Now, the estimated sales of 200,000 copies a week may not be able to achieve them, but it will not be able to satisfy them.

After all, with Jester's sentence in front, everyone's expectations are on the sales of one million points, and it is naturally difficult for many people to be excited about the current sales of 200,000 sales, which is only a preliminary estimate.

The most important thing is that even Jester himself, after learning that the half-day sales of "Diablo" were 30,000 copies, insisted that the sales of this game would definitely exceed one million, and even Jester immediately made a decision at that time that he would personally hold a celebration party for the "Diablo" development team on the weekend of the following week, that is, a week after the official release of "Diablo".

At the same time as Jester's decision, this matter also caused an uproar within the company.

A lot of people don't understand that it's true that a game that might sell 200,000 copies a week, and that's a pure PC game, is really good.

However, excellent is excellent, every year, there are still a lot of such games, Mars Entertainment, but I have never seen it, Jester has any special love for such games, many people think that this may be Jester in order to maintain his previous words that "Diablo" will definitely be able to sell millions of copies.

However, news soon came out again.

When Jester learned that Diablo sold only 30,000 copies in half a day, he even said with certainty that the total sales of this game would definitely reach one million units.

This makes many people feel that this must be Jester's inability to wipe his face and be holding on to himself.

Because anyone who knows anything about the gaming world knows that a game that may only sell 50,000 copies on the first day is too hard, too hard, too hard, to reach 1 million copies, unless, the game can sell for a long time!

But a long-selling game. It's all the kind of young-looking family entertainment or party-oriented games, such as "Diablo", a gothic, dark game, it is impossible for those parents to like it, they can't give such a game as a birthday or Boxing Day gift to their children, so, this kind of game, in general. The audience will be very small.

The main sales will be concentrated in the first week, and at most in a month.

This is Mars Entertainment, or some other game companies, have gone through a lot of Diablo games of the same style of investigation and collection, even if there is a mistake, then this error is also very small.

Therefore, it is possible that the forecast sales figure of 200,000 units a week will be skewed, and it may be less. It may be more, but a deviation of 2230,000 at most is remarkable.

And such a niche game that sold in the first week.

It's absolutely impossible to sell a million copies.

That's a conclusion anyone who knows anything about the industry, let alone Jester, the creator of a resurgence in video games. It's definitely a lot deeper than anyone else.

Although Jester's prediction of a game's sales has never been skewed.

However, people are human beings, and no one can guarantee that they will never be wrong. Just because you weren't wrong before doesn't mean you can't be wrong, and you won't be wrong now. It doesn't mean you won't be wrong in the future.

Not to mention such an illusory thing as prophecy and speculation.

Even if Jester guesses wrong once, it doesn't matter, and even to outsiders, it's a normal thing.

What's more, Diablo can reach more than 200,000 in the first week, 300,000 to 400,000 in a month, and then the total sales of 500,000 are already very amazing, and it also proves that this is a very good game, although it did not reach one million, but this is a new game after all, and it is still a newcomer, which can still prove that Jester's vision is very keen.

Moreover, it is very possible that the second game of this game will sell more than one million copies.

"Jester is finally going to be wrong again."

Not only the people inside Mars Entertainment, but even those outside Mars Entertainment think so.

"That's normal."

Some people understand this, after all, no one can always be right.

"It is said that Jester is still saying that Diablo will definitely sell a million copies!" In some other game companies, many people in the game media venue say this, and there is even some schadenfreude in the tone.

In the eyes of these people, for example, people from these other game companies, they all like to see Jester's mistakes, although it is harmless for Mars Entertainment, and for Jester itself, it can only be regarded as a dispensable after-dinner conversation, but this kind of thing to see Jester eat is very rare in the game industry.

And the reason why those media are like this is even simpler.

Because this matter is the best talking point, with this as the topic, I can even write ten or twenty articles of tens of thousands of words.

That's a rare thing.

After all, provoking authority is a thing that exists in any era, and seeing authority deflated is also something that everyone likes to see, Jester is the absolute authority in the video game world, and his prestige even exceeds the synthesis of others, if you have to take an analogy, then maybe Newton or Einstein in science is a better example.

Once such a person is deflated, naturally many people are willing to see it.

They don't have to be malicious.

It's just an attitude towards authority.

Jester is naturally aware of these things, but these people just know what they are and don't know why, and they don't know what the biggest basis for making Diablo sell millions of copies by themselves.

This kind of gothic dark-oriented game is indeed niche-oriented.

People who like this kind of game will like it very much, but if they don't like it, they will generally not be interested in this kind of game.

However, the reason why the Diablo-like game will have such a name as Diablo-like in the future, and it has also changed the pattern of the entire game world in a certain way, and even gave birth to the evolution and development of MMORPG, is naturally not something that a niche game can do.

That's because, this game has two very groundbreaking gameplay developments in the entire game industry, one is the well-known collection system of the Dark Game, and the other is one of the things that Blizzard can be successful in the future, that is, Battle.net, in the original history, Blizzard was the first game company to build such a thing as Battle.net.
