Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

For many players, Dragon Quest is the favorite now.

Among the crowd in line, some people even played COSPLAY

Wears a red cloak, a horned helmet, and holds a plastic sword and shield.

And now the children in the team are also staring at the large poster of Dragon Quest, imagining what kind of story will be in Dragon Quest.

When the doors of the authorized stores were officially opened, the crowd began to commotion, and the scene was very spectacular. Almost all the people queuing in front of the authorized stores were about to occupy their respective blocks.

The eyes of other shops in the street will pop out.

That kind of sincere envy, jealousy and hatred cannot be concealed.

Looking at the popular game consoles sold in other stores, and the deserted stores selling other products, the contrast is too obvious.

These stores have already begun to consider whether to transform into stores selling video games.

The enthusiasm level of players in the series of games has obviously increased a lot.

It's also different from Super Mario 3.

The plot of Super Mario 3 itself is not coherent. It is a fairly traditional matter of saving the princess, and it is also a story of saving the princess with different patterns.

Super Mario 3 is more about gameplay.

However, in Dragon Quest, the story and gameplay are on an equal footing.

Countless players are eager to see brand new adventure stories, which is a very powerful attraction.

In addition, the sales volume of red and white machines has exceeded one million, and will soon reach two million, and the crowd base is much larger than before.

Inside the store, in addition to the normal queuing sales area, there are several game play areas.

As long as you insert coins, you can play the game in advance.

Now these places are also occupied by strong forces, and almost every game console in the play area has only one game in front of it, and that is Dragon Quest 3.

It’s not that these tourists don’t have money, they can’t wait to have a good time before buying, and then it’s not too late for them to buy when the queue is almost over.

For a while, the entire store was crowded with people, almost to the point of crowding shoulder to shoulder, which was comparable to the Spring Festival travel scene in Huaxia.

"I want ten boxes of Dragon Quest 3!"

"Excuse me, customers. Now we implement a purchase restriction policy. Each person can only buy two boxes for the time being. These are your two boxes of Dragon Quest. Thank you for your patronage."

"Please give me a game console, and a box of Dragon Quest 1 and 3."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage."

...

Now the clerks are crazy busy.

But they seem to be getting used to it.

There are always a few days every month that are particularly busy, and it may be busy from eight o'clock in the morning to more than ten o'clock in the evening.

But these days tend to be the days when they get paid the most too, so they're all happy too.

Moreover, their work is not continuous, and there will be substitutes in the middle, otherwise even the iron man will definitely not be able to last for so long.

Under the hot sales, Dragon Quest once again broke the sales record of the red and white machine game.

The sales data on the first day was 130,000, and the sales data every subsequent day was more than 20,000.

In the end, Dragon Quest 3's sales in the first week reached an astonishing 280,000, almost hitting the 300,000 mark.

You know, the price of this Dragon Quest 3 is a full seven thousand yen.

The price is the same as that of the red and white machine, more than 280,000 yuan in the first week, and the sales volume is 2 billion yen!

This is simply a money grab!

And it's a money grab without any reason.

This is a first-party game. After excluding 30% of the sales cost, the cost of the cassette is almost negligible. In this week, only Dragon Quest has a net profit of at least 1.3 billion.

But this time Zhuyou Xing didn't hide the data.

This kind of data itself is already scary to the extent that it cannot be concealed.

In one week, a small company that has been established for less than a year has a sales profit of 1.3 billion.

If it is a big company with enough publicity channels, the data may be even more terrifying.

Even Su Rui Electronics was surprised this time, and held a meeting overnight to discuss whether to increase the capital investment of the video game division.

This kind of sales data is no longer something Su Rui Electronics can easily ignore.

Even this kind of weekly sales data is only for a specific time, but this week alone is already a blood profit.

However, at this time, most people in Youxing Electronic Entertainment were not happy.

Because during the release of Dragon Quest 3, another thing happened.

During the evening news period of Fuji TV, a talk show was temporarily interrupted.

The title of the program is: Why does a video game lead to vicious incidents of group fights in many places? Is the video game the evil star?

The program begins with a recorded video.

This video is very shaky, as if it was shot with a hand-held camera, and from time to time there will be a burst of loud cursing in the video.

"Bastard! This is my game!"

"Nonsense! Obviously I bought it first! I waited in line all day and all night!"

"Go to hell!"

In the video footage, several people are grappling with each other, and a few boxes of Dragon Quest 3 cassettes are scattered not far away.

Surrounding these wrestling people is a group of people with a hint of anxiety and panic.

Immediately afterwards, the video camera moved slowly to the scattered Dragon Quest 3 cassettes, and the screen gradually zoomed in. The cassettes were crumpled and stained with a little blood.

At the same time, the sound of cursing in the picture has not yet ended.

In the end, the picture was fixed on the blood-stained cassette, and then there was a Fuji TV signature opening sound effect.

Several people who looked very academic were sitting on the sofa in the studio, and the good-looking host was sitting on the side.

When the camera zoomed in, the host smiled.

"Viewers in front of the TV, I'm sorry for temporarily inserting a new program. It's just that it happened suddenly. Our TV station believes that we need to stand up and speak out in a socially responsible manner."

"Presumably, the viewers should have seen a video before the show started. This is a contribution from an anonymous person. He showed us a picture of a certain product on the day it was launched."

"In order to dispute the ownership of a product, people did not hesitate to fight. In the end, several people were arrested and several people were seriously injured. Moreover, this is not just a scene that happened in one place, but a scene that happened in several places. .”

"Every audience should also be very curious now, what kind of thing will cause such a vicious fight, then I will reveal the secret to the audience, this product is a thing called a video game, and it is also a recent Pretty hot stuff, and that's what led to the fight in the picture."
