Before the game was released, even after seeing the advertisement of "Pokemon" and guessing that the quality of the game was good, the media and players were still not very optimistic about the sales of "Pokemon".
"Even if "Pokemon" is awesome and fun, but there is only one handheld for the main game, will anyone buy it?"
"Is it really necessary to start stepping into the handheld field without a luxurious game lineup?"
"Since the quality of "Pokemon" is good, why not choose a mobile phone as the game platform? It's nothing more than an extra virtual joystick. Or a PC platform, except that you can't play face-to-face, does it have any impact?"
"Unfortunately, the game may be good, but the wrong platform was chosen! With only such a game's handheld, few people would choose to buy it!"
But when the game was released, "Pokemon" quickly conquered many players with its charm, and sales soared!
Soon, the first week of sales of "Pokemon" came out, which shocked everyone.
500,000 copies!
Even Wang Jian himself was stunned!
He is naturally very confident in the sales of "Pokemon", and he boldly estimates that the sales in the first month will be 1 million copies, with a maximum of 1.3 million copies.
But I didn't expect it to be so popular, and it sold 500,000 copies in the first week!
This is a 349 game, not a 49 game, okay?
Sure enough, the purchasing power of children is amazing!
After discovering that he had seriously underestimated the sales of the game, Wang Jian hurriedly notified him, so that the production line of the factory would stop all the time to replenish the supply.
A few days after the release of "Pokemon", preliminary evaluations by the media have also been released.
Both are full of praise for "Pokemon"! It has further contributed to the sales!
Coupled with the players' crazy touts about how fun this game is, and all kinds of Pokémon showing off their training, players who haven't bought the Xiaobawang handheld can't sit still! Have to go online to order!
Sales in the second week, 800,000 copies!
At this time, as players and game media have a deeper understanding of "Pokemon", they are surprised to find that the content of the original game is far more than just collecting and developing!
Swap, fight!
Choose your favorite Pokémon among hundreds of Pokémon, and match each one with skills to form the strongest lineup.
Some seemingly weak Pokémon, with the right lineup and skills, can sometimes make unexpected contributions, not inferior to those with powerful races, or even stronger!
Omnipotent players always have a tireless pursuit in terms of playing.
Fighting with NPCs is a lot of fun, fighting with people is double the joy!
This game has even formed a trend and has become a popular social phenomenon.
As Black Cat said in the evaluation, when many children play, they will shout out the relevant lines in "Pokemon".
For example, catching two ants to fight together, "The decision is yours, black ant!", "Black ant, use Bite!" and so on.
Or simply play the Pokémon yourself, "Look at my 100,000 volts! Shit~" or something like that.
Even with faster production, Pokemon was out of stock by the third week.
Out of stock!
As players learn more about Pokémon, some players who love Pokémon and like to study, even call themselves "Pokémon researchers", "Pokémon scholars" or "Pokémon scientists".
They researched a lot of the game and found the Pokémon to be incredibly rigorous! All kinds of Pokémon do not seem to come from imagination.
But after a long period of evolution in another world, it has the current appearance.
For example, the gender of Pokémon is not a simple symbol, but a subtle difference in appearance.
The most popular and the most popular Pikachu in the game, the male's tail is square at the end, and the male and female's tail is the upper part of the heart.
A large, open flower grows on its back, males have spikes in them, but females don't.
This phenomenon is biologically known as "hermaphroditism".
There are still many such contents, and the "pomologists" are continuing to study with pleasure.
Even a well-known biology professor from Huaguo Shuimu University played this game on the recommendation of his students, and then couldn't help but praise the huge and reasonable Pokemon system in "Pokemon".
In the end, sales in the first month were fixed at 2 million copies.
This is because there is no stock and only 2 million copies can be sold. Naturally, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
It is conceivable that with the replenishment of supplies in the future, the sales of the game will continue to rise!
As for how many copies can be sold in the end, Wang Jian's confident prediction was also taken a breath of air by the sales that far exceeded the estimate, and he dared not speak lightly again!
2 million copies is nearly 700 million in the first month of running water!
Even pure profit, there are 200 million!
The acquisition of Xiaobawang and the high investment in research and development have fully earned it back.
After reading the financial report, Wang Jian couldn't help but stunned: "My dear, I feel that even if the price is 400, or even higher, it can be sold out of stock!"
But this idea is just a random thought.
Why do you want to make so much money? Bringing happiness to players is his pursuit.
After the sales of "Pokemon" were announced, players may be surprised, but the insiders were really stunned and discussed.
"I'm a darling, 700 million turnover! Not to mention domestic, even if it is placed in the world, the games that can achieve this result belong to the top games!"
"The sales of "Pokemon" this time are too eye-catching!"
"Before the sales of this game came out, the circle was basically not optimistic, and the result was all slapped in the face!"
"When will I be able to make such a game, It's really dead without regrets!"
"By the way, the quality of "Pokemon" is good, but it's not so popular, right? I really don't understand!"
"Yeah, obviously the plot of "Pokemon" is bland, the art is not very good, and it can be popular, which is completely contrary to the current mainstream rpg games. Does this mean that there is something wrong with our understanding of game production? ? Or have players' tastes changed?"
"Actually, in game production, it's not wrong to pursue high-quality art and twists and turns in the plot, but the game "Pokemon" can't be handled with common sense.
"After you're ready, study the game carefully!"
"What game design will be discussed at this meeting? Don't you understand? Marketing is the key! Children's money is the best! Why can't they use the money from buying toys to buy games? This is what we used to do in the past. An overlooked market with huge potential! Our company is ready to launch a game called "Variety Monsters", and also learn from "Pokemon", and advertise after the animation is broadcast!"
"It's a coincidence that our company is also planning to launch a game called "Pocket Robot", which will replace all kinds of Pokémon with robots. Children will love it!"
"Well, I'm afraid it's not that simple! Choosing a handheld as a platform for games should be a key factor for children to buy! The quality of the game is also very important!"
No matter whether these insiders are shocked, envious, or jealous, or have taken action to follow the trend, "Pokemon" will undoubtedly become a hot topic in their chats for a long time!
