Super Tycoon

? After New Year's Day, Zhang Yang is on holiday. The 35xs students all went home, but Zhang Yang stayed in the capital.

Even Suony s1, which was the latest to go on the market, was sold for a month, and the others were sold for more than a month. When the sales data came out, Zhang Yang was stunned.

Sunny's s1 sales have reached 500,000 units! In just one month, only the island country's sales statistics have reached 500,000 units!

This data is not outstanding compared to Nintendo's fc, sfc, etc. at the time, but there were few competitors at that time, and Nintendo was considered to be thriving.

Now there are many competitors, Suni's products are still the latest to market, but they have suppressed nec and Sega, and the sales of Songxia and Zhiduoxing in the island country have fallen to the bottom.

Zhang Yang remembers that it took five or six months for Sunny s1 and Sega Saturn in his previous life to sell more than one million units. Their products are all accumulated over a long period of time, especially the s1, which sold more than 100 million units worldwide in the previous life!

After entering the game industry in the previous life, Suuni created a series of records. Their machines are famous for their super graphics processing capabilities and a large number of games.

After the launch of the second generation, it suppressed Nintendo for a while. It was not until the emergence of Microsoft, the spoiler, and the rise of online games and mobile games, that Suoney's game console business began to decline.

But the current sales data tells Zhang Yang that Sunny has exploded ahead of schedule, and the sales of Sega, Songxia and other companies have also exploded. 35xs

The reason why Suuni was so popular in the previous life was not only the machine’s outstanding performance and numerous games, but also because the price was the cheapest among 32-bit machines and it supported 3D functions.

And because of the emergence of Zhiduoxing, Songxia’s game consoles have been cut in price in advance, and by a large margin. Sunny's price advantage is not great, but with a 3D function, it beats the pack.

"Mr. Zhang, the global sales of Zhiduoxing g have begun to decline. We have done a lot of promotions and spent a lot of advertising expenses, but this decline cannot be stopped." Zhang Benxiong sat opposite Zhang Yang, and he was also very anxious. .

I originally thought that the performance of Zhiduoxing g last year was better than expected, and the global sales may exceed 10 million units, or even 20 million units.

At that time, Zhiduoxing Company will definitely become one of the world-class giants of game machine manufacturers.

But now, after more than ten months on the market, the sales volume will reach 3 million units. Now because players have too many choices, sales have plummeted.

Of course, this sales statistic does not include the mainland China and Eastern European markets. It is said that the Eastern European market has not yet started selling, and the sales in the Chinese mainland are also very average.

In the next period of time, sales will decline to a certain extent, will enter a stable period, and then decline again, which is the time when this machine is about to be discontinued.

Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Benxiong: "Don't worry, this has already met our expectations. Our performance is indeed not as good as s1, or even 3do, c-fx, and Saturn. It can be said that on 32-bit game consoles, our That is, it is stronger than the Atari model.”

"But why we have been able to suppress 3do, have you thought about this problem?"

Seeing that Zhang Benxiong didn't react for a long time, Zhang Yang could only answer by himself: "Because we have more and more interesting games. Didn't you see that our kof93 retail sales have exceeded 100,000 copies?"

"It means that the CD given out at random is broken, and they are willing to spend money to buy another one to play, which proves that this series of games is a success."

"kof94 has also been developed and will be on sale soon. I believe this game will bring us more players."

"Of course, there are also sequels of popular games such as Metal Slug 2,

These are not the works of dog-tailed mink, but works developed with heart. "

The reason why the sales of Suuni s1 in the previous life can rise against the market is because they have a lot of fun games in the follow-up, covering almost all types of games.

Many players have found that they can play almost all games by buying an s1, which cannot be done by buying other brands of game consoles.

Even after Nintendo launched a 64-bit game console, it still couldn't reverse this trend, and was stepped on by Suuni s2.

At that time Suuni was extremely beautiful, let Nintendo tear up the agreement with us, and we will make you regret it now. But in fact, if Nintendo did not renege on the contract, Suni would still eat into the market, and it would be Nintendo's market directly.

So as long as Zhiduoxing company has fun games in the future, more consumers will buy Zhiduoxing g.

"Mr. Zhang, Suni's 3D technology is very advanced. Can't we think of a way to upgrade the product? It's okay to connect with a piece of equipment."

Zhang Yang shook his head. Outreach equipment, this is the solution adopted by Sega and other companies. In fact, it will take up a lot of space and not many people buy it. With that kind of effort, it is better to upgrade the product directly and launch a new generation of video game consoles.

"It's like this now. In terms of hardware technology, we are actually behind. In terms of software development, this is not bad. The next step we have to do is to obtain more game authorizations, so that more games can be played. play on our consoles, giving consumers more choice."

No matter how fun a stand-alone game is, it will always get boring. If you can play different games every day, or if you get tired of a game, you can launch new games, which will continue to attract players.

Fortunately, the technology licensing of vcd has now been negotiated with several companies in Europe and the United States, and they will be exchanged for some first-class technology licensing, which is very useful for both Wanyan Company and Zhiduoxing Company.

It is enough for Wanyan Company to obtain technology authorization and then produce some electronic components for Zhiduoxing Company. upgrade.

In Zhang Yang's view, the current Zhi Duo Xing g has too many shortcomings. But he still insisted on pushing it to the market quickly, because he knew that it would be more passive to push it to the market at this time, and the global sales may really be less than one million units.

Relying on some hardware technical support provided by Kurishenko, it finally succeeded. The development of the next generation of game consoles is also on the agenda.

Seeing that Zhang Yang had already made a decision, Zhang Benxiong didn't say anything more. Even if they only sell game discs in the future, they will still earn a lot.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if the sales of game consoles can continue to grow.

It's a pity that now it seems that only Suony s1 has full stamina, and other game consoles are not good. Some game companies even regretted it. They knew it would be better to learn from Nintendo and directly skip 32-bit and develop 64-bit game consoles.

Zhang Yang watched Zhang Benxiong leave, Suni's s1 is now performing more fiercely than in his previous life, but who said that Zhi Duoxing's sales potential has really come to an end?
