Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 451 Please don't get me wrong

   "Well, another hill in GSL was sold. This thing is really popular."

  The investigator from Suri Electronics stood by the shelf to observe, and took out a pen to record the general data.

  The sales of GSL handhelds have been very good in the past few days. The products are piled up like a mountain, and then they will be quickly digested in the day, and then piled up into a mountain.

In this cycle, an average of one hill will be digested every hour, and an average hill contains about 200 boxes of game consoles. This investigator only needs to record the average consumption rate of these hills, and the work can be considered easy. Occasionally he You can even take time to play in the demo area.

   "Sorry sir, our GS1 game console is temporarily out of stock, but a new batch will arrive tomorrow, so please be patient."

  Not far away, a clerk was explaining apologetically to a customer.

   The investigator turned his head subconsciously and found that it was a young female customer.

   This is really rare.

   No, it's not uncommon, at least he has seen more and more female customers these days.

   In addition to female customers, there are many elderly and middle-aged people.

   These should not have been included in the game console player group in the game market.

   But these people also seem to be interested in game consoles.

   I shouldn’t buy it for myself, maybe it’s a gift for a child or a relative.

   The investigator thought subconsciously.

Um? Wait, the home console GS1 is sold out in this store?

   Isn't this a game console that has been on sale for a year or two? Why is it still out of stock?

   As a member of the marketing department, he will have a rough estimate of the sales of some products.

   Generally speaking, if the production capacity is not limited, a product must be in sufficient supply one year after its release.

  Unless there are some unexpected situations, such as some advertisements have good results in certain areas, so that people in this area start to want to buy products that have been on sale for a year or two.

   or some special cases.

   It happened before that after a celebrity's private life photos were exposed, it was found that the celebrity was clearly advertising a skin care product, but secretly he had been advertising competitors' products, which in turn caused the sales of competitors' products to skyrocket.

  So, do you want to record this abnormal situation?

  The investigator thought about it and decided to record it.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment's home game console GS1 has abnormal sales, and the official direct-operated store has been out of stock, but the specific sales data needs to be investigated in conjunction with other channels.

   After making this record, his day's work today is almost finished.

   Next, it's time to experience the games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment!

   He couldn't wait to immediately go to one of the demo areas to start the experience. At the same time, in order to avoid making himself look too different and suspicious, he decided to buy a GSL handheld that was selling well first.

   Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to avoid being suspicious, not because I wanted to play a competitor's game.

  Well, with a handheld, you must buy two boxes of game cartridges, right?

   After playing the game for a while, the investigator finally decided to buy the most popular games.

  The clerk served the investigator very enthusiastically, and did not seem to know the true identity of the investigator.

   In other words, it doesn’t matter even if you know, Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn’t care about others investigating these things.

   The investigator who bought the game he wanted came home from get off work in a good mood.

   This kind of work is really more fun than working in an office.

  …

   One day, the latest issue of Time Magazine featured such a big headline.

   Player Age.

   The cover below the title is a scene of a dozen people of different ages, genders, and professional images playing the game.

   Some of them looked like soldiers, some looked like scientists.

   Video games seem to be expanding in all aspects from a once niche industry.

  No matter what your occupation is, no matter what your hobbies are, video games can always bring you a good mood.

   This is the first time Time Magazine has published a video game, which represents a milestone.

   The video game cultural circle before    has a very small radiation range, and only a small number of people will be interested in it.

   But now video games have their own large group of supporters from all walks of life, so that anyone in any industry will take a serious look at this brand new industry when they see it.

   Whether they want to suppress them because they touch their interests, or whether they want to actively cooperate, depends on whether leaders in other industries have vision.

   However, although the cover is a combined photo of players from the entire industry, the content in Time Magazine is a separate interview with Take Yusei.

   This seems to be the official recognition that Zhu Yuxing is the leader and representative of this industry.

In the article, Zhu Youxing has always emphasized serving players well, because he is also a player, and serving players well is also serving himself well, and he always keeps his attitude low. The editor of Time Weekly appreciates this very much and published a post. own opinion.

   And this article will naturally also have influence, but this influence will not spread to ordinary users, but will allow those investment giants such as Wall Street to see more business opportunities.

   After reading this article, they all began to consider whether to increase their investment in video games.

   It’s just that they have recently invested a lot of money into the Internet, and it’s not enough to get some money to invest in games.

   After careful consideration for a long time, they decided to get some money and invest a little bit first.

   But obviously they care more about the Internet industry, because they feel that video games are only for people who like to play games.

   But the Internet is something that almost everyone must contact and understand in the future, so the magnitude of users on both sides is definitely not the same level.

   In the company headquarters of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, after two days of freshness, Zhu Yuxing felt that he had an independent floor and seemed a little lonely.

   So he hardly stayed in his office much, and instead concentrated on the game development department and continued to watch the development of the game.

  The GSL handheld is on sale, and the completion of the first mission of all the first games does not mean the end of the work.

   Next, each game development team was assigned new jobs one after another.

Zhu Yuxing has a lot of game production plans next. Street Fighter should consider updating it and become the third Street Fighter. Then Zhu Yuxing also thought that he probably didn’t have the energy to open a new pit of the King of Fighters, so he simply put The King of Fighters characters have also been moved to Street Fighter.

   It happens that the number of characters in Street Fighter is not too many, and the number of characters in the two games combined is probably beyond imagination.

   It’s just that the department in the company that specializes in game numerical research may have their eyes darkened.

   The release of character action values ​​of this order of magnitude might not directly overload their brains.
