Number One Game Designer

The time for the release of the old and new machines is scheduled for the first weekend of September.

And this day seemed particularly long for Kimishima Satoshi.

After giving a speech to the entire company at eight o'clock in the morning, Kimishima Satoshi locked himself in the office, reviewing all the game data over and over again. And took a stack of manuscript paper to deduce the countermeasures in all situations.

On the thick stack of manuscript paper, you can see that Satoshi Kimishima has drawn a large table. On the left is the sales volume of new home machines from top to bottom, and then there are several grids horizontally for each sales volume, which are spaces for notes and ideas. .

At the top of the list is "Sales of less than 100,000", and the countermeasure at the back is simply "Resign, jump off the building."

Then every time the sales increase by one million, an idea will be deduced later.

At the bottom of the form is written "sales of more than 5 million", and the countermeasures behind it are only two simple words: "celebration".

Relatively speaking, because the sales of consoles are physical and have price factors, the sales volume is completely insignificant compared to Hongyi, which is all electronic games, but the profit is not a lot. But this is probably the difference between the real economy and the virtual economy.

In short, in the history of consoles, two million units of a new console in the first week is above the standard, and three million represents consumers’ approval of this console. Five million is the precursor to a big hit.

All the affairs of Satoshi Kimishima's subordinates have been arranged, and various plans for the first day have also been prepared in advance, which is why Satoshi Kimishima can sit firmly in the office and not show up. He planned to stay here all day until he got off work and looked at the data to determine his life and death.

After spending half a day considering all possible sales scenarios, Satoshi Kimishima began to review the games that were released on the home console on the first day.

Among them, there are only three or two games that can be called heavyweight games. Zelda is undoubtedly one of them. This game has been released for more than four years since the previous game. Influence them to grab a starter.

Among the third parties, Hongyi is the most famous. The new side story of the Assassin series will be exclusive to the new host. In addition, all other games of Hongyi will also be available on this platform, which should also attract most PCs. In exchange for fans of Hongyi who have more consumption power on the platform, Honghu platform may also have a group of players who did not think PC was a game console in the past.

The cooperation with Hongyi has always been the focus of Jundao Satoshi's work in the past few months, because he is optimistic about Fang Xi, Hongyi, and even the PC platform. The initial wishful thinking was to launch the host together with Hongyi's first 3A assassin, but unexpectedly, Hongyi didn't throw it away at all, and moved forward for half a month to make Kimishima Satoshi's wishful thinking come to nothing.

But then, considering that Hong Yi had a specially produced assassin rumor for this platform, Satoshi Kimishima's mood also calmed down a lot. In the final analysis, it depends on whether the host's concept of using time fragments can be recognized by players.

The essence of doing these things is that Satoshi Kimishima wanted to adjust his nervousness, but it turned out that it didn’t seem to be of any use. As the afternoon approached, Satoshi Kimishima became more and more nervous. As a result, what you see at a glance is the entry with a sales volume of less than 100,000:

"Apologize to resign"

"Quietly jump off the building"

The haze seemed to be getting heavier, until after four o'clock, the secretary finally took a report and knocked on the door of Satoshi Kimishima's office in a hurry:

"President, the preliminary statistics on NintendoChange are out!"

Satoshi Kimishima's heart trembled. When the last mainframe was released, he hadn't joined the old job yet, but he also knew that the statistical results were usually not available until after eight o'clock. Now it's left to him after four o'clock. Could it be that, Has the sales of this host been hopelessly bad?

For a moment, Satoshi Kimishima's mind was in a mess, and the instinct to survive made his head messy, and he was filled with all kinds of thoughts for a while.

Until the secretary grabbed his arm and shook him back: "President,

As of 4 o'clock, our NintendoChange has been sold out in some stores! According to incomplete statistics, as of four o'clock, the sales volume has reached 3.2 million! President, we succeeded! "

Four o'clock! 3.2 million!

A few numbers pulled Satoshi Kimishima back from the death line, the buzzing in his head disappeared, and Satoshi Kimishima now felt like he was alive again.

The sales volume is not a secret. Until the first day of sales was completely over at 8:00 pm, Lao Ren’s official website also released the specific data of the first day:

NintendoChange sold 4.7 million!

As for the accompanying game selection, 52% of the players chose Zelda, and 47% of the players chose the Assassin combination.

No matter how you look at it, Lao Ren's new-generation host is worthy of the word "great success", and swept away the decline of the wiiu era, announcing the return of the king!

In any case, IGN and GAME World have been quite busy this evening, whether it is the evaluation of the console or the evaluation of new games, it is enough for them to be busy for a long time.

At the Hongyi headquarters in Beiyang City, Fang Xi hadn't left work at this time, and he was lying on the sofa with a new old machine in his arms, enjoying himself. Of course, there is no Lao Ren's store in Beiyang City. This one was sent to him directly by Satoshi Jundao before it was released. Although I got it a long time ago, the game was not unlocked until today, so Fang Xi deliberately left the job to him today. Lu Wanqi, holding this "big phone" by herself, went to experience Link's life.

If there is a series of games that tends to be perfect in history, it is probably the Zelda series. It is not a boast. The entire series of Zelda games are relatively poorly produced, but even compared to the overall level It can be said that Majora's Mask, whose standard has plummeted, is still better than 90% of the same type of games on the market, and it is only worse than those few games that are compared to Zelda.

And this breath of the wild and what I played in the last time and space are only a little different in details, but it is harmless. Overall, this is still a very perfect game. Machines and performance, etc., the map of the game is still a little bit small, and you can see the border of the world when you stand at the highest point in the game. The so-called villages in the game are actually a few families. Even self-sufficiency is problematic, let alone forming a village.

But of course, these are small nitpicks, and they are not big problems compared to the overall quality of the game. At most, it can only be said that this is a very fun game, but the fun process is relatively short.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Fang Xi hesitated for a while and dialed Jundao Satoshi's office.

The call was connected quickly, and Jun Dao Satoshi's voice was full of arrogance. Fang Xi couldn't imagine that Jun Dao Satoshi over there was still cautious in front of him half a year ago, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Mr. FANG, I have been waiting for your call all night. The success of NintendoChange makes me say something to you, thank you!"
