Chapter 133: A New Record
Although Yuji Horii has given a lot of things, when he really became famous, it was Dragon Quest 3 released today.
The release of this part, if there is no accident, will directly make Yuji Horii a god!
Become a figure whose influence is comparable to that of Shigeru Miyamoto!
Needless to say, Shigeru Miyamoto's status is needless to say, whether it is Japan or rice, they are all well-deserved firsts.
At least in those days, that was it!
A person who can be praised as reaching this height can imagine how powerful an existence is.
"Why are sales so high?" That's right, the sales of 700,000 an hour really scared Yuji Horii, if it was said that the data of three hours added up to so much, it would be understandable, but, the truth is not!
"We don't know, whatever, aren't you happy if the sales are good?" Haha!" Inoue Yuhiko didn't care, this sales volume had completely shocked him!
"Of course it......'s happy! I still think ...... It's a little weird, it's not that it's bad, it's too good!" Yuji Horii was of course happy, but he always felt as if something was wrong.
patted Yuji Horii on the shoulder, Yuhiko Inoue said with an incredulous face: "Horii-kun, I don't think it's really necessary to think so much, high sales, this is what many people dream of, what we are still doing now at the moment is to have a good carnival." ”
"Carnival? maybe......" Although Yuji Horii was still a little uneasy in his heart, he thought about it carefully and didn't find anything wrong.
"Moreover, this is only two hours ago, and I don't know how much it will be, but I estimate that if this continues, our sales today are likely to break the record, exceeding 3.5 million boxes! Once this sales volume is reached, Horii-kun, you will become an innovator in the sales record of the whole country! This is the glory of Super Nintendo!" Inoue Yuhiko was already so happy at this moment that the whole person danced a little.
"Don't say that, we are at most the first record break, if you want to compare with the sales myth of Super Mario, we are still far behind, Super Mario covers the age group, we can't match. Yuji Horii was not so arrogant and said with a wry smile.
These words also made Inoue Yuhiko feel like pouring cold water.
yes, that's right.
Dragon Quest 3, no matter from any point of view, if you want to compete with Super Mario, it is indeed difficult to say who wins and who loses.
It's just that from the data of Super Mario since its release, in the entire video game market, it has completely crushed other games, and this alone does not dare to say that it will definitely surpass Super Mario.
Even being able to match it is already an absolute compliment.
It's just a record, it doesn't mean anything.
It's not a total victory over Super Mario.
"Okay, let's go, let's go next, call the others, let's go to Enix's side, and wait for the glory that belongs to us!" Looking at Yuhiko Inoue, who was a little depressed, Yuji Horii could only hurriedly comfort him.
"Okay, I'll call the others. Inoue nodded hurriedly.
Afternoon.
The Dragon Quest 3 festival is still going on.
Although sales have been declining, everyone knows that this is a normal phenomenon.
With fans buying the game's cartridges, the rest of the cruising players won't be as fanatical as the fans to catch the festival in the first place.
However, it will not affect the behavior of cruising players to buy cartridges after staggering the peak.
Countless news outlets reported on the purchase of game cartridges by 10,000 people in the evening news.
"It's a big show! For many years, since the 70s, there has never been such a situation, and we can see from the shooting in China that countless people are rushing to various sales outlets, the roads are congested, the company is empty, and the school is on leave, which is really unbelievable. ”
"The game of the Great Japanese Kingdom has always been the world's standardized output center, and today, the great Japanese country has made another breakthrough in video games, according to incomplete statistics, in just one morning, it has sold more than 2 million boxes, which even Super Mario has not been able to do, it can be called a classic!"
