Chapter 337: The Lost Nintendo

With 3 million units sold on the first day and sales of 17 billion yen, if it really becomes a reality, then "Resident Evil" is destined to be recorded in the history of this game!

Not to mention 3 million sets, it is 2 million sets, which is enough to shock everyone in the game industry! A game that was released for the first time can achieve such a good performance, which has never been seen in the history of this game!

In Japan, the total sales of a game can exceed one million units, and that has proven that it is a pretty good game! Only a handful of games that can be counted on ten fingers, such as Dragon Quest Final Fantasy, can achieve this goal on the first release day of the game. And PS and Saturn, the two major consoles, have never had a game that has been able to sell more than a million copies on the first day since it came out!

If the sales can reach three million units on the first day, then as long as the quality of "Resident Evil" is not rubbish, then the total sales will reach ** million units, it is absolutely possible! ** million units, "Dragon Quest Final Fantasy", the most famous game in the game industry, its total sales are only like this!

Nakata Uda understands what a haode game means to a game console!

Yokoi Junhei stood in front of the window, looking at the basket sky and white clouds in the distance, today's weather is very good, although the sun is a little strong, but the breeze of Xi Xi blows, it does not make people feel hot. But this did not make Yokoi feel a little happy.

On the one hand, because the boiling anti-Yingtian "Resident Evil" that has been publicized by the media will be officially released today, on the way to the company, Yokoi Junhei has already noticed the long queues that appear on the road from time to time. Although it is said that there is a new work in the game industry, and it is a good thing to be able to achieve such a sensational effect, it is a very positive side for the game to resist the invasion of American games and expand the influence of the game in the whole Shijie. However, as a member of Nintendo, Gunhei Yokoi naturally did not want to see the GameStation company, which had already entered the camp of Sega Co., Ltd., continue to grow and develop! This undoubtedly threatened Nintendo's position in the Japanese market.

Today's Nintendo, in addition to the handheld market, has completely posed no threat to Sony and Sega Co., Ltd. in the home game console market, no one thought that Sony, which was originally going to jointly develop a new console with Nintendo, was kicked out by Nintendo, and the console launched with great efforts was actually able to succeed in one fell swoop, competing for the market with the old game console manufacturers. Nintendo, the market leader for a long time, has lost out in the home console market. This makes these old employees of Nintendo naturally a little unbearable!

On the other hand, it is because of the incompetence of a Gameboy game "Pokemon" that Nintendo has just launched.

"Since 1994, when the new generation of consoles such as Saturn and PS were released, large-capacity, high-quality next-generation games have become the center of discussion among players. Not only have GB's weekly and annual sales declined sharply, but so have software sales, which have fallen by nearly 50 percent!

However, the research and development of the new generation of consoles has fallen into difficulties, and it will not be able to be launched at all in a short period of time, and Nintendo is facing an unprecedented crisis!

Therefore, Nintendo has high hopes for the new game "Pokemon", hoping that it can reverse the current decline of GB and buy valuable development time for the development of a new generation of handhelds. However, after the release of the two versions of "Pokemon", only more than 100,000 sets of orders were received from various retailers, which was far from Nintendo's original goal of ~ annual sales of one million copies, which was really a difference between the world and Nintendo, which made Nintendo feel very disappointed.

However, there are only five games left in Nintendo's hands that have not yet been released, and whether these five games can change Nintendo's current predicament, Yokoi Junhei is not sure at all!

"Bang!" the office door slammed open and slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Yokoi Kuhei turned his head sharply in annoyance, he wanted to see who was so rude!

"Yokoi-kun! The release of "Resident Evil" has exceeded one million sets!" The person who came was Soichi Yamauchi, Nintendo's head of sales, and shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"What are you talking about? Say it again?" Gunpei Yokoi immediately cut through the anger in his heart, and came to the front of Soichi Yamauchi in a few steps. It's not that he didn't hear clearly, but he suspected that his ears were hallucinating! Although he thought that the sales of "Resident Evil" on the first day must be an extremely considerable amount, he couldn't believe that it was noon, and the first day of sales of "Resident Evil" exceeded one million copies!

"I said, the sale of 'Resident Evil' has exceeded one million copies!" Soichi Yamauchi repeated again.

"How is this possible?" said Yokoi in disbelief.

"Just now, the GammeStation company officially announced this number to the media, and the sales are still rising rapidly!" Yamauchi said solemnly, "I believe that the GammeStation company will never dare to fake this kind of thing!"

"Yaga!" Gunhei Yokoi couldn't help but blurt out. This is definitely not good news for him and Nintendo!

"Sega Co., Ltd. is definitely going to be happy this time! The success of "Resident Evil" will undoubtedly further widen the distance between Sega Co., Ltd. and Sony!" Soichi Yamauchi said hatefully. At the same time, my heart is also full of helplessness, once upon a time, the first place in the home game console market was exclusive to Nintendo. Watching Nintendo's subordinates defeat in the past, calling for wind and rain in the home game console market, that kind of helpless mood is really unbearable.

Although Yokoi Junhei did not speak, he nodded silently in his heart about Soichi Yamauchi's judgment.

Sega Co., Ltd., an opponent that has always been suppressed by Nintendo, will definitely soar to the sky now that it has this opportunity! If Nintendo wants to regain the throne that once belonged to him, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult!

"Hey, by the way, Yokoi-kun, do you see or don't see that "Fang"?" Yamauchi Soichi, who turned his head to leave, turned around and asked. !。
