Super Tycoon

At the end of October, the sales volume of Nintendo's N64 in North America has exceeded 2.5 million units, and the sales are still very hot. In the island country, the sales volume of this game console has successfully exceeded 3 million units and is still increasing rapidly.

During this period of time, whether it was Sunny’s PS, 3DO, or Zhiduxing G, the sales were very poor. Even Sega, after merging with Bandai, its stock price soared, but the sales of their products were also limited.

However, Sega announced the next game development plan, which is very attractive to many anime fans.

At this time, companies are trying to find ways to increase the sales of their products, either by reducing prices, or by adding external devices to improve performance, or by launching exclusive games that attract players. There is no other way.

On Zhiduoxing’s side, Zhang Weiguang once suggested launching an external device to increase the performance of the game console, but was rejected by Zhang Yang.

A new external device can indeed improve the performance of the game, but what is the price? Don't think it's just an external device, but the cost is not low. If you calculate it comprehensively, the full set of game console equipment of Zhiduoxing is twice as expensive as Nintendo's N64.

Why don't others just buy better ones? With the money saved, you can buy some fun games.

At this time, Souni's previous strategy took effect. They launched a new game. The game's sales exceeded one million copies in less than a month after it was launched in the island country. After it was launched in the United States, the performance was even more amazing.

The popularity of the game has attracted many players who have never bought a Suuni PS before. In order to be able to play this exclusive Suuni game, they also took the opportunity to buy the Suuni PS1 which has been reduced in price again.

Now the price of Souni PS1 has been lowered again, and it has become 189 US dollars, and the price in the island country market is 18,800 yen, which is basically the cost price.

They also began to imitate Nintendo's strategy, the host does not make money, but relies on games to make money. If an average console player buys five games, they can make a fortune. If they can buy more than eight games, the profit from the PS project may become one of Sooney’s main revenues.

Previously, Suuni's main revenue products were music series products, such as Walkmans and CD players. VCRs, TVs and other products also include computer-related products. Although these also make money, they are much less than music products. The film and television industry, which Sunny invested heavily in, is actually losing money at present, but it has driven the sales of video recorders and video tapes, and they don't feel that they are losing money for the time being.

This cost a lot of money to enter the game industry, and Sunny is also full of ambitions. Now that Sega's products are hitting the street, the electronic giant Songxia who has the same idea as them is also very mediocre, but their PS1,

Now it's selling better and better.

In the 32-bit machine market, it is now also divided into two grades. The first grade is naturally their Sony PS. They have 3D games, which is beyond the reach of other game console manufacturers.

Relying on this feature, their 3D games are also selling well. And they crazily recruited third-party game platforms. Although they launched many games with poor reputation, there were also many fun games that attracted many fans.

In addition, Sunny's game console system is doing well, and the price is now cheap, and it has begun to open up the European market, and sales are rising rapidly.

What makes Sunny depressed is that because Zhiduoxing G is compatible with their game discs, sales have also increased rapidly.

The prices of the two sides are similar at this time, and Sunny can't figure out why players don't buy their PS1, which has better performance. Isn't it just that the handle is a little bit worse, but isn't the picture experience better?

But Suuni soon understood, because there are more games that can be played on Zhiduoxing G. Some exclusive games, which could only be played on Souni's game console, can now be played on Zhiduoxing G as well.

Sunny regretted that they shouldn't have exchanged games with Zhiduoxing at the beginning, and they felt that they were cheated by Zhiduoxing. But the lawsuit has been going on for a long time, and there is still no answer.

It was just an accident that Zhiduoxing insisted, because VCD is already compatible with CDs, so although Zhiduoxing G is compatible with Suony's CD game discs, it has nothing to do with them, it is a technical factor.

Moreover, there is no law indicating that compatibility is illegal. When Soni exchanged games with Zhiduoxing Company, the code of the game development platform was included, which should also be one of the contents of the transaction.

Relying on some exclusive series of games, such as KOF series, Metal Slug series, and today's Urban Street Fighting series, Zhiduoxing G still has many loyal players.

These few games, people never get tired of playing, and in some game publications, the ratings are very high, even surpassing the two 3D games launched by Suoney.

In order to develop 3D games, Sunny differentiated itself from other game consoles, resulting in a lot of shoddy games and crazy licensing on the development platform. Many people who bought the games on Sunny PS1 felt that they had lost money, and the price was still expensive.

In contrast, the price of VCD game discs on Zhiduoxing G is too conscientious. Who makes the development and distribution costs here low?

Others say that game consoles are cheap and games are expensive, while Zhiduoxing’s game consoles are cheap and games are even cheaper. Relying on this, the sales volume of Zhiduoxing G surpassed expectations and approached 10 million units.

Zhang Yang looked at the sales curve of Zhiduoxing G. During this period of time, the European market has performed very well. Now, if you give more encouragement, the total sales of Zhiduxing G will exceed 10 million units this year, and Zhiduoxing G will be recorded in history.

After all, there are not many game consoles that have sold more than 10 million units worldwide at this time. Unlike Zhang Yang's previous life, after GB opened the sales statistics of game consoles in units of 100 million, the PS series, as well as Nintendo's WII, NDS, etc., all Both are more than 100 million units.

But thinking about the previous life, whether it was Nintendo or Sunny, they all relied on games to drive the sales of consoles. Of course Zhang Yang also understands this. At this time, the number of games played by Zhi Duoxing cannot be compared with those two. But by virtue of its compatibility, at least Suuni's PS was restrained.

When Nintendo was making great strides, Suni and Zhi Duoxing were busy contacting more game manufacturers. Don’t you want to get out of Nintendo’s clutches? Join our camp, and you can get a higher share.

It was also at this time that Zhang Yang got the good news that all the purchased Atari games were successfully ported to the Zhiduoxing platform, some were transplanted to the Zhiduoxing G, and some were transplanted to the Zhiduoxing Z2 platform.

Zhang Yang waved his hand: "What are you waiting for, let these games go on sale immediately. Remember to control our retail price, don't compete with those new games, we focus on nostalgia."
