Back To 1995: Chapter 381 out of stock

  Chapter 381 out of stock

   "Diablo, oh, of course I know, I've heard of it, I know this is the most popular game among young people in America recently, I will try it, this is a new way of entertainment for young people..."

   On the TV station news, there is an interview segment being played. It is the interview that the current grand commander met in San Jose when he went to California to canvass votes. That day was the day when "Diablo" was released for a week and sold more than one million copies worldwide.

  The reporter interviewed, of course, had the brand of ICNC TV station. Of course, this was deliberately planned by Xueleshan Company.

  The commander-in-chief is also willing to cooperate. On the one hand, getting funds for the campaign office is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also shows his attitude towards young people in America. He is willing to mingle with the new generation of young people.

   "Boss, do you still want to report the news of "Diablo"?"

CNN, the head of news, asked Jeffrey Zucker, the president of CNN. During this period, CNN, like the major American TV stations, has been busy with the news of the general election, constantly doing polls and News of several candidates.

  But CNN TV station also reported news about its future competitor, another company under the sponsorship of ICNC TV station.

   But who would have imagined that just after being ridiculed by CNN, "Diablo" would make Blizzard's parent company, Sierra, the next Atari, and make Song Yang, an Internet upstart, encounter Waterloo.

However, from the second day after the CNN report, "Diablo" began to counterattack all the way. Not only did the single-day sales not decline, but instead increased against the trend. The daily sales soared to more than 200,000 sets. This is the highest in the history of American games. None have ever appeared!

Now it's CNN's turn to be embarrassed. A few days ago, it was reported that Xuele Mountain couldn't bear it anymore. Turning around, "Diablo" sold 1 million sets in a week, and it raked in 6,000 Wanmei Knife!

  Now the entire American game industry is crazy about "Diablo", and the media in the major game industries are touting Blizzard for breaking the monopoly of Japanese game manufacturers in the North American continent!

  Jeffrey Zucker glanced at the news director, and began to think about whether to change to a less blind director. At this time, reporting to "Diablo" would be of no use other than providing heat to the other party?

"When is it that CNN should pay attention not to the general election, but to an irrelevant small game company. This is the purpose of the establishment of CNN TV station?!" Jeffrey Zucker asked the supervisor angrily .

  CNN is no longer reporting the news of "Diablo", but the popularity of Diablo has not diminished, but intensified.

   "Blizzard created a new era of games. It gave the game industry the right to speak, from Japan to America. Diablo created the era of ARPG games and online games!"

  As a die-hard media supporter, "Wired" magazine praised Song Yang's side, but it was never shabby, and directly defined the two concepts of ARPG and online games in the name of Blizzard.

   "Diablo continues to heat up in America and overseas markets, with sales exceeding 200,000 sets in a single day, and it is expected to continue to sell well in the future. Blizzard has set a new record for sales of one million sets in the first week!"

  Silicon Valley media, the Oakland Tribune, also praised Diablo.

   "Not only the sales of games, Xueleshan Online, which provides Diablo users with the "Battle.net" game platform, has more than four million downloads worldwide, making it the fastest growing website this year.

  Xue Leshan online platform not only provides players with a multiplayer battle mode, but also provides more than 1,700 downloadable games. In the future, this may become one of the most important sales channels in the game industry! "

  San Francisco Technology News, a Silicon Valley media, paid attention to Sierra Online. The development of Sierra Online by pulling people's heads is even faster. In just one week, the number of downloads exceeded 4 million.

Compared with the sales of one million sets of games, this has shocked the entire Silicon Valley companies. You must know that the popularity of a game will always decline, but having a channel and platform is equivalent to owning a game. Millions of "regular" users, this is the scariest thing. The Internet companies in Silicon Valley have "seen" the purpose of Xueleshan's online game platform, which is to occupy the PC game market!

   "Affected by Diablo's hot sales, and the network demand of the Xueleshan online platform, America Telecom's broadband business has ushered in explosive growth in the past week. So far, the number of users has increased by more than 78,000 within a week!"

Diablo's ability to bring goods is somewhat beyond the expectations of the outside world. Not only has the sales skyrocketed, but the number of online downloads on the battle platform Snow Leshan has soared, and even America Online, which provides network services, and broadband users have begun to soar. The impact of a game is somewhat beyond the expectations of the outside world.

