Chapter 527: Chapter 171: We Don’t Sell Cartridges, We’re Just Cartridge Movers!_6

The experience center is meant to provide services, with the goal of expanding through a small-scale, multi-chain approach, and then providing top-notch service to players.

Once players obtain a pleasant gaming experience and consistently face a shortage of available seats, they naturally develop the desire to make a purchase and continue playing at home.

And even a simple cost analysis will reveal that buying the game to continue playing at home is more economical than experiencing the entire game in the store.

"But we don’t have authorization from the top player, we probably can’t just sell their cartridges in stores..." Ma Yang was somewhat hesitant.

Yet, Cai Xing laughed mysteriously.

"Think of it from a different angle."

"We don’t sell top player cartridges in our store, we simply offer a purchasing service."

"Players recognize and appreciate top player games at our offline experience center and wish to purchase their products for a deeper experience."

"We naturally don’t have the right to sell these items."

"But what if we only guide customers on how to place orders on the top player’s official website?"

"Once they make a purchase, we provide them with the product in advance. From start to finish, we don’t bypass the top player’s official website. For every sale we make, the top player makes one as well."

"We don’t sell cartridges, we’re simply cartridge transporters."

Ma Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed, they had no right to sell directly.

And to take a step back,

even if they approached the top player for authorization,

with their considerable size and business, they might not be interested in our small-scale endeavors.

There are already enough online sales channels, and if they valued physical sales, they would have undertaken them long ago.

The ongoing delay in entering the market surely meant that it was just a matter of time before someone else would spot the opportunity.

"General Cai, that’s brilliant!" Ma Yang immediately gave a thumbs-up.

More than 20 days have passed since the Switch and the three major supporting titles were launched.

During these 20 days, Ke Jin was constantly monitoring the system backend’s sales figures at high intensity.

Based on his precise calculations before,

by the end of the task, Ke Jin estimated that the total sales volume should be just over 4 million units.

The revenue would be around eight hundred million.

Looking at the data changes from a few days ago,

the overall sales volume was continuously decreasing.

Last week’s sales data showed that the three titles had a combined sale of 165,300 units on Monday.

By Tuesday, the figure had decreased to 163,100 units,

and on Wednesday, it dropped further to 159,800 units.

After all, in the entire online market, players who were going to buy had gradually done so.

And as for the offline market, Ke Jin had no immediate plans to explore it; besides the headquarters and Oasis, the top player had no official offline experience centers.

This meant that the sales figures could only go down.

Until he successfully completed his mission.

But in recent days, Ke Jin discovered something strange.

The sales data... started to inexplicably rise again.

And it wasn’t a sharp increase.

It was in the digits after the decimal point.

If you weren’t paying attention, you could easily miss it.

For example, the overall sales had fallen to 149,100 units the day before yesterday,

matching the curve of a slight decline each day.

But then, unexpectedly, the figure began to rise the day before,

up to 149,300 units.

An increase of 200 units!

And then, by yesterday,

the number changed again!

It went straight up to 149,700 units.

Staring intently at the system backend until just before dawn today,

Ke Jin waited for the leaderboard refresh at midnight.

The numbers displayed led to a slight shift in Ke Jin’s mindset.

150,300 units.

It was still rising!

"Hiss..."

"This is strange."

"Why has the sales volume been increasing lately..."
