Super Tycoon

"Everyone, everyone has said good things about software increasing revenue. Next, let's talk about hardware. I know that many of you are not in charge of hardware. Even Lao Zhao, the person in charge of hardware, didn't come today. I want to hear It's your opinion."

"How can we increase our hardware revenue while ensuring sales?"

The Zhiduoxing g2 is the best-selling 128-bit game console, but there is no profit because the price is too cheap. The prices of Ps2 and Super Uranus are 50% more expensive, and the performance has not been improved much. It is entirely for the purpose of increasing profits.

Selling other electronic products, hardware can be profitable, then selling game consoles, why can't hardware be profitable?

If it wasn't for the disruption caused by Zhiduoxing, in fact, everyone can make a lot of money on the 32-bit machine, and there is no need for the price to drop again and again.

Many people even believe that the reason why Nintendo's n64 was sold so cheap at that time was because the price of game consoles was lowered by Zhi Duoxing, so that Nintendo did not dare to sell it too expensive, for fear of repeating the mistakes of Songxia.

Just like when everyone buys a mobile phone, they mostly use the software inside, but doesn’t the hardware make money? Definitely earn too.

Zhiduoxing Group now relies on the price that is close to the people to ensure that the market sales are far ahead. At this time, if the price is increased in order to increase the profit of the hardware, it will definitely not work.

They have also started the research and development of the next generation of video game consoles, hoping that the next generation of game consoles can also make money, instead of relying on software to make profits.

"President, on our Zhiduo Xingg, we have two pieces of hardware that have made money. The first one is the new handle with analog joystick and vibration sensor. When it was launched, it sold very well, and we also made a lot of money. Less money."

"The second one is the peripherals of the dance mat. This is still selling well. The product has also been upgraded twice. The old model has been discontinued, but many people still buy the new one. Our dance game CD, sold Still good."

"Under the circumstances that the price of our game consoles cannot be increased, I think there are only two directions to make profits. The first is to reduce production costs. As time goes by, the prices of our spare parts are getting lower and lower, but after-sales costs It will increase more and more.”

"Even if we can make money, it won't be too much, so we can follow the example of gmInI and launch mInI2 to make this device more compact, and at the same time increase portable devices, such as screens, external power supplies, etc., to increase our revenue. receive."

"The second is to launch new peripherals. The previous peripherals are no longer enthusiastically sought after by consumers.

We need new selling points, which can also stimulate the sales of our consoles. "

"For example, a light gun with higher precision; for example, a microphone, our product can be used as a DVD player, and naturally it can also be used as a family karaoke; or a game controller using new technology."

Zhang Yang suddenly interrupted Naoki Watanabe: "You mean a new technology game controller? What do you mean?"

"President, I thought of this based on other equipment. For example, the old microphones have a very long wire, which is not very convenient, and many people are prone to tripping, so there is a wireless microphone."

"Just like a traditional phone needs a phone line, but now a mobile phone doesn't need those. Limited by technology, the distance is different."

"What's more, most people use wired mice now, but wireless mice have long been available. It is said that the progress is very fast with infrared transmission or Bluetooth transmission."

"Why can't we make a wireless game controller? In this way, there are no longer so many wires under the feet, and the game console will not be broken due to accidentally pulling the wires. In fact, most of the machines in our after-sales maintenance are broken, and half of them were accidentally pulled on the wire and fell to the ground and were damaged."

"And now there is no company that launches a wireless handle. If we launch it first, it will win the likes of players just like the original vibration handle, and it will also give players a better image of our technology."

clap clap ~~

Zhang Yang took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit. No way, the most proficient in hardware here is Naoki Watanabe, other people can't think of this.

"This idea is very good. Please write it down, Tengfei, and communicate with Lao Zhao later. I hope to make it as soon as possible and push it to the market."

"You don't need to think too much about the cost. Just like our original vibration handle, it doesn't matter if the price is higher. There will be players willing to pay for it."

"Anyone else have any ideas? Ideas for making money on hardware."

"I have an idea here, but I don't know if the current technology can be realized. Everyone knows that the light gun is to emit light, let the screen receive it, and then make some instructions. So, can this technology be combined with a wireless handle? "

"The combination I'm talking about is to use the wireless handle to move left and right to control the direction of the character. Have you ever seen it? When many people play games, they have a sense of substitution. When they see monsters coming from the left, their bodies will subconsciously Then dodge to the right."

"Then why can't there be a controller that allows you to control the movement of the game characters when you move yourself? Doesn't this give you an immersive feeling?"

Zhang Yang asked loudly into the phone: "Who came up with this idea?"

"President, it's me, Allen."

"Alan? Why did you come to this meeting?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised. He didn't notify Blizzard to come to the meeting, but this suggestion was very constructive.

This is the concept of the future somatosensory game console. In the previous life, Nintendo also relied on this concept to regain the status of the king of game consoles and opened a new era of home game consoles.

At that time, game consoles were facing the impact of computer games. Many game manufacturers no longer developed games specifically for home consoles, but developed computer games, games controlled by mouse and keyboard, because the sales volume was higher, and there was no need to follow the game. machine manufacturers, or pay platform royalties.

"I came to report to Edson about some work, and I happened to hear this. Of course, this is just my personal idea, and I don't know if it will be successful."

"Whether it can be achieved or not, I hope this function can be added to our next-generation game console. And this kind of game console, I named it a somatosensory game console, that is, a game console that is controlled by body induction. popular!"

"Alan, after the company's successful research and development, it will also give you a bonus."

"President, big news, big news!" Satoshi Matsudajiri's voice came through the phone, extremely anxious.
