Tamagotchi's overall image and publicity effect are quite good.
Girls with sweet smiles, coupled with vivid and cute creatures, it is difficult for girls to resist cute things.
And perhaps it is some kind of natural maternal nature that has a fatal attraction for them in terms of nurturing and developing this kind of game.
And this thing can also become a decoration.
On the second day, many stores selling Tamagotchi were selling very well.
At two thousand yen, the price itself is not expensive. With a little money, an elementary school student can buy it.
This thing itself has no technical content, and the cost is ridiculously low. Including packaging, the average mass production of one million units is only 500 yen. Excluding publicity, transportation and store profits, the average price is 500 yen.
Then a Tamagotchi with 2,000 yen will double the profit, which is 1,000 yen.
On the day Tamagotchi was released, sales briefly exceeded 50,000 daily sales.
Sales did not decrease at all on the second day and continued to remain at 50,000.
One week later, the sales volume exceeded 300,000.
This is much faster than the Famicom.
Among them, the sincerity of the price is the biggest help. Almost every family can afford 2,000 yen, and they don't mind buying such a toy for their children at all.
This is not like a game console. You have to buy games after buying it. Tamagotchi does not need to buy any additional products at all.
Of course, if you want to take care of it, it's normal to buy a protective case or something, but this thing is even less valuable.
With sales of 300,000 yuan in the first week, Zhuyouxing immediately signed another 2 million contract with its long-term foundry.
Selling Tamagotchi is a plan of Zhuyouxing, and its purpose is to expand the player base.
Relying on cheap products to attract more people who have never played games to gain some exposure.
Even though Tamagotchi is very different from real video games.
Even people who like Tamagotchi may not like other video games, but if you can convert about one-tenth of it, it's a huge profit.
Moreover, Tamagotchi itself is already making crazy money.
In just one month, Tamagotchi has become completely popular among children.
Girls often proudly hold Tamagotchi to show off their babies to others.
"Hey! Your little mouse is so cute!"
"Your big-eared rabbit is also very cute!"
"How about we get married?"
"Okay, okay!"
As the first city in Tokyo, not to mention that every girl now has a Tamagotchi, but it’s pretty much the same.
As Sakurai Kaoru who bought Tamagotchi as soon as possible, she is already the most popular child among her peers.
Because she always completes the baby's training before other children, she is more experienced in raising Tamagotchi than other children.
And this kind of person with enough experience is like a living strategy book. Anyone will greet Sakurai Kaoru politely.
Sakurai Kaoru also felt the feeling of being welcomed for the first time, and this feeling was indeed wonderful.
Within a month, sales of Tamagotchi exceeded 700,000.
If this is really considered a game console, it has already broken the record held by the Famicom.
And this momentum has not diminished at all.
Boys who admire girls will also work part-time to buy Tamagotchi and give them to the girls they like as gifts.
Sometimes, girls have several Tamagotchis in their hands, and the girls are worried. They are also a little tired from raising so many babies at the same time.
But...it feels so fulfilling.
Through the sales of Tamagotchi, just as Takeyusei expected, some girls began to gradually become exposed to video games.
Originally, they were not very interested in video games before, because most video games are specially prepared for boys, and there are not many games for girls.
In order to allow these girls to accept video games, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has released exclusive games for girls for two consecutive months.
One of them is a dress-up game, where you simply put on various costumes. Zhuyouxing randomly selected a game development team, and the development time was quickly completed in less than a month.
You don't even need Zhuyouxing to intervene to help, you can get all the game content, and also do related tests.
Another female game is a relatively simple side-scrolling jumping game.
There are more than fifty game characters in it, all of which are familiar little animals from Tamagotchi.
On the Famicom, these little animals look more lively, jumping and flying up and down on the screen, constantly completing levels.
Several programmers who had experience in developing Super Mario 3 were responsible for making this game. For them, it was a piece of cake. They did not need to fully understand the functions of the red and white consoles.
With these two video games specifically targeted at girls, the sales of the Famicom, which had been slowly decreasing, increased again and returned to around 100,000 sales per week.
For other participating game companies, they never expected that Youxing Electronic Entertainment could play like this and once again increase their sales by leaps and bounds even though they already had all the advantages.
This is no longer just how far Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has surpassed them.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment was just one lap away from them, and the wheels of the car ran over their faces.
At first, these people will only think that video games are a boy's business.
They didn't consider girls' issues.
Because they really can’t think of what kind of games girls would like.
But now Zhu Youxing has given the answer.
You don’t know, right? Then let me, the godfather of video games, tell you the answer.
By the way, we will double the largest market.
In addition to these, Zhu Youxing also knows that girls’ money is the best way to make money.
Most boys pursue gameplay, exquisite graphics, whether the story impresses them, etc.
But most girls don’t require so much. As long as the game is cute enough and beautiful enough, it can attract their attention.
This is not calculated by Zhuyouxing. It is the result of countless years of mature video games in previous lives.
Of course, there are definitely some exceptions among them. There are really girls who like games that are fun enough. Isn’t there a special case in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Aya Tsukino?
Instead, she sneered at this Tamagotchi.
Because in her opinion, this has no technical content and cannot prove her own strength at all.
