That night, Nakayama Hayao didn't rest, he just sat quietly in this temporary office until dawn.

The battlefield in Japan was a complete failure. During the 12-hour launch ceremony, Sonic did not even sell 10,000 copies. This can be said to be the worst defeat in Sega's history.

In particular, Sonic was intended to be used as Sega's new signature. So many resources were invested, but the sales volume was less than 10,000 copies.

There is no way to explain this to the board of directors in any case, but there is still hope. As long as Sonic can make a strong comeback in the European and American battlefields, there is still a chance...

"President...President."

The secretary lowered his head and did not dare to look at Hayao Nakayama's expression at this time. Sales in Europe and the United States are indeed good, much better than in Japan.

But the sales volume was still not worth the effort Sega put into Sonic. Within 12 hours of its launch, Sonic sold more than 40,000 copies throughout Europe and the United States.

At first glance, more than 40,000 copies seems a lot, but this is for the entire Europe and America, including the United States, Germany, France and other developed countries.

The sales volume of 40,000 copies in 12 hours cannot match the sales volume of MD!

"How many..."

Seeing the secretary's expression, Nakayama Hayao already knew the result, but he was unwilling to give in! He wanted to hear the sales volume with his own ears!

"47,392 copies..."

Hayao Nakayama gave up, completely gave up. Sales in Europe and the United States only exceeded 40,000 copies in 12 hours. Sonic really couldn't turn around.

"President, please take care of yourself."

Nakayama Hayao waved his hand dejectedly to stop his secretary who was coming to help him.

"I'm fine, go back."

He knew that his position as president was over. If the sales volume of more than 40,000 copies were changed to another game, the board of directors would laugh until they could not sleep.

But this is Sonic, a Sonic with a total investment of more than 300 million US dollars! This is Sega's next signature!

...

"Mr. Liu, the sales statistics are out."

Ma Yun walked to Liu Zhiyuan with several data reports.

"What's Sonic."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to the sales of Adventures of Twelve Lives at all. As far as the situation in Japan is concerned, Europe and the United States are not bad either!

Sega's main battlefield is not in Japan, nor is the Han Dynasty! Sales in Europe and the United States must far exceed Japan. This is no need to think about it. The key is Sonic's sales!

"47,392 copies."

When Ma Yun said this number, he didn't notice that his tone was vibrating. It wasn't because Sonic was the winner in The Adventures of Twelve Lives.

I was frightened by the sales of Sonic. Faced with such a huge disadvantage, it actually sold more than 40,000 copies.

Don’t always look at Han Dynasty’s games to easily sell tens of millions of copies. A launch event can sell dozens or even millions of copies.

But looking at the whole world, how many games have this level of sales? Apart from the phenomenal games of the Han Dynasty, the only one left is Super Mario!

More than 40,000 copies are really not that small, especially since the popularity rate of MD is not high and it was targeted by the Han Dynasty.

"You know you're afraid?"

Damn it! He himself was frightened when he heard this sales volume!

"Guess, if there were no Adventures of Twelve Lives and our targeting this time, how many copies of Sonic would have been sold during its global premiere?"

Ma Yun didn't dare to speak. He didn't take Sonic seriously at all at first, but reality slapped him hard.

If it weren't for Liu Zhiyuan's desperate targeting, Sonic's sales would have exploded! At least there would be no problem at all with hundreds of thousands of copies coming out of the global launch ceremony!

"Don't underestimate the world's heroes, that's Sega! Before the emergence of the Han Dynasty, it was the only one that could compete with Nintendo!"

More than 40,000 copies, how dare you sell it!

Liu Zhiyuan is now terrified. If Sonic hadn't been targeted, he wouldn't have had to deal with Sega in the past few years, and I'm afraid there would never be such a good opportunity again.

Sonic is the first game to come out. It’s not Liu Zhiyuan’s exaggeration. In this day and age, no one can face such a target with a new game, and the sales volume will never exceed 10,000,000!

Except for people in the industry who don’t understand games, everyone in Sonic’s sales was shocked.

Those who did not understand Liu Zhiyuan before the Han Dynasty are now as honest as quails.

The sales volume of Sonic is what keeps them honest. They are all veterans in the industry. They have sold more than 40,000 copies in such an extreme situation. It is impossible for them to not understand the significance of this.

Many Nintendo employees discovered that their president was in an especially good mood today, which could be seen from the stoic face he used to have.

"Nakayama Hayao, Sonic..."

Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't know how many times he had mentioned the name of this pair today.

For the first time, he sincerely hoped that the Han Dynasty game would be a hit, because he knew that The Adventures of Twelve Lives would not be able to stop it.

With Pocket Elf endorsing it, how could sales be poor? What’s more, the quality itself is top-notch.

The reason why he is sincere is because the Adventures of Twelve Lives defeated Sonic.

With sales of more than 40,000 copies, he was a little confused when he heard this figure. At least he didn't think that if Nintendo developed a brand new game, it would be able to sell more than 40,000 copies in the face of this level of targeting.

He also tried playing Sonic, and all important members of Nintendo tried it.

They came to the conclusion that this is a phenomenal game, if not for The Adventures of Twelve Lives.

The Han Dynasty was already destroying Nintendo's foundation, but Sega was demolishing Nintendo's home!

Both are threats to Nintendo, but the real threat from the Han Dynasty will have to wait for a while, because the Han Dynasty did not have a home console.

No matter how brilliant the elf is, it cannot completely replace the home console. Nintendo still has the final say in this market.

But Sega is different. To be fair, Sega's MD is really not bad. If there is another phenomenal masterpiece, Nintendo will immediately have to fight on two fronts.

On the one hand, it has to deal with Liu Zhiyuan's various poaching behaviors, and on the other hand, it also has to fight with Sega in the home console market. This is not an easy task for Nintendo.

"Liu Jun, you did a great job."

Sonic can definitely increase the sales of MD. Hiroshi Yamauchi can be sure that he will abandon the Adventures of Twelve Lives and just talk about Sonic.
Chapter completed!
