For many players, Dragon Quest is now a favorite.
In the queue, some people even played cosplay
wearing a red cloak, a horn helmet, and a plastic sword and shield.
And the children are now in the team with their eyes shining, staring at the large poster of Dragon Quest, imagining what kind of story is in Dragon Quest.
When the door of the authorized store officially opened, the crowd began to riot. The scene was very spectacular. Almost all the people queuing at the entrance of the authorized store were about to occupy their respective blocks.
The eyes of other shops in the street are all staring out.
That sincere envy and hatred cannot be concealed.
Looking at the popularity of game consoles sold in other stores, but these stores selling other products are deserted, the contrast is too obvious.
These stores have begun to consider whether to transform into stores selling video games.
The enthusiasm of players in the series of games has obviously increased a lot.
This is also not the same as Super Mario 3.
The plot of Super Mario 3 itself is not coherent, it is a rather traditional thing about saving the princess, and it is still a different trick for saving the princess.
Super Mario 3 is more about gameplay winning.
However, in Dragon Quest, the story and gameplay are on an equal footing.
Countless players are eager to see a new adventure story, which is a powerful attraction.
In addition, the sales of red and white machines have now 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 put coins, you can play the game in advance.
Now these places are also occupied by a strong force, and there is only one game in front of the game consoles in almost every play area, and that is Dragon Quest 3.
It's not that these gamers are out of 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 there.
For a time, the whole store was crowded with people, almost to the point of shoulder-to-shoulder, which was in line with the Spring Festival travel scene in China.
"I want ten boxes of Dragon Quest 3!"
"Sorry for the guests, now we have a limited purchase policy, and 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 these shop assistants are just crazy.
But they seem to be getting used to it.
There are always some very busy days every month, maybe from 8 in the morning until more than 10 in the evening.
But these days tend to be their most paid, so they're happy too.
Moreover, their work is not uninterrupted, and there will be someone in the middle to replace the shift, 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 red and white console games.
The sales data on the first day was 130,000, and the subsequent daily sales data were more than 20,000.
In the end, the sales of Dragon Quest 3 in the first week reached an astonishing 280,000, and it almost stabbed the butt of the 300,000 mark.
You know, the price of this Dragon Quest 3 is 7,000 yen.
At the same price as the red and white machine, it was more than 180,000 yuan on the first Tuesday, and the sales amounted to 2 billion yen!
This is simply a money grab!
And it's a no-brainer for money.
This is a first-party game. After removing 30% of the cost of sales, the cost of the cassette is almost negligible. This week, Dragon Quest alone has at least 1.3 billion in pure profit.
But this time Zhu Yuxing did not hide the data.
This kind of data 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 will be even more terrifying.
This time, even Suri Electronics was shocked, and held a meeting overnight to discuss whether to increase the capital investment of the video game business department.
This kind of sales data is no longer something that Suri Electronics can easily ignore.
Even this one-week sales data is only for a specific time, but this week alone, it is already a bloody profit.
However, at this time, most people in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment were not happy.
Because during the release of Dragon Quest 3, another thing happened.
During Fuji TV's evening news hours, a talk show was temporarily inserted.
The title of the show is: Why a video game can lead to vicious incidents of multiple group fights, are video games a sin star?
The show begins with a recorded video.
This video is very shaky and seems to have been shot with a handheld camera. From time to time, there will be a loud scolding sound in the video.
"Bastard! This is my game!" " Nonsense
! I bought it first! I queued for a day and a night!
"
A few boxes of Dragon Quest 3 cassettes are scattered not far away.
Around these scuffled people was a group of people with a trace of unease and panic.
Immediately afterwards, the video camera slowly moved to the scattered Dragon Quest 3 cassettes, and the picture gradually enlarged. The cassettes were crumpled and stained with blood.
At the same time, the sound of cursing in the screen did not end.
The final picture was frozen on the blood-stained cassette, and then there was a Fuji TV's signature opening sound effect.
Several people who looked very academic were sitting on the sofa in the studio, while the good-looking host sat on the side.
As the camera zoomed in, the host smiled.
"The viewers in front of the TV, I'm sorry for the temporary interruption of a new program, but the incident happened suddenly. Our TV station, in a socially responsible attitude, felt that we had to stand up and speak up.
" A video before the show started, which was contributed by an anonymous person who showed us a picture of a product on the day it was launched."
"Among them, people fought fiercely in order to dispute the ownership of a product. In the end, several people were arrested and several people were seriously injured. Moreover, this was not just a scene that happened in one place, but a scene that happened in several places. "
The audience should also be very curious now, what kind of thing will lead to such vicious fights, so let me reveal the secret to the audience, this product is a kind of thing called video game, It's also something that's been quite hot recently, and it's this that led to the fights in the picture."
