After returning to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment, Jester just hurried to the restaurant for a little while and then prepared for the next discussion meeting.

After this discussion meeting.

The entire project team will enter the first phase of closed development.

According to the original plan, you must take out a try-in deck before the end of the year.

Only by finding this trial-making de can you formally decide how much money this project needs to be invested. However, it is now maintaining this team of nearly 300 people for nearly a year, and with some of the previous year's research and development success, it has cost almost 40 million US dollars. From this point of view, it is still a big deal to say whether the investment amount of 200 million US dollars that Jester said before is enough.

Although Mars Entertainment is decided by Jester alone.

However, the entire Mars Entertainment is a large group of countless game developers. When discussing when to develop, it basically speaks freely.

If Jester only knew how to do a man, then Mars Entertainment would not be far from falling apart.

The United States does not have the soil of Japan, so it is difficult to do something like that. Now Mars Entertainment only relies on Jester's reputation to lead the elite characters in various game development. With the atmosphere of freedom, as long as you have talent and ability, there are almost no restrictions on development conditions, which can allow so many outstanding talents to stay.

If Jester also had a one-man show of Japanese companies, Mars Entertainment might have fallen apart in less than a month.

After all, what people in this kind of IT industry dislike the least is to restrict their own ideas and thinking.

Not everyone agreed to Jester's development plan at that time.

It’s not that they are not optimistic about this game, but that some of the technologies that this game needs to be applied. From now on, it is still very troublesome and difficult to complete. Moreover, the development time is too long and the development team is too large. There is too much money to consume.

Although Mars Entertainment’s business is big, it seems that a project worth $200 million cannot be damaged even if it fails.

However, this is $200 million. Even if Jester's two games sell well, the pure profit may not be $200 million, so it is normal for many people to disagree.

Their opinion is to wait a few years before making this game after the technology becomes more mature.

There are many people who have this idea, and Jester cannot convince them alone. This is too troublesome, so he directly put forward a suggestion and finally passed it under internal discussion, that is, Mars Entertainment can invest up to 200 million US dollars. If it exceeds this amount, Jester will have to find a way to get it all by himself.

Of course, the income obtained by the game is finally released and the amount of investment is divided according to the amount of investment.

But Jester didn't think so much.

Because he knew that this game would basically lose money, because the investment required was too large, and the 200 million US dollars of Mars Entertainment might not be enough. He specially prepared at least 200 million US dollars as backup. Moreover, it is certain that according to the current development plan, at least 100 million US dollars will be added.

Such a large investment amount, how much sales are needed to ensure profitability.

In addition, this is a game destined to be released on the new console platform, and it is also a game destined to be released on the early stages of the new platform.

What does the release represent in the early stages of the new platform?

It means that in a short period of time, it is impossible to generate a large amount of sales.

You know, in Jester's memory, even the fastest host to reach 10 million sales in history, ps4 took ten months.

It is amazing to be able to achieve a sales ratio of about 10 to 1 on a host.

For example, the famous naughty dog.

Many people may say that playing the Ps series console is exclusive, so many people think that as Sony's ace Naughty Dog game, it should be bought by any player who has purchased Ps4?

But in fact, this is not the case. Naughty Dog's game, which accounts for a 10-to-1 or 9-to-1 number in the sales of ps consoles.

For example, the famous Shenhai 3, the sales volume of PS3 is 80 million units, while the sales volume of Shenhai 3 is not even 8 million units.

And the sales of ps4 reached 22 million units.

The sales of the Ps4 version of "The Doomsday of the United States" are only more than 2 million units.

Even in the era of ps2, the highest sales game on this platform is gta3, with more than 10 million sets. Compared with the sales of 150 million units of the entire ps2 console, this game is just one to eleven.

Also, in the unprecedented era of P2, the first game with more than one million sets on this platform was "Ghost Warrior".

It was not until one year after the console was released. At that time, ps2 had a platform of more than 10 million as its foundation, and in contrast, its new console.

Jester never imagined that his new console could reach the terrifying sales of PS2, with 150 million units. In fact, when Jester thought that his new console could reach the sales of 80 million units of PS3, he was very satisfied, because the first generation of Dream waves, the sales so far were only less than 70 million units.

The sales volume of DreamWave 2 is not as high as the sales volume of DreamWave's first generation.

Of course, this is also the first generation of DreamWaves has been bought for seven years, while DreamWaves 2 has only been sold for a few years. After all, time is here.

However, although the final sales volume is still undeniable, it is better to be able to tie the sales figures of the first generation of DreamWave by seven years. For the rest, Jester does not have much luxury.

After all, the competition between the three hosting providers is much more intense than that between the two hosting providers.

The road ahead of Jester is actually very clear now.
