Chapter 214 The Day to Meet American Players
"President, according to the current feedback on the Internet, our estimated first-day sales data can reach at least 100,000."
During the conference call, Matsuhashi reported his statistics truthfully.
"Can those small retailers hold back?"
"I can't help but bear it. After all, they are still very afraid of the compensation in the contract."
"That's good, this is our strategy, we must not release it too early, otherwise the publicity effect will be much worse, what is the expectation of the crowd now?"
Matsuhashi replied: "In general, there are about 500,000 gamers in the United States, and 10% of them are interested in SFC, and the rest are developed by ourselves in various universities. The new player group, and the estimated sales data I mentioned is actually relatively conservative, if it is more aggressive, I think it is possible for the sales to exceed 300,000 on the first day."
Zhu Youxing said: "Then we will distribute the goods according to the first-day sales of 500,000 yuan. Anyway, we have no shortage of supply, and remember to promise those retailers in the United States that if they can't be sold, we will recycle them at the original price and let them Start without worries.”
Zhuyouxing is really afraid that these small department stores will lose their chains at a critical moment, so I have to give them a little bit of bottom line so that they can sell their products with confidence.
As long as the market is opened, then everything that follows will be easy to say.
"OK."
At this moment, Zhu Yuxing suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "Oh, by the way, are you ready for the mock email?"
When Matsuhashi heard the word "sarcastic email", he first paused, then smiled and said, "Of course we are ready, in fact, yesterday we started sending emails of the survey results of our group to the executives of large department stores, mocking them. They have no eye for eyeballs, and they ignore hundreds of thousands of customers."
"Very good, keep it up, you don't have to report daily sales to me, but don't forget to send a copy to those department store retailers every day."
"Don't worry, the president, I will definitely do it beautifully!"
Matsuhashi also showed a sly smile.
This trick can be said to be quite disgusting.
Let you guys who look down on us see our sales and make you regret it.
Of course, the main reason is to torture them mentally, and finally force them to take the initiative to make peace, willing to accept the game sales rights of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and since the other party takes the initiative to come to the door, there must be some additional conditions. , otherwise there will be no active effect.
The conference call is over, and Takeyusei is back to oversee the production of Castlevania.
Now the game is about half finished.
The first generation of Castlevania in the previous life was released in FC.
And this time, Zhu Yuxing skipped FC and chose to sell it on SFC. No matter the picture effects, game sound effects or game content, it will definitely be more enriched, so there are still a lot of things to do.
This time, Zhu Yuxing plans to release the first part of Castlevania first, and then after a while, he will release the story content of the second part of the previous life as the expansion content of the first part, which is equivalent to the game. DLC is available, but this is a real game capacity, but the material of the original game can be reused, which can greatly reduce the cost of making the game, of course, the price can be relatively reduced.
The Witcher 3, who had enough conscience in the previous life, took this road and won a good reputation, but later they were smashed by another game.
In terms of sound effects, this time, Zhu Yuxing asked a full-time composer to be the person in charge of the main composition. Under the guidance of Zhu Yuxing, this person will try to make the sound effects as close as possible to the classic sound effects of Castlevania in the previous life. , to ensure perfection.
In film and television dramas, an excellent theme song will in turn help the promotion of film and television dramas.
Video game music actually has the same effect.
Like the enduring Mario opening sound effects, as well as the classic Dragon Quest's Proof of Courage, and the Crystal Overture of Final Fantasy, Take Yusei is not stingy in this regard, giving plenty of time and money.
While supervising the development of Castlevania, on the other hand, Take Yusei is also constantly paying attention to the trends in the United States.
Street Fighter has not been released yet, but it seems to have become a popular product that has been on sale for a long time.
In the toy section of some department stores recently, adults and children have often come over to ask if there are street fighters for sale.
Or ask if there are SFC and several other games.
However, the answers given by most mainstream department stores are very consistent.
Sorry, we haven't heard of this product, but if you are interested in video games, you can buy the PN game console we are selling, or other Lilda 2600 game consoles, etc.
There are also very fun games in these consoles.
Some people who are still a little confused about video games are naturally fooled and spend money to buy these game consoles.
But because they had not experienced it before, they had a lot of fun playing it.
In addition to some large department stores, some people who asked about small department stores got another answer.
On February 1st, the Street Fighter, Street Basketball, and SFC game consoles you are looking forward to will be officially released. Now we have started accepting pre-orders. If you pre-order, you can also get some small gifts, 199 dollars a game console, 69.9 a piece Games, you can't buy a game, you can't be fooled.
Just this pre-sale system has already made these small department stores who have not shipped yet very happy.
At least this proves that this thing is really interesting, and when it is actually released, it should not worry about sales.
In addition, Zhuyouxing promised to provide sufficient supply, and they also opened the reservation window to their heart's content, and then waited for the official delivery.
And the time soon came to the first day of February.
On that day, it did not appear to be close to the crowded place in Japan.
After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has just developed in the United States. No matter how much publicity it is, it will still not be able to form much social repercussions when competitors deliberately suppress it.
However, there were still a lot of people queuing up to buy.
Pre-booked players can directly pick up game consoles and games with the reserved code and identification.
On the other side, there are some queuing customers, most of them are college students from nearby universities.
They are usually the kind of people who have some spare cash in their hands and like to follow the trend very much.
In the crowd, there was a man in his thirties, he was wearing a suit, which seemed a little out of place with the young people in the crowd.
His name is Wilson. He was fortunate enough to go to Japan on a business trip. After experiencing such interesting things as a red and white machine, he became out of control and became a loyal fan of the game console. At the same time, he did not forget to buy it for his daughter. The gifts were a brand new FC game console and a Tuomagezi. His daughter cried very sad that day. His wife almost beat him to death, but he was very happy inside.
