Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

  Chapter 229 Calm on the surface

   Here, first of all, we need to mention the sales performance of FC game consoles.

   When Zhu Youxing went to the United States in January, the sales volume was about to exceed 10 million.

   Later, it officially entered the sales volume of 10 million in March.

   It took almost exactly two years to create a game console product with sales of tens of millions in Japan, which has proved the success of Zhuyuxing.

   He is also bound to become a figure that cannot be skipped in the history of video games in this world.

On the day of the 10 million yuan, Zhuyouxing deliberately arranged it with great fanfare, and spent a lot of money to invite the hottest singers to compose the theme song to celebrate the sales of 10 million yuan. ready for creation.

   In addition to the theme song, there is a company-wide celebration in a large theater, and more than 100 lucky players are also invited to celebrate this rare event.

   TV TOKYO has specially set aside time for live broadcasts for this purpose, which has greatly increased the viewership rate by a small amount.

The data of   10 million sales has also spread to the ears of several other companies. While they praised the smooth development of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they also stepped up their efforts to enter the video game market.

   The stock market valuation of any company associated with video games will skyrocket for a while, which seems to be a money carnival game.

   But this is also a good thing. With capital invested in this industry, it means that the industry will continue to develop in a diversified way. Just Zhuyouxing alone cannot support the entire industry.

   After the celebration is finished, and back to the present time, before you know it, July has come, which is also the beginning of the midsummer season.

The children's holiday has boosted the sales of video games again. Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has been quietly gathering strength. Of course, during this period, various games have been released, such as the fifth Final Fantasy and the fourth. Dragon Quest.

   Among them, Final Fantasy 5 has developed the system of career transfer to the current extreme. There are as many as 24 kinds of careers, and then there are rich game plots as the basis.

   Even the SFC cassettes can't handle so much complex content.

The fifth final fantasy is also a rare final fantasy with only a good ending in Zhu Yuxing's memory. There are a total of 15 endings. According to the number of surviving warriors of time in the final ending, the death of the four warriors of light will also lead to different deaths. There are different endings, but in the end, it is generally the ending of saving the world and returning the world to peace. Even if the four warriors of light die, they will return to the world in different ways. Overall, they are very satisfactory.

   The plots of the first, third, and fourth Final Fantasy games tortured players to the death. At first glance, the fifth game had a good ending, but it also led to a surge in sales of this generation of games.

The sales of the first three games, 1, 3, and 4, are generally maintained at around 1 million to 2 million in Japan. They can be regarded as best-selling games, but they are still a lot worse than Dragon Quest, and in Final Fantasy 5, The sales in the first week exceeded 700,000, and the sales in the second week also reached 500,000, which is quite scary. Obviously, the players are really yearning for a happy ending.

   Of course, in addition to the sales in Japan, in the United States, the sales of Final Fantasy 5 also reached more than 700,000 because SFC exceeded 2 million sales in a few months.

  The United States and Japan add up to nearly 2 million, and the basic plan of Final Fantasy is almost stable.

  Those small department stores in the United States are also happy, and they make a lot of money with Zhuyouxing.

  Before Zhu Yuxing appeared, they probably would never have imagined that an entertainment item could be sold so quickly and so hot in their entire lives.

As for Dragon Quest 4, as the first part of the sky trilogy, coupled with the experienced first development team, they have also made a lot of groundbreaking content, added more classes, and added more built-in games. The mini-game also includes character development and other content, and the sales in the first week are much more terrifying than Final Fantasy.

   And because Dragon Quest 4 is logged on two game consoles, FC and SFC at the same time, FC is only a little worse in picture quality, but the content is almost not reduced.

  Based on FC with sales of tens of millions of game consoles, the sales reached a terrifying million level in the first week, and there are many die-hard fans. Final Fantasy will definitely not be able to surpass the status of Dragon Quest in a short period of time.

   In addition to these two housekeeping works, there is also an adventure game that focuses on the United States, called Raiders of the Lost Ark.

   In the past life, the name was a famous series of movies.

But in this world, there is no more, so Zhu Youxing simply took the name and developed a horizontal version of the ruins exploration game. This is a game developed entirely by the studio in the United States. Add some game development experience there, as for the game's sales, I don't have much hope.

   However, the Americans seem to be quite interested in games in the form of relic exploration, and the sales have reached 300,000, which is quite good. This also makes the game development team established in the United States very excited.

   Apart from these, there doesn't seem to be any movement on the side of Star Electronics Entertainment in game hardware.

   Judging from the development rate of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the past, it has been very quiet recently.

   But this is just the dynamic on the surface.

Since    Take Yuxing has expanded to four engineering development teams, and each team has also increased to fifty people, how can they be left idle?

   Except for the top executives of the game companies who are closest to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, few outsiders know the specific trends of the four engineering teams.

   At this moment, the four engineering development teams are working together to tackle two issues, namely GBA, an upgraded version of the GB game console, and a new game console series: the GS series.

  GBA Needless to say, this was also one of the most classic handhelds in the previous life.

With 32-bit performance, it is not impossible to forcibly make 3D games on it, but because it is planned to achieve 32-bit performance on the handheld, the battery life of the game console itself must continue for a long time. The process is quite long. Up to now, I have only researched seven, seven, eight, eight, and there is still a lot of testing and finishing work. There is almost no possibility of releasing it before Christmas, so I will simply wait until next year's International Consumer Electronics Show. Published.

   And the GS series, this is the mainframe that Take Yusei intends to emulate the PS series of the previous life.

   focuses on high performance, and at the same time makes the carrier of video games cheaper, replacing the form of cassettes with discs, which greatly reduces the cost of physical games.
