The Flamingo-1 sold so well in RB that it was beyond Li Zetian's expectations, with a total of nearly 10 million units sold in November alone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When Nintendo released the FC console that year, although it was already very popular, it was not so exaggerated, and only sold more than 1.3 million units that month.

However, if you think about it, there is a reason why Flamingo-1 is so popular. Li Zetian and the Flamingo company are already well-known in RB, and the sales channels are much stronger than Nintendo's. In addition, when Nintendo released FC at that time, it came with three games: "Popeye", "Donkey Kong", and "Donkey Kong Jr.".

When Flamingo-1 was released, it had 11 games: Super Mario, Contra, Tank Wars, Double Dragon, Saloman Snake, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Super Arkanoid, and Chinese Cubes.

The difference between the two is too great!

The game itself is so classic, and there are so many of them, so it broke out completely crazy! Flamingo Inc.'s game hesitation was thrown into RB like an atomic bomb, causing an unprecedented huge sensation!

At the moment, USD/JPY is trading at about 1:250.

The Flamingo-1 console is priced at 50,000 yen ($200).

In November, Flamingo generated 500 billion yen ($2 billion) in revenue from game consoles alone

The Flamingo-1 console is not the most profitable, the game cartridge is the most profitable!

Each game cartridge sells for 7,500 yen ($30), with a total of nearly 80 million game cartridges sold, or 600 billion yen ($2.4 billion).

In addition, 10 million copies of the game novel were sold at 500 yen each, for a total of 5 billion yen ($20 million). RB people love to read manga, and the game manga sold 50 million copies at 1,250 yen each, for a total of 62.5 billion yen ($250 million).

Based on the above, according to the statistics, in November alone, Flamingo Company's revenue in RB reached a staggering 1,165 billion yen ($4.67 billion)!

The world was shocked that the Flamingo Company had achieved such a proud result!

Amazingly, this is just the RB market, there is a bigger US market waiting for Flamingo!

"Oh my God, Flamingo has activated the global game market, which used to be a multi-billion dollar market, but now it has become a tens of billions of dollars market, and Flamingo will occupy more than 90% of the game market share!"

Countless game development companies have sighed.

The scale of the ant factory is now getting bigger and bigger, and Li Zetian initially thought that the production capacity of 5 million was enough, but it was far from enough, and he had to recruit more people. There are many more game markets around the world waiting for Flamingo to explore!

Soon, the much-anticipated Black Friday arrived, the start of the Christmas Buying in the United States and the launch of Flamingo's consoles!

American gamers have long been looking forward to it, and many people have been lining up all night to buy game consoles in the morning!

The price of the Flamingo-1 console is not expensive, and the population of the United States is two or three times that of RB, so there are naturally a lot of users who buy it.

From 8 o'clock in the morning to 24 o'clock in the evening, the Flamingo-1 console recorded 2.5 million sales!

People can't describe it in words except shock.

The Flamingo-1 console is so hot that it is bound to counterattack the Atari 2600 in the US market.

In fact, it took only five days.

On the fifth day, Flamingo sold a total of 7 million units in the United States, while the total sales of the Atari 2600 in the United States had not yet reached 7 million units.

On the sixth day, another 590,000 Flamingo-1 consoles were sold.

On the seventh day, another 41 Flamingo-1 consoles were sold.

Looking at the set of data, all game companies are envious and jealous, and within a week, the sales of the Flamingo-1 reached a terrifying 8 million units! The vast majority of American families are buying the Flamingo-1 game console.

The Atari 2600 has apparently been thrown a few streets!

And the Flamingo-1 console, plus the sales of game cartridges, novels, and comics, Flamingo Company's revenue reached $3.8 billion.

With sales of $3.8 billion in North America alone in one week, Flamingo has created an unprecedented myth!

However, don't look at the sales are very large, but the Flamingo-1 console is almost unprofitable, sold at cost price, first occupies the market, and then makes money on game cartridges. In the future, with the improvement of the manufacturing process and the reduction of the price of spare parts, the Flamingo-1 game console will be able to bring profitability.

Apple.

Vincent Gay had a sad face and a depressed mood, he didn't expect the Flamingo to be so powerful and develop so many classic games, so that the Flamingo-1 console quickly defeated the Atari 2600 and became the overlord of the console.

