HOW GOOD THE RED AND WHITE MACHINE IS, HOW BAD THE PN GAME CONSOLE NEXT DOOR IS.
in the month since its release, the game development team has indeed produced four more games, just to win by quantity, each game is a red and white game with a minimum price of 3,000 yen, and it seems that they think their game is worth 3,000 yen.
THIS TIME, WITH A LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN MAKING GAMES, THEY DID NOT MAKE PARTICULARLY LOW-LEVEL MISTAKES, SUCH AS BUGS SUCH AS SCREEN FLICKERING THAT IS UNCOMFORTABLE.
but the game is still not fun enough.
there is no game industry system at present, and they do not have a clue how to do the game, they are just feeling the stones to cross the river.
make four different genres of games in one go, namely a role-playing game similar to dragon quest, a baseball game, a genre they developed themselves, called a shooting game, you play as a camera, specializing in capturing landscapes and occasional supernatural events around the world, and the last type is mario's jumping game.
it can only be said that these programmers are real cattle, employees from large companies have two brushes, and they can still squeeze out four games that you can play in a month.
just the feedback on sales is very unsatisfactory.
IN THE NEXT MONTH, THE PN GAME CONSOLE WAS JUST BARELY STRONGER THAN THE FIRST WEEK'S SALES, MORE THAN 20,000 UNITS, WHICH CAN BE SAID TO BE A REAL STREET FIGHT.
THE MONEY IN THE HANDS OF PLAYERS IS NOT BLOWN BY THE WIND, AND THEY NATURALLY DO NOT HESITATE TO SHOUT GOOD THINGS IN FRONT OF THEM, WHILE THE PN GAME CONSOLE, THAT THING IS NO ONE TO DISCUSS AFTER SUPER MARIO 3 COMES OUT, WHICH ONE TO BUY IS NATURALLY CLEAR AT A GLANCE.
NO ONE DISCUSSED IT BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN BLINDED BY THE EXCELLENT GAMES OF THE RED AND WHITE MACHINE, AND THEY FORGOT HOW BAD THE PN GAME WAS, OF COURSE, THERE WERE STILL SOME SCOLDINGS ON THE INTERNET.
FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE WHO DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY, GRITTED THEIR TEETH AND BOUGHT A PN GAME CONSOLE AND WANTED TO SHOW IT WELL.
they were very happy when they bought it to play, and they thought it was worth it.
but this thing is afraid of contrast.
when they go to a friend's or colleague's house to experience the fun of the red and white machine, they have only one thought in mind.
how did i brain-pump such a thing?
they are eager to throw this thing directly into the trash can, and they are embarrassed to let their colleagues know that they bought this thing to save money and use it.
the minister in charge of the video game division of suri electronics directly scolded at this meeting.
he simply ignored how hard the game really was.
he just saw that there could be explosive games on the red and white machine, and it took about the same amount of time, so why couldn't they do it?
does the company have three heads and six-armed monsters working day and night to help?
these programmers also have a hard time saying it.
in the very strict yueben of the upper and lower levels, the behavior of bumping into the boss is not something that anyone dares to do, and those who dare to do it are either really capable of climbing to a high position, or they are directly forced to roll up and get out.
at least these people are not that kind of person.
they can only swallow their anger, at least when the boss scolds the subordinates, just obediently listen.
"our sales are very poor, although the above does not ask too much of us, but we have to be responsible for the company's trust!" looking at the current results, i am not embarrassed to explain to the above, when the meeting above i was the most humble! "
the crowd was silent.
now no one dares to touch the moldy head.
when the minister's anger subsided, he would talk about it a little, but it felt that talking about it would have no effect.
obviously the minister seems to be in a bit of a hurry to make a difference.
"you guys are talking, how dumb, i need to know why we are doing better, but the red and white machine is still pressing us."
one of the programmers was tempted to say a word.
it's not pressing us on one end, it's directly pressing down on a destroyer.
super mario 3 alone is a peak they can never surpass in a short period of time.
they feel that even if they are creative, they are definitely not as good as the endless gameplay in super mario 3.
it's as if you can never finish playing.
many of them, in order to experience the so-called competitor's game, play and play to find themselves addicted to it, but lead to the delay of their work, in other words, is this a kind of malicious competition of competitors? deliberately making such a fun game to make these programmers addicted to it? suing the other party in this way is estimated to be treated as a fool by the judge.
"now, according to the data we secretly investigated, the sales of red and white machines are at least more than 300,000 units, and they are rapidly expanding at a rate of more than 5,000 units sold every day, and there is super mario 3, and my gossip is that they have sold 100,000 boxes in the first week, do you know what this concept is?"
the following group of programmers heard this number without any surprise.
lakh?
isn't that normal, this game is worth a hundred thousand sales.
don't say that the red and white machine now has the three hundred thousand you surveyed, if there are three million, they have reason to believe that the game's first week sales can directly break the million.
this is no exaggeration.
