Of course, scalpers were good for manufacturers. Otherwise, manufacturers would have many ways to get rid of scalpers. For example, for a certain mobile phone manufacturer, the easiest way was to use ID cards and facial recognition to make purchases. This way, most of the scalpers could be eliminated.
Of course, if some hard-core scalpers found hundreds of extras with their own ID cards at the same time, this trick wouldn't work.
Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Anyway, Boss Jia doesn't hate these scalpers. After all, they directly pushed up the sales volume of the pre-ordered version. When the time comes, as long as this result is announced in the media, it can immediately shock my mother.
Next was Pokemon Ruby: Emerald. Even though it was a transplanted game, Pokemon Ruby: Emerald still had sixty thousand pre-orders. After all, the pre-order version could give you a full race Yakuza for free. Moreover, this exchange code could be used for both the BG and PC versions.
The funny thing was that this exchange code was used for the PC version, but more than half of it was used for the GB version of Pokemon.
After Pokemon Ruby: Emerald was the equally popular Red Alert. However, the number of pre-orders dropped drastically from sixty thousand to nine thousand.
But this was to be expected. After all, unlike Diablo's shocking and Pokemon Ruby – Emerald, which attracted a large number of scalpers, even though Red Alert looked good and was fun to play, it didn't have the same effect as Diablo. Therefore, the scalpers were very cautious and didn't dare to enter the game. Otherwise, if the game didn't sell well, they would lose the tens of USD that they had paid for the pre-sale codes.
After that, it was Titanic. After all, the live broadcast of the sinking of the Titanic had achieved amazing viewership ratings. Now, almost the entire world knew about the Titanic and the upcoming Titanic movie. Therefore, this game that was similar to the Titanic still had a certain level of appeal.
After that, there were two games that no one cared about, namely the Legend of Sword and Fairy and the Night of Destiny. One of them was an RPG in the Huaxia style, while the other was a Japanese game for girls. For the rough men in the West, these games were not attractive at all.
Therefore, the Legend of Sword and Fairy only sold 892 pre-orders, and the Night of Fate only sold less than five hundred copies.
"If the FGO giants of the future knew about this, they would laugh themselves to death," Boss Jia couldn't help but mumble after seeing the numbers.
The sales of the GTX0000 graphics card made Boss Jia reveal the sales volume. The GTX0000 sold 5567 graphics cards on the spot.
That's right, the GTX0000 was in stock, and it was sold on the spot. Anyone who paid for it could have it.
The sales volume of 5567 might not seem high, but considering that the price of the GTX0000 was as high as 299 yuan, which was equivalent to one-third of the price of an Apple computer, the sales volume was definitely impressive. After all, there were only a total of 50,000 people who came to visit the GTX0000. To be able to make 110 of the 50,000 people spend money to buy the GTX0000 after experiencing its effects, the GTX0000's charm was definitely extraordinary.
What surprised Boss Jia and Old Huang even more was that at E3, more than thirty distributors from around the world came to Old Huang and asked for the distribution rights of the GTX0000 in their own countries. In some countries, there were even four or five distributors fighting for the distribution rights at the same time, and the one-time distribution fee was raised to a ridiculous amount of five hundred thousand dollars.
In the end, Old Huang signed the distribution rights agreement with more than twenty distributors around the world and received tens of millions of USD in distribution fees. This amount of money was enough to cover the development costs of the GTX0000.
July 4th. Although the E3 had ended, and the exhibition halls built by the video game manufacturers were all dismantled, the E3 craze was not over. At this moment, all the video game media from around the world were reporting what they saw and heard at the E3. The biggest coverage was not about Nintendo or Sony's new games, but about Daqian Games' products.
In this era, the video game industry was more ethical. Although the video game manufacturers would bribe the media, the media would not lie through their teeth.
This time, the game released by Da Qian Games was simply too eye-catching. The gaming media around the world were not stingy with their praises, especially for Diablo. They were all praising it to the skies.
In fact, all the video game editors from around the world went to the E3 and tried out Diablo. These professional video game editors who had played countless games were all addicted to the game.
It was said that the player who queued up twenty-one times in three days and didn't give up even when the library closed at eight in the evening was an editor from a video game media company. Therefore, the praises the game editors had for Diablo were all true.
According to their article, Diablo was the first game in history to achieve real real-time combat, real combat, invincible special effects, invincible graphics, invincible immersion, and more than a dozen other top games.
"Diablo is definitely the greatest game in the history of PC games. It's only a matter of time before it surpasses its brother, Humans and Warcraft. Humans and Warcraft will never surpass Diablo even if they release countless games. Blizzard will never be able to create a game that can surpass Diablo either," said a video game editor in his magazine.
Other than Diablo, Red Alert, Daqian Kartrider, Animal Forest Council, and Grand Theft Auto were all highly recommended by the media.
A media editor commented in the article, "Before the opening of E3, I thought that Da Qian Games was just one of the many game companies in the world. He might be lucky enough to develop a game like Pokemon, but that's it. He only needs to rely on Pokemon for the rest of his life."
"But after E3, I changed my mind. What I want to tell everyone is that Daqian Games is definitely one of the greatest video game companies in the world. The five games they released today are all groundbreaking innovations in their respective fields."
"Diablo has brought true real-time combat to the world."
"Red Alert has brought the world a true real-time strategy game of war!"
"The Daqian Racing Kart Racing Car has given the racing game, which has gradually become boring, a new form of fun!"
"Animal Forest Council. Oh my god, I can guarantee that this will be the game with the most female players in the future!"
"As for Grand Theft Auto, because I haven't played the demo version of the game, I can't be sure of the quality of the game. But just the introduction made my blood boil. As long as Grand Theft Auto doesn't let down the promotional video, it's definitely a game that's on par with Diablo. It's a game with no missions!"
"Praise Daqian, I can't wait to play these games!"
