Chapter 133 Rolling

Among her classmates, there were many people who played earlier than her, but she was the first one to leave her name on the game console.

This also made her proud for a long time, knowing that her record was broken by a classmate from the same school she didn't know, but she could only sigh at the record left by the classmate she didn't know.

Although Mars Entertainment has released many other games later, Azshara's favorite is "America Square". Her biggest dream before was to be able to play this game in her dormitory or at home, but the arcade is too expensive and it is not cost-effective to buy it home, so she has never put this idea into reality.

Just recently, when she was watching the news, she learned that Mars Entertainment developed a home game console, and her favorite "American Square" will be released as the first game while releasing the game console.

The moment he heard this news made Azshara ecstatic.

Originally, she wanted to take a leave and fly to Las Vegas to participate in the CES exhibition, and wanted to experience whether "American Cubes" played on Dreambox was as enjoyable as it was on arcades. However, she had an important exam at the time, so the plan failed to come. However, immediately after the CES exhibition, Mars Entertainment also revealed that it would start its trial sale on February 15, and only those who purchased the trial sale invitation on February 7 were eligible to participate in the purchase.

Azshara has never heard of the invitation to the trial sale, but it does not prevent her from understanding what it is. It is like an entry paper. If you want to buy dreambox as soon as possible during the trial sale, you must first get the qualification to purchase it in advance.

And this invitation is the qualification to purchase.

So, Azshara drove over from Georgia overnight. Before dawn was dawn when she arrived in New York, she followed the map she had prepared long ago and came directly to the flagship store of Mars Entertainment. She thought she had arrived early. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she saw that there had been at least hundreds of people in the scene. After asking, she found out that in front of the queue, those who even had tents arrived two days in advance.

These people are all fans of Mars Entertainment Games, and many of them have very similar experiences to her. They all accidentally played a Mars Entertainment game. Then they were attracted by this game and became their fans completely.

Azshara also had some surprise discovery, which was a small surprise.

In this first game, most people are looking forward to the same thing as her, the "American Cube" that was once popular all over the United States. Many people even came for this game, and some of them were even disdainful of electronic games before. They fell in love with electronic games because of the "American Cube".

In a previous selection by Game magazine, which game is the best game? Among the reply messages received, "American Square" was ranked first with a high vote, and "Pam-man" ranked second with an obvious disadvantage. The most amazing thing is that in the top ten, Mars Entertainment's games were shortlisted for six. "Avengers", which had not yet been released during this selection, actually entered the top ten, ranking seventh.

After the invitation letter officially started selling, Azshara followed the crowd and moved to the store.

A staff member who was in charge of this release before also showed them the appearance of the invitation letter, which was indeed as exquisite as the advertisements on TV, as if it were a work of art, at least for Azshara. She might not have seen it on TV before. Now, after seeing the appearance of the invitation letter with her own eyes at close range, this invitation letter with a very medieval court style actually gave her a very heavy sense of history.

For her, this invitation letter was not shoddy. The seriousness of this detail also gave many players present, including her. At least around her, looking at the exquisite invitation letter just now, they were very cheering, and even people kept screaming, which was so beautiful!

Mars Entertainment and Fengxing's release preparations have been done very well. With the experience of holding player trial parties in the previous few times, they are becoming more and more adept at organizing such large-scale events. At least facing a large number of players waiting to buy invitations, the employees of Mars Entertainment and Fengxing's release are not panicked at all and have been proceeding in an orderly manner.

Jester was drinking coffee alone in a cafe not far away and watching the sale scene. He was quietly waiting for the return of specific data, but judging from this situation, the number sold was obviously not ugly.

“Boss!”

More than an hour later, an employee of Fengxing Distribution hurriedly walked into the cafe. He looked up and confirmed the location of the person he was looking for. He quickly walked to Jester. The employee looked surprised and even had a hint of unconcealed excitement in his tone.

The moment Jester saw the employee's face, he knew from his excited expression that in the first hour, his invitation letter must be a big deal, and it was a big deal far beyond Nintendo.

As expected by Jest, the employee said in an extremely excited tone: "The first hour, 23,000 copies!"

