Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 100 Accidents

   For many players, Dragon Quest is now a favorite.

   In the queue, some people even played COSPLAY

   wears a red cloak, a horn helmet, and holds a plastic sword and shield.

   And the children are now in the team with their eyes shining, staring at the large poster of Dragon Quest, imagining what kind of story is in Dragon Quest.

  When the door of the authorized store officially opened, the crowd began to riot. The scene was very spectacular. Almost all the people queuing at the door of the authorized store were about to occupy their respective blocks.

Other shops in the   tong block will stare out of their eyes.

   That sincere envy and hatred cannot be concealed.

  Look at the popularity of game consoles sold in other stores, but these stores selling other products are deserted. The contrast is too obvious.

   These stores have already begun to consider whether to transform into stores that sell video games.

The enthusiasm of players in the    series of games has increased significantly.

   This is also not the same as Super Mario 3.

   The plot of Super Mario 3 itself is not coherent, it is a fairly traditional thing about saving the princess, and it is also a different trick for saving the princess.

  Super Mario 3 is more about gameplay winning.

   However, in Dragon Quest, the story and gameplay are on an equal footing.

   Countless players want to see a new adventure story, which is a very powerful attraction.

   In addition, the sales of red and white machines have exceeded one million, and will soon reach two million, and the crowd base is much larger than before.

   Inside the store, in addition to the normal queuing sales area, there are several game play areas.

   As long as you insert coins, you can play the game in advance.

   Now these places are also occupied by a strong force, and there is only one game in front of the game consoles in almost every play area, and that is Dragon Quest 3.

   These people who play are not out of money, they can't wait to have a good time before buying, and then it's not too late for them to buy when the queue is almost there.

  The whole store was crowded with people for a while, almost to the point of shoulder-to-shoulder, which was comparable to the Spring Festival travel scene in China.

   "I want ten boxes of Dragon Quest 3!"

   "Sorry for the guests, now we implement a limited purchase policy, each person can only buy two boxes for the time being, these are your two boxes of Dragon Quest, thank you for your patronage."

   "Please give me a console and a box of Dragon Quest 1 and 3."

   "Ok, thank you for your patronage."

  …

   Now these shop assistants are crazy busy.

   But they also seem to be getting used to this kind of work.

   There are always some very busy days every month, which may be busy from 8:00 in the morning to more than 10:00 in the evening.

   But these days are also often their highest paid, so they are happy too.

   And their work is not uninterrupted, there will be someone in the middle to replace the shift, otherwise even the iron man will definitely not be able to last so long.

  During the booming sales, Dragon Quest once again broke the sales record of red and white console games.

  The sales data on the first day is 130,000, and the sales data for each subsequent day are more than 20,000.

  Last Dragon Quest 3's first-week sales reached a staggering 280,000, almost stabbing the 300,000 mark in the ass.

  You know, the price of this Dragon Quest 3 is 7,000 yen.

   The same price as a red and white machine, more than 180,000 yuan on the first Tuesday, and sales of 2 billion yen!

   This is simply a money grab!

   And it’s a money grab without any sense at all.

  This is a first-party game. After removing 30% of the sales cost, the cost of the cassette is almost negligible. This week, Dragon Quest alone has at least 1.3 billion in pure profit.

   And this time Zhu Yuxing did not hide this data.

The data of    itself is too frightening to hide.

   In a week, a small company that has been established for less than a year has a sales profit of 1.3 billion.

   If it is a large company with sufficient publicity channels, the data will be even more terrifying.

   This time, even Suri Electronics was shocked, and held a meeting overnight to discuss whether to increase the capital investment of the video game division.

   This kind of sales data is not something that Surui Electronics can easily ignore.

   Even this one-week sales data is only for a specific time, but this week alone is already a **** profit.

   However, at this time, most people in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment were not happy.

   Because during the release of Dragon Quest 3, another thing happened.

  In the evening news time of Fuji TV, a talk show was temporarily inserted.

  The title of the program is: Why does a video game lead to vicious incidents of multiple group fights, is video game a sin star?

The    program begins with a video recording.

  This video is very shaking, it seems to be shot with a handheld camera, and there will be a loud scolding sound from time to time in the video.

   "Bastard! This is my game!"

   "Nonsense! Obviously I bought it first! I queued for a day and a night!"

   "Give me death!"

  In the video footage, several people were scrambling with their teeth and claws, and a few boxes of Dragon Quest 3 cassettes were scattered not far away.

   Around these scuffled people, there was a group of people with a trace of unease and panic.

   Immediately afterwards, the video camera slowly moved to the scattered Dragon Quest 3 cassette case, the picture gradually enlarged, the cassette case was crumpled at this time, and it was still stained with a little blood.

   At the same time, the sound of cursing on the screen has not ended.

   The final picture was fixed on the blood-stained cassette, and then there was a Fuji TV's signature opening sound effect.

   A few academic-looking people were seated on the sofa in the studio, while the good-looking host sat on the side.

   When the camera zoomed in, the host smiled.

   "The viewers in front of the TV, I'm sorry for the temporary interruption of a new program. It's just that the incident happened suddenly. In a socially responsible attitude, our TV station feels that we need to stand up and speak out."

   "Presumably you should have seen a video before the show started. This is a contribution from an anonymous person who showed us a picture of a product on the day it was launched."

"Among them, people fought fiercely in order to dispute the ownership of a product. In the end, several people were arrested and several people were seriously injured. Moreover, this was not just a scene that happened in one place, but a scene that happened in several places. ."

"The audience should also be very curious now, what kind of thing will lead to such vicious fights, then I will reveal the secret to the audience, this product is a kind of thing called video game, and it is also the most recent Pretty hot stuff, and that's what caused the fight in the picture."
