Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

  Chapter 99 Queue all night

  As Hayakawa Shito's former subordinate, Aiden agreed without any hesitation to help expand the overseas business of PN game consoles.

   As for whether it can really have good sales overseas, this is a question.

  In addition to Surui Electronics doing this little trick, two other manufacturers who are ready to grab the popularity of video games have also officially released their own game consoles.

   The first is Vaders, who put their arcade machines in major entertainment venues, harvesting the pockets of those scattered players who did not buy game consoles.

   And their games are almost all platform jumping games with increased difficulty.

  The platform jumping game was originally relatively difficult to make, and if you change the skin, you can play it as a new game for players.

   However, there is also a bright spot among them, that is, a racing game. The racing game made from the main perspective looks much better and is very attractive.

Judging from this game, they are indeed playing the game with a little snack, and the feedback from the players is also very intuitive. This type of racing arcade is very popular in the streets. Increase investment in racing arcade games.

   Then, it was Kim Ping Entertainment, which released its own exclusive disc game console.

  The game console comes with three video games, which are some animated IP games linked with their own copyrights.

It is indeed attractive to be able to experience the game of your favorite animated characters. Coupled with the vigorous promotion of idols, more than 40,000 game consoles were sold in the first week. Sales nearly doubled in the first week.

   Zhu Yuxing also specially let people buy this future star game console.

   Don't worry about the Aries arcade machine, because it's all obvious things, only this CD game machine is a little bit of Zhu Yuxing's attention.

   Because he knows that the best physical game carrier in the future is really a CD.

   The cheap nature of the disc itself can greatly reduce the cost of the game console, and the capacity of the disc itself is extremely high.

  In this day and age, a blank disc that costs only ten yen can have a capacity of 400-500MB

  Discs are truly the future of video games.

   From this point of view, Zhuyouxing obviously pays more attention to this future star game console launched by Jinping Entertainment.

   If it is not good, this guy can develop into the future Sony.

   But when he got the game console, he knew he was thinking too much.

  This thing... It's basically a CD player, and it's just incidental when it comes to game performance.

  The engineering development department dismantled it and found that the video game motherboard module was added later. This can indeed have the performance of 16-bit game consoles, but it should be the castrated type, and its strengths are limited compared to 8-bit.

   Later, someone from the Engineering Development Department told Zhu Yuxing that it was estimated that the CD player that Jinping Entertainment had stockpiled could not be sold, so he planned to clear the inventory under a different name.

   This made Zhu Yuxing speechless for a while.

  This future star is really hard to gain popularity, and completely treats players as fools.

  No, that's not right, this Jinping Entertainment is not aimed at those video game players, but a group of groupies.

   Zhu Youxing suddenly felt a little pitiful. These guys spent money to chase stars, and they even bought such a scammer.

As for the game in this future star, it can be seen that there is a little ambition. It seems that it is really a video game developed by people who want to make games, but there are serious traces of rush work, the game is very rough, and the original PN game console was released. When there is a ratio.

   In the face of this kind of opponent, Zhu Yuxing directly chose PASS, it seems that he still thinks too much.

   The one who can really be called an opponent should be Suri Electronics now, and no one else can fight.

  Weders intends to specialize in the arcade field, which does not conflict with himself, but rather complements him. He welcomes this kind of company, and they can effectively expand the game player group with cheaper means.

   Their own Dragon Quest 3 is estimated to be able to beat their mothers who don't even know it, and it would be good to show them the real horror of the series' sales.

   And the time soon came to the first three days of Dragon Quest 3's release.

  Now all major stores have posted large posters of all Dragon Quest at the door.

   At their door, someone had already set up a tent.

   And the tents have already begun to stretch for dozens of meters, which is quite spectacular.

   This is actually quite good news material, but several TV stations dare not interview it.

   Only TV TOKYO casually interviewed those people who pitched tents on the roadside as if they were nothing, and TV TOKYO earned all the popularity.

   At the same time, a forum on the Internet has also become the object of public attention.

   A website specializing in video game reviews even got the Dragon Quest 3 game ahead of schedule.

This has never happened in the past. For a time, this forum was quickly crowded, and the number of daily real-time visitors soared from 1,000 to more than 7,000, causing the forum to be paralyzed. Finally, as the founder of the forum, Murakami still looked for A problem that was solved only by the help of my father.

   As a child, he still has many shortcomings.

   However, this did indeed bring him traffic, and his fame on the Internet began to grow.

  Especially the article he posted about the advance review of Dragon Quest 3 was quickly reprinted.

   I don’t know how many times I have said the praises of Dragon Quest 3, which means it is almost the same as: this game is a masterpiece of the world, if you don’t play it, you will regret it for life.

   But he was very smart and didn't reveal any plot story, just sighed the charm of the story itself.

   Even if you just experience the story, this game is totally worth the price.

   With this evaluation as a basis, some players are even more excited.

   Even players who have never played Dragon Quest are starting to think about giving it a try.

   Once again, the sales volume of Dragon Quest’s first installment has risen slightly, reaching 700,000 sales.

   At this moment, there is only one day left before the official release.

   On the night of the last day, more than 200 people lined up at the gates of several authorized stores.

   There were more than 200 people queuing in the middle of the night, which is unimaginable.

  Especially the first authorized store, the former Daejeon Entertainment Hall, the queue was 500 away.

   Even if it is early spring and the weather is still a bit cold, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the players.

  Suri Electronics has once again recognized the popularity of video games.

   Hayakawa Zhiren is also more eager to let PN game consoles go overseas, earn a wave of hot money first, and then learn to polish several games that can be regarded as high-quality products like Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