"As a journalist for many years, I never thought that there would be a day to face such a game festival, millions of sales, in just two hours, this is an unprecedented grand occasion, this belongs to the era of games! Interestingly, when everyone still didn't know much about this game, there was a magazine that took the lead in recording the evaluation information of this game, and we can see that Dragon Quest in this five-star rating mechanism, it received a total of 4.8 stars from the total score, 2.1 stars for operation, 4.2 stars for the picture, 3.9 stars for the sound effect, and 4.7 stars for the plot, according to our observation, many players still recognize this score very much, and they like the evaluation inside very much, we can see that in this magazine I have in hand, here, there are actually some small strategies for this game, which is a very remarkable thing. ”
"First of all, I thought that this magazine called Miracle Entertainment, a magazine that I had never heard of before, had already been rated by players in the closed beta, and when the game was just released, there were some explanations of strategies, which is a very incredible thing, and you can imagine how this magazine will grow explosively next. Moreover, after trying it for the first time, the methods of obtaining the perfect character and the method of infinitely copying equipment mentioned in the magazine are also true, and it seems that clearing the customs is very simple!"
"Today, the much-anticipated Dragon Quest 3 has been launched, although there are bugs, but it is barely acceptable, but if this game is far superior to Super Mario, I think it is a bit arrogant, a game with loopholes, at best, it is almost the same as Super Mario. ”
"Maybe many people are paying attention to a magazine that suddenly came to the world, called Miracle Entertainment, and has been reading that there are evaluations and related information about Dragon Quest 3, but don't forget, this magazine also mentions the hidden cheats of this game about family members! You can get additional props in the store, and there are two other columns, which are serialized comics, and there is a corresponding, this is a martial arts from Huaxia called Dragon Sword and Heavenly Sword. The content has mysterious kung fu, and there is even a happy look at the weapons in the god soldier mode. And the comic style is also very unique, rough with some unique Chinese charm, very good-looking, highly recommended!"
"I think today is certainly a carnival of Dragon Quest RPG games, but we should also see that Super Mario is not a rising star that can be easily surpassed, so for some exaggerated claims, I personally am against it, as far as I know, these comments are all seen in this magazine, but I don't want to read the news about Dragon Quest now, anyway, there is a strategy, just take a look at it then. In comparison, I still like the comics inside. ”
......
Without warning, Miracle Entertainment, published by Miracle Times, was reported by major TV stations when they broadcast the news of Dragon Quest of the Moon.
And Li Fangcheng saw this scene, so he breathed a sigh of relief, this trip, on board!
As night fell, the madness began to dissipate, and the number of people sold every hour was decreasing.
At the headquarters of Enix, as 12 o'clock arrived, the whole company seemed to go crazy, making countless phone calls to check all kinds of data.
An hour later, in the office, the president and Tian Yang had already nested in the chair, and with the sound of a knock on the door, He Tian Yang quickly sat up right as if he had been activated.
"Come in. ”
"President, the sales of Dragon Quest 3 have all been counted. The assistant hurriedly walked up to Yoichi Wada and said.
"How many? How many cassettes are sold in a day. Yoichi Wada's voice was slightly excited, but he said a little uneasily.
His sales in the morning are very high, and even the media are scrambling to report on them, and those slogans that surpass Super Mario are just what makes him happy, but he also knows that the sales in the morning do not represent the sales of a day!
So I'm excited and a little worried.
"President, a total of 4.2 million boxes!!" the assistant said in a voice that was so excited that he almost shouted!
"4.2 million boxes...... 4.2 million boxes ...... Hahaha!"
"From now on, I'm going to see who dares to say that Enix's name is in vain. He Tian Yang smiled so much that tears came out, but no one could understand his mood at the moment.
Enix has always been called a leather bag company, and even if he always thinks it's the right thing to do, it's still easy to attract cold words.
Is it wrong to outsource the production business? This is a practice that reduces risk, what's wrong with doing so? No!
Do you have to get a part, invest countless manpower, material and financial resources, and keep developing games, expecting every game to be a good game?
There is a royalty system, and the risk of doing so is huge, just by looking at the companies that close down every year, you can imagine!
But in the eyes of many people, this way of project outsourcing is the positioning of a pimp!
How can he not be angry, how can he not be angry?
Today, the sales of 4.2 million boxes have set a record for the first sales in the entire Japanese country, and from now on, who dares to say that Enix is not worthy of Nintendo's second-party identity!
4.2 million, a terrible number, a figure that is one-fifth higher than the sales volume of 3.5 million boxes in history, and this achievement was achieved with the impetus of Li Fangcheng!
He Tian Yang smiled, and Li Fangcheng also smiled.
