"Diablo, oh, of course I know, I've heard of it, I know this is America's most popular game among young people recently, I will try it, this is a new way of entertainment for young people..."

On the TV news, an interview clip was being played. It was an interview that the current commander-in-chief met in San Jose when he was canvassing for votes in California. That day was the day when "Diablo" was released for one week, and global sales exceeded one million.

The reporter who interviewed, the brand of TV station C, this was of course deliberately planned by Xueleshan Company, and the price was that Xueleshan donated a check of 1.5 million US dollars to the campaign office of the leader.

The commander-in-chief was also happy to cooperate. On the one hand, the campaign office received funds. On the other hand, it also showed his attitude towards young people in America. He was happy to mingle with the new generation of young people.

"Boss, do you still want to report on the news about "Diablo"?"

CNN TV, news director and president of N TV, Jeffrey Zucker asked, N TV, like all major American TV stations, is busy with election news and is constantly doing polls on several candidates.

news.

But CNN TV station also reported news about its future competitor, another company owned by the sponsor of ICNC TV station.

But who could have imagined that, after n's ridicule, "Diablo" would make Blizzard's parent company, Snow Mountain, become the next Atari, and bring Song Yang, an upstart Internet player, to face Waterloo.

n reported that starting on the second day, "Diablo" began to counterattack all the way. Not only did the single-day sales not decline, but it increased against the trend. The daily sales soared to more than 200,000 units. This is unprecedented in the history of American games.

Never appeared before!

n TV station is in embarrassment. A few days ago, it was reported that Snow Mountain could no longer carry it. Then, in just one week, "Diablo" sold one million units, earning $60 million.

!

Now the entire American game industry is crazy about "Diablo". Media from all major game industries are praising Blizzard for breaking the monopoly of Japanese game manufacturers in North America!

Jeffrey Zucker glanced at the news director and began to consider whether to change to a less blind director. Reporting to "Diablo" at this time would be of no use other than providing heat to the other party.

"You need to focus not on the election, but on an inconsequential small game company. The purpose of establishing TV station?!" Jeffrey Zucker angrily asked the supervisor.

CNN is no longer reporting the news about "Diablo", but the popularity of Diablo has not diminished, but has intensified.

"Blizzard has created a new era of games. It has given the game industry a say. From Japan to America, Diablo has created an era of RPG games and online games!"

As a die-hard media supporter, "Wired" magazine praised Song Yang, but it was never shabby and directly defined the two concepts of arpg and online games in the name of Blizzard.

"Diablo continues to heat up in America and overseas markets, with single-day sales exceeding 200,000 units. It is expected to continue to sell well in the future. With sales of one million units in the first week, Blizzard has set a new record!"

Silicon Valley media, the Oakland Tribune, also praised Diablo.

"It's not just game sales. Snow Mountain Online, which provides the "Battle.net" game platform for Diablo users, has more than 4 million downloads worldwide, making it the fastest growing website this year.

The Xueleshan online platform not only provides players with a multiplayer battle mode, but also provides more than 1,700 downloadable games. In the future, this may become one of the most important sales channels in the game industry!"

The San Francisco Science and Technology News, a Silicon Valley media, paid attention to Xueleshan Online. Xueleshan Online developed through recruiting people, and its development speed was ridiculously fast. In just one week, the number of downloads exceeded 4 million.

This is compared to the sales of one million copies of the game, and it has frightened many companies throughout Silicon Valley. You must know that the popularity of a game will always decline, but having a channel and platform is equivalent to owning

With millions of "fixed" users, this is the scariest thing. Internet companies in Silicon Valley have "seen" the purpose of Xueleshan's online gaming platform, which is to occupy the PC gaming market!

"Due to the hot sales of Diablo and the network demand of the Snow Mountain online platform, America Telecom's broadband business has experienced explosive growth in the past week. So far, the number of users has increased by more than 78,000 in one week!"

Diablo's ability to sell goods is somewhat beyond the expectations of the outside world. Not only has sales skyrocketed, so has the download volume of the battle platform Snow Mountain Online, but even America Online, which provides network services, has begun to see a surge in broadband users. This

The impact of a game is somewhat beyond the expectations of the outside world.

