Among her classmates, there were many people who played earlier than her, but she was the first to leave her name on the game console.

It also made her proud for a long time, knowing that her record had been broken by a classmate she didn't know from the same school, and she could only sigh at the record left by a classmate she didn't know.

Although Mars Entertainment has released many other games since then, Aishara's favorite is still "American Cubes", her biggest dream before was to be able to play this game in her dorm room or home, but the arcade machine is too expensive and it is too cost-effective to buy it home, and she has never put this idea into reality.

And just recently, when she was watching the news, she learned that Mars Entertainment had developed a home game console, and her favorite "American Cubes" would be released as the first game at the same time as the console.

The moment she heard the news, she was ecstatic.

Originally, she wanted to take leave to fly to Las Vegas to participate in the CES show, and wanted to experience whether playing "American Cubes" on Dreambox was as enjoyable as playing in the arcade for the first time, but she had a very important exam at the time, so this plan failed to happen, but immediately after the CES show, Mars Entertainment also broke the news that it would start trial sales on February 15th, and only those who purchased a trial sale invitation on February 7th were eligible to participate in the purchase.

Essara hadn't heard of the trial sale invitation, but that didn't prevent her from understanding what it was, it was like an admission ticket, and if she wanted to buy the Dreambox as soon as possible during the trial sale, she had to get the qualification to buy it in advance.

And this invitation is the qualification for that purchase.

So, Aishara drove from Georgia overnight, when she arrived in New York, it was not dawn, she followed the map that had been prepared long ago, and came directly to the flagship store of Mars Entertainment, she thought she had come early, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, there was a queue of at least hundreds of people at the scene, and after asking, I found out that in front of the queue, those who even set up tents, rushed over two days in advance.

These people are all fans of Mars Entertainment games without exception, and many of them are very similar to her experience, they all inadvertently played a Mars Entertainment game, and then they were attracted by this game and became their fans completely.

At the same time, Aishara made some unexpected discoveries, which were also a small surprise.

In this debut game, most people are looking forward to the same as her, that is, the "American Cubes" that once swept the United States, many people even came for this game, and even some people who were disdainful of video games before were all in love with video games because of the game "American Cubes".

And in a previous selection conducted by "GAME" magazine, which game is the best game, in the reply received, "American Cube" was elected first with a high vote, "PAM-MAN" ranked second with an obvious disadvantage, and the most amazing thing is that in the top ten list, Mars Entertainment's games were shortlisted for six, and "Avengers", which had not been released at the time of this selection, actually entered the top ten, ranking seventh.

After the official sale of the invitations, Aishara kept moving towards the store with the flow of people.

And a popular distribution staff member who was in charge of this sale event also showed them the appearance of the invitation, which was as delicate as in the TV commercial, like a work of art, at least for Aisara, she may not have seen it very clearly on TV before, but now after seeing the appearance of the invitation up close, this very medieval court-style invitation actually gave her a very thick sense of history.

For her, this invitation is not shoddy, and the seriousness in this detail has also given a good impression to many players present, including her, at least around her, looking at the exquisite invitation just displayed, they are all very happy, and even someone is constantly screaming this, so beautiful!

Mars Entertainment and Fengxing release preparations are very sufficient, with the experience of holding player trials in the previous few times, it is becoming more and more convenient for organizing such large-scale events, at least in the face of a large number of players waiting to buy invitations, Mars Entertainment has not the slightest panic and has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

Jester was alone in a café not far away, drinking coffee while watching the sale, he was quietly waiting for the return of the specific number of jù, but looking at this situation, the number of sales was obviously not ugly.

“Boss！”

More than an hour later, a popular employee hurriedly walked into the café, he first glanced up, confirmed the location of the person he was looking for, and then walked quickly to Jester's side, the employee had a look of surprise on his face, and his tone was even mixed with a trace of excitement that could not be concealed.

The moment Jester saw the employee's face, just from his excited look, he knew that in the first hour, his invitation must be a big seller, and it was a big sale far beyond Nintendo.

As Jester expected, the employee said in an extremely excited tone: "In the first hour, 23,000 copies!" ”

Hearing this number, Jester also stood up involuntarily, his face became a little flushed, and his two fists clenched together, when he saw the number of people in line before, he had his own premonition that this invitation event might sell well, but twenty-three thousand copies were sold in an hour, which was still too much beyond his expectations.

