Chapter 19 The Scary Speed! Penguin surprise!
"Master Ma, Lin Langtian is actually developing a game console, and it will be officially released!"
Penguin headquarters.
Li Yan, the project leader of the "Cute Pet Collection", went to Ma Huateng's office with a notebook: "He has even created the official Pokemon website, "He has even created the official Pokemon, and it'll be on sale at 8 p.m!"
Just like he said.
Wang Yan had already set up the web server early and built the official Pokemon website.
In addition to the upcoming GBA+ cassette sales function.
The official Pokemon website, as well as the players who upload videos to explain strategies, player forums, and official game announcements, etc.
It can be said that only you can not think about it, and there is nothing that you cannot find on the official Pokemon website!
Initially, exposure to these official websites was not enough, and not many players were registered online.
But since Wang Yan posted the message on V-Bo, and the GBA and game cartridges will be sold on the official website.
The number of registered users on the official website has increased severalfold!
"What game consoles were actually developed?"
The focus of Twisted Vine is not at all on building the official website of the game. All he cared about was the GBA: "This kind of concept machine should only be sold as a concept, and the amount that could be sold should be very limited."
The game host!
This concept, Penguin never thought about it.
Don't tell me that the Penguin didn't think about it.
Twisted Vine can be guaranteed: Even overseas game makers have never thought of developing a computer-challenging gaming platform.
In any case, Bluestar technology has developed very rapidly, and computer hardware can completely master everything.
Gaming companies only need to develop games that are suitable for computers.
Their minds are spent on how to make money by cutting the chives out of the game, which has the mind to develop a game console!
But now.
The emerging studio, Timberwolves, not only came up with the concept of a game console, but also applied it to develop and sell it!
This is unexpected.
However, he still believed that computers were the best destination for games, and it was impossible for the Timberwolves to mass-produce something like a GBA that sold the concept.
Selling a gimmick is enough.
"No, Mr Ma, the number of hosts listed on their official website is 50,000!"
It was a pity that things were completely different from what he expected.
As the first machine to market the game console concept, Wang Yan priced each GBA at 499 yuan.
It was not expensive, and it was the purchase price of a large-scale game like Blue Star.
The number of GBAs available for sale on Pokemon's official website is 50,000 full units!
This amount exceeded the expectations of Li Yan and the Twisted Vine.
"Fifty thousand? What are you kidding?"
Twisted Vine's face was filled with disbelief: "If I remember correctly, it hasn't been ten days since Pokemon was released?"
In ten days, 50,000 gaming consoles like GBA were produced?
How did this happen?
Come to think of it, there is only one reason!
That is, long before the official release of "Pokemon", Lin Langtian already had plans to promote the game console concept!
GBA is ready for production.
"Are they so confident?"
Li Yan was also surprised: "Aren't the forest wolves afraid of the cruel death" Pokemon "?"
Whether GBA can sell well depends on the reputation and sales of the game "Pokemon".
Once the PC side of "Pokemon" hits the streets, this 50,000 GBA will make studios of this level in the Timberwolves sky lose to death!
Except for.
"Don't worry, I see the description of the GBA at the bottom of the official website ..."
Ma Hua Teng made a clear statement: "The performance of this machine is very ordinary, and many games on the market can kill it in seconds."
"If I'm not mistaken, the GBA should be something the Timberwolves rushed out of the sky and couldn't sell."
"Master Ma, you're right, the performance of this machine is too bad!"
Li Yan also caught a glimpse: "How could Lin Langtian find this kind of machine for sale? And that's still 50,000 units ?!"
"This thing can be sold for half. ah no, it can be sold for a tenth, I'll chop off my head and give it to the Timberwolves to play as a ball!"
Li Yan scoffed at the prospect of the GBA.
As far as GBA performance is concerned, even many low-end gaming laptops cannot beat it.
Why sell out?
Fifty thousand more?
Take the first one to sell 50,000 units!
"The price is not bad, but the quantity is too much, the performance is not enough ..."
In the middle of the round, the official GBA launch time has arrived.
Nor does he keep saying the Timberwolves game console's failure, and just wait for the joke and it's over.
Pokemon official website.
The GBA sales button just went from green to pre-sale to red to start the sale, and then turned gray in the next second.
Grey text box says: SOLD OUT!
Li Yan: (i;)
Twisted Vine:!!!∑(?e? ⁇ ) ⁇
"This... What is this? The official Pokemon website system is wrong?"
Li Yan's response was quick: "Master Ma, did their website server crash?"
"Maybe."
Twisted Vine nodded:
"The popularity of Pokemon games is not low, and the number of users logging into the official website at the same time should be too large, causing the website's servers to crash."
Other than the server crash, Ma Huateng could not think of any other plausible explanation.
If you say that this is 50,000 GBA units sold out in one second?
Don't make jokes.
How is this possible!
But soon, the two of them realized something different.
If the official Pokemon website is down, why is the forum on the official website still running normally?
Some people even post on forums that they have taken physical tapes of GBA games and "Pokemon Red"!
With the forum on the official website, more and more showing stickers have grabbed the GBA console + physical cassettes of the game.
The reply function at the bottom of the post is also completely lag-free.
Twisted Vine and Li Yan, who were in an emoji state, came up with a bold idea.
"Could possibly... These 50,000 gaming consoles actually sold out in one second?!"
"No way! GBA performance is really not as good as a regular computer. How did it sell so fast?"
The fact.
The main focus of GBA is not performance at all.
Even in Wang Yan's last life, the performance of a game console could not be compared to a computer.
The reason why the sale of gaming consoles is guaranteed is because it is actually a game owned by the//Du platform!
Take GBA selling 50,000 units in a matter of seconds as an example.
Who is in a hurry for GBA performance?
All players will go to the second episode of "Pokemon Red/Green", or they will all go to Mewtwo and Mew!
