Zhu Youxing proposed to provide results within one or two years.
This can be regarded as giving him some time to relax.
At the moment, his focus is still on Final Fantasy 7, and everything else will be put aside for the time being.
But he could first propose new development tasks to other restricted development teams, explain the framework of the real-time strategy game clearly, and then let them toss around for a while.
Time came to October 1999. After four months of sales of gs1, the sales volume had reached the tens of millions level.
It was the game console with the second highest sales figures that year.
The game with the highest sales volume is GBA, which has been sold for half a year more this year. The sales volume in the ten months of this year has reached 13 million units, which is very scary.
Now the sales of electronic games have really entered a white-hot stage, and the game industry is rising rapidly. It is no longer like the small business of hundreds of thousands and millions in the past.
During this period, there were several video games that sold tens of millions of dollars.
Not counting the bundled games, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and the retail version of Tetris have all successfully exceeded tens of millions in sales.
It is worth mentioning that the sales of the original FC game console exceeded 100 million after six years.
Originally, according to business rules, such old machines should have entered the elimination process. If it is more radical, production may be stopped directly when the new console is released.
But Zhu Youxing is still very sentimental about the first game console he created.
So even if we don't make much money now, as long as we don't lose money, we will keep the factory producing.
But now this machine is mostly sold to other countries with less economic capacity.
Even including tariffs, the average selling price is less than ten dollars.
For ten dollars, you can get a genuine game console with better after-sales service. Even if the price of the counterfeit game console is more advantageous, it is still not as good as the genuine one.
Coupled with the open source of game consoles, there are no strict restrictions on pirated games, which have become the biggest childhood playmates of children in many countries.
After all, Zhu Youxing started playing piracy when he was a child, so he is relatively tolerant in this regard. Of course, it is only limited to outdated old machines. If any of the new machines are really cracked open, he will directly call him
Join a group of lawyers who will sue you until you go bankrupt, no matter how much money they spend.
Even in terms of business practices, this is unwise because it will cost too much money and is completely uneconomical.
Perhaps it is also because of Zhu Youxing's tough behavior that many hackers who engage in small tricks do not dare to go too far.
When FC’s sales exceed 100 million, it’s natural to celebrate.
Breaking one million, breaking ten million, breaking one hundred million, these are all very memorable numbers, and they are also a good low-cost publicity opportunity, proving the strong strength of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
But at the moment, players’ attention is still more focused on gs1.
After several months of sales, the number of games on gs1 has exceeded 100.
Almost every month, games of various sizes are launched on this game console.
And every month there are at least two or three high-quality 3D graphics games on sale.
Some are from the first party and some are from third parties.
Players have experienced the charm of new era video games through gs1 and are now addicted to it.
The more they play the GS1 game console, the more they dislike the game consoles of other game companies.
Compared with gs1, other game consoles are really not that bad.
Let’s take a look at Surui Electronics’ game consoles.
Oh, by the way, some games with good graphics have recently been released on personal computers.
However, most people now still regard computers as work supplies, so there is no official statistical organization to measure the sales of PC games.
As the demo version of ff7 bundled with gs1, many players have played it no less than ten times.
After all, the total trial process only takes two or three hours.
The more they play, the more they become immersed in this beautiful world view.
I would die without playing Final Fantasy 7 .
This is a post that often appears in community forums recently, showing players' desire for Final Fantasy 7.
With such desire, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment finally announced the latest development progress of Final Fantasy 7 in a small face-to-face meeting.
The development has entered an advanced stage, and if there is enough time, it should be officially released around March to April at the beginning of the new millennium.
This year's best game doesn't compete with Mario 64.
It's never fun to beat one's own family to one's own family.
After getting a relatively accurate release time, players are naturally very happy.
They can finally live a new millennium with peace of mind.
The current game development process has also reached the end of Final Fantasy 7, and the rest is the production of animated CG.
There is really no way to compress the animation CG production cycle. It is a manual job and requires a huge amount of calculations to calculate CG animation. Spending too much money will not achieve high results, so we can only wait patiently.
As the last Christmas of the new millennium, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also conducted a special promotion, with all games reduced by 10% and game consoles reduced by 20%.
This immediately stimulated players' enthusiasm for consumption.
It is usually difficult to reduce the price of games from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, unless the game reaches the outdated standards set by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is about a two-year time limit.
Video games that have been released for more than two years will be classified as obsolete games and then participate in special price reduction activities. The purpose is to increase the player audience through price reduction, so as to attract players for new games in the future.
It is quite rare to be able to reduce the price of a game during its popular period. Players went on a short-term crazy consumption, which allowed Youxing Electronic Entertainment to have a good increase in sales before the year, which will provide good opportunities for future game development.
The road is paved.
"Thank you for your hard work this year. Because the new millennium is coming, I think I will take a holiday from now on. Please go back and have an unforgettable New Year. By next year, we will be the masters of the new millennium."
The day before Christmas, Zhu Youxing personally announced the official start of the holiday.
Zhuyouxing gave its employees a half-month long vacation collectively to thank them for their hard work over the years.
The employees naturally celebrated happily.
To be honest, although they didn't work much overtime during this period and they were working with enthusiasm, the feeling of having a long vacation is always different.
They thanked Zhu Youxing one after another, shouted long live Zhu Youxing, and then went back to their homes.
Nowadays, each of these employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment earns a lot of money. Even in the market environment of Japan's economic downturn, they are the most nourishing group of people.