Hearing this number, Jester couldn't help but stand up. His face turned a little flushed, and his fists were clenched together. When he saw the number of people in line, he had a premonition that this invitation event might be sold well, but it sold 23,000 copies in an hour, which was still too much beyond his expectations.

This number is too unreal.

This is just the number of flagship experience stores sold in New York, not including the one in Los Angeles. Moreover, Los Angeles is its own base camp, so the number of sales should not be less than that in New York.

You know, an hour is only 3,600 seconds. It was already a very amazing number that Nintendo was able to sell 1,500 units in one hour. This means that they could sell a NES game console in less than four seconds, so Jester was so depressed when he heard this number.

But 23,000 copies, this number is also...

After being excited, Jester's brows also frowned. This number brought him a sense of inreality, which means he had to sell seven or eight invitations in a second? And even if the people queuing on the scene were two, there were not more than 20,000 people, right?

How is this possible?

As if he knew his boss’s questions, the employee immediately explained: “Boss! There are many players who buy hundreds of copies, and the most one buys more than a thousand copies at one time! It’s simply incredible!”

When he heard this reply from his subordinate, Jester seemed to have thought of something and blurted out almost immediately.

"Are these people planning to resell invitations?"

After hearing this, the employee nodded in agreement and followed.

"We also think so, but we did not limit the amount that a person could buy before, and now it is not very good to limit it anyway. So..."

After hearing this, Jester waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If they resell, let them resell. It's better to resell the higher the price, the better. Think about it, if something that was originally worth more than 100 US dollars was directly slapped into 1,000 US dollars, and there were people scrambling to buy it, wouldn't this become a social hot spot? We can also take the opportunity to hype it up, but this method can only be used once. If you use it too much, it will cause players to dislike it. Then we apologize to the players and signal our previous negligence, so that these people can take advantage of it. This can also deepen the players' favorability for us."

The employee thought Jester was just joking, and he replied with a smile: "Boss, you're too whimsical, players are not fools, how can something worth more than 100 US dollars be sold for more than 1,000 US dollars? Based on my previous experience in buying concert tickets, it would be great to double or three times, and even so, there will still be many tickets that will fall into the hands of these people..."

Jester just smiled, he didn't say it explicitly, and just asked a simple question: "What if someone is doing this deliberately?"

Hearing Jester's words, the employee's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, then his eyebrows frowned again and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it good to do this?"

"Haha." Jester called out. He did not continue to talk to the employee and issued his order to expel him. "I'm just an example. By the way, go and ask me about the number counted in Los Angeles in the first hour, and then tell me."

In Nintendo's flagship store, Arakawa looked at the crowd of people still flying in the store, and saw one Nes after another selling, but he was not happy no matter what.

Originally, he was extremely excited after getting his first hour to sell 1,500 units. After all, this is a very amazing number, which also means that his efforts to restore the company and product image after the CES exhibition were not in vain. But just now, he received a report from his employees.

Mars Entertainment made the shit, and just to disgust his invitation letter, he sold more than 20,000 copies in one hour. When he just heard his subordinates report this number to him, he even directly scolded his subordinates for their classic Japanese national curse, because this number was absolutely impossible in his eyes.

But after his subordinates swore that they had confirmed the exact numbers repeatedly, Arakawa was completely unable to sit still.

If this number is true, then in this confrontation, they will be defeated again.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Arakawa dialed his father-in-law's phone number. An hour ago, he called his father-in-law through this phone to announce the good news, saying that our trial sale was very successful, and in the first hour, it sold an astonishing 1,500 units, and almost all those who bought it were praised by us.

Hiroshi Yamauchi was extremely happy after hearing this news, because it was his idea to add peripherals to FC and then release them in the United States. Now that Nes has benefited from his previous proposal, he will naturally be happy.

But now, Arakawa Mi called the phone again, but wanted to report such a frustrating and desperate news to his father-in-law, which was really hard to say for him.

Heaven and region were completely reversed almost in an instant.

The difference between 1,500 units per hour and more than 20,000 units per hour is too huge. What's more, they sell real game consoles, while Mars Entertainment is just a shitty trial sale invitation letter that deliberately made to disgust itself because the supply of goods was not in place.

For Mi Arakawa, the loss is really too cowardly. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