"their price for a box of cassettes is 5,000 yen, and 100,000 boxes were sold in the first week, so i don't have to help you calculate this money, right?"
of course, money can not be counted in this way, which also needs to remove the cost of marketing, cassette production costs, and the cost of merchants.
however, just the number of sales in the first week, everyone knows that this company must be making a lot of money.
in fact, the red and white machine has now sold more than 400,000 units, but now the daily increase in sales is indeed around 5,000, and it is still slowly rising, and the sales of super mario bros. 3 have exceeded 200,000, and together with dragon quest, tetris, contra and super baseball, they have entered the 200,000 sales camp.
bang.
a slight but rhythmic knock on the door rang out, and the minister looked impatiently at the door: "who is it?" "
the door was slowly pushed open, and an old man who looked energetic walked in in in a suit.
his eyes were sharp as eagles, and he seemed to regard anyone as his prey, and when he first came in, he was full of aura, making everyone feel a strong sense of oppression.
"the society ... president?! how did you get here? "
the minister in his thirties had wide-eyed eyes, and usually only appeared in the ministerial meeting, and the minor minister of his own second-level department did not have any right to speak at the ministerial meeting.
seeing the sudden arrival of the president, he immediately became very humble and bowed deeply to president hayakawa kentaro with his head down.
the rest of the people in the office also quickly got up from their seats.
"sit down, i'm here to see what happened to this newly established department, to see if you have any difficulties, and if you have, you can directly mention it to me."
hayakawa kentaro was unusual, from the imposing appearance just now to a very kind appearance, simply free.
he can treat the minister with words, but he will be kind to the subordinates, which is a rare leader.
this left everyone stunned.
"the society ... president, i'm very sorry that our department failed commercially before. "
"well, i knew this before i came."
hayakawa kentaro nodded, then walked to where the minister had just been, and the minister almost immediately gave up his position to the president, and he stood on the side waiting for the dispatch.
"video games are a very good emerging field, and maybe this will be the next breakthrough in the development of our company, so don't look at you as a secondary department, but i've been paying attention."
everyone's breathing was stagnant.
has the movement on your side been being watched?
everyone, including the minister, is now in a slight cold sweat, of course, the minister is sweating more, because he is a direct superior, and he will be most directly accused of department problems.
"president, the video game industry doesn't look big yet, so we've been carefully probing for fear of losing too much to the company." the minister asked cautiously.
"not big? is there something wrong with your data? kentaro hayakawa glanced at the minister with a look of doubt in his eyes.
the minister immediately pressed his head even lower.
"this... i have been paying close attention to the movements of youxing electronic entertainment, and our data we have been updating, there should be no problems. "
hayakawa kentaro raised his hand and said, "then you show me the data you have collected." "
the minister immediately handed over the data file he had previously placed on the table.
after a few brief glances, kentaro hayakawa placed the file on the table.
"the data is outdated, you are still not detailed enough, now if there is no accident, the sales of game consoles of youxing electronic entertainment should reach more than 400,000, of which the sales of four games have exceeded 200,000."
the data survey is wrong and very different, which can be said to be a fairly serious mistake.
in more serious cases, this will obviously make management misjudge the development of the entire industry.
as for how hayakawa kentaro can get more detailed data, he naturally has his own channels, and the old man always has a bit of an unknown bottom card.
"Just from the inception of the company to the present, half a year or so has relied on the simple video game field to achieve huge profits, From this, it can be seen that this industry is now a complete gold mine, and no one can find out how much potential there is now, and it would be a pity if we gave it up. "
now the minister didn't even dare to say anything.
the big mistake in the data has left him with only a share of apologies, and now anything he says is a sophistry.
"therefore, i have decided to increase the investment of funds and manpower in your business unit, even if it is not up to the first level business department for the time being, it is also the best department in the second level."
increase the investment of capital and manpower? does this mean that the president did not accuse them?
everyone seemed to hear the voice, and their hearts could not help but whisper a burst of joy, especially this minister, who also had a bright eye, which meant that his real power would be higher?
so it seems that the occasional failure is not a bad thing?
"however, i think this minister's position should need to be changed, it seems that you are still difficult to be a big post, temporarily take the post of deputy minister, tomorrow there will be a new minister to take over."
the minister, who had just been in office for more than a month, had not been happy for long, and now his heart was thrown into the ice lake.
finished.
this is tantamount to demotion, and once demotion is made in such a company, it is basically equivalent to the future stopping.
with direct orders from the president, there was almost no room for intercession, and it was clear that kentaro hayakawa was really starting to take video games seriously.
in fact, even the management shareholders of suri electronics do not understand this person's mind and do not understand why they are suddenly very optimistic about the video game field.
however, they are all on par with money, as long as the dividends at the end of the year are not much, many departments are nothing.
