Chapter 881: New Generation Game Console War

When Zhang Yang comes to the company every day, he can see the beaming faces of the people in the company. The higher the company's income, the higher the bonuses and benefits for everyone, of course they are happy.

It feels that all the products of Zhiduoxing are far ahead in sales. Moreover, the platform extended by the Zhiduoxing system is getting wider and wider. Many people think that Zhiduoxing is expected to become the next Microsoft.

In fact, this is of course impossible. The Microsoft system is a closed system, and only Microsoft itself knows the source code. The Zhiduoxing system is semi-open source, and the source code colleagues all know it.

The income of Zhiduoxing system is not as good as that of Microsoft system. The Microsoft system is in a semi-monopoly position. Except for a few systems such as Apple, most of the PC operating systems for civilian use have disappeared.

In terms of mobile phones, game consoles, tablets and other products, Microsoft systems and Apple systems are still competing with Zhiduoxing, and they still have the power to resist.

Especially in the game console market, today is the first day of Nintendo's new generation of video game console WIIU.

Nintendo can't afford to have a simultaneous global release, and changed it to a partial release. This time there are only two language versions, Japanese and English. Other language versions will be released this year.

Zhang Yang came to the office and after taking a look at the parameters of WIIU, he knew it was a failure.

The same is true in the previous life. Nintendo seems to have never launched two consecutive successful TV game consoles since SFC.

The dual-core 1.3G CPU has no improvement compared with the previous generation WII, let alone compared with the Zhiduoxing G4. Nintendo seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that this can reduce costs and lower prices, and players will definitely like it.

Nintendo WII sold well before, because of the novelty of somatosensory games, but it was not suppressed by the Zhiduoxing G3 series?

The hardware of G4 is improved again, but Nintendo's WiiU has not been upgraded much. How can players buy it?

Relying on game masterpieces to sell consoles is a model Nintendo is good at. It's a pity that Nintendo lacks the support of game manufacturers nowadays, and their game masterpieces can only be developed by themselves.

Fortunately, Nintendo's game development capabilities are indeed not weak. They are planning to attract players with the New Super Mario Bros., Sonic series, and Sedar series.

But these series are actually not too new, and there is no feeling that makes people shine. Except for somatosensory games, the sales of Nintendo's other games on the WII series are also average, otherwise they would not be caught up by PS3 later.

Satoshi Yantian has done a good job in publicity, and he really likes games, but his ideas can't keep up.

In the previous life, Nintendo's WIIU failed completely, with less than 15 million units sold worldwide. Even though Nintendo kept promoting, buying prizes, and talking about the best game console, players just didn't buy it.

It's the same in this life, but it's a pity that Nintendo is timid. If it is more courageous, and the global launch is synchronized, then the stockpiling volume will definitely be higher, and it will lose more by then.

In these two language versions, Nintendo has also prepared 12 million units of products, ready to do a big job.

...

A month later, Nintendo Wii U was launched in France, Germany, China and other regions.

Another month later, the Russian and Spanish versions were launched.

By the end of October,

All ten language versions of their products are on the market, but the output is getting lower and lower. It will eventually reach 20 million units.

It's not that Nintendo's production capacity can't keep up, but that it can't sell. Nintendo has all shot, but dealers and retailers have a serious backlog of products.

Nintendo originally said that it would place a large amount of advertising on a global scale, but now it only advertises in a few major regions. Compared with the Zhiduxing G4, it is completely submerged.

In fact, the performance of WIIU should be compared with G3MINI, of course it can't compare. Zhang Yang felt that Nintendo just wanted to extend the sales period of a game console, and this so-called new model was a gimmick.

It's a pity that the game sales of the WII series are not as good as the Zhiduoxing G3, and it is even more impossible for the WIIU.

When Nintendo's sales were sluggish, Suni announced that their PS4 began to accept pre-orders, and it will be officially launched in early December!

Immediately afterwards, Sega Bandai also announced that their new game console XBOX was officially released. The original release code was Pluto, but unfortunately Pluto was voted out of the nine planets in the solar system in 2006.

Although there were still debates at the time, in recent years, a consensus has been reached that Pluto is too small to meet the definition of a planet.

The appearance of the familiar name of the game console surprised Zhang Yang. I don’t know how Bill Gates convinced others.

Originally, the XBOX plan was to use Intel or IBM chips, but in the end, they chose the new APU of Chaowei Eagle Weida, which can make the size smaller while ensuring performance.

It is impossible to say that G4 has become a small box, and Sega Bandai will launch another game console that looks like a big box.

Not surprisingly, Suony PS4 chose the APU. Suuni's games already require super computing power, and the APU is more in line with their requirements.

Also because of this choice, Sega Bandai and Suni have drifted away from NEC, Songxia, etc., which makes Zhang Yang very happy.

Although NEC, Songxia and other companies no longer make game consoles, the hardware technology is still top-notch. At the same time, they also invested in game software companies, and they also supported Sega Bandai or Sunny before.

Now these game companies are supporting Zhiduoxing more. Who will make Zhiduoxing's G4 sell the most?

The retail price of WIIU is 349 US dollars, XBOX is 499 US dollars, and PS4 is 399 US dollars. The general price of this generation of game consoles has increased.

The current retail price of Zhiduoxing G4 is still US$349. It seems that the price is as cheap as WIIU. In fact, if players buy some peripherals, the overall cost will exceed US$500.

But even so, it still can't stop the hot sales of G4. This is the most mature technology among the new generation of game consoles, and it has passed the test of the market.

And WIIU, which has the same price, is criticized by many players because of this. That kind of performance, are you willing to sell it for $349? 249 feel expensive!

Sega Bandai and Sunny also chose the same method as Nintendo, selling them in different regions, because they really couldn't afford so much money.

The simultaneous global launch not only takes up a lot of money and is extremely risky, but also increases the technical difficulty. Once a problem occurs in both language versions, they have no ability to solve it at the same time.

In case several markets are unable to sell, their products will have a large backlog, and at that time, the payment alone will make them breathless.

At this time, Zhiduoxing began to seize this point to promote, claiming to give global players a fair chance to play the most fun game consoles at the same time.

In addition, at this time, Zhiduoxing announced to issue game vouchers to all members, which once again attracted a large number of new members. The other three game console manufacturers are all staring at the golden sales period from Christmas to New Year's Day. Whether they can reverse the defeat depends on this time.