Who would have thought that America Telecom tried its best to not let users accept broadband. However, due to the demand for a game, the broadband business surged. Especially in American cities, calls for broadband calls were flying towards America Telecom like snowflakes.

passed.

Diablo has the ability to bring goods, but that’s not all. As a console partner, Sony’s PS console sales have also begun to increase sharply, especially in Europe and North America. As the game console that Diablo cooperates with, Sony’s PS game console,

The single-day sales also hit a new high since the launch, which even Sony did not expect!

The hot sales in the first week made the outside world start to focus on "Diablo" to see whether it is a flash in the pan or whether it will really set a new game sales record.

ign, gamestop, Yahoo Entertainment Channel, game groups on icq, etc., as long as they are related to games, were quickly swept by "Diablo" within a few days, and the popularity continued to increase.

In the second week after its release, without any surprises, "Diablo" once again swept the sales volume of 200,000 units around the world. Xueleshan has reached sales agreements with agents in more regions around the world.

Huaguo's sales agency rights were handed over offline to Ogilvy Electronics, which was just established this year, and Lianbang Software, the former employer of the founder of 8848, while online sales were handed over to 8848 and Yinghaiwei. "Diablo" began to fully

Enter the domestic market.

Not only domestically, “Diablo”

It has also begun to be sold in other parts of the world, such as Bangzi, Siam, Taiwan, Hong Kong City, Singapore, the Middle East, South America and other regions. Diablo discs from the Snow Mountain Warehouse are also being shipped over.

"Diablo's sales may far exceed outside expectations. Today, some game retail stores in Chicago have begun to see Diablo out of stock. Some game industry experts and analysts predict Diablo's first-month sales.

, may reach an astonishing four million sets, and the only thing that may be able to stop Diablo is its production capacity..."

On a Chicago TV station, players began to queue up in a long queue in front of a game retail store. Diablo was so popular that as time went by, not only did it not go out, but it became even more popular, and even began to be out of stock.

"Diablo's sales this month can already fill 7,899 Cadillac cars, or fill the refrigerator in the home of Sierra President Ken Williams 3,567 times!

The stacked packaging boxes of all the Diablo game discs sold this month are long enough to connect the earth to the International Space Station and back, which is equivalent to the length of 4.37 million bacons. All the physical versions of Diablo this month are

The total weight of the game disc is equivalent to 550 male narwhals or 875 female narwhals.

Or maybe it's the same as 8,262 overweight gamers, or maybe the $236 million that a cash truck needs to transport Sierra to a bank vault!"

On NBC, during the evening prime news time, the program host was making fun of "Diablo". Of course, he was also promoting to the outside world the records set by Diablo this month.

Behind the background of the news, there is a scene of a celebration held by Sierra at its headquarters in San Jose for sales exceeding 4 million. At the banquet, beautiful knives fell one after another. Diablo sales exceeded 4 million in the first month, and the revenue exceeded 200 million.

Thirty-six million, these are new records in the American gaming industry!

Cameron was passing by the streets of Chicago and saw a long queue in front of Thomas's small game store. He saw many people on the ign forum saying that "Diablo" was out of stock, but there was no news.

Thinking of it, even Thomas's shop had a long queue one day.

Seeing this scene, Cameron couldn't help but be glad that he bought it early, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy it even if he added money. Even if he went to the Xueleshan online platform to win people and redeemed game codes, he might not be able to win. It was really snowy.

The number of user downloads of Leshan Online has exceeded the 15 million mark. Friends and players who are familiar with Cameron have already been persuaded to register for Leshan Online accounts.

After just a few steps, he saw two or three big gangsters walking towards him. Seeing the gang signs on a few people, Cameron couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't expect that these people would dare to do so in broad daylight.

In the chaos, Cameron couldn't help but look around, trying to find an escape route, planning to hide in Thomas's game store first.

But who would have known that before Cameron could apply oil on his feet, three old black men came to Cameron mysteriously. The three of them surrounded Cameron. The one in the middle opened his clothes, and there turned out to be something inside.

A series of "Diablo" game discs.

"Brother, do you want to play one? It only costs fifty dollars, no activation code is required, and you can play it directly!" The big guy in the middle looked around a few times, and then said to Cameron in a low voice.
