"Shit."

After cursing in his heart, Richard Garrett also found a towel and wiped his palm.

Then he remembered what he had thought about before.

Of course, Richard Garrett also knew that the sales of games cannot be calculated so simply. Generally speaking, sales in the first few days increased explosively, accounting for nearly half of the total sales of a game.

But, he also knew that such numbers.

Even his most successful game is absolutely impossible to achieve.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of severe frustration. He felt that he might really have to be defeated in this sales comparison.

Of course, there is no hope.

After all, his game has a reputation and fans, and he has done this game with great care compared to the previous game. In addition, this thing is so popular this time, it will inevitably increase sales, and maybe it can increase sales to one million again.

One million.

This is a game that is out of reach for most PC games.

Even if it is the so-called mine-sweeping RPG of Jest, Richard Garrett dared not guarantee that it would definitely sell for one million. Of course, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that it will exceed one million.

After all, less than ten hours passed on the first day, and sales may have to be 200,000 copies.

One million is not a big number.

At this time, Richard Garrett remembered the sales of the two PC games before Jester. He couldn't remember the sales volumes of "Thor's Hammer" for several years, but "Age of Empires" was released last Christmas.

He remembers the sales figures clearly.

Five hundred and ninety thousand on the first day!

This time, "The Stone Guardian" won't be able to sell 590,000 sets, right?

Faced with the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, even Richard Garrett almost scared him, and then he quickly drove the thought out of his mind.

What a joke.

How much publicity has Mars Entertainment invested in the annual most important carnival of Mars Entertainment, and even the most important carnival of Mars Entertainment has taken the most important position to promote it. Nowadays, various media outlets go to Mars Entertainment's carnival.

But they are all proud to be able to report on the news of the Mars Entertainment Carnival.

There is no way to do this. After all, during that period, players were not interested in other things at all. If you report other things, no player would pay for it. They only like the news about Mars Entertainment Carnival, and of course they could not be all players.

After all, Mars Entertainment's influence in the industry will not be able to occupy a percentage of the white market.

However, more than 70% of the share is enough.

How many media and magazines do not want this 70% market and choose that 30% market? There must be such a certain number, but it can be imagined that it must be a handful.

At this time, Richard Garret's door was knocked.

A young man walked in.

"Boss. We found out the statistics of the first two batches of "Runish Guardians" in Mars Entertainment." Wei Zhen, one of the world's largest PC game publishers, naturally has its own news channels in Mars Entertainment. Of course, this news channel will not be too advanced.

It can't be called a commercial spy.

At most, you can know in advance that it is no longer a secret inside Mars Entertainment. Of course, it is better to spread it outside in an ordinary way, or if Mars Entertainment announces it yourself, it is better to go a little faster.

For example, sales volumes will be counted around three hours each, and one hand will not be announced to the public.

At most, Mars Entertainment will announce its sales on the first day on the second day.

And Mars Entertainment did do this before.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Richard Garrett suppressed his almost uncontrollable mood as much as possible, but he still showed a hint of eagerness. He said in a quick speed: "More...how many!"

"As of nine o'clock, the number they just counted was 400,000!"

"Bang!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Richard Garrett slapped the table.

He stood up directly, and then threw it to the ground, smashed it into a random cup and kicked it out for a long time. His face was full of disbelief. Perhaps because he stood up too suddenly, his brain suddenly became congested, which made him a little dizzy. He even reached out to support the table.

"What did you say!"

Richard Garrett asked again in an incredible tone.

Although his young subordinate's answer was bumpy and his expression was a little flustered, the numbers he said were no different from those before.

This young man is also a Weizhen employee, so he will naturally know that a PC game can sell 400,000 copies in nine hours. To be honest, even the best Genesis series sold by Richard Garrett back then, the sales volume in the first three days was only 400,000 copies.

And this game exceeded one million copies, which took a month and three days.

Of course, whether in the present or in the past, this sales data would be the best if the two games that Jester had caused a sensation in the industry were eliminated.

but.

Richard Garrett was really dead this time. He asked repeatedly as if he was disbelief: "How could they sell 400,000 copies? How could this be possible!" According to his understanding, and analyzing the sales curve of many years of game sales, if Mars Entertainment sold 400,000 copies a day this time, he might only be shocked and would not lose his composure.

In his concept, how could a niche RPG game be sold so much?

If this is a console game, it would be fine. After all, the sales of Mars Entertainment's console game have created even more terrifying data, but this is a PC game. This is a market that can be considered a best-selling PC game as long as it can sell 100,000 copies.

It was originally just a question that Richard Garrett said to himself.

The young man who had just come in and reported the situation to his boss stopped. This should be his boss asking him questions, so he told his boss everything he heard.

"Actually, after experiencing the hot sales in the previous few hours, the sales trend declined for a while, but at 8 o'clock, they suddenly announced for an hour. That is to say, because of the insufficient inventory, there was a limit on the number of games purchased by each person, and no one could only buy three game floppy disks... This did not slow down the growth trend of sales. Instead, many of them wanted to buy one, and they also bought two chapters. Many of them were worried that their friends would not be able to buy..."

After a while, Richard Garrett had actually digested the news almost the same.

Although his expression was still a little scared, his obvious expression was much better than when he just heard the desperate number. He sat back on the chair, then quietly listened to what the young man said, remained silent for a few minutes, and finally sighed.

"You'll go out first, I want to be quiet."

The young man also knows why his boss is like this, because this is too far from his boss's prediction before. If his opponent can be ten percent higher than him, he can still make the pursuit work harder, then when there is only a fraction of the opponent, he will not have the slightest desire to chase, but will only be defeated.

Jester did not expect that after his purchase restrictions were announced, not only did not slow down the sales growth trend, but instead caused the sales growth trend to surge again.

After all, Jester said that.

Insufficient inventory.

However, only those who come to buy the first three days can be eligible for the lottery for the Battle.com test. If the inventory volume is sold out this time, who knows when the next batch of goods will come? Can the supply be replenished in the first three days? Anyone who has an in-depth understanding of Mars Entertainment knows that this is impossible.

You should know that Mars Entertainment’s game cartridges, floppy disks or game consoles are produced in Asia.

And Asia is far away from the United States, and there is a whole Pacific Ocean.

So, from ten minutes to twelve o'clock in the morning, all the stocks of "The Stone Guardian" in North America were sold out, with a total of 660,000 games, ranging from twelve o'clock in the morning to less than twelve o'clock in the afternoon, a total of twelve hours, and it was not yet fully released in North America.

It is only available for sale in cities above level 2.

Such results are enough to make everyone amazed - of course, there are even more annoying players, many latecomers, and have any players who come to queue up early to buy one more for themselves. Of course, they are extremely angry. They ask Mars Entertainment why the inventory is not enough and they have to send a message about the people who bought it for the first three days.

However, Mars Entertainment has nothing to say about this.

Because at the end of this statement, there will be a sentence that the final interpretation right of this statement belongs to Mars Entertainment, which means that Mars Entertainment can explain it any way, and these players are just complaining about the dissatisfaction they cannot buy, and they are just complaining.
