For many players, Dragon Quest is their favorite right now.
In the queue, y
Wearing a red cloak, a horn helmet, and holding a plastic sword and shield.
The children in the team are now staring at the large poster of Dragon Quest, imagining what kind of story it will be like in Dragon Quest.
When the doors of the authorized stores officially opened, the crowd began to commotion, and the scene was very spectacular. The number of people queuing in front of almost all authorized stores almost occupied their respective blocks.
The eyes of other shops in Tongtong Street will pop out of their heads when they see it.
That kind of heartfelt envy, jealousy and hatred cannot be concealed.
Look at how popular the game consoles sold in other stores are, while the stores selling other products are deserted. The contrast is really obvious.
These stores have begun to consider whether to transform into stores selling video games.
The enthusiasm of players in the series of games has obviously increased a lot.
This is not the same as Super Mario 3.
The plot of Super Mario 3 itself is not coherent, it is a fairly traditional story of rescuing the princess, and the story changes in different ways in each movie.
Super Mario 3 is more about gameplay.
However, Dragon Quest is about equal parts story and gameplay.
Countless players hope to see a new adventure story, which is a very powerful attraction.
In addition, the sales of red and white consoles have now exceeded one million, and will soon reach two million, and the number of people is much larger than before.
Inside the store, in addition to the normal queue sales area, there are also several game play areas.
As long as you put in coins, you can play the game in advance.
Nowadays, these places are also strongly occupied, and almost every game console in the entertainment area has only one game in front of it, and that is Dragon Quest 3.
It’s not that these tourists don’t have money, they are impatient and want to have a good time before buying, and then they won’t be too late to buy again when the queue is almost gone.
For a time, the whole store was crowded with people, almost to the point of being crowded together, just like the Chinese Spring Festival travel scene.
"I want ten boxes of Dragon Quest 3!"
"Sorry, guest, we are currently implementing a purchase restriction policy. Each person can only purchase two boxes for the time being. These are your two boxes of Dragon Quest. Thank you for your patronage."
"Please give me a game console and a box of Dragon Quest 1 and 3."
"Okay, thank you for your business."
…
These store clerks are absolutely busy right now.
But they seem to be getting used to this kind of work.
There are always a few days every month that are particularly busy. It may last from 8 o'clock in the morning to around 10 o'clock in the evening.
But these days are often the days when they earn the most, so they are very happy.
Moreover, their work is not uninterrupted, and there will be someone to take over in the middle. Otherwise, even an iron man will never be able to last this long.
Thanks to the booming sales, Dragon Quest once again broke the sales record for Famicom games.
The sales figure was 130,000 on the first day, and the sales figure was more than 20,000 every subsequent day.
In the end, Dragon Quest 3’s first-week sales reached an astonishing 280,000 yuan, almost hitting the 300,000 mark in the butt.
You know, the price of Dragon Quest 3 is a full 7,000 yen.
The price is the same as the Famicom, which cost more than 180,000 yuan in the first two days, and the sales were a full 2 billion yen!
This is simply a money grab!
And it’s still a money grab that doesn’t make sense at all.
This is a first-party game. Excluding 30% of the sales cost, the cartridge cost is almost negligible. In this week, Dragon Quest alone has a net profit of at least 1.3 billion.
But this time Zhuyouxing did not conceal this data.
This kind of data itself is so scary that it can’t be concealed.
In one week, a small company that has been established for less than a year can make a sales profit of 1.3 billion.
If it is a large company and has sufficient publicity channels, the data may be even more terrifying.
This time, even Surui Electronics was shocked and held a meeting overnight to discuss whether to increase capital investment in the electronic game division.
This kind of sales data is no longer something Surui Electronics can easily ignore.
Even this kind of weekly sales data is only for a specific time, but this week alone is already a huge profit.
However, at this time, most people in Youxing Electronic Entertainment were not happy.
Because during the release of Dragon Quest 3, another thing happened.
During Fuji TV's evening news period, a talk show was temporarily inserted.
The title of the program is: Why does a video game lead to many vicious incidents of group fights? Are video games the source of evil?
The program begins with a video clip.
The video was very shaky and seemed to have been shot with a handheld camera. From time to time, there would be noisy and cursing sounds in the video.
"Asshole! This is my game!"
"Nonsense! I obviously bought it first! I queued up all day and all night!"
"Go to hell!"
In the video footage, several people were fighting together with their teeth and claws open, and several boxes of Dragon Quest III cassettes were scattered not far away.
Surrounding these struggling people was a group of people who were a little uneasy and frightened.
Immediately afterwards, the camera of the video slowly moved to the scattered Dragon Quest 3 cassette box, and the screen gradually zoomed in. The cassette box was now wrinkled and stained with a little blood.
At the same time, the cursing voice in the screen has not ended yet.
In the end, the picture was frozen on the blood-stained cassette box, and then there was a Fuji TV signature opening sound effect.
Several people who looked very academic were sitting on the sofa in the studio, and the good-looking host was sitting on the side.
When the camera zoomed in, the host smiled and spoke.
"To the viewers in front of the TV, I'm sorry for temporarily inserting a new program. It's just that something unexpected happened. Our TV station has a responsible attitude towards society and feels that we need to stand up and speak out."
"You must have seen a video before the show started. This was a contribution from an anonymous person. He showed us a video of a certain product on the day it was launched."
"In it, people fought over the ownership of a product, resulting in several people being arrested and several people seriously injured. Moreover, this was not just a scene that happened in one place, but in several places.
.”
"Everyone in the audience should also be curious now about what kind of thing can lead to such vicious fights, so let me reveal the secret to you. This product is a thing called a video game, and it has also been popular recently.
Pretty hot stuff, and that's what led to the fight in the picture."
