Chapter 612 - Sales That Shut Up

Under the attention of all parties, "Pokémon" was finally released, and as Ji Kong said before, two versions of red and green were directly released. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the official news, there is no difference between the two versions in terms of plot experience, and the only difference is that the limited elves are different.

This is simply a naked robbery of money, many people are already waiting to see the joke, in their opinion, Ji Kong must pay the price for his previous arrogant speech, after all, the hearts of the houses are delicate and sensitive, like Ji Kong's previous arrogant speech, it is easy to be disgusted.

However, they don't know that now Jikong has formed an effect, an effect called 'Produced by Mr. Kong, it must be a high-quality product'.

Ji Kong's previous works, whether it is "Sword Art Online", "One Piece", or "school_days", are all top boutiques that can win the top in various industries, which makes consumers have a kind of confidence in him.

Just like Hiroyuki Sawano in his previous life, as long as he sees that a certain anime was composed by him, regardless of the quality of the anime, there will be a large group of people shouting 'hegemony reservation'.

This is the effect of celebrity, which can also be called aura.

Today's Ji Kong has such an aura, not to mention that he can be called a model worker in the ACG world, and he has never delayed updating more than three works at the same time, this kind of dedication is admirable, and many people say that even if the quality of "Pokémon" is average, they will buy it and collect it.

It was against this background that Pokémon was finally released.

In just one week, the major physical stores are almost out of stock, and although there is basically no such thing as a game cartridge being out of stock, enthusiastic consumers often buy out of stock in physical stores in a short period of time.

And when the physical store is urgently restocked, players who can't wait have to buy the digital version as a last resort.

Compared to the game cartridge, the digital version has its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the digital version is that you don't have to wait in line at the physical store, you only need to download it online and play it directly, which is convenient and fast, and after binding the host ID, you don't have to worry about the game dropping.

But the disadvantages are just as obvious.

First of all, if you are tired of playing with the digital version, it is very inconvenient to deal with it second-hand in all senses.

Secondly, and most importantly, the digital version is not collectible!

This is the most important point, as this is the first generation of Pokémon, and the physical packaging comes with a limited-edition giveaway; At the same time, this is also the first orthodox game work of Mr. Kong, so the collection value of the game cartridge is very high.

If the quality of the game is average, it doesn't matter, but the game quality of Pokémon is very high, so those who buy the digital version, I'm afraid that more than 50% of them will still buy the cassette version.

In just one week, Pokémon has taken the gaming world by storm.

Although this is the age of VR gaming, handheld games will always have the advantage that console games and PC games can't shake, and that is that they can be played anytime, anywhere!

Workers can play while riding the subway, and students can play during recess, but console games obviously can't.

Not to mention that Japan is a fast-paced country, and busy people simply don't have much time to stay at home and play games.

So VR games are great, but how can they compete with handheld games if they don't even have the time to play?

Therefore, console games and handheld games are like two non-invasive fields, and there is no way to say that because console games have developed into the VR era, handheld games will be eliminated.

Unless one day VR games can be played anytime, anywhere like handheld games, then handheld games may be truly threatened.

What's more, the most important thing about a game is gameplay after all.

For example, the widely anticipated "Resident Evil 7", which did not break one million sales before the season crossed, but the pixel-style "Minecraft", with its excellent gameplay, topped the single game sales list with 140 million sales.

Although VR games in this life are much more mature, VR games still have a long way to go before they reach the 'full immersion' of Sword Art Online.

The advantage of "Pokémon" is the gameplay, and it is very playable, unlike some games, which make it difficult for people to pick up after clearing the level.

In fact, the biggest charm of "Pokémon" is the rich gameplay after it has been cleared.

One day after the game's release, the famous Japanese game magazine "Famitsu" gave it a rating: 40 out of 40, directly entering the platinum palace!

This is the 15th game to receive a perfect score after 14 games such as "Zelda", "Monster Hunter", and "Super Mario".

The editor-in-chief of Famitsu magazine, Koichi Hamamura, personally wrote a comment for him:

[This is a game full of freshness,Novel world view,Rich game elements are the charm of this game,Its complex game data is full of imagination,It is said that these data are set by Mr. Sora himself?] It's unbelievable. All in all, it's a magical piece that never seems to get bored, even though I've only been playing it for a day...... Without further ado, I'm going to hatch the eggs. 】

Famitsu is the most authoritative game review magazine in Japan and Asia, and its ratings immediately caused a sensation in the gaming industry.

Players who were still waiting to see bought it one after another, and then because of the high quality of the game and the good communication and battle environment, they recommended it to their friends.

Under such a 'domino effect', the sales of "Pokémon" showed an explosive trend for a while!

In just one week, Pokémon's sales exceeded the 400W mark!

This sales even surprised Ji Kong, you must know that the total sales of normal games exceeded one million, which is already good (the total sales of Zhen San7 are 1.34 million), and the first week of sales of "Pokemon" in the previous life is not clear, but it has not reached this level.

Later, after contacting Nintendo's president Tatsumi Kimishima, he learned that it was the Chinese market that had made a force.

After all, Ji Kong is a Chinese, so even if he is in Japan now, in the eyes of the Chinese people, this is also his own country's game, plus Huaxia is the world's largest country in terms of population, and in this life, he attaches great importance to copyright and has a developed economy, so "Pokémon" sold crazy in China, and its sales were higher than those in Japan.

For a while, Ji Kong was also emotional, as a person who had crossed over, he understood the embarrassing position of "Pokemon" in the Chinese market in his previous life.

The '7+1' petition that shook the game world and even made people cry Ji Kong also participated in it (Note 1), and only he knew how complicated his feelings were at that time, but he didn't expect that now Huaxia has become the largest market for "Pokémon", which can really be said to be a trick.

But anyway, "Pokémon" is really popular, although it is not sure if it can reach the level of "Super Mario", but at least those who once mocked Ji Kong have now shut up!

PS. Before the release of "Pokemon Sun and Moon", even if "Pokemon" has seven Chinese, there is still no official Chinese version.

Therefore, many people who love "Pokemon" in China spontaneously organized themselves and asked Nintendo to publish a Chinese version on the basis of the seven Chinese languages, which is the 7+1 petition.
