840 [That's $100 million]

Kowloon Games, Inc. The novel product launch was launched without any questions and answers from reporters, which allowed reporters and dealers to play games, and as a result, conquered all the guests in one fell swoop!

The whole gaming world can't help but be a sensation!

Its genius creativity has left everyone jaw-dropping!

The next day, "Mario" and "Contra", were released worldwide, because, before that, the goods had already been laid. As long as the dealer takes the money, it will be available locally.

Early in the morning, there were queues of tens of meters outside the major stores, causing countless players to rush to buy!

The reputation of "Xiangjiang Cube" is very good, attracting countless players.

Among them, the Mario and Contra versions were the hottest sales, selling 100,000 units on the same day.

caused a shock in the industry, you know, the current Atari 2600, the new game console. It took nearly a year to sell for about 400,000!!

※※※

That same evening.

Kowloon Games held a new press conference, and all game companies were shocked when the sales volume was announced!

Although they speculated that the new game of Kowloon Games would be very popular, they never expected it to be so popular!

In fact!

This is an unexpected and reasonable thing.

There are very few games in this era, and they are rubbish, yes, they are rubbish!

Imagine that.

A big company like Atari and a simple and crude game such as a ping-pong console developed by Big Brother around the world can take the world by storm!!

Not to mention the epoch-making "Mario" and "Contra...... This phenomenal game!

Occur.

In another time and space, Nintendo's various versions of the "Mario" game sold more than 100 million copies, and Xu Wenhui's arcade data was not so surprising.

At this moment, as Xu Wenhui's woman, the women also received the news.

At home, everyone seemed to want to penetrate his heart, to see if it was really as plain as the expression on his face.

Looking at the marketing department, the sales data of the "Mario Brothers" arcade machine that had just been counted, Zhong Chuhong and all the women couldn't imagine it.

100,000 units, what a gripping number.

At the current ex-factory price, Kowloon Games Company completed sales of $100 million in just one day.

That's $100 million!

But Xu Wenhui acted like he didn't care.

The women looked at him, threw a piece of A4 paper on the table, and never looked at it again, and they wanted to rush up and yell at him.

That's $100 million!

※※※

Xu Wenhui actually had a small fluctuation in his heart, but he already had a psychological prediction, so he was not too excited.

I just celebrated with the girls.

From the beginning of the release, the sales momentum of the Little Overlord console, Contra, and Mario began to grow explosively!

And its distribution channels have been further expanded.

Basically, retail giants have opened up special counters for customers to experience and try before buying.

And the simple Xiaobawang game console hardware.

In fact, its profits are average.

The focus is still on the game, which can be simply understood as the more games it launches, the more it earns.

But.

The model of opening the hardware platform of Xiaobawang game console and authorizing a third-party development company to produce games, Xu Wenhui's operation model, is not planned to be implemented for the time being.

In order to control costs and ensure profit margins, game manufacturers in island countries are not blindly pursuing the most advanced technology.

Although Xu Wenhui is not a professional in the industry, he probably remembers.

In another time and space of 83, Nintendo launched an FC game console that also uses 8-bit CPU as the Atari 2600, which is a clear example!

Of course, the success of this FC in the market also shows that there is some truth to this approach.

Therefore.

Now, in the field of video games in the island country, there are great talents such as Shigeru Miyamoto, and it is absolutely crushed by technology!

But the island people's take-it-or-leave-it-or-leave-it-ism is also very strong compared to Huaxia!

Xu Wenhui is clear, so he will not engage in open licensing in the short term.

And.

Xu Wenhui remembers that in another time and space, Nintendo's open hardware platform is very strategic.

In order to guarantee the quality of the software.

It is also to avoid a repeat of the tragedy of the collapse of Atari, when Nintendo created the royalty system, which is now six years later!

That is, third-party game developers, in addition to purchasing a high-value development platform, also need to pay royalties according to the sales situation.

Xu Wenhui remembers that this method brought Nintendo huge profits!!

Because of the success of Nintendo's plan, since then, Sega, Sony, etc., all game console manufacturers have followed suit and adopted a royalty system.

Although this experience has been very successful, Xu Wenhui still does not plan to adopt it immediately.

Xu Wenhui continued to let Shigeru Miyamoto expand the scale of the development department of the game company, but now it is still too small and too little, and it does not match the company's sales.

The island country has abundant resources for game development and production.

In Xu Wenhui's view, the reason why its game industry is so prosperous is not only due to its own traditional factors, but also because of the special situation after World War II.

Xu Wenhui remembered that the alliance occupied the islands of the island nation, and the American garrison alone once exceeded 100,000.

As we all know, at that time, the soldiers of the island country were the most unwilling to be lonely, and their purses were also bulging, so they naturally had to have all kinds of fun.

In addition to the scourge of island women.

The islanders have come up with a solution, and that is the game!!

One of the earliest games was the coin-operated jukebox, and many companies made money from American soldiers.

In this respect.

The people of the island nation are very talented in making games and pleasing people.

Under the instructions of Xu Wenhui.

Shigeru Miyamoto, make full use of the money he just earned, and most of it will be used for the establishment and expansion of the development department-

At this time, the media was the first to blow up!

Because of the time difference.

Next.

The Los Angeles Times said, "Hey, if you're a veteran gamer, well, what I'm going to tell you is that you don't know about Atari or Nintendo, maybe even Kowloon Games, but you can't know about Xiangjiang Cubes, Mario and Contra!!!

The New York Daily News said: "Kowloon Games' new game shocking hit, "Mario" and "Contra"! sold 100,000 units a day, becoming the hottest game !! the world has ever made after "Xiangjiang Cube"

When a gamer was interviewed by an ABC TV reporter, he said excitedly: "This game developed by Kowloon Games has created a new game mode, and in my experience, it is definitely a milestone in the history of world games! I used to play "Xiangjiang Cube", and I was already deeply fascinated by it at that time, but when I played "Mario" and "Contra"!, I realized that I was not fascinated enough at that time......
