Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 47 Sales Results
Chapter 47 Sales Results
“Zhuyousang, the sales data for the first week are out!”
Ota is holding his mobile phone and looking very happy.
At this time, Zhuyouxing was just making a new game.
He plans to release the game on a monthly basis, and he is also writing a book about making games.
After all, Zhu Youxing himself is only one person. At most, he can find a team to make larger-scale games, but he hopes that more games can be born besides himself.
Of course, the licensing fee is definitely indispensable, so that the value of the red and white machine can be better reflected.
After receiving the call from Ota Masaru, Takeyusei was also in high spirits.
finally come.
He and Da Tianzheng agreed to conduct data statistics every day and report and summarize once a week.
The main content of the report summary is the sales volume of game consoles, whether they are purchased by adults or children, and what is the age ratio.
There is also the purchase and sales of different games.
In the past, Zhuyouxing also mass-produced each game cartridge. Of course, this thing is much simpler to produce than a game console.
Just need mass-produced storage chips, and then write the program through the computer. After encrypting the program, you are done.
The sales of game consoles and games are about money on the one hand, and on the other hand they also determine the popularity of this thing to see if people in this world really like this product.
Zhu Youxing took a deep breath and asked: "How about the detailed data?"
Ota is holding a stack of data and starting to reply one by one.
“The sales volume of game consoles in the first week was 32,453 units, with an average of more than 4,600 units sold every day, of which 19,324 units were delivered through registered addresses, and the rest were sold in stores.”
More than 30,000 units per week. This is the sales data of a brand-new product. It can be said that this sales volume is very good. Based on the price of 7,000 yen per unit, this is more than 200 million yen.
With these 200 million, we can immediately pay back the advertising fees, and then pay for part of the motherboard order.
And this is the sales of game consoles.
“What about the games? How many sales did they have?”
Ota Masa immediately turned the page, and then said with a little excitement: "The sales are very good! Compared to game consoles, as you said, games are really more profitable!"
“Dragon Quest has a total of 7435 cards, Bomberman has a total of 11023, Tank Battle has a total of 15647, and Backgammon has a total of 9324.”
Dragon Quest only has more than 7,000? This is slightly lower than Zhuyouxing's expectations. It is not a problem that the game is not fun, but that role-playing games require a longer period of time to settle.
Bomberman Tank Battle and Backgammon are quite in line with his expectations. There are more than 10,000 units, so on average, there are more than 30,000 game consoles, and every game console buyer will buy one... huh? wrong.
Take Yusei said: "Ota, have you forgotten two games? What about the sales of Contra and Tetris?"
Ota Tadashi chuckled: "Because I'm waiting for you to take the initiative to ask me, what do you think the sales of these two are?"
Zhu Youxing was stunned.
After thinking for a short time, he immediately understood that this was obviously a good sales volume!
Contra is a game that is more focused on fighting, so there is nothing wrong with guns that are temporarily classified as guns, carts and ball games.
That’s why Guns, Cars, and Ball can continue to be evergreen. No matter how long it takes, people are very keen on violence.
However, he remembered that the sales of Contra in the previous life could only be said to be barely adequate. Of course, part of the reason may be that the Contra era was a bit late, and many similar games had appeared in the same period.
But it’s different in this world. Contra in this world is a launch game, so the effects may be different.
“Twenty thousand?”
Zhu Youxing directly stated the most likely number he expected.
“More.”
“Twenty thousand?”
Ota Masaru: "Contra, 21332."
“What about Tetris?”
“29813!, let me tell you, almost everyone who buys a console will at least choose to buy Tetris!”
It is indeed the best-selling game in the world.
Zhu Yuxing remembers that Tetris had an amazing sales volume in his previous life.
This game has almost perfect characteristics. It is suitable for all ages. It has a low difficulty limit and a high upper limit. It can also meet all the needs of obsessive-compulsive players.
Everyone can like and dislike different games, but only Tetris has almost no room for criticism. It can be said that it started out perfectly.
“Let me tell you Zhuyu-san, except for Tetris, other games will gradually decrease with daily sales, but only Tetris is selling more and more every day!”
“Takeyu-san, you must hurry up and increase the stock of Tetris, otherwise I’m really worried that it will be sold out soon.”
Zhu Youxing said: "This can wait for now, there is no need to rush."
The sales of game consoles and games, in one week, brought in close to 400 million yen in revenue.
Ota is really realizing how profitable this thing is.
Especially for games, he knew that the cost of these things was terrifyingly low.
The average cost of each game body plus packaging is only about 500 yen.
If this continues, it will only take two weeks to offset all the previous costs of circuit boards and advertising fees, and then the remaining 60,000 game consoles will be pure profits.
Looking at these incomes, Da Tianzheng's eyes were a little red.
However, Zhu Youxing was quite calm.
He has seen games that have sold over one million copies in their first launch, but the average sales this week are less than 20,000, which is really nothing.
However, the cost of making games and game consoles in his previous life was not low, so he would not be able to earn such terrifying profits like him.
Furthermore, this is the first week of console and game sales.
But in the second week, I’m afraid I won’t be optimistic.
How big is the talent of Japan as a whole?
The sales volume in the first week is probably the majority of the money that can be earned in a short period of time. The rest needs to be expanded into the market.
I’m afraid it’s the professionals’ turn to take action.
Da Tian was hearing Zhu Yuxing's reply that there was no need to rush, and he suddenly wondered: "Huh? Why? Our sales momentum is very good."
"Because almost all the people in Tokyo who should buy it should have bought it now. The sales volume in the first week is probably the highest record in a short period of time. The maximum sales volume of the game fluctuates with the game console. What should be considered now is to think first In order to let more people know about the game console, we need to promote it.”
Ota asked seriously: "Publish more advertisements?"
Zhu Youxing must know better about this aspect of the game, so he did not question it, but asked for a solution.
Advertising is still needed, but at the same time, it also needs to be promoted in major shopping malls, and it also needs to be promoted in other cities. "
