Chapter 339： Over 100 million sales

Chapter 339 Sales of over 100 million

Take Yusei proposed to give results in one or two years.

This can be regarded as giving him some time to relax.

At the moment, his focus is on Final Fantasy 7, and everything else has to be put aside for the time being.

But he can first propose new development tasks to other restricted development teams, clarify the framework of the real-time strategy game, and then let them toss for a while.

The time came to October 1999. After four months of sales of GS1, the sales volume has reached the level of tens of millions.

This is the second-highest sales console of the year.

The top game is GBA, which sold for half a year more this year. The sales in ten months this year reached 13 million units, which is very scary.

Now the sales of video games have really entered the white-hot stage, and the game industry is rapidly rising, and it is no longer like the kind of petty slapstick that used to be hundreds of thousands of millions.

There are also several video games that have sold millions of dollars during this time.

Not counting the bundled games, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and the retail version of Tetris have all successfully surpassed tens of millions of sales.

It is worth mentioning that the sales data of the original FC game console exceeded 100 million after six years.

Originally, according to business rules, such an old machine should have entered the elimination process, and if it is more aggressive, the new host may be directly discontinued.

But Zhu Yuxing still has feelings for the first game console he created.

So even if we don’t make much money now, as long as we don’t lose money, we keep the factory producing continuously.

But now this machine is more sold to other countries with less economic ability.

Even including tariffs, the average selling price does not exceed ten dollars.

For ten dollars, you can get a genuine game console and better after-sales service. Even if the price of the fake game console is more advantageous, it is still inferior to the genuine one.

In addition to the open source of game consoles, pirated games are not strictly restricted, which has become the biggest childhood playmate of children in many countries.

After all, Zhu Youxing started playing with pirated copies when he was a child, so he is relatively tolerant in this regard. Of course, it is limited to outdated old machines. If any new machine is really cracked, he will directly call Go to the lawyers' group, no matter how much you spend, you will be sued until bankruptcy.

Even in business practice, this is also unwise, because it will cost too much money, and it is not worth it at all.

Maybe it's also because of Zhu Yuxing's stubborn behavior, many hackers who do small tricks are afraid to go too far.

When   FC's sales exceeded 100 million, it was inevitable to celebrate.

Breaking one million, breaking 10 million, breaking 100 million, these are very commemorative figures, and it is also a good low-cost publicity opportunity, proving the strong strength of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

But the current players' attention is still more focused on the GS1.

After several months of sales, there are more than 100 games on the GS1.

Almost every month, games of different sizes are logged on this game console.

And every month at least two or three games with high quality 3D graphics are released.

There are from the first party, and there are also from the third party.

Players have experienced the charm of video games in the new era through GS1, and now they are addicted to it.

The more they play GS1 consoles, the more they hate consoles from other game companies.

Compared with GS1, other game consoles are really not a little bit worse.

You can also take a look at the game console of Suri Electronics.

Oh yes, some games with good graphics have been released recently on PCs.

However, most people still use computers as work supplies, so there is no official statistical agency to count the sales of PC games.

As the FF7 demo version bundled with GS1, many players have played it no less than ten times.

After all, the total process of this trial is only two or three hours.

The more they play, the more they indulge in this beautiful worldview.

I would die without playing Final Fantasy 7.

This is a frequent thread in community forums recently, showing players' desire for Final Fantasy 7.

Under such desire, Yuxing Entertainment finally announced the latest development progress of Final Fantasy 7 in a small face-to-face meeting.

The development has entered an advanced stage, and if there is time, it should be officially released around March to April at the beginning of the new millennium.

This year's best game doesn't compete with Mario 64.

It’s always boring to hit your own family.

Get a relatively accurate release time, players are naturally very happy.

They can finally live a new millennium with peace of mind.

The current game development process has also reached the end of Final Fantasy 7, and the rest is the production of animated CG.

The production cycle of animation CG really can’t be compressed. This is completely manual work. It requires a huge amount of calculation to calculate the CG animation. If you spend too much money, it will not have a high effect, so you can only wait patiently.

As the last Christmas of the new millennium, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has also carried out a special promotion. All games have been reduced by 10% across the board, and game consoles have been reduced by 20%.

This immediately stimulated players' enthusiasm for spending.

It is difficult to reduce the price of games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, unless the game meets the outdated standard set by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is about two years.

Video games that have been released for more than two years will be listed as outdated games, and then participate in special price reduction activities, the intention is to increase the audience of players through price reduction, so as to attract new games in the future.

It is quite rare to be able to reduce the price of a game during the hot period. Players have carried out a short-term frenzy, which made the turnover of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment soared a year ago, which will be used for the next game development. Paved the way.

"Thank you for your hard work this year, because the new millennium is coming, so I think we will take a vacation from now on. Please go back and have an unforgettable New Year. By next year, we will be the masters of the new millennium."

The day before Christmas, Take Yusei personally announced the official start of the holiday.

Bamboo Youxing gave the employees a two-week long vacation to thank them for their hard work over the years.

The employees are naturally excited to celebrate.

To be honest, although there was not much overtime during this period, and they were working with enthusiasm, it was always different to have a long vacation.

They thanked Zhu Yuxing, shouted long live Zhu Yuxing, and then went back to their respective homes.

Today, each of these Yuxing Electronic Entertainment employees earns a lot of money, and even in the market environment of Japan's economic downturn, they are the most nourishing group of people.

Their New Year is naturally the happiest.

And all of this is thanks to Take Yusei.
