Slightly unexpectedly, Pokémon did not cause much craze.
Of course sales are also good.
On the basis that gb already has one million users during this period, it has sales of more than 200,000 in the first week.
Interested players did not wait in line for long when purchasing on the day of release, and quickly bought the Pokémon game they wanted.
And there are more children who don’t seem to be interested.
Looking at the first week sales results, Zhu Youxing frowned and thought in the office.
At the same time, the screen on the computer on his desk stayed on the Kazuo Game Network. Because Murakami Kazuo had obtained the Pokémon game in advance, he also posted his evaluation of Pokémon.
"Pokémon: A very special game, but it doesn't seem to be particularly fun."
"Recommended star rating: three stars."
"First of all, I am a player, and secondly, I am a game reviewer. I have my mission, which is to give the most pertinent evaluation of all the games I review without any utilitarian factors."
"I have been very excited when I have experienced first-party games from Youxing Electronic Entertainment in advance many times before. However, this time I am not as happy as I expected."
"The main elements of Pokémon are collection and challenge. This is different from the brave warriors who fought against the devil in the past and the warriors who fought against evil. This game will make you feel a relaxed atmosphere."
"You can see many strange creatures in this world. They can be captured and become your partners. Then you can use these partners to fight with your opponents and win. This is the special gameplay I am talking about, and it is different from the previous one.
all different."
"But what I have to say is that I actually prefer more exciting games, but this game makes me feel a bit bland."
"That's why I gave this game three stars. Three stars is my passing star rating, which means that the game is complete enough and the content is substantial enough, but it is difficult to attract me, but I believe that every game is different.
People will like it, so if you are a player with the spending power, you can try this game. If not, I think you can wait and see first, don’t be too anxious.”
This is the general evaluation given by Kazuo Murakami.
This evaluation is actually quite fair.
In the first generation of Pokémon games in the previous life, there were actually many game bugs. In addition, the developers of the first generation were somewhat insufficient, the development was hasty, and the graphics were somewhat poor. As a result, the initial evaluation of the game was not high, and it was also inconsistent with
Like Kazuo Murakami, the evaluation can only be said to be passing.
However, this game made by Zhu Yuxing has been as good as possible. The game is more complete overall, with almost no vicious bugs, and the picture quality is much better than the first generation Pokémon in the previous life.
But it didn't bring about the expected explosion.
This made Zhu Youxing scratch his head a little.
It seems that some video games really need to add some elements of luck. It does not mean that just copying the games from previous lives will make them completely popular.
Some game companies and game console manufacturers that took a wait-and-see attitude immediately began to do whatever they wanted after seeing this result.
It seems that this game should only be regarded as an attempt by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but this attempt did not have very good results.
Several game companies that had originally planned to make a similar game also immediately gave up and turned to making eye-catching games based on the content reviewed by Yinan Game Network.
"President, maybe we made a mistake this time. If you want to blame, just blame us."
The development of Pokémon this time was done by Zhuyouxing, who recruited game veterans from the second, third and fourth game development teams. There are more than fifty people, and then injected into these three game development teams.
Fresh blood allows them to continue developing games steadily.
However, for a team of more than 50 experienced game developers, the first game did not bring the expected explosive sales, and they also felt that their responsibilities were not small.
For such a long time, Zhuyouxing has not been stingy with its employees, giving them adequate compensation and allowing them to live a comfortable and comfortable life. However, the sales of the games they produced did not meet expectations, and they themselves felt very ashamed.
So the leader of this development team personally came to Zhuyouxing's office to apologize for making a bad game.
"No, this is not your fault. You have done a good job. In fact, this has already been part of my plan."
The team leader was slightly startled: "Is it part of your plan, President?"
"Yes, this is just poor sales in a short period of time. Give this game some time, and time will prove the real shining point of this game. Next, you are going to continue to develop new Pokémon games, according to the rhythm I specified before.
, no changes, do you understand?"
Zhu Youxing's words may not really reassure the team leader, but at least they can ease his guilt.
Zhu Yuxing urged him to continue working. After the game production is completed, if there are no vicious bugs that need to be fixed, they should stop paying attention to the sales of the game and continue to develop new Pokémon games according to their own instructions.
Just fine.
After the team leader left, Zhu Youxing fell into thinking again.
Maybe Pokémon is really a little acclimated to this world.
But this is just the first week's sales, and it doesn't actually prove anything.
I think Dragon Quest was not very popular when it was first released.
In the end, it was the comic linkage that made Dragon Quest popular.
At first, Takeyusei wanted to replicate the success of Dragon Quest and rely on the Pokémon animation broadcast at the same time to increase its popularity.
However, it seems that the effect is not particularly good.
By the way, now you can ask TV Tokyo what the ratings of Pokémon are.
The ratings of TV stations can also be used as a reference to a certain extent.
Also, try to increase investment in publicity for a month, and then see the specific situation.
If it really doesn't work, it probably proves that Pokémon is a little acclimated to this world.
Perhaps it is because I have allowed video games to develop too fast, and it is not easy for players to settle down and play this kind of slower-paced development and companionship games. Maybe there are other reasons.
However, as long as the sales of this generation of games can exceed 400,000 and break even, Zhuyouxing will continue this series.
If the expected sales cannot be achieved, Zhuyouxing will insist on the development team producing three or four more generations. Even if it really fails, they will have to work harder to see if it is due to acclimatization or other reasons.
