Takayuki proposed to deliver results within one or two years. This also gave him so ti to ease the situation. Currently, his focus is still on Final Fantasy VII, and everything else has to be temporarily set aside. However, he can give new developnt tasks to other restricted developnt teams, clarify the frawork of real-ti strategy gas, and let them work on it for a while.
By October 1999, after four months of sales, GS1's sales had reached tens of millions. It was the second highest-selling ga console that year. The highest-selling ga console was GBA, which sold over 13 million units in ten months, a terrifying figure.
Now, the sales of electronic gas have truly entered a white-hot stage. The gaming industry is rapidly rising, no longer the small-scale business of the past. During this ti, there were several electronic gas with sales exceeding tens of millions.
Not counting bundled sales, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and the retail version of Tetris all successfully broke the ten million sales mark. It's worth ntioning that the original FC ga console sales exceeded one hundred million after six years.
According to comrcial logic, such an old machine should have been phased out already, and a more radical approach might have been to cease production when a new console was released. However, Takayuki has a soft spot for the first ga console he created. So, even if it doesn't make much money now, as long as it doesn't lose money, the factory keeps producing.
But now this machine is mostly sold to countries with slightly lower economic capabilities. Even with tariffs included, the average selling price doesn't exceed ten US dollars. Ten dollars for a genuine ga console, with better after-sales service. Even though knockoff ga consoles may have a price advantage, they can't compete with genuine ones. Plus, with the console being open source and no strict restrictions on pirated gas, it beca the biggest childhood companion for many children in various countries.
After all, Takayuki's childhood started with pirated gas, so he is relatively tolerant in this regard. Of course, this only applies to outdated old machines. If soone is foolish enough to crack new machines, he'll directly call his team of lawyers and bankrupt you no matter how much money it costs.
Even though this isn't wise from a business standpoint because it would cost too much money, it does deter many hackers from making too much trouble.
Of course, breaking a hundred million in FC sales couldn't go without celebration. Breaking one million, ten million, one hundred million, these are all significant and morable numbers, and also excellent low-cost advertising opportunities, proving the strong capabilities of Gastar Entertainnt.
But gars' focus is still mainly on GS1. After several months of sales, GS1 already had over a hundred gas. Almost every month, there were various gas released for this console, including at least two or three high-quality 3D graphic gas, both from first-party and third-party developers. Players experienced the charm of the new era of electronic gas through GS1 and were now addicted.
The more they played GS1 gas, the more they despised other gaming consoles. Compared to GS1, other gaming consoles were really inferior. Only SuRui Electronics' gaming consoles could compete.
Oh, by the way, there have been so good-quality gas released for personal computers recently. But for now, most people still use computers for work, so there isn't any official statistical agency tracking PC ga sales.
As for the FF7 trial version bundled with GS1, many players have played it multiple tis, as the whole trial process only takes two to three hours. The more they play, the more they beco addicted to this beautiful world. "I'll die without Final Fantasy VII" is a frequently seen post on community forums, showing players' desire for Final Fantasy VII.
With such a desire, Gastar Entertainnt finally announced the latest developnt progress of Final Fantasy VII in a small-scale eting. Developnt has entered the final stages, and if everything goes well, it should be officially released in March or April of the new millennium.
This year's best ga won't compete with Super Mario 64. It's boring for family mbers to compete against each other.
With a relatively accurate release ti, players were naturally very happy. They can finally enjoy the new millennium with peace of mind. The ga developnt process has also reached the endga scenario of Final Fantasy VII. What's left is the production of animated CG, a process that cannot be rushed and requires a lot of computing power. Spending too much money won't necessarily yield better results, so patience is required.
As the last Christmas of the new millennium approached, Gastar Entertainnt also held a special promotion, with all gas discounted by ten percent and ga consoles discounted by twenty percent. This imdiately stimulated players' consumption enthusiasm.
It's usually difficult for Gastar Entertainnt's gas to be discounted, unless they reach the outdated standard set by Gastar Entertainnt, which is about a two-year ti limit. Electronic gas released for more than two years are classified as outdated gas and then participate in special discount activities, aid at increasing player audiences through discounts and preparing for attracting custors to future new gas.
Being able to discount a ga during its hot period is quite rare. Players went on a short-term frenzy of consumption, allowing Gastar Entertainnt's turnover to skyrocket just before the end of the year, paving the way for the next ga developnt.
"Thanks to everyone's hard work this year. Because the new millennium is approaching, I think it's ti to start the holiday from now on. Everyone, please go back and have an unforgettable New Year's, and next year, we will be the masters of the new millennium."
On the day before Christmas, Takayuki personally announced the start of the holiday. He gave the employees a collective holiday of half a month to thank them for their hard work over the years. The employees naturally celebrated with joy. Honestly, even though they didn't work much overti during this ti and worked with enthusiasm, the feeling of having a long holiday is always different.
They all thanked Takayuki and cheered, shouting "Long live Takayuki," before returning to their respective hos.
Nowadays, every employee of Gastar Entertainnt earns a good inco, and they are the most well-off group of people even in the economic downturn market environnt of Japan. Their New Year's celebrations are naturally the happiest.
And all of this is thanks to Takayuki.
