"President, based on the current feedback on the Internet, our estimated first-day sales figure can reach at least 100,000."
During the conference call, Minoru Matsuhashi truthfully reported his statistical information.
"Can the small retailers hold back?"
"You have to endure it if you can't help it. After all, they are still very afraid of the compensation in the contract."
"That's good. This is our strategy. We must not release it too early, otherwise the publicity effect will be much worse. What is the level of expectations of the people now?"
Matsuhashi Minoru replied: "In general, there are currently about 500,000 game players in the United States, and 10% of them are interested in SFC, and the rest are developed by us in various universities.
The new player group, and the estimated sales data I mentioned are actually relatively conservative. If it is more aggressive, I think it is possible for the first-day sales to exceed 300,000."
Zhu Youxing said: "Then we will distribute the goods according to the first-day sales of 500,000 yuan. Anyway, we have no shortage of supply. And remember to promise those American retailers that if we can't sell it, we will take back the original price and let them buy it."
I no longer have any worries.”
Zhu Youxing is really afraid that these small department stores will lose their chain at critical moments, so he has to give them a little bit of assurance so that they can sell their products with confidence.
As long as the market is opened, everything else will be easy to deal with.
"OK."
At this time, Zhu Youxing suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "Oh, by the way, are you ready for the taunting email?"
When Minoru Matsuhashi heard the word sarcastic email, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course we are ready. In fact, we started sending emails containing the results of our group surveys to the senior executives of large department stores yesterday, sarcastic
They were so blind that they ignored hundreds of thousands of customers."
"Very good, keep up the good work. You don't need to report daily sales to me, but don't forget to send one to those department store retailers every day."
"Don't worry, president, I will definitely do it beautifully!"
Matsuhashi Minoru showed a slightly sly smile.
This move can be said to be quite disgusting.
Let those of you who look down on us take a look at our sales and make you regret it.
Of course, the more important reason is to torture them mentally, and finally force them to make peace on their own initiative and be willing to accept the game sales rights of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Moreover, if the other party takes the initiative to come to your door, there must be some additional conditions.
, otherwise there will be no active effect.
The conference call ended, and Zhu Yuxing returned to supervising the production of Castlevania.
The game is now about half complete.
The first generation of Castlevania in the previous life was released on FC.
This time, Bamboo Games skipped the FC and chose to release it on the SFC. Regardless of the visual effects, game sound effects and game content, it will definitely be more substantial, so there are still a lot of things to do.
This time, Zhuyusei plans to release the first part of Castlevania first, and then wait for a while to release the story content of the second part of the previous Castlevania as an expanded content of the first part. This is equivalent to the game.
dlc, but this is a real game capacity. It just reuses the original game materials, which can greatly reduce the cost of making the game. Of course, the price can be relatively lower.
The Witcher 3, which was conscientious enough in its previous life, took this path and won a good reputation, but then they themselves were ruined by another game.
In terms of sound effects, Zhu Yuxing has asked a full-time composer to be the main person in charge of composing the music this time. Under Zhu Yuxing's guidance, this person will try his best to make the sound effects as close as possible to the classic sound effects of Castlevania in the previous life.
, to ensure perfection.
In film and television dramas, excellent theme songs will in turn help promote the film and television drama.
Video game music actually has the same effect.
For example, there are the timeless Mario opening sound effects, the classic Dragon Quest Proof of Courage, and Final Fantasy's Crystal Overture. In this regard, Juyousei was not stingy and gave ample time and money.
While supervising the development of Castlevania, Zhu Yuxing is also always paying attention to the trends in the United States.
Street Fighter has not yet been released, but it seems to have become a popular product that has been sold for a long time.
Recently, adults and children often come to the toy section of some department stores to ask if Street Fighter is on sale.
Or ask if there are SFC and several other games.
However, the answers given by most mainstream department stores are very consistent.
Sorry, we have not heard of this product, but if you are interested in electronic games, you can buy the pn game console we are selling, or other Lierda 2600 game consoles, etc.
There are also very fun games in these game consoles.
Some people who were still confused about video games were naturally deceived and spent money to buy these game consoles.
But since they had never experienced it before, they had a great time.
In addition to some large department stores, some people who asked about small department stores got another answer.
On February 1st, the Street Fighter, Street Basketball, and SFC game consoles that you are looking forward to will be officially released. Now we have begun to accept pre-orders. If you pre-order, you can also get some small gifts, a game console is 199 dollars, and a game is 69.9.
Games, you can’t buy them and suffer losses, you can’t buy them and you can’t be fooled.
Just this pre-sale system has already made these small department stores who have not yet shipped the goods very happy.
At least this proves that this thing is really interesting, and when it is actually released, there should be no worries about sales.
In addition, Zhuyouxing promised to provide sufficient supply, and they also opened the reservation window as much as possible, and then waited for official shipment.
And the time soon came to February 1st.
On that day, it was not nearly as empty as in Japan.
After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has just developed in the United States. No matter how vigorously it promotes, it still cannot create much social repercussions when competitors deliberately suppress it.
However, there were still many people queuing up that day waiting to buy.
Players who have made a reservation in advance can directly receive the game console and games with the reservation code and identification.
On the other side, there are some customers queuing up, most of them are college students from nearby universities.
They are usually the kind of people who have some spare money and like to follow fashion.
In the crowd, there was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a suit and looked a little out of place with the young people in the crowd.
His name is Wilson. He once had the honor to go to Japan on a business trip. After experiencing something as interesting as the Famicom, he became a loyal fan of the game console. At the same time, he did not forget to buy it for his daughter.
The gifts were a brand new FC game console and a Tamagotchi. His daughter cried very sadly that day, and his wife almost beat him to death, but he was very happy inside.
