In fact, Zhu Youxing felt that he didn't have many choices, and his greatest wish was to have no regrets.

Then the best choice may only be to continue to improve the performance of the game console.

Fortunately, I still have many excellent game ideas.

Just taking it out and giving it to the handheld can lead to a sales increase again and again.

If it weren't for this confidence, Zhu Youxing might not have taken such a risk.

On the same day, Zhu Youxing first announced his ideas to the company's engineering development department.

At the same time, the news of this new handheld was disclosed to the person in charge of the company's core development team.

They were not surprised by the news of this new development plan.

Because judging from the time when the GBA is released, the development of the next generation of handhelds should also start.

But they were a little surprised by Zhu Youxing's idea.

This time Zhuyouxing wants to make another big leap in game performance.

In order to explain to everyone the brand-new handheld device they envisioned, everyone also held an internal discussion meeting.

"My initial idea was to launch a handheld with upper and lower screens, one of which could use the latest touch technology, making our product a fashionable product of electronic technology. As for the performance, I also plan to improve it a little bit. , the standard is to be able to run video games that are comparable to the GS1’s graphics performance.”

After Takeyuho finished speaking, Hayazawa Airi immediately raised her hand.

"Zhuyou...President, isn't this span a little too big? Also, why are there two screens?"

"Dual screen is just an idea of ​​mine, because I have some ideas that fit with this mechanism. As for the span you mentioned, it does seem to be very large, but this is the first time I hope to make one that can satisfy as much as possible. A console for gamers with all appetites."

Hayazawa Airi immediately said: "Then the cost may not be cheap, and if we still sell it at the price of the handheld, it will be a loss-making business."

"Selling the console at a loss and then making money back from the game is my definition of this handheld. At the same time, I also hope that this handheld can continue to operate for more than five years. In this way, with Moore's Law By gradually doubling the performance of the processor multiple times, the cost of our game console itself can be reduced all the time. In the early stage, it may be a loss-making business to sell game consoles, but it will not be the case at all in the later stage.”

A console that's ready to go on sale for more than five years?

Everyone thought about it seriously.

The lifespan of their two game consoles, SFC and GB, was about four years.

Now GBA will slowly become obsolete as time goes by, and it will be replaced sooner or later.

So now, making a handheld with a performance comparable to that of a home console in one breath really sounds great, and game developers for handhelds will have more room to play.

Recently, some handheld game developers have gradually begun to complain about the poor performance of the GBA handheld.

The performance of game consoles in this world is developing too fast, and Zhuyouxing has accelerated the pace of soaring performance of this game console.

And game developers, like players, will gradually no longer be satisfied with the development of the current game machine performance.

They also hope that they can have more room for development when developing games.

The current handheld market is more like a platform for orthodox console development teams to practice.

When the experience of game developers matures, they will immediately jump out of the handheld development team and join the console development team to develop console games with stronger game performance.

If a handheld with explosive performance is really released, then there will actually be a brand new choice for game developers.

They will also be very welcome.

"My idea is probably these. Now let's see if you have any other opinions. We will solve it during the internal meeting. First of all, I want to say that my idea is not 100% accurate. If If you guys can come up with some reason enough to convince me, then some changes to the structure of this handheld are also possible, and I welcome all of your ideas."

At this time, a person in charge of the development team raised his hand and said, "Then the president, do we want to announce the development of this handheld to our employees?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "It's good to announce it. The confidentiality regulations will keep them tight-lipped. I can trust our employees on this point. If ordinary employees have any good ideas, they are willing to accept them."

Everyone nodded.

They are actually a little confused about this so-called dual-screen development.

They don't have the inherent rules of jumping out of the console screen right now.

One screen can't be taken care of, so what kind of performance will the two screens perform?

At the same time, they seem to have regained their senses.

It turned out that the upgraded version of the previous GBSP handheld appearance was prepared for this.

Layout a clamshell handheld in advance, and then launch a dual-screen game console under the clamshell.

However, it is hard to say whether such a game console will be successful.

In fact, if this idea was proposed by the boss of an ordinary game company, everyone would probably think that it was the whimsical idea of ​​the boss of the company, which is simply nonsense.

This is completely against mainstream thinking.

However, Zhu Youxing is the god of games, since it was his idea, it should be quite correct.

Zhu Youxing didn't say the words completely, but gave everyone a time to think.

Let them go back and think about the feasibility of this kind of thing.

It is one thing for Zhuyouxing to come up with the idea at the beginning, but whether this dual-screen handheld can really be popular is another matter.

Zhu Youxing even conceived the planning of market research.

If handhelds are really going to be distributed, the future is facing consumers, and it is necessary to conduct some market research in advance.

However, the processor of a high-quality performance handheld can be researched in advance.

This can be paralleled with the gameplay and design of the handheld.

After the meeting, the engineering development team issued tender announcements to several large processor manufacturers.

This time is different.

The performance of previous game consoles is relatively behind the technological development of this world.

Then finding a processor with wider versatility and stronger compatibility is the best choice.

In this case, just go directly to the company with the strongest processor production in the world.

The price of the processor itself has also matured, and they also welcome the purchase of such outdated products in large quantities. The unused production lines can be reused, and they can continue to be used to make a wave of money, and this old production line Even occupying a production position does not need to consume too much manpower, so why not do it.
