"dragon quest? some of them, just as we are engaged in a promotion, can be purchased at a 10% discount of 4500 yen. "
the clerk was very happy that after such a long time, a customer who wanted to buy dragon quest had finally arrived.
when the customer heard this, he took out five sheets of one thousand yen and handed them over. "for you, i want a box."
the buyer wears a pair of glasses that look like a veteran otaku, and he seems to be holding a freshly unopened manga magazine in his hand.
"charge you five thousand yen, find you five hundred, and your dragon quest cassette, thank you for coming."
the clerk stooped slightly, and the man nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
seeing the figure of the customer leaving, the soul of the player in his heart couldn't help but want to explode, so he said out loud: "that i want to ask, why do you want to buy dragon quest?" because is it fun to watch others play this game? "
the customer looked back, then raised the comic book in his hand and said, "no, it's the comic i read, saying that playing this can know the follow-up storyline in advance, and you can also play the role of a brave to experience the story, i just want to play and see." "
"well, then i'll tell you, in addition to the touching story, the game itself is super fun."
"is it?" customers responded with some uncertainty.
he is also a player.
however, he liked contra a little more.
because that's a cool fight.
dragon quest he had seen the gameplay before, but he felt that the picture was a bit monotonous and boring, and the picture effect was not as good as the picture of the soul douluo.
the reason why i came to buy it today is entirely because the story of the manga suddenly came to an abrupt end.
in the manga, the brave man has come to the stone tablet deep in the cave to learn the secret of his origin.
then the brave man came out of the cave and was attacked by the dragon king's men, seemingly intending to kill the brave man who was not yet powerful first.
that's where the story ends.
damn, why do you cartoonists always like to end a sentence at the most critical moment?
can't you finish the painting?!
at that time, his mood was quite complicated, he wanted to know the follow-up story, and he didn't know what to do.
he had even begun to consider sending blades to the author.
then he noticed that after the end of the comic, it was written like this: the video game of the same name is on sale, you can personally feel the whole story of the story, learn the whole story of dragon quest in advance, welcome to buy.
after seeing this news, he immediately came to his senses, took the comic book he had just bought, and began to look for it in the nearby neighborhood, and finally came here.
the customer left with the game cartridge, and the clerk returned to the store manager with some happiness.
"store manager, you see, the dragon quest is still bought."
"well, that's just a person, it doesn't say anything at all."
the store manager still didn't quite believe in the sales of this thing.
there had been little improvement in the previous month or two.
in the statistics of youxing electronic entertainment, it has only reached 40,000 in three months, and the sales data of game consoles has reached 200,000, and contra and tetris have broken through to 100,000 sales, followed by other games.
he didn't think dragon quest would suddenly sell well.
the store manager is not a player, he does not understand the fun of the game, but he feels that he knows how to sell things.
if a product is left unavailable for a long time, it is basically cold.
however, as soon as the store manager's voice dropped, another child with a comic book walked in.
"big brother, do you have any dragon quest game cartridges for sale here?"
the clerk immediately ran out again and said happily, "yes and no!" today there is a 10% discount on dragon fighting, a total of 4,500 yen! "
"really? it's 500 yen cheaper! that big brother i want a box! "
the store manager's expression was stunned.
another one?
it was not always possible to sell a box for the past day.
and that's not the end of it.
several more customers came in one after another, and the first one to ask was the game dragon quest.
and they almost all have one thing in common, that is, they all hold the latest issue of kasuga manga magazine in their hands.
the dragon quest comic card comes to an abrupt halt at the most critical moment, and people can't help but go crazy.
then they also noticed the few lines of small print at the bottom of the ending.
being able to experience all the storylines, but also with the brave's perspective, can also experience the whole story, which sounds more engaging than the comics.
so they started looking around the streets for places to buy game cartridges, not even asking for the price, as long as you have me and i will pay.
at the same time, this suddenly led to the sales of game consoles.
some senior manga readers do not have a game console, in order to be able to play the dragon quest, they will not hesitate to buy the game console plus the game cartridge, so that it is more than 10,000 yen, and the consumption power has rarely increased a lot.
one person, two people, three people.
until a dozen people came in in a row to ask about the dragon quest game, the store manager couldn't calm down at all.
"hey, take the discount announcement down!"
previous discounts were made to sell the game as quickly as possible.
but now it seems that many people are beginning to be interested in dragon quest.
he didn't know what caused these people to suddenly buy daredevil dragon fighting en masse.
but he knew that if he continued to discount, he would sell 500 yen less per box of games.
in this way, you will earn almost 10,000 yen less.this hurt him a lot.
in addition to this store, other authorized sales stores are also playing the same scene.
the store managers who had complained about the backlog of cassette tapes in dragon quest were now smiling one by one.
the profit of dragon quest is the highest in the game cassette, because dragon quest buys the most expensive, five thousand yen a box, the purchase cost is seventy percent of the retail price, and if it is sold at normal price, you can earn a profit of fifteen hundred yen.
in just a few moments they sold a lot.
at the same time, the topic of dragon quest on the internet is also beginning to increase rapidly.
the small circle communication at the beginning is also slowly expanding.
About three days later, new week's sales data was placed in front of Zhu Youxing.
game consoles sold 240,000, and now they are rising at a rate of almost 10,000 a day.
with the increase in publicity to surrounding cities, the momentum of this data rise has also increased.
contra sold 150,000 copies, ranking first.
tetris was followed by 140,000 copies, ranking second.
then there was the super baseball tournament with 120,000 copies, ranking third.
and the fourth place, is the brave dragon fighting, 100,000 copies.
in three days, dragon quest soared with more than 20,000 sales figures a day.
in the end, it climbed from the original bottom of the 40,000 sales figure to 100,000.
the rest of the games basically hover around fifty thousand to ninety thousand.
after seeing this data, zhu youxing finally couldn't help but smile.
the dragon quest has finally come out.
i can wait too long.
in fact, role-playing games have always been the bulk of game console sales, and before guns and carts dominate, who can do a role-playing game well represents who has an absolute advantage.
this trend didn't change until about a decade later, but role-playing games were still popular, albeit slightly reduced.
it seems that the publicity effect of the comic is really good.
but this is actually a certain degree of serendipity, otherwise in the past life, only a few games such as dragon quest would rise.
in addition to takeyuki, daigo ikeda is also very happy now.
because the sales figures of comic magazines have also suddenly increased a little recently, and at a time when the sales data of other peers are slowly declining, their sales have suddenly increased, which is exciting news.
