Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 110 The Multifaceted Blossom of Dragon Quest
One month after its release, Dragon Quest 3 sold 70 copies, the fastest-selling game to date.

The sales volume of Dragon Quest 1 also exceeded 100 million.

This is also the first game in the red and white machine to break through one million sales, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment also specially celebrated it once.

If it is calculated according to the conversion ratio, Dragon Quest 3 should be very good.

And in addition to the sales of video games, Dragon Quest has a lot of other revenue.

Among them, the surrounding areas of Dragon Quest have begun to gradually become hot.

Toys such as Dragon Quest's Hero Sword, Hero Armor, Lot's Shield, etc. have become the best-selling products at the moment.

Not to mention that you can see these things in the streets, but now the image of Dragon Quest in children's hearts has almost equated with their Koshien Superman.

Children's first choice is no longer just Koshien Superman dolls, and now there are more products related to Dragon Quest.

The production team that produced the Koshien Superman special drama was very depressed.

These little brats are really a bunch of unloyal guys. They liked Koshien Superman so much before, but because of the popularity of Dragon Quest, they switched to other camps in a blink of an eye, making their sales of peripheral toys not as good as before.

Secondly, it is the game guide book of Dragon Quest.

This is mainly the responsibility of Kasuga.

Because the content of Dragon Quest 3 is quite large, Kasugasha and Takeyusei finally decided to publish a separate bound volume of the first and third strategy books. There are more than 4 books in A300 paper size. Page color page printing, quite exquisite.

The price is a full [-] yen, which is not cheap, but it can't stop those players who really love this game.

On the one hand, the strategy book can help them clear the game better, and on the other hand, it is also very memorable. It is the first game strategy book in the world to be published alone.

In order to promote the collection value of this thing, Kasuga Club also launched a book number.

The first edition has a circulation of [-] copies, with a total of [-] numbers. Among them, it is possible to obtain the signed copy of the main creator at random, just like a lottery.

Kasuga Club is indeed very smart in this aspect, and there is no need to worry about Zhu Yuxing.

Then [-] copies of the strategy book were sold out on the first week of the game's release, and there was nothing left.

This is exciting for Kasuga, they have never been so popular in the past when they sold some popular manga.

So they contacted the factory overnight to print another 20 copies.

Even these 20 volumes are almost sold out in one month.

Kasuga Club has made a lot of money just by selling books. Among them, as the main person in charge of the promotion of video games in the magazine, Ikeda Dawu is now full of red, and his status in the magazine is also rapidly improving.

Of course, Zhu Yuxing is more profitable. He can easily collect various profit dividends from books just by providing an idea.

Just the sale of a strategy book can finally bring him tens of millions of yen in income.

Zhu Yuxing had already expected this.

In the era when the Internet was not yet fully popularized, the strategy book was the most sacred magic weapon in the hearts of players. Anyone who had such a book could become the sought after object of many people.

Even if the Internet is really popular later, the strategy book will also become a kind of potential collectible, and loyal players who like certain games will buy it without hesitation.

In the previous life, Final Fantasy 7 could sell millions of copies just by selling strategy books. This Dragon Quest loss is due to the lack of game player base, otherwise the sales will definitely be higher.

Of course, the Dragon Quest craze isn't over yet.

Some shrewd businessmen contacted Youxing Electronic Entertainment and were willing to spend money to purchase part of the authorization of Dragon Quest artworks and make some linked peripheral products.

The copyright operation class in the company has just been established, and now it is in charge of any copyright derivatives related to Dragon Quest, and authorization and linkage has already begun.

Immediately afterwards, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment announced that it will produce an animation of Dragon Quest.

The animation plot will start around the story of Dragon Quest 1 and continue to increase the value of this IP.

For example, Suri Electronics, Vaders and Jinping Entertainment watched with greedy eyes.

Then they suddenly realized that video games are not just for games.

Once a game product becomes famous or even out of the circle, the derivative income it brings is also very amazing.

Video games are beginning to form a gradually mature industry chain, and will no longer be limited to making money through games.

Among them, Jinping Entertainment decided to concentrate on the production of game software after clearing the inventory of its own CD player magic game console.

They seem to understand that not everyone can qualify as a game console.

Playing games with other people can also make a lot of money.

Jinping Entertainment is a company that holds a lot of IPs such as animation, film and television, and novels. Their executives immediately thought that by making games of the same name with these IPs, this kind of derivative products can make another wave of money and squeeze their own as much as possible. The potential of IP.

As for whether they will really make games seriously, that's another story.

And Wilders is also seriously operating his own games on the arcade, and plans to try to get some IP series or something.

Surui Electronics is even more straightforward, directly announcing that the second part of its best-selling game Sun Knight is in production, and will also release a bundled limited machine to learn some sales models of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Suri Electronics can be said to be a good student. As long as the company is the most successful, they will immediately follow the example and follow the company behind it, just like crossing the river by touching the company and waiting at any time. With the opportunity to surpass Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

And even if they are not as good as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they have gradually gained a market, and they are beginning to develop towards profitability.

In addition to these, their overseas business is also underway, and overseas publicity activities have begun. It is said that the feedback from abroad is not bad, especially people in Europe and the United States, who are very interested in this emerging entertainment method.

After the release of Dragon Quest 3, the first game development team once again entered the development process of the next game.

And this time Zhuyouxing set a new goal for them, which is to learn new technologies, because the next generation will inevitably log in to SFC, that is, Super Nintendo.

This game console with better performance will inevitably make the game larger and better.

If they can't understand the game console thoroughly, then Zhu Yuxing will not allow them to release the game.

At the same time, Zhu Yuxing also set up a new game first-party game development team called the fifth game development team.

This group will also be responsible for an exclusive series of games.

This series of games is also a favorite of Take Yusei.

That's Final Fantasy.
