As time goes by, Children's Day soon arrives.
In the room in Magic City, Zhang Yi and Wang Han were sitting in front of the computer.
The official website of Nebula Games is constantly refreshed.
"I don't know how many goods there will be in the first batch." Zhang Yi said while browsing the official website of Nebula Games.
"Who knows, but no matter how much it is, let's talk about it first." Wang Han responded.
Nebula Games has not announced how much Switch is available.
But for them, they have been looking forward to it for a long time and are naturally ready to buy it immediately.
In particular, the two games "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" are exclusive games that can only be played on the switch.
If you haven’t experienced it, it’s actually not bad.
But the key point is that at the previous gameplay exhibition, both of them have actually felt the fun of these two games.
It seems that these two games are not as stunning and shocking as "Red Dead Redemption".
But when you actually get started playing it, it’s very interesting.
It would be really depressing if this starter wasn't picked up.
And to be honest, the price of switch is not only not expensive, it can even be said to be significantly cheaper.
It is this related configuration that makes people feel a little desperate.
At the gameplay exhibition, Zhang Yi never expected that the switch's configuration would be so low.
After all, the performance of both "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" is pretty good.
"Hurry up, we have one minute to prepare!"
"It has been refreshed like crazy, but now the anti-scalper methods are getting stronger and stronger. Unlike in the past, when you grab a mobile phone or device, you can't live or die."
Zhang Yi and Wang Han looked at the time, constantly refreshing the web interface, and chatting at the same time.
When the time was up, the two people immediately clicked on the payment interface and prepared to make the payment.
"No! Why is it sold out? It shouldn't be! The official website of Nebula Games uses the latest detection tools!" As a frequent online shopper, Wang Han was stunned when he looked at the interface in front of him.
One second and this is sold out? What the hell!
"Hey! I got it!" Zhang Yi next to him smiled.
His hand speed, are you kidding me
"Did you get it? Let me ask Lao Song if they got it." Wang Han couldn't help but feel depressed. Although the two of them were together, the key was that the game could only be played by one person!
Although "Super Mario: Odyssey" has a two-player mode that can be played together, "Animal Forest" cannot. She had learned about the two-player mode of the game before, and the other person was a complete follower.
Soon Song Ren, Qiao Yi, and Wang Yifan all connected to the chat group.
After talking about it, except for Lao Song who directly chose to queue up and buy one through offline channels, Qiao Yi and Wang Yifan also didn't get it.
"What's going on? Isn't the stock quantity too small?"
"Yeah, it'll be out of stock in a second."
Several people were very depressed.
… …
There are many players who have experienced this.
The previous promotion of switch was not big but not small either.
At least some players who like games, especially those who like Nebula games, have already paid attention to the switch handheld console early.
but now
This special one is totally out of stock!
Following the comments on major forums, countless players began to fall into a violent stage.
"What the hell? Is this a hungry marketing campaign by Nebula Games, or is it a scalper? I just refreshed the page and it was out of stock!"
"Out of stock +1! I have already clicked into the payment interface, but the payment speed is not as fast as others, I cried!"
"How much stock does Nebula Games have in stock? Not to mention the console, both the controller and game cards have been sold out."
"Let's see... Damn it, it's true! As for that, the converters are also sold out!"
"Is there any brother from a big city? Are there any products in offline video game stores?"
"There is a hammer. I vomited and queued for a day, and by the time I was gone, it was gone. According to the people here in the video game city, the next supply will not be until next week, and each person can only reserve one."
Facing the riots of players, Chen Xu also responded at this time and reprinted the news on the official blog.
'To answer the questions that everyone is concerned about, first of all, it is not thirsty marketing, but the goods have indeed been sold out. '
'Switch's initial stocking volume is 500,000 consoles, 200,000 pairs of joy-, and 50,000 converters. '
'The physical cartridges of "Animal Forest" and "Super Mario Odyssey" each have 300,000 copies. '
'But now they are all sold out, but please rest assured that a new batch of consoles, peripherals and cassettes have been urgently produced and will be available on major e-commerce platforms next week. '
Countless players were dumbfounded when they saw Chen Xu’s official blog.
Is this really out of stock
So fast!
In the lounge of Nebula Games, a group of people are playing various games on the switch.
"Super Mario: Odyssey", "Hot Kitchen" and "Two for Two".
"Mr. Chen, how much are the next batch of switch supplies? Players online feel like they are about to riot!" Meng Zuo, who was leaning on the sofa, also looked surprised.
Like many game designers in the industry, he never expected that the switch could be such a success.
The shipment of 500,000 on the first day was sold out immediately.
It’s simply terrifying!
"It's actually beyond my expectation. The next batch... well, it's only 150,000, but Yan Xiong has already contacted the OEM manufacturer. It will definitely be out of stock in June, but wait until July It will be much better." Chen Xu also said with a smile.
Although players scolded me in various ways at night, it also proved that the switch was indeed selling well.
In fact, according to Chen Xu's idea at the beginning, he thought that 500,000 units could be sold in two or three days.
After all, the popularity of Switch in the previous life was mainly due to Lao Ren's many years of management, and the escort game has a historical background.
In addition, considering that in the parallel world, although the switch has unique attributes, it has no feelings for IP, and handheld consoles are not considered mainstream.
Chen Xu thinks that 500,000 yuan should be almost enough, but now it seems that it is still a bit low.
Nebula Games' good reputation over the years, coupled with the temptation of new games at the Gameplay Expo, has directly led to the current situation.
"And it's not just domestic players. Overseas players are also quite restless." Meng Zuo smiled and took out his mobile phone to show it.
Major gaming media websites also reported on it.
That is the new switch console for Nebula Games. Many overseas players have also petitioned on the official blog to launch its corresponding market as soon as possible.
Many rich people even expressed their willingness to pay a premium of five to six times to buy a switch.
As for the purpose, it is naturally to experience the games of Nebula Games on this new console.
Moreover, the unique queuing attribute of switch has also attracted many overseas players.
"There are plans for overseas, but the initial supply will definitely be domestic." Chen Xu shook his head and said with a smile.
Overseas, Chen Xu was naturally not unprepared.
It's just that overseas machines are different from domestic machines.
Various reviews are required, including games on the overseas version of switch.
At the same time, there is another more important reason, which is that it is different from games on digital platforms.
If the switch is to be sold overseas, we also need to discuss e-commerce and offline channels.
If we really want to fully roll out overseas, it will take at least about two months.
After all, the large amount of goods in the early stage must be provided to domestic players.
So during this period, let overseas players have a taste of the pie.
Wait patiently for two months and you will be able to eat delicious and hot cakes.
