Chapter 100 - unexpected events

for many players, dragon quest is now a favorite.

in the crowd of people in line, there were even people playing

wear a red cloak, wear a bullhorn helmet, and then hold a plastic sword and shield.

and the children are now in the team with their eyes glazed over, staring at the large poster of dragon quest, fantasizing about what the story of dragon quest should be.

when the doors of the authorized shops were officially opened, the crowd began to stir, and the scene was so spectacular that almost all the people queuing up at the entrance of the authorized shops were about to occupy their respective blocks.

the eyes of the other shops in the passing block are all staring out.

that kind of heartfelt envy and jealousy cannot be concealed.

look at the game consoles sold in other stores are so hot, and these stores that sell other products are deserted, the contrast is too obvious.

these stores have begun to consider whether to transform into stores that sell video games.

the player enthusiasm of the series has increased significantly.

it's also different from super mario 3.

super mario 3 itself is not coherent in its plot, it is a fairly traditional rescue of the princess, and it is also a rescue princess with a different pattern in every movie.

super mario 3 is more about gameplay to win.

however, dragon quest is a story on an equal footing with gameplay.

countless players are eager to see a new adventure story, which is a very powerful attraction.

in addition, now the sales of red and white machines have exceeded one million, and will soon reach two million, and the crowd base is much larger than at the beginning.

inside the store, in addition to the normal queued sales area, there are several game play areas.

as long as you coin, you can play the game in advance.

now these places are also occupied by strong powers, and almost every play area has only one game in front of the console, that is, dragon quest 3.

these people who play are not without money, they are already eager to cool down before buying, and then wait for the queue to be almost ready for them to buy it.

for a time, the whole store was crowded, almost to the point of rubbing shoulders, and there was a fight with the spring festival scene in china.

"i want ten boxes of dragon quest 3!"

"sorry guests, now we implement a purchase restriction policy, each person can only buy two boxes for the time being, this is your two boxes of brave dragon fighting, thank you for your patronage."

"please give me a game console and a box of dragon quest 1 and 3."

"okay, thank you for your patronage."

...

now the clerks are just crazy.

but they also seem to be getting used to this kind of work.

there are always a few days of the month that are particularly busy, and it may be busy from eight o'clock in the morning to more than ten o'clock in the evening.

but these days are often their highest salaries, so they are also very happy.

and their work is not uninterrupted, there will be someone in the middle, otherwise even the iron man will never last so long.

under the hot sales, dragon quest once again broke through the sales record of the red and white machine game.

the sales data on the first day is 130,000, and the subsequent daily sales data is more than 20,000.

in the end, the first week of dragon quest 3 sold a staggering 280,000, almost stabbing the 300,000 mark in the ass.

you know, the price of this dragon quest 3 is seven thousand yen.

and the price of the red and white machine, more than 180,000 in the first tuesday, sales sold for 2 billion yen!

it's a grab for money!

and it's a money grab that doesn't make any sense.

this is a first-party game, stripped of thirty percent of the cost of sales, the cost of cassette is almost negligible, this week, only dragon quest has at least thirteen billion net profits.

and this time, zhu youxing did not hide this data.

this kind of data itself has been frightening to the point of being impossible to hide.

in a week, a small company that has been established for less than a year has a sales profit of 1.3 billion.

if it is a large company and there are enough publicity channels, the data will probably be more terrifying.

this time, even suri electronics was shocked, and met overnight to discuss whether to increase the capital investment of the video game business department.

this kind of sales data is not something that su rui electronics can easily ignore.

even this weekly sales figure is only a specific time, but this week alone is already bloody.

however, most of the people in the electronic entertainment of the star at this time are not happy.

because during the release of dragon quest 3, another thing happened.

during fuji tv's evening news slot, a panel discussion program was temporarily inserted.

the title of the show is: why does a video game lead to a vicious event of multiple groups fighting and fighting, is a video game a sin star?

the show begins with a video recording.

the video is very shaky, it seems to have been shot with a handheld video camera, and from time to time there will be a noisy scolding and grinning sound in the video.

"bastards! this is my game! "

"nonsense! obviously, i bought it first! i was in line for a day and a night! "

"Give me to die!"

in the video footage, several people wrestle with their teeth and claws, and not far away are several boxes of dragon quest 3 cassettes.

around these few wrestling people was a group of people with a hint of uneasiness and panic.

immediately after, the video camera slowly moved to the scattered dragon quest 3 cassette, the picture gradually enlarged, the cassette box was crumpled at this time, and it was still stained with a little blood.

at the same time, the sound of cursing in the picture is not over.

the final scene is fixed on the blood-stained cassette box, followed by a fuji tv signature opening sound.

several people who looked very academic were sitting on the sofa in the studio, and the good-looking host was sitting on the side.

wait for the camera to close, the host smiles at the opening.

"the audience in front of the tv set, i am sorry to temporarily insert a new program, but it is sudden, and our tv station, in a socially responsible attitude, feels that we need to stand up and speak out."

"presumably, you should have seen a video before the show started, which was submitted by an anonymous person who showed us a picture of the day of the launch of a certain product."

"in order to argue over the ownership of a product, people did not hesitate to fight, and finally several people were arrested, several people were seriously injured, and this is not just a scene that happened in one place, but a scene that happened in several places."

"you should also be very curious about what kind of thing will lead to this vicious fight and brawl incident, so i will reveal to you that this product is a thing called a video game, and it is also a very hot thing recently, and it is this that leads to the fight in the picture."
