The game, which was boycotted by housewives and mothers, actually had a day to turn over. "Endless Fantasy" is like an outlier, spread by word of mouth among mothers, and bought by mothers who hold the power of the family's finances......

Accurate sales figures in the short term can't even be obtained by Nintendo itself.

Therefore, Takahashi did not pay too much attention to the sales of "Endless Fantasy", but focused his experience on another money-making point - the periphery.

Bandai, which is one word different from 10,000 households, is the big guy who sells the periphery.

Although Takahashi didn't want Manhu to be like Bandai, he had to buy it. But why not make money around it?

It's not that Wanhu hasn't engaged in peripheral products before, but he hasn't sold them separately. It's just a scene inside the claw machine.

After all, all the arcade games I did before were more popular features, and there were not no people who would buy arcade peripherals, but very few. There is so little that there is no value for commercial development.

Home console games are different, home consoles have a longer contact with the player, and it is easier to develop feelings, and role-playing games can also deepen people's feelings for games at this point.

People are often willing to invest more irrational money in things that are emotionally invested.

Otherwise, the fans, clothes, and stickers for idol performances will not be sold so easily.

Therefore, Takahashi also wants to take advantage of the opportunity when "Endless Fantasy" enters the red and white machine to sell "Endless Fantasy" peripheral products.

Takahashi put down the card in his hand, swept his eyes over the poster next to him, and finally picked up the doll of the representative monster slime in the game, pinched it twice and asked, "Have you checked the quality of the doll?" I don't want the doll to be prone to quality problems such as opening the line and revealing cotton. ”

"It's all checked. Li Fu, who is responsible for the production of surrounding puppets, said.

Compared to the printing of cards and posters, the production of puppets is more labor-intensive. Takahashi is also a capitalist no matter how he says it. Reducing costs and increasing profits is the consistent urine nature of capitalists.

With the resources of Chinese mainland, it is not necessary to be absolutely stupid. Thus, this batch of puppets was actually sketches sketched by Takahashi, designed and produced at a state-owned factory in China.

Not enough flannel on the outside, although domestic raw material suppliers are striving to use domestic flannel. It's just that although it's cheap, the quality is still not good. It is too easy to pill and get dirty, and the last choice is the flannel cloth of the book, but the cotton in it is made of cotton from Xinjiang.

"Well, always remember. Any product represents the face of ten thousand households. "Takahashi feels really good when he puts it down, and it can also be used as a pillow, a slime puppet as a pillow.

The secretary trotted in from outside the door and whispered, "President, the results of the magazine vote have been counted." ”

Takahashi followed the secretary to the conference room, where there were not only the executive editor-in-chief of "Gamer's Heart" Yaxing Kohashi, but also the project leader of "Endless Sea" and the former president of the computer club of Tokyo University of Electro-Tech - Nobutaka Nakamura.

The two of them were originally talking and laughing, but when they saw Takahashi coming in, they immediately shut up. However, the expressions on their faces still have a feeling of "happy eyebrows".

"I've kept you waiting. Takahashi sat down and said, "You have all read the voting results of the magazine?

Hearing Takahashi's words, the irrepressible joy of the two began to dissipate.

"There are three red and white machine games that were released at the same time as "Endless Fantasy". Counting the previous periods, there are only ten games that participated in the vote. "Player's Heart" is the main battlefield of our ten thousand households, and I don't think there is anything to be happy about "Endless Sea" winning the first place in the questionnaire. ”

"Yes! I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry!"

The two said that they listened to Takahashi's criticism, looked at Takahashi's face, and immediately got up from their chairs, bowed and apologized.

Takahashi saw the two people apologizing, and did not sit there with peace of mind to accept it. Instead, he stood up and helped the two bowed men to their feet.

"I'm not having a problem with the two of you, or that this event isn't worth celebrating. It's that I think we're too optimistic right now. If you are too optimistic, you will think about everything in the best direction, and if it is really the best outcome, then it will be fine, but what if something goes wrong? Is optimism useful? Optimism is not. Optimism only keeps us busy.

Okay, sit down, I think you've all calmed down. I'm going to tell you what I found out about it, and I'd like to ask you two what they think. Takahashi sat down, took out a letter from his pocket, opened the envelope that had been opened again, and unfolded the letter to read.

"Takahashi celebrity, I'm your loyal fan.

Your new game, Endless Fantasy, is a lot of fun and I had a lot of fun. However, there is one thing related to Endless Fantasy that is bothering me......

My mom used to play games almost never before, but the other day I don't know where she heard about Endless Fantasy, she actually bought one for herself and played it at home. I've only bought three cartridges with my own savings, and the rest of the games are borrowed.

Since my mom played the game you made, she doesn't cook or clean the house every day. Even, I called my classmates' mothers every day to discuss the plot.

My dad and I couldn't take it anymore, and we heard that there was a new school in Nara to get rid of video game addiction, and we wanted to send our mom there......

What should I do, I'm so confused......"

"I wonder what you two think?" Takahashi asked, placing the letter on the table.

"I think it's a good thing. "You once said that my mother is one of the most important parts of the family. Whoever masters the mother will master the home machine market. Now the situation is as you said, the mother who is in control of the finances is crazy and obsessed with "The Endless Sea", which is a very big plus. ”

"I don't agree!" "Nakamura, you only see the good side, don't you see that the child and father in the letter plan to send their mother to a school to quit video game addiction? I think this is a crisis! If they really send their mother to that kind of school, it will cause a huge blow to the reputation of Wanhu if someone who is interested in reporting it again." ”

Nobutaka Nakamura heard Kobashi's words and fell silent.

Although he didn't understand the propaganda thing, he had seen it, and when he hadn't joined Wanhu, he knew that Wanhu had a hand in publicity. As an important part of the propaganda department of Wanhu Election, Xiao Qiao Yaxing must have a reason for saying this.

"But...... What should we do? Just make people think that the games we only make are mental poisons?
