Chapter 106 Spike

On August 1st, after collective discussion by Duke, the entrepreneurial team of entrepreneurs, the Ancient Legend Brain Wave Game Package, which is priced at $299, was officially launched. The first batch of limited edition 80,000 sets will be launched. From the early morning of August 1st, players from all over the country can purchase them online. This news has been released through various channels. For players who are looking forward to it, this is good news.

Although the market response from the preliminary survey was good, the current inventory of brain wave game helmets produced by Mi Company is so much, Duke and the others have to sell it in limited quantities. I don’t know how long it will take for these 80,000 sets to be sold. According to the number of potential customers predicted, the Duke team should be able to sell it within one to two weeks.

After all, so much publicity has been laid before. Through more than 6,000 volunteers who have helped to experience it personally, the playability of the game has been highly recognized. Judging from the survey, the demonstration communication effect of these pioneers is very good.

The kit sold for public release this time is only 299 US dollars. The entire kit includes a brain wave helmet, a stand-alone version of the Ancient Legends fighting game, and an annual annual usage fee for the Ancient Legends online version. Relatively speaking, the price is not too outrageous.

Of course, compared with Duke and their original expected price, the important function of online battle function has been added, which has been greatly improved compared with the previous stand-alone version.

Considering the popularity of pre-market investigations, the price of $299 is quite reasonable. After all, the brain wave helmet can continue to be used in new games in the future. Compared with the mindsky company's brain wave helmet, this price is also very competitive.

On the evening of August 1st, Duke, Shu Ya and others gathered together and stayed nervously next to the computer. The official release at 12 o'clock tonight is time to truly test everyone's results. What will happen to this brain wave game market reaction? You can see the clues tonight. It can be said that success or failure is tonight.

Although the prediction is beautiful, the real effect depends on the official release situation before knowing. If the players' reactions are not enthusiastic at the first time after the official sale are opened, then all predictions will be in vain.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, there is still an hour before the official release. "Duke, how about it? Are you ready?" As time approached, Shu Ya asked nervously.

Although Duke has told you about all the details of online sales several times, the current rental cloud service hosts are enough to support 100,000 concurrent users, and the entire optimized e-commerce system can support a million-level concurrent users.

In other words, Duke can easily upgrade the system to one million concurrent users just by using cloud service hosts to expand the capacity. However, Duke feels that there is no need at all. In his opinion, the support for the 100,000 concurrent users has taken into account a huge redundancy. According to the forecast of completing these 80,000 sets in one to two weeks in advance, it would be great to have 10,000 concurrent capacity at peak times.

Considering that it is the first launch today, Duke still magnifies this estimate ten times, hoping to completely prevent unexpected congestion on the e-commerce website of Mi Company. For online transactions, the first experience of users is very important, and Duke does not want to fail in this detail.

"No problem. I have tested it in the early stage. The entire system is very complete. The rented cloud service host can fully support the concurrent visits of 100,000. Now I checked the online users. "Duke checked the current number of users in the system. "Ah, there are more than 50,000 users online now. It looks good. At this time, so many customers came. It seems that the enthusiasm of the players is beyond our expectations."

This is very good news. It seems that the early activities have taken effect.

"Wow, so many people are waiting to buy it now. Do you think you will sell all these 80,000 sets tonight?" Susanna heard more than 50,000 online users, her eyes shining. Judging from the ever-rippling huge breasts, she was very excited at this moment. After all, this is also the time to test the publicity effect of her market manager, and she couldn't help but not nervous.

"I don't know, we didn't do any low-priced promotions. I think most of the people who are coming here now may come to make soy sauce," Duke said casually, but the word "to make soy sauce" is really not easy to translate, and the literal translation makes Susanna and Selena feel a little confused.

"That is to say these people are watching the fun," Shu Ya explained with a smile. After Duke said this, her tension in her heart was relieved a lot.