This number is too unreal.

This is only the number of sales in this flagship experience store in New York, not including the one in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is its home base, and the number of sales should not be less than that in New York.

You know, an hour is only 3,600 seconds, and Nintendo's ability to sell 1,500 units in an hour is already a very staggering number, which means that they can sell a NES game console in less than four seconds, so Jester was so depressed when he heard this number.

But 23,000 copies, this number, is inevitable......

Jester's brow furrowed after the excitement, the number gave him a sense of unreality, which meant that he was going to sell seven or eight invitations in a second? And even if there are more than 20,000 people queuing up at the scene, right?

How is this possible!

As if he knew his boss's question, the employee immediately explained: "BOSS! There are many players who buy hundreds of copies, and the most one buys more than a thousand copies at once! It's just incredible! ”

Hearing this reply from his subordinate, Jester, who seemed to have thought of something, blurted out almost immediately.

"These people are going to resell invitations, right?"

After hearing this, the employee nodded in agreement and accosted.

"That's what we thought too, but we didn't limit the amount one person could buy before, and now it's not good to suddenly limit it, so ......"

Jester waved his hand after hearing this, he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, let them resell it, it's best to resell it at as high a price as possible, think about it, if something that was originally more than a hundred dollars was directly fried into a thousand dollars, and some people are vying to buy it, then won't this become a social hot spot?" We can also take the opportunity to hype up, but this method can only be used once, and if we use it too much, it will cause the players to be disgusted, and then we will apologize to the players and show our previous negligence, so that these people have a chance to take advantage of it, which can also deepen the player's favor for us. ”

The employee thought that Jester was just joking, and he replied with a smile: "BOSS, you are too whimsical, players are not stupid, how can something that is more than a hundred dollars be sold for more than a thousand dollars, according to my previous experience in buying concert tickets, it would be very good to double or triple it, and even so, there will still be a lot of tickets that will be smashed in the hands of these people......"

Jester just smiled, he didn't say it explicitly, just simply asked, "What if someone is doing this on purpose?" ”

Hearing Jester's words, the employee's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and then his eyebrows furrowed again, and he muttered quietly, "It's not a big deal, right?" ”

"Haha." Jester snorted, he didn't continue to talk to the employee, and issued his own eviction order, "I'm just making an analogy, by the way, you go and help me ask the Los Angeles side to count the number in the first hour, and then come and tell me." ”

In Nintendo's flagship store, Minoru Arakawa watched the store still be full of customers, and saw one NES after another being sold, but he couldn't be happy anyway.

Originally, he was still very excited after getting his first 1,500 units of the NES sold in the first hour an hour ago, after all, this is a very staggering number, and it also represents that his efforts to save the company's and product image after the CES show have not been in vain, but just now, he also received a report from his employees.

Mars Entertainment did that shit, purely to disgust his own invitation, he sold more than 20,000 in an hour, and when he just heard his subordinates report this number to him, he even scolded his subordinates directly at their classic Japanese national scolding, because this number is absolutely impossible in his eyes.

But after his subordinates swore that it was the exact number that had been confirmed repeatedly, Minoru Arakawa couldn't sit still at all.

If this number is true, then in this encounter, they Nintendo is once again defeated.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Arakawa called his father-in-law, and an hour earlier, he called Guò to his father-in-law to report the good news, saying that our trial sale had been a success, selling an astonishing 1,500 units in the first hour, and that almost everyone who bought it was full of praise for our light guns.

Yamauchi Pu was also extremely happy after hearing this news, because it was his idea to add peripherals to FC and change it to NES and then release it in the United States, and now that NES has benefited from his previous proposal, he will naturally be happy.

And now, Minoru Arakawa dialed the phone again, but to report such a depressing and desperate news to his father-in-law, it was really a little difficult for him to speak.

Heaven and earth were completely reversed almost instantaneously.

The gap between 1,500 units per hour and more than 20,000 copies per hour is too huge, not to mention, they sell real game consoles, and Mars Entertainment is purely because the supply is not in place and deliberately makes the bullshit trial sale invitation to disgust itself.

For Minoru Arakawa, it was too much to lose. R1152
