I want to make a game

There will be no global launch ceremony for the 32-bit console. Its only launch location is in Shanghai, and there is no need to worry about too many people to accommodate it.

The venue for this launch ceremony is the entire New Pudong, with more than 1,000 square kilometers of land and millions of people can easily fit in it.

If New Pudong wants to be fully built, even if it invests regardless of cost and even if the country gives the green light, it will probably take 10 years.

But those important sites have also entered the mid-term stage at the slowest, and one year is enough time for them to be completed. With these, the skeleton of the Han Dynasty Electronic Technology City has been built.

"How many!?"

Sato Hideki's voice changed completely, but he didn't notice it at all, nor did the Sega executives present, because the sales statistics for the third hour were calculated.

"MAGE-CD...Part 1283."

"New Might and Magic..."

"6295 copies..."

This is the world's premiere. Although half of the countries have not started yet, this is not the reason why the new Might and Magic only sold more than 6,000 copies!

The sales of more than 1,200 MAGE-CD units made them even more heartbroken. What does this mean?

It means that the audience of MAGE-CD has been exhausted, and everyone who is interested has already bought it. This is the first release! It has no potential after 3 hours?

MD's peripherals have become inactive. This is a phenomenon that has never been seen in the home console industry. Even SMS, Sega's first console, has never been like this!

Moreover, the sales volume of Elf Guard War was too unacceptable. Although they were mentally prepared, the impact still broke down their defense line in one fell swoop.

"Elf Guard Battle..."

"48,420 copies..."

This is just half an hour's sales! And they have already foreseen that this sales volume will only get higher and higher, at least on the day of the launch ceremony!

Just for the gimmick of being able to compete on stage, the starting ceremony of the Elf Guard Battle will not be a dull moment at all...

"6259..."

"48420..."

Sato Hideki recited these two sets of numbers in despair. If only his soul had been taken away before, then at this moment, even his body was shattered.

What a profound contrast!

An irreversible situation!

An overwhelming advantage!

"How could this happen? It shouldn't be! This is Might and Magic, a game made by Liu Zhiyuan himself!"

One of Sega's board members was completely lost because he knew exactly what the numbers meant.

Half an hour, just half an hour after the elf guard battle caught up with the new magic door, and was about to overtake him, how could he still maintain his grace!

"This is the world's first turn-based strategy game! This is a masterpiece. There must be something wrong somewhere, there must be!"

The other directors sighed when they saw the man losing his composure. They were not in the mood to laugh at each other, and they even wanted to vent their anger like this.

What does it mean when there is such a gap between games of the same type? It means that New Might and Magic is coming to an end! This super masterpiece that once took the world by storm is over!

"President?"

"President?"

"President!!!"

"Call an ambulance!"

Hideki Sato collapsed, clutching his heart, and Sega's high-level conference room was in chaos.

...

“Sega’s new president is in the hospital.”

Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

"what's the situation?"

"I heard that I had a heart attack after learning about the sales gap between Elf Guard and New Might and Magic."

"Well, I hope President Sato is safe and sound, sincerely."

Liu Zhiyuan spread his hands. He didn't expect that Hideki Sato would be so unfazed that he would collapse right now. If Hiroshi Yamauchi and Hayao Nakayama had this kind of ability to withstand pressure, Nintendo and Sega would be finished long ago.

"Do you want to take back the magic door?"

When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he looked at Shi Yuzhu as if he was a lunatic. Sega was going to be acquired by him. How could Might and Magic still escape?

Even if Sega dared to sell Might and Magic, no one would dare to take it over. Today is a living example. They can create Might and Magic and they can also destroy it.

The only master of Might and Magic is his creator. No one else, not even Nintendo, can control it!

Logically speaking, Might and Magic couldn't have such poor sales, but he had already calculated that the sales of more than 20,000 in the first hour had already taken advantage of what fans had been expecting for years.

MD has only sold a total of more than 10 million units worldwide. Even as MD's flagship work, Might and Magic will hardly exceed 10 million copies in sales.

This is a typical example of the platform limiting game sales. If SFC and Gremlins released Might and Magic, the sales volume of 10 million could easily exceed 10 million.

The limitations of the host platform are one thing, but the type of game is another. Might and Magic does not have the ability to kill men, women, old and young like Pokemon and Super Mario.

To put it bluntly, the audience for this type of game is limited. Might and Magic in the MD era sold more than 7 million copies, which is already an astonishing number.

The sales volume of one game is equivalent to 70% of the console sales. This is undoubtedly very successful, and Might and Magic deserves to be called a super masterpiece.

But who made MD only sell more than 10 million units, Liu Zhiyuan was not worried that Sega could turn around.

What's more, there is Elf Guard War which is far superior in strategy, and most fans of Might and Magic are also the audience of Elf Guard War.

At least half of the original 7 million sales were lost, and considering the high price of MAGE-CD, why would Sega want to rely on Might and Magic to make a comeback?

Might and Magic without rivals is a super masterpiece, but when an opponent whose fans far exceed it and whose playability far exceeds it appears, then it is not considered a super masterpiece.

Sega is finished, dead! No one can save it!

Sega is the first party, not a third party! If the sales of consoles are not increased, everything else will be empty. Now even if Sega wants to accept some third parties, it has no such conditions.

Because of his arrival, the sales of games in this era have been completely different from history. If it weren't for Might and Magic, it can be regarded as the ancestor game of a genre.

It would not have the current status at all. It can be called a super masterpiece with sales of more than 7 million copies? Look at the games of the Han Dynasty, there are only a few with over 10 million!

Nintendo also has Super Mario and Zelda, but what does Sega have? Its first-party titles are already somewhat unrealistic.

The third parties in the gaming industry are now having their eyes set on an infinitely higher level. A platform with more than 10 million units sold worldwide is no longer worth relying on.

...

The next day, the launch ceremonies for Sega and Han Dynasty countries began.

"Akihabara, Japan, Elf Guard Battle, 1-hour sales, 23,953 copies."

"New Might and Magic sold 12,783 copies in one hour."

"Germany..."

"Canada..."

"..."

Pieces of data began to spread around the world. Employees of Han Dynasty began to shout victory, while employees of Sega fell silent.

In all the launch cities in the world, none of the new magic can surpass the Elf Guard Battle. Even if it surpasses it, it will only be before the 3D projection show.

What followed was an overwhelming victory, a crushing victory.
