Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Strictly speaking, the handheld that Zhu Youxing drew at this time should be regarded as an upgraded version of NDS 3ds.

The handheld has a joystick, eight buttons, and two shoulder buttons.

The clamshell feature allows the upper screen to display high-quality images, while the lower screen can be assisted by touch.

This brand-new form of handheld also gives new inspiration to the development of the game.

The up and down screen is indeed a pretty good idea.

Zhu Youxing still remembers that this seems to be proposed by Hiroshi Yamauchi, the founder of Nintendo video games who passed away in his previous life.

Later, it was not until after Hiroshi Yamauchi retired that this idea was finally created by brainstorming and brainstorming by the follow-up bigwigs of Nintendo, and then once again led a new era.

With the current technology, can such a game console be created?

Zhu Youxing began to think seriously.

The technological power of this world is ten years more advanced than that of the previous life.

Now is 2000, so it is equivalent to 2010 in later generations.

To Zhu Youxing's surprise, this time should have been the stage when the mobile phone industry began to develop rapidly from the direction of multimedia entertainment.

However, this world does not seem to be developing in the right direction, or it is developing too slowly, and it has not yet reached the level of my previous life in 2010.

In other words, if a new handheld is released now, there is still a lot of profit margin.

And once the multimedia handheld platform such as smart phones rises completely, the handheld market will melt like snowflakes.

This is the law of the market, no matter how powerful Zhu Youxing is, it is impossible to prevent this general trend from happening.

Most of the travellers, none of them thought about changing certain general trends, but followed the general trend to achieve themselves.

However, even if the market for handhelds is gradually sluggish, the market for video games will continue to develop rapidly, and the two sides just have conflicts at a certain stage.

But in the end it will be reconciled in a whole new way.

Video games have embarked on a brand new path, among which new-age handheld devices such as SWITCH are the pioneers.

Then, when Zhuyouxing crossed over, some video game manufacturers with certain status also began to try to develop handheld games, reactivating the handheld market.

But it's still too early to say these things, and now I can take advantage of the rise of smartphones to rule the market again for a while, and then silently wait for the trend to pass.

Well, then with the current technological strength, 3DS is completely feasible.

But the cost will soar a lot.

If a machine is really mass-produced and developed, the initial cost is estimated to be more than one hundred and fifty dollars.

If a series of costs such as transportation and tax rates are added, the price of the handheld will quickly soar from the price of more than 10,000 yen in the past to 20,000 yen.

This is probably also an unacceptable price for players.

Because they are used to prices in the early 10,000s in the past.

After thinking for a while, Zhuyouxing crossed out the previous performance assumptions, and then planned the new handheld performance again.

This is where the benefits of having a prescient vision of the future come into play.

Zhu Youxing can plan a more secure development path by himself, and these have already been the path traveled by the predecessors, so he can go on with confidence.

Cross out the performance of the previous handheld, then in order to reduce the cost, we can only manufacture a handheld with about 30% more performance than the original NDS.

This seems to be just right, and the cost can be kept below 10,000 yen, so that the handheld can earn less money, and then rely on the game to make money.

only……

Are you really willing to do this?

Zhu Youxing took another look at the handheld performance list he had just crossed out.

Looking at the list, Zhu Youxing remembered his previous life.

In the previous life, those game manufacturers were trying their best to grab more benefits, and finally had to compromise for the benefit, and had to make certain sacrifices in terms of performance or other experience.

Then the product presented to the player is a product that has undergone constant compromise.

But the players are helpless, the handhelds they own will always make them full of regrets.

Due to the low performance of NDS, NDS players can only experience games whose picture quality is an era behind.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the groundbreaking and gameplay of NDS, otherwise it would not have won the competition in that era.

But if you can really make the performance better, the players will definitely be happier, and they must be more willing to pay for it.

If you are an ordinary consumer now, what do you think?

I am afraid that what I think is to get the best experience, the kind of top experience that people will never forget.

Moreover, the research and development of this handheld phone may be the swan song of the handheld phone industry in a short period of time.

Later, mobile phones should have ruled the mobile field for many years. It was not until people gradually became tired of the mobile field of mobile phones and began to pursue other new stimuli that the handheld market would shine again.

So, since this may be the last handheld in a short period of time, is he really willing to castrate it?

Not reconciled.

For a long time, Zhuyouxing has regarded itself as a player.

He hopes to become the godfather of the video game industry.

Money just needs to be enough.

Now his reserves have reached two billion dollars.

Seriously, the little cost of a handheld is more than he can afford.

And this can allow players to get a better experience, and I have no regrets.

Since there is no shortage of money, why not have a longer-term pursuit?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing crossed out his modified handheld performance again.

Then, a new handheld performance was planned again.

If you want to play, play big.

It doesn't matter if half of the reserve funds are invested, he can afford the money.

Even if the market proves that he failed in the end, he will not regret it, because he has fulfilled his previous dream.

The best lineup of games, the top console performance.

This is what I most hope to see.

I let myself complete the regrets of my previous life now.

On Zhu Youxing's notebook, a new handheld is gradually taking shape

That is a handheld with performance comparable to that of the later 3DS.

The cost is certainly not low, but Sony's way of selling hardware at a loss and then making money from video games in the previous life is feasible.

You can do it yourself too.

good! Ok, deal!

A brand new handheld was just drawn on Zhu Youxing's draft paper.

Next, is the research and development of the handheld.

Of course, what is more important is the procurement of chips.

This thing is the most important thing.

He has to be careful about this.

This time it will be a gamble of his own, and he must not take it lightly.
