"Notify our factory to speed up production, and our ND sales in the island country will definitely explode, and we will try to enter the European market next month."

"By the way, if the promotional expenses in the North American market are increased, the profit margin of this product is still good. The era of our Sega is coming."

"President, I have something to tell you right away. Our daily sales in North America have fallen below 1,000 units." The subordinate lowered his head and reported.

"What?! What's going on? What's wrong? Is it a quality problem?" Sega's president, Nakayama Nakao, was shocked. If it's a quality problem, then the products produced now will become defective products and have been sold. also face the possibility of a recall.

"It's not a quality issue."

Hearing this answer, Zhongshan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked: "What is the reason?"

"It is an authoritative game magazine in the United States. It has made some detailed analysis of our products and listed our advantages and disadvantages."

"And players can't stand our shortcomings. Behind this magazine, there is a shadow of Nintendo."

Masao Nakayama slapped the table violently, Nintendo, it's so hateful!

"Then, has our sales in the island country market been affected?" The island country is the base camp, and it is also where Nintendo has the strongest strength.

"We haven't found it yet. But we are temporarily at a disadvantage in the competition with Zhiduoxing Z2. It is estimated that Zhiduoxing is also promoting and attacking our shortcomings."

"Hmph, then you won't increase our propaganda efforts? I need to teach you about this!"

Zhong Shan was still full of confidence in their ND, but after only one week, he was dumbfounded.

"What did you say? Our daily sales in the island country market has fallen below 1,000 units? There is no improvement in the United States? What's going on, didn't you ask you to increase your publicity?"

"President, it's not that our publicity is not in place, the main reason is that we don't have any interesting new games on it. Zhiduoxing launched a game called Pokemon on their Z2. This game has attracted many players, and the popularity is not weak. From the original electronic pet."

"Many players who bought electronic pets at the beginning have now started to buy Zhiduoxing Z2. The popularity of this game is also rising, and it is likely to reach the point where it is close to Tetris."

"And Zhiduoxing also announced that their new handheld will be launched in North America next week, so many players who want to buy a handheld in the North American market are waiting and watching."

Zhongshan Yanxiong took a puff of cigarette with trembling hands: "How many NDs do we have in stock? How much publicity cost have we spent so far?"

"The inventory has exceeded 1.8 million units, and the current promotional cost is equal to the profit. Our total sales at this time have reached 1 million units."

"Go ahead with the notice, stop producing ND immediately, and sell the current sales first. Also, I will give a bonus of 10 million yen to anyone who can help us sell the inventory within the company!"

...

"What are you playing? Since when is this game available on Zhiduoxing? Doesn't it not support changing the cassette?" Someone looked curiously at the handheld game console in his friend's hand. Why is there no such game on his Zhiduoxing Z?

And why the screen of Zhiduoxing Z in the hands of friends is so bright, it is very clear to see, even in the case of direct sunlight, the screen will not be blurred.

"This is a new version of mine, Zhiduoxing Z2, which supports the replacement of game cards. This game is also included in the machine, called Pokemon. Look, this is Pikachu, which is very fun."

"Pikachu, isn't that an electronic pet? Oh, it's produced by a company. Let me play with that?"

"No, I haven't played enough. You have to play and buy it yourself. I bought this one after saving pocket money for a long time, and I even sold the previous game console."

When the other party heard it, his eyes lit up. Yes, you can sell the old handhelds so that you can have money to buy new ones. Well, let’s sell the old ones to the little brother in the neighbor’s house.

Didn't he always want one, but he didn't have enough money, so he bought a second-hand one and played with it.

Anyway, he had had enough of the old games, so he just changed to a new one. Since the game card can be replaced, it means that there will definitely be more fun games in the future, so you won't get bored.

Zhang Yang also hesitated at the beginning, whether the launch of Pokemon on a black and white screen would cause the game to be criticized by players, after all, electronic pets are also available on color screens.

However, after the listing, the sales situation still gave Zhang Yang confidence, especially the rising sales against the market, which made him very satisfied.

The factory will be notified immediately to step up production. If the American market performs well, then three shifts will be required to ensure production capacity.

After all, Nintendo's new GB is about to be released, so we have to sell some before that to lay the foundation, and then we can fight in the ring.

As for the current fight with ND, Zhi Duoxing has already won, and the reason is the word-of-mouth statistics of the players in the magazine.

After the shortcomings of ND were exposed, it immediately became uninterested. And ND failed to stimulate the sales of Sega's 16-bit game cartridges, which also dissatisfied many third-party game companies in the Sega camp. It was not what you promised us before. We produced a lot of them, but they didn't sell them at all.

According to the agreement, Sega will compensate those third-party game companies, and the amount of compensation is not low. It's okay if it's just one family or two, but Sega's camp is also very large, and this compensation alone will make Sega suffer a lot.

Of course, if sales can increase in the future, Sega can get back some money, but now that everyone plays 32-bit games, who still likes to play 16-bit games?

Sega's failure was the combination of handheld and video game consoles. Nintendo separated it and succeeded, Sega insisted on doing the opposite, and it failed.

In fact, not only Sega, but the PSP in the future also wanted to challenge Nintendo, but the result was still a failure, no money was made, and even a loss.

In fact, the most critical point is that Sega launched a new handheld, but did not launch a new game, which made players' interest drop a lot in an instant.

Then, the shortcomings of Sega's handheld were magnified by Nintendo and Zhiduoxing. Even Sega was fighting back, but the effect was extremely poor.

How important a fun game is, just look at how many gigabytes Nintendo has sold with Super Mario Land and Tetris.

Let's look at the current Zhiduoxing Z2, relying on a Pokemon game, which is liked by the majority of players.

Now when you walk on the street or enter a school, you can hear many people discussing Pokemon, and these people have either bought the Z2 Z2 or are planning to buy it.

The popularity of Pokemon is already unstoppable!
