Six hundred and ninetieth chapters must break a million
Just as everyone was amazed that Diablo's sales increased in the new week, and on the fourth day of the second week, the sales of that day once again reached 50,000 sets, which shocked everyone's teeth.
You know, generally speaking, a game with the highest sales rate is almost the day it is released.
By the same token, the week with the highest sales volume is definitely the first week.
The month with the highest sales volume is definitely the month when it is released. This kind of sales practice generally does not go wrong, even in the era of Jester.
Of course, things often happen that do not conform to these conventions.
But there is a reason for that.
For example, a very large publicity plan has just been launched and a large amount of financial and manpower has been added to promote it.
This allows, naturally, to drive sales.
However, "Diablo" does not have such treatment. Mars Entertainment's promotion of this game has increased a little because of Jester's emphasis, but that's all. This effort is not of great use to increase the sales of the entire game.
Most importantly, this high-intensity support is mainly concentrated in the first week.
Starting from the second week, this support will naturally decline, and the sales volume in the second week will definitely be worse than that in the first week. Then the free promotion intensity will naturally be given to the newly launched games.
But in this case, Diablo's sales actually reversed in an amazing way.
His sales in the second week are likely to be comparable to the first week, which means that it can also reach more than 200,000 copies. In this way, the sales in two weeks will reach 400,000. The sales volume of the million copies mentioned by Jester before seems not so difficult to achieve. After thinking about this, whether it is Mars Entertainment or people outside of Mars Entertainment, looking at Jester is like watching aliens.
This is also possible to guess?
You know, when Jester knew that Diablo's sales on the first day were only 50,000 copies, he asserted that this game would definitely exceed one million.
This is completely different from the previous prediction of one million copies.
At that time, others thought it was Jester who was swollen and pretended to be fat, and they were unwilling to admit defeat, but now when they look back, that's not the case. It was a real magic trick, everything was clear.
Is this method still human?
For a moment, Jester's reputation was once again unparalleled.
Of course, Jester's reputation and prestige in the industry are unparalleled.
In fact, this is a normal thing in Jester's opinion, because he is familiar with the original sales curve of "Diablo". He knows his sales performance, and he is extremely confident about this type of game, especially after filling in Battle.com and the ladder.
Therefore, this kind of counter-growth phenomenon occurs in the second week, but it is almost the same as this phenomenon can last for at most half a week.
It is impossible for sales to remain at such a high level.
The start of the first season of Diablo Season Ladder is scheduled for next week's weekend. It is almost the end of this sales, and it should be possible to raise another wave of sales in the next week. However, it is unlikely to reach the current 200,000, which is about 150,000 or 60,000, and 650,000 copies in three states.
Such a number will exceed one million in the future, which is certain.
After the sales statistics for the second week were counted, Diablo really lived up to expectations, reaching an astonishing 240,000 copies, which was tens of thousands more than the first week.
"The previous celebration meeting was not in vain."
Jester also took time to meet Mike Mohuaimi and Robert Pardo. At the same time, he introduced Bill Roger to them. Although Robert Pardo's next game is "Invincible" and he will no longer be responsible for the sequel to this project, he is one of the main producers of the first production and has some understanding of this game.
This time, it is also very important for Bill Roger, who just took over.
Compared with the qualifications, Bill Roger is actually better than Mike Mohuaimi and Robert Paldo in Mars Entertainment, but the problem is that this time the brilliant success of Diablo's success has made up for all this, and the ability of a development team that can develop a sales volume of millions of platinum will not be questioned.
Of course, the producer of this development team won't.
Therefore, Bill Roger can only serve as Mike Mohuai's deputy in the newly established development team.
Jester later talked to several people, all of which were dispensable and liven up the atmosphere. After that, he left and let the people get familiar with each other, especially Bill Roger and Mike Mohuaimi. After all, the development task of "Diablo 2" still falls on them.
I have never been worried about this Jester.
After all, Bill Roger was originally the father of the dark, and Mike Mohuaimi was also known for knowing people and using them well in Blizzard. Although his ability is not the highest, he feels that he has the talent to be willing to be a green leaf.
In fact, from what Jester learned, in the development of the first part of Diablo, Mike Mohuaimi realized that there was a gap between his abilities and Robert Pardo, so basically, he handed over the main decision to Robert Pardo, and he himself was willing to be an auxiliary character. Such a producer who was not fighting for power is relatively rare in Mars Entertainment.
However, such producers are also willing to cooperate with each other.
As long as Bill Roger can prove his abilities, Mike Mohuaimi will naturally be willing to take over him.
After all, after the success of this game, the fame and fortune you get is for two-person shares, not single-person shares.
Jester trained Mike Mo Huaimi not to let him go further and further in the game development industry before. The more important reason is to train him into an administrative talent.
This is his most suitable position.
In the future, he will definitely retreat to the second line. At that time, he will not be able to continue to be in the company. At that time, the company needs some staff to take over in administrative aspects. Now that he is doing well in Japan, Satoshi Iwada is one of the candidates he chose, and Mike Mohuaimi is also one of the candidates he chose. (To be continued...)
