DLC, but this is the real game capacity, but the original game materials can be reused, which can greatly reduce the cost of making games, and of course the price can be relatively lower.

The Witcher 3, which was conscientious enough in the previous life, took this path and won a good reputation, but then they themselves were ruined by another game.

In terms of sound effects, Zhu Youxing asked a full-time composer to be the person in charge of the main composition. Under the guidance of Zhu Youxing, this person will try to make the sound effects as close as possible to the classic sound effects of Castlevania in his previous life , making sure it's as good as it gets.

In film and television dramas, excellent theme songs will in turn help the promotion of film and television dramas.

The music of video games actually has the same effect.

For example, the enduring Mario opening sound effects, as well as the classic Dragon Quest Proof of Courage, and Final Fantasy's Crystal Overture, Zhuyouxing is not stingy in this regard, and has given plenty of time and money.

While supervising the development of Castlevania, on the other hand, Zhu Youxing is also constantly watching the movements of the United States.

Street Fighter hasn't been released yet, but it seems like it's been a hit for a long time.

Recently, in the toy section of some department stores, adults and children often come to ask if there is Street Fighter for sale.

Or ask if there is SFC and several other games.

However, the answers given by most mainstream department stores are very consistent.

Sorry, we have not heard of this product, but if you are interested in video games, you can buy the PN game console we are selling, or other Lierda 2600 game consoles and so on.

There are also very fun games on these consoles.

Some people who still don't know much about video games are naturally fooled and spend money to buy these game consoles.

But because they hadn't experienced it before, they had a great time playing it.

In addition to some large department stores, some people who asked about small department stores got another answer.

The street fighter, street basketball, and SFC game consoles you are looking forward to will be officially released on February 1st. Now we have started to accept reservations. If you book, you can also get some small gifts. One game console is 199 dollars, and one game is 69.9 Games, you can't buy them at a loss and you can't be fooled.

Just this kind of pre-sale system has already made these small department stores who have not yet delivered the goods very happy.

At least this proves that this thing is really interesting, and when it is actually released, it should not worry about sales.

In addition, Zhuyouxing promised to provide sufficient supply, and they also opened up the reservation window to their heart's content, and then waited for the official delivery.

And the time soon came to February 1st.

On that day, it did not appear to the extent that Japan was close to empty streets.

After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has only just developed in the United States. No matter how vigorously it is promoted, it will still not be able to generate much social repercussions under the circumstances of competitors deliberately suppressing it.

However, there were still a lot of people waiting in line to buy that day.

Players who have pre-booked can take the pre-booked code and ID to receive the game console and games directly.

On the other side, there are some customers queuing up, most of them are college students from nearby universities.

They are usually the kind of people who have a little spare money and like to follow the trend.

In the crowd, there was a man in his thirties, wearing a suit, who looked a little out of place with the young people in the crowd.

His name is Wilson, and he was lucky enough to go to Japan on a business trip. After experiencing such interesting things as the red and white machine, he was out of control and became a loyal fan of the game machine. At the same time, he did not forget to buy it for his daughter. The gift was a brand new FC game console and a Tamagotchi. That day his daughter cried very sadly and his wife almost beat him to death, but he was very happy inside.
