Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 451 Please Don't Misunderstand

"Well, GSL has sold another hill, this thing is really popular."

The investigator from Suri Electronics stood by the shelf to observe, and took out a pen to record the general data.

The sales of GSL handhelds have been very good in the past few days. The products are piled up like a mountain, and then they will be quickly digested on the day, and then piled up into a mountain.

This cycle goes on and on, an average of one hill will be digested every hour, and a hill has an average of about two hundred boxes of game consoles. The investigator only needs to record the average consumption speed of these hills, and the work is considered easy. Occasionally he You can even take the time to go to the demo area to play.

"Sorry sir, our GS1 game console is temporarily out of stock, but a new batch will arrive tomorrow, so please wait patiently."

Not far away, a clerk was explaining apologetically to a customer.

The investigator turned his head subconsciously and found that it was a young female customer.

This is really rare.

No, it's not uncommon, at least he has seen more and more female customers these days.

In addition to female customers, there are many elderly and middle-aged people.

These should not have been included in the game console player group in the game market.

But these people also seem to have developed an interest in game consoles.

It should not be bought for myself, it may be a gift for children or relatives.

The investigator thought subconsciously.

Um?Wait, the home game console GS1 is already sold out in this store?
Isn't this a console that's been out for a year or two?Why is it still out of stock?
As a member of the marketing department, he will have a rough estimate of the sales of some products.

Generally speaking, if the production capacity is not limited, a product must be in sufficient supply one year after its release.

Unless something unexpected happens, such as some ads that work well in certain regions, people in that region start wanting to buy a product that's been on sale for a year or two.

Or some special cases.

It happened before that after a celebrity's private life photos were exposed, it was found that the celebrity was clearly advertising a skin care product, but secretly, he has been advertising competitors' products, which in turn caused the sales of competitors' products to skyrocket.

So, do you want to record this abnormal situation?
The investigator thought about it and decided to record it.

The sales of Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s home game console GS1 are abnormal, and the official direct-sale store is out of stock, but the specific sales data needs to be investigated in conjunction with other channels.

After making this record, his day's work is almost done today.

Next, it's time to experience the games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment!

He couldn't wait to go to one of the demo areas and start to experience it. At the same time, in order to avoid making himself look too different and being suspicious, he decided to buy a GSL handheld that is currently on sale.

Don't get me wrong, I just want to avoid being suspicious, not because I want to play a competitor's game.

Well, with a handheld, you must buy two boxes of game cartridges, right?
After playing the game for a while, the investigator finally decided to buy the most popular games.

The clerk served the investigator very enthusiastically and did not seem to know the true identity of the investigator.

In other words, it doesn't matter if you know about it. Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't care about other people investigating these things.

The investigator who bought the game he wanted came home from get off work in a good mood.

This kind of work is really better than working in an office.

……

One day, the latest issue of Time Magazine featured such a big headline.

player era.

The cover below the title is a scene of more than a dozen people of different ages, genders, and professional images playing the game.

Some of them looked like soldiers, some looked like scientists.

Video games seem to be expanding in all aspects from a once niche industry.

No matter what your occupation, no matter what your hobbies, video games can always bring you a good mood.

This is the first time Time Magazine has published a video game, which represents a milestone.

The previous video game cultural circle has a very small radiation range, and only a small number of people will be interested in it.

But now video games have their own legion of supporters from all walks of life, so that anyone in any industry will take a hard look at this whole new industry when they see it.

Whether they want to suppress them because they touch their interests, or want to actively cooperate on the contrary, depends on whether the leaders of other industries have vision.

However, although the cover is a combined photo of players in the entire industry, the content of Time Magazine is an exclusive interview with Zhu Youxing.

This seems to be the official recognition that Zhu Yuxing is the leader and representative of this industry.

In the article, Zhu Youxing has always emphasized serving players well, because he is also a player, and serving players well is also serving himself well, and he always keeps his attitude low. The editor of Time Weekly appreciates this very much and published a post. own opinion.

And this article will naturally also have influence, but this influence will not spread to ordinary users, but will allow those investment giants such as Wall Street to see more business opportunities.

After reading this article, they all began to consider whether to increase their investment in video games.

It's just that they have recently invested a lot of money into the Internet, and it's not enough to get some money to invest in the game.

After careful consideration for a long time, they decided to get some money and invest a little bit first.

But obviously they care more about the Internet industry, because they feel that video games are only for people who like to play games.

But the Internet is something that almost everyone must contact and understand in the future, so the magnitude of users on both sides is definitely not the same level.

In the corporate headquarters of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, after two days of freshness, Zhu Yuxing felt a little lonely with an independent floor.

Therefore, he hardly ever stayed in his office, and most of the time was concentrated in the game development department and continued to watch the development of the game.

The GSL handheld is released, and all the first games have completed the first mission, but it does not mean that the work is over.

Next, each game development team was successively assigned new jobs.

Zhu Yuxing has a lot of game production plans next. Street Fighter should consider updating it and become the third Street Fighter part. Then Zhu Yuxing also thought that he probably didn’t have the energy to open a new pit of The King of Fighters, so he simply put The King of Fighters characters have also been moved to Street Fighter.

It just so happens that Street Fighter's own characters are not too many, and the number of characters combined in the two games is probably beyond imagination.

It's just that the department in the company that specializes in game values ​​may be blinded.

The introduction of character action values ​​of this order of magnitude might not directly overload their brains.
