Takayuki briefly glanced over the general content of the readers' letters. Among them, there were mostly positive responses, indicating that the story of "Dragon Quest" is quite appealing to readers.
The negative letters also expressed concerns, particularly about whether Tsuchiya Sanosuke could maintain his condition and whether the story might suddenly collapse midway.
However, it couldn't entirely be considered negative.
Such concerns seed unnecessary to Takayuki and Ikeda Daigo.
Because Takayuki had already provided Tsuchiya Sanosuke with the complete story outline from the beginning.
As long as Tsuchiya Sanosuke didn't deviate from it, there would be no unexpected situations in the first installnt of "Dragon Quest".
After reading it, Takayuki and Tsuchiya Sanosuke briefly discussed the storyline again, confirming that the story was about to reach a climax. The protagonist would enter the first cave to explore his own mysterious past.
With the unveiling of the protagonist's background, the entire world-building would also be fully revealed, increasing the attraction to readers.
It's just perfect timing to promote the ga of the sa na at the end of the manga when the protagonist's background is revealed. Those readers who are itching to know more about the storyline would probably not be able to resist experiencing the ga imdiately.
This would likely boost both the sales of the ga console and the ga itself to so extent.
However, Takayuki wasn't entirely sure how much it would boost.
After discussing the main points, the two chatted about various other things for a while, then bid farewell after finishing their coffee.
As the chief editor, Ikeda Daigo had so important tasks to attend to, while Takayuki could now relax a little.
However, he would probably get busy again tomorrow.
Previously, he only needed to guide one team to develop a ga, but now it was three projects simultaneously.
There's the developnt of a new ga console, a long-term one-year developnt for a ga, and also the developnt of another short-term ga.
Fortunately, the new employees adapted quite well and had already started to gradually get on track according to their guidance.
Over the next week, Takayuki mainly focused his energy on the team developing the ga "Rocket Car", occasionally going to the other two teams to coordinate the work and determine the next developnt steps.
Because "Rocket Car" was a short-term project and relatively urgent, after Takayuki's initial guidance, they could handle it, although they occasionally encountered difficulties that required Takayuki's assistance, such as deciding the most perfect way to present a certain level.
With Takayuki's experience from various major gas in the future, he could easily handle such tasks.
anwhile, the first-week sales figures for the eighth ga, "Super Baseball Tournant," were finally released.
Total sales amounted to 74,242 units.
Equivalent to a daily sales figure starting from ten thousand.
When the employees in the company heard about this achievent, they were amazed.
What's the overall sales figure for the Nintendo Entertainnt System now? It seems to be just around a hundred and ten thousand, right?
And the first-week sales figure for "Super Baseball Tournant" directly exceeded seventy thousand.
The sales data for other ga software only matched this achievent with "Contra" and "Tetris".
And these two gas took more than a month to achieve it.
But "Super Baseball Tournant" only took a week.
When these employees heard the news, they even forgot to cheer.
It wasn't until Takayuki told them that each person would be rewarded with two months' salary that they suddenly woke up and then cheered loudly.
That night, they found a karaoke bar and sang songs all night to celebrate.
Takayuki wasn't surprised at all by such sales figures.
As a national movent, Japan's fervor for baseball is unimaginable to outsiders.
At its peak, nearly eighty percent of the people in the public polls favored baseball as their favorite sport.
In the previous world, baseball gas were also very popular in Japan, but as soon as they left the country, they would imdiately lose their appeal, and sotis the sales were not even enough to make up for a zero in Japan.
So from the beginning, Takayuki wasn't worried about the sales data of "Super Baseball Tournant" in Japan.
This is purely a cash grab, which just happens to provide ammunition for the company, lay the foundation for the upcoming ga and ga console developnt, and also boost the confidence of the employees.
Letting them know that their efforts have paid off.
However, this seventy thousand sales data is not the sales of a single store but an overall statistic.
So far, so electronic stores in the Tokyo tropolitan area have been willing to order ga consoles and gas for sale. However, they only dared to purchase in small quantities at the beginning. They ordered only two to three hundred units of the ga console, and only about fifty boxes of each ga, and they couldn't choose them separately. They had to purchase seven gas bundled together with the ga console, excluding the "Mario" that ca with the ga console.
But they didn't expect this thing to be so popular. As soon as they announced that they had ga consoles for sale, many people would imdiately rush to buy them.
Especially for so popular gas, such as "Contra" and "Tetris", they would basically be sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.
This made many stores regretful at first.
Regret why they didn't order so ga consoles and ga cartridges earlier.
However, when they wanted to negotiate with Gastar Electronic Entertainnt for large-scale purchases, the supply had already been distributed to more stores, and there wasn't much spare capacity left. They could only wait for the increase in production capacity.
This made these shop owners suddenly feel like they lost several billion yen.
The production of ga consoles was adequately prepared from the beginning, with an initial order of one million mainboards. The rest was just assembly work. On the other hand, the production of ga cartridges fell slightly behind.
Mainly because the chips required for cartridges were not mainstream products in the industry before. The manufacturing company had never mass-produced this product before.
It wasn't until the birth of the Nintendo Entertainnt System that its products suddenly had a good market, catching the company off guard.
But now, the subcontractor factories had begun to prepare to expand their production lines to specialize in producing ga cartridges for Takayuki's company.
There should be no more concerns about production capacity.
Apart from "Contra" and "Tetris", the sales of other gas were also quite good. The worst one should be "Dragon Quest", and many stores now had at least four to five hundred boxes of stock piling up.
The stores hoped they could stop receiving "Dragon Quest" for the ti being and receive more copies of other popular gas. They wanted to negotiate.
But Gastar Entertainnt didn't care at all. Now, the sales of gas were not up to your store's decision; it was up to our Gastar Entertainnt's decision.
And when Gastar Entertainnt made the decision, it was Takayuki's decision. He insisted that stores must purchase multiple gas alongside "Dragon Quest". Otherwise, their sales authorization would be imdiately revoked.
So things could be negotiated, but so things couldn't be. This was Takayuki's long-term plan.
However, because the profits from the gas were quite high, with a thirty percent profit margin for each ga.
In such a situation where the gas sold well and the profit margin was high, no store would dare to offend Gastar Entertainnt too much. Even if they might accumulate a lot of ga inventory, they had to accept it.
However, they would secretly complain about Gastar Entertainnt's high-handedness.
They had only been a ga company for just over a month, but they were so domineering. They had to force them to bundle the gas. But for the money, they could only accept it.
In business, this was nothing serious. It was all for profit.
And ti passed quickly, another month had passed, and "Rocket Car" was officially released after so promotion.
The popularity of racing gas in Japan couldn't compare to baseball, so naturally, the sales volu couldn't be compared either.
The first-week sales were just over twenty thousand, which made the employees who were excited about the high sales of "Super Baseball Tournant" calm down. They realized that not all gas would sell well. They had to be careful and ticulous in their production. It was a bit of a reality check, which was beneficial to them.
At the sa ti, the na of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt Co., Ltd. was also placed on the desk of a company president.
Suirui Electronics.
It was a large comprehensive multinational conglorate spanning multiple fields in Japan.
The fields it covered included audiovisual, electronic communications, information technology, film and television industry, semiconductor research and developnt, etc., making it the true giant in the electronic field in Japan.
It was also among the top in many fields.
At this mont, the president of Suirui Electronics Co., Ltd., who controlled such a huge company, was studying a docunt with the basic information of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt Co., Ltd. printed on the cover.