The opponents that Apple will face in the future are simply too strong!

Vincent Gay wasn't even the slightest bit sure that Apple's console would beat the Flamingo-1 console......

It would be nice if Apple didn't have a console development project in the first place, but the project is already halfway through the way, and giving up halfway through it would cost Apple a lot of money. However, it may be an even bigger mistake to continue developing!

Vincent Gay was flustered and undecided.

Not long after, Thomas Rockefeller arrived.

"Mr. Rockefeller, Flamingo is too powerful, is Apple's console development project going ahead?" asked Vincent Gay.

Thomas Rockefeller frowned and said: "Of course it continues, Apple has invested so much money! What's more, the game console that Apple is currently developing uses the latest technology, so it is more advanced than the Flamingo-1, and thus has a certain competitiveness!"

In Thomas Rockefeller's view, if a console is powerful, players and third-party game developers will buy it.

Vincent Gay nodded, "Okay, Mr. Rockefeller, I've heard that Warner Bros. is planning to sell Sunbird ......."

"What's the price?"

"$2 billion!"

Thomas Rockefeller smiled contemptuously: "The Sunbird Company is obviously not good, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars at most! 2 billion dollars, I'm afraid no one wants to buy it!"

"Yes," said Vincent Gay with a laugh, "but it can't be helped, Warner Bros. can't recoup the cost if it doesn't sell so much." When they bought Sunbird, they spent more than $4 billion. ”

Yes, that's right, Warner Bros. is planning to sell Sunbird, and the board of directors has judged that Sunbird is no longer profitable for the company, and the sooner it sells, the better.

At this time, the Sunbird Company was panicked.

Wu Guangguang frowned, sat in the office, and was silent for a long time.

When Li Zetian founded the Flamingo Company, Nolan Bushnell didn't go when he jumped ship. In his opinion, Sunbird is already the industry hegemon, and with its monopoly position in the industry, Flamingo cannot beat Sunbird Company.

Staying in Sunbird Company, he is the CEO, the helmsman of the company, and if he wants to sleep with the secretary, he can sleep with the secretary, and no one dares to gossip. But when he went to the Flamingo Company, he had to look at Li Zetian's face, and he couldn't be a secretary, although he was nominally the CEO, but the company was still what Li Zetian said.

Wu Guangguang has become accustomed to giving orders by himself, although he was promoted by Li Zetian to be the CEO of Sunbird Company, but in the end he chose to betray him and work for Warner Bros. Company.

It's just that he never expected that in just over a year, Sunbird Company has fallen from the hegemony of the game, and now it has fallen to the end of being sold.

"I knew that today, I also went to join Chronos Li......" Wu Guangguang sighed, regretting it.

As soon as December passed, Li Zetian announced a news that shocked the game industry - the royalty system!

"In the Atari 2600 era, the market was flooded with a lot of garbage games and erotic ~~ erotic games. In order to ensure the quality of the game, all third-party game developers who want to develop on the Flamingo-1 console platform adopt a royalty system.

The royalty system stipulates that:

1. Flamingo shall review each game;

2. Third-party manufacturers are required to only release 5 games per year;

3. Third-party manufacturers need to predict the sales quantity of their own products, and then Flamingo will make game cartridges, and third-party manufacturers will not only have to pay production fees but also bear different amounts of royalties. ”

As soon as the news came out, the industry was in an uproar, and game companies expressed their dissatisfaction.

This approach is beneficial to the Flamingo Company, which has made quite a lot of profits under such rules and completely throws the risk to third-party manufacturers.

The Flamingo Company is simply arrogant! Overbearing!

At this time, in Nolan Bushnell's office, he frowned slightly, and said to Li Zetian, who was sitting leisurely drinking juice, "Mr. Li, are we doing this well?"

"What's so bad...... Li Zetian said disapprehantly, "Now we have the final say, if game companies want to make money, they must abide by our rules!

Of course, Li Zetian knew that the royalty system made the game company angry and resentful, and in the previous life, it was because of the resentment caused by tyranny that Nintendo buried hidden dangers, which led to the rise of Sony. However, Nintendo itself is also dead and has always adhered to the game cartridge, while Sony uses CDs as the game storage medium, which is more popular with players.

Nolan Bushnell's face still showed a trace of worry, and Li Zetian patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, they will compromise!"
