"Yamaguchi, is the sales data for half a month out?" Hironobu Sakaguchi asked his secretary.

"It's out!" The secretary nodded, then glanced at Hironobu Sakaguchi with some worry and fear.

"It seems that the sales are not good this time!" Hironobu Sakaguchi said with a frown.

"Actually, we still expected it, and the total sales are currently 52,000 cassettes!" The secretary whispered.

"It only sold 52,000 in half a month, and if nothing else, it seems that it will be difficult for the total sales to exceed 100,000 this year!" At this time, there are still 8 months before the end of the year, and Hironobu Sakaguchi directly asserted that the total sales will be difficult to exceed 100,000, which seems to be a bit arbitrary.

But this is actually a pattern that everyone in the industry is very familiar with.

If it's a normal game, then half a month's sales really can't decide anything.

But as a revised version of the game, the sales can basically be set in the first month.

Because of such a revised version of the game, only die-hard fans of the game will be interested in buying it, and most other players will not be interested in buying it.

Therefore, the sales of the game will also be concentrated in the first month, and if you want to increase a lot after that, it will be very difficult, almost impossible.

It's just that this time the sales of less than 100,000 are a little too low.

You know, the total sales of the FC version of "Final Fantasy 5" have reached 3.2 million copies, so according to previous experience, about 5% of players will be willing to buy the GB version, that is, the sales of the GB version, in fact, should be around 160,000.

But now it's hard to even 100,000, which makes Hironobu Sakaguchi a little difficult to accept.

"Can anyone give me an explanation?" Hironobu Sakaguchi asked with a dark face, he asked others to explain, and it won't be long before the board of directors asked him to explain, and Hironobu Sakaguchi was also in pain.

"Probably because of the recent hot light!" The secretary immediately found the object of the pot and said, "Those light ones are also on sale on May 1st, and the popularity has been quite high recently, and the people in the marketing department have already done market research, and found that there are indeed some players who originally wanted to buy Final Fantasy 5, but they had to give up because they had to spend money to buy light." ”

"Yaga!" Hironobu Sakaguchi scolded, and there was nothing he could do.

This Hironobu Sakaguchi has also heard of it, and in fact, he still has a copy of "Sword Art Online" in his house.

In fact, almost all people in the game industry now have a copy of "Sword Art Online" in their hands.

Because the idea of the game proposed in this book is so grandiose, it actually designed a game that can allow humans to dive into the dream world, which is almost a blow to these people in the game industry, and let them find that the original future games can still be played to this extent, which is really unimaginable!

Of course, Hironobu Sakaguchi only admired these wonderful ideas, and then had no other ideas.

After all, what kind of dream game,It's too sci-fi.,Maybe there can really be such an invention in the future.,But it's definitely impossible now.,At least Hironobu Sakaguchi feels that before he dies,,There will be no such game born.。

It is worth mentioning that in the original version of "Sword Art Online", because it was only released in 2009, there are many game concepts that go beyond the current era, including some new game types, which were directly deleted by Boss Jia, so as to avoid anyone really finding a trace of future ideas through this.

To get back to the point, after Hironobu Sakaguchi knew that Light was born, he knew that his game would definitely be affected, so in the end, this was the result, and it was also within the acceptable range of Hironobu Sakaguchi, so he didn't scold his mother uncontrollably.

Instead, after hesitating for a while, he asked, "There's a game called Pokemon, do you know how much he's selling?" ”

"Pokemon?" The secretary was stunned for a moment, he had obviously never heard of the name. So he first bowed to Hironobu Sakaguchi, said sorry, and then began to flip through the documents to find it, and finally reported to Hironobu Sakaguchi, "I found it, the total sales of Pokemon in the past two weeks are less than 1000, so there is no specific statistics, but it must be below 1000." ”

"Good! Good! Sakaguchi Hironobu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, he was still a little worried, after all, it was a game that got an 89-point rating from Nintendo's editorial department, Sakaguchi Hironobu regretted it very much after agreeing to the competition with the other party, in case the other party really went shit luck, sold more than 100,000 copies in a year, wouldn't he be dead!

But now, Hironobu Sakaguchi is comfortable.

Less than 1,000 copies were sold in half a month, so even if you can sell 1,000 copies every month, you will only sell 12,000 copies in a year, and it is impossible to compete with Final Fantasy.

