Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 339 Sales of over 100 million

Zhuyouxing proposed to give results in one or two years.

This can be regarded as giving him some time to relax.

At the moment, his focus is still Final Fantasy 7, and everything else has to be put aside for the time being.

But he can first propose new development tasks to other restricted development teams, clarify the framework of the real-time strategy game, and then let them toss for a while.

The time came to October 1999. After four months of sales of GS1, the sales volume has reached the level of tens of millions.

It was the console with the second highest sales figures that year.

The highest game is the GBA, which has sold for half a year more this year. Its sales in the ten months of this year have reached 13 million units, which is very scary.

Now that the sales of electronic games have really entered a white-hot stage, the game industry is rising rapidly, and it is no longer like the small fights of hundreds of millions in the past.

During this period of time, there were several video games with tens of millions of sales.

Not counting the bundled games, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and the retail version of Tetris all managed to break through tens of millions of sales.

It is worth mentioning that the sales data of the original FC game console exceeded 100 million after six years.

Originally, according to business rules, such an old machine should have entered the elimination process, and if it is more radical, it may be that the new host will be directly discontinued.

But Zhuyou Xing still has feelings for the first game console he created.

So even if you don't make much money now, as long as you don't lose money, the factory will continue to produce.

But now this machine is more sold to other countries with less economic capacity.

Even if tariffs are included, the average selling price does not exceed ten dollars.

For ten dollars, you can get a genuine game console with better after-sales service. Even if the counterfeit game console has an advantage in price, it is still not as good as the genuine one.

Coupled with the open source of game consoles, pirated games are not strictly restricted, which has become the biggest childhood playmate of children in many countries.

After all, Zhu Youxing started playing with pirated versions when he was young, so he is relatively tolerant in this regard. Of course, it is only limited to outdated old machines. Go to the lawyers' group, no matter how much money you spend, they will sue you until bankruptcy.

Even in terms of business behavior, this is also not wise, because it will cost too much money and it is not worthwhile at all.

Perhaps because of Zhu Youxing's tough behavior, many hackers who engage in small tricks dare not go too far.

When FC's sales exceed 100 million, it is natural that there will be some celebrations.

Breaking one million, breaking ten million, breaking one hundred million, these are very commemorative numbers, and it is also a good low-cost publicity opportunity, proving the strong strength of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

But the current players' attention is still more focused on GS1.

After several months of sales, there are more than one hundred games on GS1.

Almost every month, there are different games, large and small, that log on to this console.

And every month there are at least two or three games with good quality 3D graphics released.

Some from first parties and some from third parties.

Players experienced the charm of new-age video games through GS1, and now they are addicted to it.

The more they play the GS1 game console, the more they dislike the game consoles of other game companies.

Compared with GS1, other game consoles are really not a bit worse.

Just take a look at the game consoles of Surui Electronics.

Oh by the way, there have been some decent graphics games on the PC lately.

But now most people still use computers as work supplies, so there is no official statistical organization to count the sales of PC games.

As the FF7 trial version bundled with GS1, many players have played it no less than ten times.

After all, the total process of this trial play is only two or three hours.

The more they play, the more they are immersed in this beautiful worldview.

I'm dying without playing Final Fantasy 7.

This is a thread that has been popping up in the community forums recently, showing players' desire for Final Fantasy VII.

Under such desire, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment finally announced the latest development progress of Final Fantasy 7 in a small face-to-face meeting.

Development is already in an advanced stage, and if there is time, it should be officially released around March-April early in the new millennium.

The best game of the year will not compete with Mario 64.

It's always meaningless for your own family to beat your own family.

Players are naturally very happy to get a relatively accurate release time.

They can finally live a new millennium with peace of mind.

The current game development process has also come to the end plot of Final Fantasy 7, and the rest is the production of animation CG.

There is really no way to compress the production cycle of animation CG. This is completely physical work, which requires a huge amount of calculations to calculate the CG animation. Spending too much money will not have too much effect, so we can only wait patiently.

As the last Christmas of the new millennium, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also carried out a special promotion. The price of all games was reduced by 10%, and the price of game consoles was reduced by 20%.

This immediately stimulated the consumption enthusiasm of players.

Usually, it is difficult for Youxing Electronic Entertainment to lower the price of games, unless the game reaches the outdated standard set by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is about a two-year time limit.

Video games that have been released for more than two years will be listed as obsolete games, and then participate in special price reduction activities.

It is quite rare to be able to reduce the price of a game during the popular period. Players have carried out short-term crazy consumption, which has allowed Youxing Electronic Entertainment to surge in sales before the year before. The road is paved.

"Thank you for your hard work this year, because the new millennium is coming, so I think I will take a holiday from now on, everyone, please go back and have an unforgettable new year. By next year, we will be the masters of the new millennium."

The day before Christmas, Zhu Youxing personally announced the official start of the holiday.

Zhuyouxing gave the employees a half-month long vacation directly to thank them for their hard work over the years.

The employees naturally celebrated with joy and encouragement.

To be honest, although they didn't work much overtime during this period, they were full of enthusiasm when they worked, but the feeling of having a long vacation is always different.

They thanked Zhuyouxing one after another, shouted Zhuyouxing long live, and then went back to their respective homes.

Today, each of these Youxing Electronic Entertainment employees earns a lot of money, even in Japan, a market environment where the economy is going down, they are the most nourishing group of people.

Their New Year is naturally the happiest.

And all this thanks to Zhu Youxing.
