Super Tycoon

Zhang Yang was not surprised that Microsoft had cooperated with Sega Bandai. In the previous Sega, the seventh-generation game console was partnered with Microsoft, which was eventually renamed DC, that is, dream casting. It did not follow the Uranus they mentioned before, and it was not the original demon sword. I don’t know what it will be like in this life.

However, the previous Sega's DC still failed, because their game masterpieces were too few, and the storage core they used was also faulty. After being cracked, piracy ran rampant.

Many people said that generally those who cracked the opponent's game platform were competitors. I can't produce your pirated version, but I can make your platform code public and let others produce it.

In this way, no one will know that I did it, and at the same time you will be damaged, and you will no longer be able to compete with me.

It just failed in the previous life, but not in this life, because Sega Bandai merged, and Sega just developed some Bandai animation copyrights, and they would not sell badly in the island market.

The former Sega withdrew from the game console market after the millennium, and concentrated on making game software. It will also develop well in the future. It has survived the merger.

But now, things have changed. Zhang Yang felt that his foresight of the market had weakened, but he thought it was more interesting.

At the very least, he still knows the development direction of the game market, and he will never be left behind in this respect, and he will even be at the forefront and become a pioneer.

Previously, the only competitors in Zhang Yang's mind were Nintendo and Suni, and Sega didn't pay attention to them, but now they had to add them again.

In this year's ranking of game machine manufacturers, Zhiduoxing has jumped to the second place in the industry, thanks to the hot sales of Zhiduoxing Z2.

In terms of sales of home game consoles, Zhiduoxing does not have much advantage over other 32-bit consoles. Sonny and 3DO also sell well. Although Sega's Saturn lags behind, it still has a lot of sales.

With the injury of the N64, those 32-bit machine camps are actually in a backward stage.

Together with Sunny, Nintendo promoted the characteristics of 3D games and attacked other 2D game machine manufacturers. But the current 3D games are far from the ones Zhang Yang has seen in his previous life. They have sharp edges and corners, and they look particularly blunt.

In Zhang Yang's mind, this is at most 2.5D, which does not meet the requirements of 3D, or the current requirements of various manufacturers for 3D are too low.

Because of this, the concept of 3D is popular, but the sales of 3D games are not as good as they imagined, and 2D games are still the mainstream.

Zhang Yang looked at the current evaluation of the performance of various game consoles by some relevant media,

Except for the good evaluation of the handle and storage format of Zhiduoxing G, other evaluations are not high.

Fortunately, even Nintendo's N64, the game console with the most advanced performance at this time, still has shortcomings, that is, the cartridge storage mode that Nintendo insists on.

Since FC, Nintendo’s games are stored in cartridges. This logo is easy to recognize, but the disadvantages have long been mentioned. The storage space is large, and the interface of the cartridge is easy to dust, resulting in poor contact.

And Nintendo also said that the reason why their game cartridges are expensive is because of the high cost of the cartridges. Players are not happy, there are low-cost CD-ROMs and VCD-ROMs, you should use them.

People have a disc with 700M storage space, isn't that enough?

Another disadvantage of Nintendo's card box is that it is not convenient to store. Take a look at other people's CDs and VCDs, put them in a CD box, they can be neatly placed on a bookshelf, in a drawer, or even placed next to a game console, and it doesn't look messy at all.

As for Nintendo's card boxes, there is no way to stack them, so putting them in a drawer is the best choice. And every time you want to play a game, you have to search for it first, which will make it very messy.

Every game console on the market today has bad reviews and obvious shortcomings. Zhang Yang also decided to make some minor repairs to Zhi Duoxing G. Before the launch of the dance mat peripheral and the miniaturized Zhiduoxing G, a new peripheral is launched first, just like the original vibration handle.

The research and development idea of ​​this product comes from the USB port expansion peripherals on the future computer.

The phone on the desk rang, Zhang Yang answered it, hung up after listening to a few words, got up and walked out of the office.

In a small reception room, someone is connecting the game console to the TV, but there are four game controllers on the table, and Zhiduoxing G actually only has two game controller ports.

Nowadays, many games can actually be played by two or more people. For example, Journey to the West, The Legend of Shi'er, which has just been released on Zhiduoxing, and some previous level-breaking games, can support up to four people to play at the same time.

In an ordinary family, it is rare for four people to play game consoles together, but in many game halls, multiple people can play together, and the boss can make more money.

"Tested, is that thing okay?"

Sun Tengfei looked happy: "No problem, I have tested it many times, and no bugs have been found so far. There were some errors before, and they have been patched. But to use this, you must first install a software patch package."

After the operation position is completed, the screen of Journey to the West Shi'er appears on the TV. Zhang Yang picks up one handle, selects the character, and then uses the other three handles to select the character respectively.

I tried it briefly and it worked, but it wasn't enough.

"Ask two more people to come in and try together."

Two more people came in, and all four of them were playing games with controllers in their hands. The screen works fine and seems to be fine.

"Everyone press the A button at the same time."

"Okay, press the B key at the same time."

"You two press A, Teng Fei you press B with me."

Zhang Yang is testing in different ways to avoid the failure of the buttons, which will affect the game experience too much. If you have a bad temper, suddenly the keys don't work, the character is killed, and you might drop the handle or even smash the machine.

"Pause and try again with the old handle."

After testing the old handle, and mixing the old and new handles, Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction after all of these were fine: "It's ok, let's pause."

Taking down the peripheral, Zhang Yang looked at the product in his hand. One end was connected to the game console, and the other end was divided into three, so that three game controllers could be connected at the same time. In this way, the game console that could only be used by two people became a Four people can play at the same time.

Before, Zhiduoxing gave an extra vibration controller as a gift, and some people bought additional vibration controllers, which resulted in too many game controllers at home, which was a complete waste.

But with this peripheral, it can be reused.

"How much does this thing cost?"

"The cost of developing a patch package is about 300,000 yuan, and the cost of producing this is about 38 yuan. But if you find an OEM, the production cost may increase to about 50 yuan."

At present, the sales volume of Zhiduoxing G has exceeded 10 million units. Even if only 10% of people buy it, there will still be 1 million sales. If one earns 10 yuan, it will be a 10 million profit.

"This product is priced at RMB 100 in China, 1,200 yen in the island market, and 20 dollars in Europe and America. Go and inform the agent."
