Chapter 344 Suzuki Yu's new game

Replenishing stocks to Japan is a must-do. It is impossible for me to put such a hot market out of stock during Christmas. However, the sales of 1.1 million gameboys on Christmas Day is really a miraculous number, because so many sources of goods are impossible without preparation in advance.

However, after Jester convened several management personnel in charge of logistics for consultation, he found that he was a little confused by the huge sales figure. In fact, the reason why Christmas can sell more than one million gameboys is precisely because this day is Christmas.

It is officially because I need to give gifts to my children and relatives on this day, so there is a centralized sales explosion. After Christmas, a sharp drop in sales will be inevitable, and the decline will definitely not be 20% as Jester predicted before, but at least 50%.

Jester is convinced by the professionals' statement. The most important thing is that even if he doesn't believe it, there is no way, because he is not able to ship a million gameboys before the release tomorrow, but it is extremely difficult to get hundreds of thousands of them.

By phone, Jester contacted Guo, who was far away, and Guo said that although there was more than 700,000 units in stock that had just been produced, he could contact a few transport aircraft at most temporarily, but the transportation volume was not guaranteed to be too large, which was only 200,000 to 300,000 units, which could be guaranteed to be delivered before it was officially released tomorrow.

Jester thought about it and it would take about ten hours to arrive in Japan if it took off from California. If it went well, it would still be possible to arrive before the official launch tomorrow, but the shipping volume he could contact was only 200,000 to 300,000 units.

The unrealistic situation in China is that no matter how great your face is, it is impossible to contact a large number of transport aircraft like in the United States. No matter how much money you spend, it will not work. This is a political issue, not a transportation issue, but it is the case for China now.

With this calculation, he could actually ship to Japan at a total of up to 600,000 units tomorrow. However, the cost of such freight will be extremely terrible. Jester only made a rough estimate that after this trip, he could not make any money with 600,000 gameboys. He even had to post a lot of them in.

However, this is also impossible. Some things, after making mistakes in the previous judgment, you have to find all ways to remedy them. If you don’t remedy them, it is likely to cause greater losses. At least in Jester’s view, you cannot be out of stock during Christmas, even if it is necessary. You must ensure that you do your best to pass them.

The sales scene in the United States is exactly the same as in Japan.

The one-sided crushing sales of Gameboy in the Japanese game console market is completely different. In the Japanese market, it goes without saying that Nintendo's FC, which is now outdated, is even a PC-E with better performance than Dreambox, or the first 16-bit home game console, which is not worth mentioning in the face of Gameboy's powerful sales.

In terms of sales on the first day and sales of game consoles, gameboy almost swept everything with a domineering world. After the sales of 1.1 million units a day were announced, not only was Jester shocked when he learned this number at the first time, but according to rumors, when Yuki Yamauchi got the accurate news of this sales figure, he was so angry that he smashed all the things that could be smashed in his room aside.

As for Shirooshi Nakayama, after hearing the news, he just sighed without any extreme reaction. For him, MD's sales in North America were very good. It was just an accident that he did not do in Japan like in North America.

Among the sales volumes on the first day of Christmas, except for Gameboy's 1.1 million**, which are in the top spot and other home game consoles cannot reach, Mars Entertainment's dreambox still ranks second. From the experience of the previous life, Jester knew that Japanese players are very loyal and their love for a game console will last for a long time.

The third place is Sega's new console md. The world's first 16-bit home game console has attracted a large number of players with its unparalleled performance and the efforts of several new games launched specifically for Christmas. After watching the demonstrations of these new games and the exquisite pictures of the 16-bit home game consoles, these players took out the money in their hands without hesitation.

Jester is not very familiar with these games. One of them is the producer Yu Suzuki. The main style is an action-type level-passing game, and you can choose multiple characters. However, according to Jester's memory in his mind, he does not have the impression of this game, and in his memory, Yu Suzuki has never made only such a game.

When Sega was just launched, he brought this game back through the plane at the first time, and he immediately experienced this new game of Yu Suzuki with several subordinates. To be honest, when he made games with relatively core and single gameplay or relatively short and fast, Yu Suzuki performed very well, but in this kind of large-scale games that require the overall plot, in Jester's opinion, Yu Suzuki still lacks a lot.

At least Jester did not see the unique and unique spirituality and traits that Suzuki Yu showed in the types of games he was good at. In fact, this was also mentioned by later players who analyzed why "Shenmu" that Suzuki and his team worked hard and hard did not receive the due praise.

"If this game is eliminated from the MD console, it will be much stronger than ours. It can only be said that it is average. However, it is because of this powerful picture ability that this game looks better. However, as far as I know, several of our design teams are also developing our 16-bit home computer games, and the quality of the game is much better than that of Yu Suzuki."

Piges is a leader of the development team. When Jester was developing "Flame Emblem", he participated in the construction of the entire game system as Jester's assistant. However, his favorite is the action level game, and he couldn't say he likes role-playing games very much. So when he had the opportunity to lead the development team independently, he resolutely chose a person who was interested in developing action level game.

Later, because the game developed was extremely outstanding, it received great praise in terms of sales and reputation, Mark Seni dropped it to the development team that was founded by Mars Entertainment when it was just established. Now it has been officially renamed 'kinbg', which is very good at developing action-level games and is very experienced.

Piges is now the production director of this development team. The previous production of "Avengers 3" was completed by him personally leading the development team.

Regarding the understanding of this type of game development, Jester, who has a lot of experience in his later generations, may be ashamed of himself. In a previous discussion, Jester found that Pigez had a very deep understanding of such games, and he even saw the limitations of this type of game in arcades.

Moreover, he also put forward a very constructive view on how to promote this type of game on home computers in the future.

Therefore, he commented that Yu Suzuki, who was engaged in the development of this type of game for the first time, was very valuable. The people present were very experienced designers of various types. Their understanding of action-level games may not be as deep as Pigez, but they could all see that this game is very good at speaking in terms of the purely content of the game and the game experience that deducts the sensory stimulation brought by the sound effects.

Jester also agrees deeply.

However, Jishi recalled that Pigez had just completed "Avengers 3" recently and the entire development team was having a pleasant long vacation, so he still didn't know what the oldest design team in Mars Entertainment would have next, because of the relationship between this development team and Mark Seni, and he was concerned about the affairs of this development team, I think it was all Mark Seni who was responsible for it.

"Let's talk about Yu Suzuki's game for now. It's just that he has no experience in this type of game, but there are almost no ones in our company that can compare with him in the type of game he is good at... By the way, Pigez, what do you think next? It is said that Mark Seni is also interested in making action-through games on sixteen-bit computers?"

Jester asked with a smile. In fact, he didn't think it was a wise decision to develop such games on dreambox 2. It took a lot of effort to make a good game of this type, and because this game type is not a best-selling type and the sales are not high.

As of now, even if the home machine transplant version of "Avengers 3" is released, this game, which has been praised by many arcade players as a sequel to "Avengers", cannot obtain the sales of "Avengers" on the new console platform.

It’s not because it’s not good enough, but because the times have changed.
