I want to make a game

Hideki Sato was waiting anxiously at Sega's largest sales point in North America.

It has been more than 2 hours since the launch started, and he has already used all the resources that the entire company can use. With success, Sega will still be the dominant player in the gaming industry in the future.

fail...

"President!"

"bass..."

Sato Hideki stood up suddenly. His secretary looked at the statistics and asked nervously.

"How many!?"

"MAGE-CD first sold 14,058 units."

"The new Might and Magic first sold 48,293 copies."

"Dong..."

He sat slumped on the chair, as if his soul had been sucked out of his whole body.

For more than 2 hours, with this kind of sales, he understood very well that the sales data of the new Might and Magic were in line with its value, but MAGE-CD was completely unworthy of Sega's investment and expectations!

Let’s not talk about the Elf series. No one can compare with it. Even the Han Dynasty itself will find it difficult to break that sales record.

It can be used as an extended peripheral of MD. It does not have to surpass SFC, but at least it has to be on par with MD’s first sales volume at that time!

He also knew that the price of MAGE-CD was very high, but Sega really didn't make any money on it. It was almost selling at cost!

Speaking of high prices, can MAGE-CD still be higher than the Hongmeng mobile phone of the Han Dynasty? Although the two are not in the same field, tens of thousands of them have been booked for a price of US$3,500!

In the final analysis, MAGE-CD was still not accepted by the market. In more than 2 hours, more than 10,000 units were sold, which proved that Sega's console plan failed, and Might and Magic...

The sales volume of more than 40,000 copies in more than 2 hours seems to be very good. In the game industry, except for those perverted games, it is also considered very good.

But this is based on the fact that the Han Dynasty game has not been released! If the Han Dynasty's Elf Guard War and the new Might and Magic were released together...

Can New Might and Magic still sell so many? It's not his fault for falling into self-doubt, but the data has told him that if he doesn't find a way, New Might and Magic will follow in the footsteps of MAGE-CD.

In the first hour, 29,053 copies of the new Might and Magic were sold.

In the second hour, 14,682 copies of New Might and Magic were sold.

And now, the new Might and Magic has sold less than 5,000 copies! If this situation continues, in the third hour, Might and Magic will probably not exceed 10,000 copies.

This is completely inconsistent with the sales trend of a super masterpiece. The sales volume of super masterpieces will not be too large at least within a week, and some will even get higher and higher...

Pokemon, Super Mario, Need for Speed...etc., they are all like this.

But the new Might and Magic Gate is no longer a matter of amplitude, it is a cliff-like drop! It has been like this for the third hour, so will it not even exceed 5,000 in the fourth hour?

First, the sales volume in the second hour is very consistent with Might and Magic's status, but the sales volume in the third hour is not worthy of Might & Magic's status in the gaming industry.

Although the third hour has just passed halfway, the situation is very bad! The program of the Han Dynasty has come to an end, and the Magic Gate will soon face the battle with the Elf Guards!

MAGE-CD itself is an attempt, and Sega attaches great importance to this attempt, but its importance cannot be compared with Might and Magic.

Sega had already prepared a plan for the failure of MAGE-CD. It was a replacement before Sega's new console was developed. It assisted MD rather than replaced it.

But Might and Magic is irreplaceable. After the failure of the Sonic project, this is the only game that Sega can still claim to be a super masterpiece.

...

"Wonderful?"

The two-and-a-half-hour 3D projection show was over, and he was completely immersed in it.

A 3D projection performance of this specification has never happened in the world in 2020, let alone 1991. It is not that the technology of the Han Dynasty has surpassed 2020.

But he was willing to spend $1.5 billion in exchange for a two-and-a-half-hour program. No one else in the world could do such a crazy thing except him.

"Wonderful!"

"The Han Dynasty is invincible!"

"The strongest gaming company!"

"Death to Sega! Death to Nintendo! One game company from the Han Dynasty is enough in this world!"

"..."

The atmosphere of the audience was very enthusiastic, even violent. There was nothing we could do about it. This performance would become the focus of the world in 2020, let alone now.

"Want to come up and give it a try? The elves you control will also appear on the field as lifelike."

The scene was quiet for a moment, but the next moment, the cheers shook the surrounding houses and could be heard several kilometers away.

"Elf Guard War is officially on sale. The surrounding stores have prepared it for everyone. What are you waiting for? Anyone who purchases a game with the number 8 printed on it can go on stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the players who were surrounding the stage just now scattered away at a frightening speed.

Who doesn’t want to be on this stage that looks like the future of time and space? Who doesn’t want to have their beloved elf materialize? Many people have even made up their mind to grab the package with the number 8 printed on it.

If 1 portion doesn't work, just 2 portions. If 2 portions doesn't work, just 3 portions. If that doesn't work...

"Guys, guys! If any of you buy a game with the number 8 printed on it, you can sell it to me! $10,000! $10,000!"

"20,000 US dollars! You can get whatever you want!"

"..."

Liu Zhiyuan naturally heard those players shouting for acquisition, and he smiled. The game of Han Dynasty has not yet reached the point where the rich are God.

Ordinary players must also have a sense of participation. This is the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

"Each person can only buy one copy, and there is only one chance to go on stage. Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. Players of the Han Dynasty, remember, sharing is far better than enjoying it alone."

In an instant, there were a lot of curses below. Liu Zhiyuan laughed indifferently. It is inevitable for those who play games to be scolded. Who has not been scolded? If you have not been scolded, it proves that you are not worthy of the players' scolding.

.

Besides, most of the people yelling and scolding below are wealthy players. Those who only have the conditions to buy one copy didn’t have many people scolding him.

"Let's count the sales. In half an hour, I will make Sega despair."

"yes."

Although he has changed a lot of history, no matter how he changes history, MAGE-CD cannot succeed. It does not have any conditions for success at all.

Knowing this, he can naturally play however he wants. So what if I give you two and a half hours? Believe it or not, I can surpass you anytime, anywhere?

Kill the heart! He not only wants to kill Sega's new products, but also kill the hearts of all Sega employees. Fighting with the Han Dynasty? There is no chance of winning.

Only when all Sega employees give up can he successfully acquire Sega. This is one of the reasons why the release was delayed for 2 and a half hours.

Of course, the more important thing is to consolidate global players' understanding of the Han Dynasty's starting ceremony, although many people know that the Han Dynasty's starting ceremony has always been amazing.

It’s not that these special effects cannot be broadcast in advance, but the surprises are much less. Why are the opening ceremonies of the Han Dynasty always so amazing!?

Just to pave the way for 32-bit consoles! Maybe in the eyes of others, the current launch ceremony of the Han Dynasty is already great, but only he knows it.

These are just small tricks. The launch ceremony of the 32-bit console will let the world see a real gaming country, right in China, right in Shanghai!