"No, who would be so idle when it's so late?" Selena said she didn't understand. Foreigners don't have much habit of watching the fun.

Seeing that the number of online users is a bit large, Duke began to consider whether to expand the system's concurrent user margin.

At 11:20, Duke refreshed the number of online users in the system again, "Hmm? It seems something is wrong. Why is the number of users increasing so quickly? Now it's almost 80,000 users online," Duke said in surprise. "No, I have to expand the capacity of the system. If it continues to increase this way, it seems that the system crashes in advance before the official sales."

Duke immediately logged into the cloud service host management interface and expanded the capacity by three times to 300,000 concurrent support. Although it costs several times more monthly rent to do so, it is obviously more important to ensure that the entire system does not crash.

"Haha, it seems that the situation is very good." Shu Ya and others were even happier when they heard this number. "It is very likely that they will sell out 80,000 units tonight." Shu Ya said happily. If it was sold out in one night, it means that the potential of this product is much greater than what you had imagined before.

Susanna and Selena are of course very clear about this. So everyone's mood is getting more and more relaxed as the number increases. The product is popular and the product is selling well. There is no doubt about the prospects of the product. There is no need to care about it anymore. Now everyone is beginning to discuss how long it takes to sell these 80,000 sets.

At 11:30, Duke refreshed the number of people online in the system again, 217,358. Seeing this number soaring so fast, Duke was shocked when he saw it. There were more than 200,000 people?!

When Duke saw this number at first sight, he could hardly believe his eyes. He counted the number of digits again, and yes, it was indeed more than 200,000.

What is this situation? Are you going to play with a quick kill tonight?

The beauties around the computer were a little unbelievable when they saw this number at first sight. This was a little too popular. Tonight I had already given everyone too many surprises. You should know that there were only 80,000 units for sale tonight. At this time, users who came in did not dare to think that they were watching the fun. This was clearly a army of people who were preparing to rush to buy it.

I was worried that I couldn't sell much, but now I suddenly became worried about how to comfort these enthusiasts who were busy with vigilance. This change was too sudden.

"It seems that we are not prepared enough today," Duke smiled bitterly, "From this attitude, most of our customers will be disappointed tonight."

"We are still inexperienced and did not make the market forecast in advance. How much potential consumption has we wasted today?" Susanna continued Duke's words with great regret. Speaking of which, she, the market manager, has dereliction of duty and has seriously distorted the market forecast.

"This is a good thing," Shu Ya said with a smile. "Maybe we should consider expanding our production capacity again. We will discuss this production capacity expansion with Dr. Clement later."

Supply shortage is of course a good thing. But for Duke, too many enthusiasts is also a pain and joy, because in this way, the number of expanded concurrent users is not enough. Fortunately, I kept watching it tonight, otherwise the system would have collapsed according to the original planned capacity.

Seeing the users coming, Duke saw that the situation was wrong, and the expanded concurrent capacity of 300,000 yuan was too unsafe. He was determined to simply drive to one million yuan to support it. This was already the limit of the system. If there were more, Duke would have no choice but to think about it.

Although Duke has to pay an extra month of leasing this million concurrent capacity to cope with this blowout, it is impossible to spend a lot of money depending on the current situation.

Fortunately, my friend used a cloud service host, so the system is so convenient to expand. If it was the early server rental, I don’t know how many times the system has crashed.

After the expansion reached its limit, Duke refreshed it every 3 minutes, and saw that online users were basically soaring in ten thousand every time. By 11:55, the number of registered online users had exceeded 700,000!

This number completely exceeded everyone's imagination, so Duke and others looked at the huge number on the screen in a daze and couldn't speak. Those who rushed to this point were definitely not idle people who were watching the crowd. These 80,000 sets will definitely be killed instantly tonight!

Sure enough, at twelve o'clock, the peak number of online users exceeded 800,000. Then in the blink of an eye, Duke refreshed the data and found that 80,000 sets of brain wave games had been sold out!
Chapter completed!