Moreover, the sales of this Pokemon are so poor, so according to Nintendo's consistent urine nature, all products with unqualified sales will be lifted down as quickly as possible, and they will disappear without a trace, so as not to lose Nintendo's people.

So Hironobu Sakaguchi estimates that by next month, there may be no more Pokemon game cartridges on the market.

"Hahaha......" Thinking of this, Hironobu Sakaguchi's whole heart began to laugh wildly.

"No, I have to do something, or it's too uncomfortable to hold back!" Although Hironobu Sakaguchi was very happy, only him, Tajiri, and Tajiri's secretary knew about this matter.

Even if you win, it's just yourself, how to do it, you must let many people know that the rudeness of a certain bastard is also your own victory.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like brocade clothes at night!

So Hironobu Sakaguchi pondered for a while, so he asked someone to find someone from Famitsu magazine and said that he wanted to leak some news.

As soon as "Famitsu" heard it, they were worried that there was no news, so they immediately sent reporters over.

Of course, after meeting the reporter of "Famitsu", Hironobu Sakaguchi can't talk about the game directly, so wouldn't it seem that he is very cautious.

Anyway, now that Final Fantasy 6 has entered development, it's time to release a little news and do some preliminary warm-up, so that players can start to look forward to Final Fantasy 6.

These were all things that were supposed to be done, but Hironobu Sakaguchi simply got together and talked about Final Fantasy 6 at the beginning.

This made "Famitsu" like a treasure, and the two sides talked for a while, only to get a little news about the fog shroud, and Hironobu Sakaguchi kept his mouth shut about "Final Fantasy 6".

Although this made the magazine reporter a little regretful, it was all something to be prepared for. After all, Final Fantasy 6 may not be released until next year or even the year after, and it is obviously impossible for you to expect the game's producers to break too much news at this time.

Hironobu Sakaguchi can reveal a little bit of tone, and the next article will all rely on the reporter himself to talk nonsense and guess, anyway, guessing wrong is not illegal.

Just when the reporter thought that the interview was over and he could leave, Hironobu Sakaguchi suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of sales, I suddenly remembered that an interesting thing happened when I went to participate in the review of the GB version of Final Fantasy 5 a month ago. At that time, there was a young company with a big temper and a lot of momentum, and his tone was even more crazy......"

In the reporter's expression of digging into the treasure, Hironobu Sakaguchi told about the game between himself and Jia Yapeng.

————————————

"Tajiri-kun, I came to you today, you should know......" Facing Tajiri, Miyamoto Shigeru hid great uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't even dare to look directly at his former good friend.

"I know, I'm here to check out on the platform today, and it's already the 15th!" Tajiri nodded.

The 15th of each month is the day when Nintendo and the following official game platforms settle the bill.

On this day, Nintendo will transfer all the royalties from the previous month's game sales to a third-party company, and the third-party company will also pay the corresponding fee for the previous month's game cartridge burning.

And because the game was released on May 1st, it was naturally impossible to give any money to Tajiri on May 15th, but Tajiri needed to give Nintendo the burning fee of 1 million cartridges, a total of 1 billion yen.

This is the reason why Shigeru Miyamoto did not dare to look at Tajiri, everyone knows that the sales of Pokemon have not exceeded 1,000 copies until now, and it is impossible for the share to exceed 1.5 million yen at that time.

The 10000000000000 burning cost will completely ruin Tajiri's company.

"Well, according to the regulations, only need to pay us...... 10…… 1 billion yen in burning costs! Shigeru Miyamoto gritted his teeth and finished speaking.

Shigeru Miyamoto knew that once he started collecting debts, Tajiri would definitely not be able to pay this huge fee.

In the future, Tajiri, who can't pay this huge fee, will definitely try every means to beg for less payment or postpone payment.

And at this time, Shigeru Miyamoto will also take the opportunity to announce that because the sales are too bad, Pokemon will be taken off the shelves and give Tajiri the final blow.

Thinking of the desperate situation that Tajiri would face later, Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to kneel down and apologize to his good friend.

But no, but ......

"Okay! Here is a check for 1 billion yen, so let's count it among Miyamoto-kun! Tajiri said with a relaxed face.