Who would have imagined that American Telecom tried so hard to get users to accept broadband, but because of the demand for a game, the broadband business soared, especially in the large cities of America, which required broadband calls, drifting toward America Telecom like a snowflake. past.

Diablo has the ability to bring goods, but it’s more than that. As a console partner, Sony’s PS console sales have also begun to increase suddenly, especially in Europe and North America. As Diablo’s cooperative game console, Sony’s PS game console, The single-day sales volume has also hit a new high since the launch of the sale, which even Sony did not expect!

  The hot sales in the first week made the outside world start to focus on "Diablo", to see if it was a flash in the pan, or if it really wanted to set a new record in game sales history.

  IGN, GameStop, Yahoo! Entertainment Channel, game groups on ICQ, etc., as long as the game-related places were quickly swept by "Diablo" within a few days, the popularity continued to increase.

  In the second week of its release, without any surprises, "Diablo" once again swept the sales of 200,000 sets around the world, and Xueleshan reached sales agreements with agents in more regions around the world.

Huaguo's sales agency rights were handed over to Ogilvy Electronics, which was just established this year, and Lianbang Software, the former owner of the founder of 8848, while online sales were handed over to 8848 and Ying Haiwei. "Diablo" began to fully Enter the domestic market.

   Not only domestic, "Diablo"

   It has also begun to be sold in other parts of the world. Bangzi, Siam, Baodao, Hong Kong City, Singapore, the Middle East, South America and other regions, Diablo discs from the Sierra Mountain warehouse have also been pulled over.

"The sales of Diablo may far exceed the expectations of the outside world. Today, in some game retail stores in Chicago, the Diablo has begun to be out of stock. Some experts and analysts in the game industry predict the sales of Diablo in the first month. , possibly a staggering four million units, and perhaps hold back Diablo, only its production capacity…”

  On the Chicago TV station, players started to line up in front of a game retail store. Diablo became very popular. As time went by, not only did it not go out, but it became more and more popular, and even started to be out of stock.

   "Diablo's sales this month can already fill 7,899 Cadillacs, or fill the refrigerator at Sierra President Ken Williams' home 3,567 times!

The packing boxes of all Diablo game discs sold this month are stacked, the length is enough to connect the earth to the International Space Station for a round trip, and it is also equal to the length of 4.37 million bacons. All the physical versions of this month The total weight of the game disc is equivalent to 550 male narwhals or 875 female narwhals.

   It may also be equal to 8262 gamers who are overweight, or, need a cash transport truck to help Sierra to transport 236 million dollars to the bank vault! "

  On NBC TV station, during the evening prime news time, the host of the show is teasing "Diablo", and of course he is also promoting to the outside world, the records created by Diablo this month.

Behind the background of the news, there is a picture of Sierra holding a celebration at the headquarters in San Jose where the sales volume exceeded 4 million. Beautiful knives fell from the banquet. The sales volume of Diablo in the first month exceeded 4 million, and the revenue exceeded 200 million. Thirty-six million, these are new records in the American game industry!

Cameron passed by the streets of Chicago and saw a long queue in front of Thomas's small game store. On the IGN forum, he saw a lot of people saying that "Diablo" was out of stock, but there was no news. Thinking about it, even Thomas's small shop had a long queue one day.

Seeing this scene, Cameron couldn't help but rejoice that he bought it early, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy it now even if he added more money. The number of user downloads of Leshan Online has exceeded 15 million. Cameron's friends and players have long been dragged to register for Xueleshan Online.

After walking a few steps, he saw two or three big bosses walking towards him. Looking at the gang logos on several people, Cameron couldn't help feeling nervous. He didn't expect that in broad daylight, these people would dare to Going crazy, Cameron couldn't help looking around, trying to find a way to escape, and was going to hide in Thomas' game store first.

But who knew, before Cameron got oiled on the soles of his feet, three big bosses walked up to Cameron mysteriously, and the three surrounded Cameron. Discs of the Diablo game.

   "Brother, do you want to get one? It only costs fifty dollars, and you don't need an activation code. You can play directly!" The big boss in the middle glanced to the left and right, and then whispered to Cameron.

   Cameron watched this scene with dull eyes, and he couldn't get his mind back. He thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he didn't expect that these people would sell game discs instead of fighting and killing? !
