Restocking in Japan is a must-do, and it is impossible for me to make such a hot market face the embarrassment of running out of stock during the Christmas period, but the sales of 1.1 million Gameboys on Christmas Day are really a miracle number, because so many supplies are impossible without advance preparation.

However, after Jester gathered a few logistics managers for some consultation, he realized that he was a little carried away by this huge sales figure, in fact, the reason why more than a million Gameboys were sold at Christmas was precisely because it was Christmas.

Officially, because of the need to give gifts to their children, relatives and friends on this day, there will be a centralized sales explosion, and after Christmas, a large decline in sales will be inevitable, and the decline will definitely not be 20% of the previous Jester prediction, but at least 50%.

Jester is still convinced by this assertion of professionals, and the most important thing is that even if he is not convinced, there is no way, because he is not likely to ship the number of Gameboys in the past one million units before the release tomorrow, but hundreds of thousands of units are extremely difficult.

On the phone, Jester contacted Guo who was far away, and Guo said that although he had an inventory of more than 700,000 units that had just been produced, he could contact a few transport planes at most temporarily, but the volume did not dare to guarantee that it was too much, that is, two or three hundred thousand units, and it could be guaranteed to be delivered before the official sale tomorrow.

Jester thought about it for a while, if he took off from California, it would take about ten hours to arrive in Japan, and if it went well, then it could still arrive before the official release tomorrow, but the volume he could contact was only two or three hundred thousand units.

The domestic unreality, even if it is your own face. It is also impossible to contact a large number of transport planes like in the United States, even if you pay more money yourself, it will not work, this is a political issue, not a transport issue, but it is now the case for the country.

In this way, a total of 600,000 units can be shipped to Japan tomorrow, but the cost of such freight will be extremely terrible, Jester is only a rough estimate, this trip, he will not be able to make money at all with 600,000 Gameboys. I even have to put a lot of it in.

However, there is no way to do this, some things, after the previous misjudgment, you have to find a way to remedy it, if you don't remedy it, it is likely to cause greater losses, at least in Jester's opinion, it is impossible to run out of stock during the Christmas period, even if it has to be broken. I also want to make sure that I do my best.

The sales scene in the U.S. is the same as in Japan.

It is completely different from the one-sided crushing sales of Gameboy in the Japanese game console market, in the Japanese market, not to mention the now outdated Nintendo FC, even if it is a PCE with a stronger function than Dreambox. Or the first MD console for sixteen-bit home consoles, which is not worth mentioning in the face of Gameboy's strong sales.

On the first day of sales, the sales of game consoles, Gameboy almost swept the world. After the sales of 1.1 million units a day were announced, not only was Jester surprised when he learned this number for the first time, according to rumors. When Yamauchi got the accurate news of this sales figure, he was so angry that he smashed everything in his room that could be smashed aside.

As for Hayao Nakayama, after hearing the news, he just sighed and did not react excessively, for him, MD's sales in North America are very good, and it is just an accident that it has not been done in Japan as well as in North America.

Among the sales on the first day of Christmas, in addition to the Gameboy 1.1 million to take the lead, other home game consoles can not match, Mars Entertainment's Dreambox sales are still ranked second, from the experience of the previous life, Jester knows that Japanese players are very loyal, and their love for a game console will last for a long time.

In third place, Sega's new console MD, the world's first sixteen home game consoles, with its unparalleled performance, as well as several new games they launched specifically for Christmas, also attracted a large number of players, and after seeing the demos of these new games, as well as the exquisite graphics of sixteen home game consoles, these players did not hesitate to take out the money in their hands.

Jester is not very familiar with these games, one of which is made by Suzuki Yu, the main style is an action game, you can choose multiple characters, but according to Jester's memory in his mind, he doesn't have the impression of this game, and in his memory, Suzuki Yu has never only made such a game.

This game,When Sega was just launched, he let people bring back the guò plane at the first time,And the first time to experience this new game with a few subordinates,To be honest,In the previous production of those games with a single core or a relatively short and fast game,Suzuki Yuomoto xiàn is very good,But in this kind of clearance,When you need to coordinate the entire plot of a large-scale game,In Jester's opinion,Suzuki Yu lacks a lot。

At least Jester didn't see in this game the kind of spirituality and traits that Suzuki Yu showed in the genre he was good at, which is actually the reason why later players analyzed why Suzuki Yu's and his team's painstaking "Shenmue" did not get the praise it deserved.

"If this game excludes the MD console, which is far stronger than our graphics processing ability, it can only be said to be average, but it is this powerful graphics ability that makes this game look better, but as far as I know, several of our design teams are also developing our sixteen-bit home console game, and the quality of the game is much better than that of Suzuki Yu's."

Pierce is the leader of the development team, and once participated in the construction of the entire game system as Jester's assistant when he was developing "Fire Emblem", but his favorite is still action games, and he doesn't like role-playing games much, so when he had the opportunity to lead the development team, he resolutely chose one that was interested in developing action games.

Later, because the game developed was excellent, both in sales and word of mouth, it was well received. Saini dropped it to the development team that was very good at developing action games when Mars Entertainment was just established, and now it has been officially renamed 'kinbg'.

Now Piergers is already the director of this development team, and the production of the previous "Avengers 3" was completed by him himself.

In a previous discussion, Jester found that Jacks had a very deep understanding of this type of game, and he even saw the limitations of this type of game in arcades.

And he also put forward very constructive views on how to carry forward this kind of game on home consoles in the future.

Therefore, his comments on the first time to engage in the development of this type of game Yu Suzuki are still very valuable, the present are very experienced designers of various genres, their understanding of action games may not be as deep as Pigers, but they can all see that this game, in terms of the pure essence of the game content and the game experience that deducts the sensory stimulation brought by the graphics and sound effects, is good.

Jester is also convinced.

However, he remembered that Pigers had recently completed "Avengers 3" and the entire development team was on a pleasant long vacation, so he still didn't know what the oldest design team in Mars Entertainment had to think next. Saini's relationship, focusing on the development team, I think it's all about Mark. Seni is in charge.

"Let's not talk about Yuzu Suzuki's game, it's just that he has no experience in this type of game, but in the type of game he is good at, there are almost no others in our company who can compare to him...... By the way, Piges, what do you think next, it is said that Mark. Saini is also interested in playing games on a sixteen-bit machine? ”

Jester asked with a smile, in fact, he didn't think it was a wise decision to develop this kind of game on Dreambox2, it would take a lot of effort to make a game of this type, and because this game genre is not a best-selling genre, the sales are not high.

For now, even if the home console port version of "Avengers 3" is released, this game, which has been praised by many arcade players as a sequel to "Avengers", is unlikely to get the sales of "Avengers" on the new console platform.

Not because it's not good enough, but because times have changed.

Hearing Jester's inquiry, Piergers smiled, he touched his head, and said simply: "It's true that I have some ideas, but I'm not very mature." (To be continued......)
