Chapter 410 20.94 million copies sold in 28 hours

Liu Zhiyuan was confused as he held the phone. What happened during the more than ten hours on the plane?

"what happened?"

"The success of Heartbeat Memories has given hope to small third parties. They want to join the camp of the Han Dynasty. If one day their games can be loved by you, I hope you can help promote them."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head when he heard Ma Yun's words. He did not expect that the success of Heartbeat Memories would be such a good thing.

“Are there any third parties of concern?”

"No, I wrote down the names of each company and then compared them with the names you left. There is no overlap."

Liu Zhiyuan was silent. He understood the thinking of these small companies. They just thought that "ordinary" games like Heartbeat Memories could become super masterpieces through promotion.

But he knows very well that Heartbeat Memories is not simple. This game is very ordinary in terms of gameplay, and there are similar games on the market.

But Heartbeat Memories has achieved the ultimate in every aspect, and he even dared to say that neither Nintendo nor Sega can do this.

It’s not that they lack ability, it’s that it’s completely unworthy. The development cost of Doki Memories is the highest among all games in the Han Dynasty.

If it weren't for the purpose of promoting the Chinese mythology system, he would never have made this game to this extent. The Han Dynasty is not a charity.

Han Dynasty is a commercial game company, and making money is the company's core priority. The normal selling price of Heartbeat Memories should be at least 50 US dollars.

All the senior officials of the Han Dynasty understood the significance of this game. This is why the price of 20 US dollars was unanimously approved. If it were 50 US dollars, there would never be the current sales volume.

"Are you going to take them in?"

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while.

"Yes, but tell them that promotion and publicity of this level is very difficult to obtain. Don't expect to achieve success in one go."

"clear."

The promotion of Heartbeat Memories has the highest specifications among all products of Han Dynasty. The US$1 billion wedding is actually paving the way for Heartbeat Memories.

Including these six open-air dinners and other expenses, the publicity expenditure of "Heartbeat Memories" has exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

Spending hundreds of millions of dollars to promote a game, no matter how rubbish it is, can create a trend, especially in this era.

There are many examples of this kind of games that rely on money to increase the popularity of games in later generations, such as Classic of Mountains and Seas, various legends, etc. It can be said that these games have nothing worth mentioning at all.

But people are popular and companies are making money. Don’t worry about how rubbish they are. The purpose of these companies has been achieved.

"I'll give you a task to collect the treatment of third parties in the gaming industry, at various levels."

It is also time to prepare for the treatment of third parties under the Han Dynasty. Capcom is definitely the first level, but this level is the easiest.

The treatment is second only to the games developed by the Han Dynasty itself, but the uneven third parties below are not easy to arrange.

"I understand, then I'll hang up first."

"kindness."

Along the way, Liu Zhiyuan was thinking about the third party of Han Dynasty. Before, the only third parties of Han Dynasty were Capcom and Namco.

There are so many small companies all of a sudden now, which is both a good thing and a trouble.

If it weren't for the sole purpose of monopolizing the home game console market, he wouldn't be prepared to recruit those unknown third parties, since their games wouldn't be that outstanding anyway.

On the contrary, it would occupy the resources of the Han Dynasty. How did Atari collapse? Wasn't it caused by spam distribution of games?

The Han Dynasty cannot follow in its footsteps, but it is unjustifiable not to provide resources. There must be many companies paying attention to this first batch of ordinary third parties who have come to join us.

Letting them fend for themselves is not conducive to poaching Nintendo, but taking too much care of them is not good either. The degree of this needs to be controlled well.

He suddenly understood why Nakayama Hayao was so exclusive. Sega's R&D technology was not comparable to those of small companies.

You have to take care of them if you take them in. With Hayao Nakayama's character, it would be damned if he is willing to take care of them. Sure enough, any answer you get if you don't think about the problem from others' point of view is all nonsense.

The news that a large number of ordinary third parties want to defect to the Han Dynasty cannot be concealed at all, but except for Nintendo, no one else pays attention to this at all. The activities of Heartbeat Night are the focus of the world.

...

"Have the data not been compiled yet?"

"This data is very important, and there must be no mistakes."

"President, come out."

"President, please take a look at the sales volume of Han Dynasty Heartbeat Memories world premiere."

"Where are the reviews of Heartbeat Memories? Why haven't the latest ones been sent over yet?"

“Good reviews, all good reviews...”

"..."

Heartbeat Memories ended, and as soon as it ended, all the companies in the game industry started to collect the sales of this launch like crazy.

Because they saw a new path. It is very difficult to make a super masterpiece. It is very difficult. A company may not be able to develop a super masterpiece in its lifetime.

But Heartbeat Memories is not a super masterpiece, although its sales are the super masterpiece among super masterpieces.

Because of this, they frantically collect everything they can remember in a heartbeat. Super masterpieces cannot be copied.

But heartbeat memory is a miracle that can be replicated. As long as they understand Liu Zhiyuan's methods, they can also replicate such a miraculous night.

"The first 28-hour sales volume in Akihabara, Japan, was 2,937,392."

"The first 28-hour sales on New York Avenue in the United States were 3,188,842."

"28-hour sales on Kurdammstrasse, Berlin, Germany, 2,142,948."

"28-hour sales on the Champs Elysées in Paris, France, 2,598,274."

"28-hour sales on Oxford Street, London, UK, 2,252,684."

"28-hour underground sales in Montreal, Canada, 1.883850."

"The total number of copies in other regions so far is 5,938,495."

"The total global sales volume of Han Dynasty Heartbeat Memories in 28 hours was 20.942485 copies."

Even though Liu Zhiyuan had already estimated the approximate sales volume, when he heard the exact figures, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Sales of more than 20 million copies in 28 hours is no longer a miracle. Miracles can happen from time to time, but this sales volume may never happen again.

He himself doesn't believe that any game after the Han Dynasty can sell 20 million copies in 28 hours, unless the Internet era arrives.

The sales volume of more than 20 million is due to many reasons. The main reason is that he had no intention of making Dokimi Memories profitable, which is why he has such terrifying sales.

With a selling price of 20 US dollars and a promotion fee of hundreds of millions of US dollars, Heartbeat Memories has lost money, and it will not be able to recoup its capital even if it sells more than 20 million copies.

Moreover, the sales of Heartbeat Memories are likely to experience a cliff-like decline, because this time the consumer base is exhausted.

Don’t forget, the sales of more than 20 million copies are limited. Those who don’t play games are likely to transfer the game cartridges of Heartbeat Memories.

This number will not be too small, at least over one million copies, which will greatly affect the subsequent sales of Heartbeat Memories.
