The final result of this creative workshop was a great success.

Regardless of the surge in the number of concurrent online players, the number of people interested in game development has rapidly increased to a new level after this time.

Zhu Youxing felt that he could look forward to the development of interesting games by these talented people.

He has always hoped to play more interesting games.

However, this kind of thing can be done slowly. After the initial work of the creative workshop is completed, the rest can be completely handed over to the Battle.net platform department to handle by itself, and he doesn't need to participate in anything.

And now he has another thing to focus on, which is the development of the latest game console.

After arranging the battle.net platform by himself, the development of the new host has come to the late stage.

"Zhuyou, this is our final version of the game console. We have also negotiated a price with the chip manufacturer. 100 million chips will be provided continuously within five years. The price can be reduced to $270 per chip."

Hayazawa Airi stood next to Takeyuho who was holding a handle to experience the new console, and carefully introduced the characteristics of this new game console to Takeyuho.

Up to now, some key technologies of game consoles have been realized, so the rest is stacking performance, which makes game development more convenient, and also more convenient for game production.

After hearing Hayazawa Airi's introduction of the purchase price of the chip, Takeyusei just hummed casually and continued to experience the latest host seriously.

This time the latest console already has performance close to that of PS4, and the performance of the game console experienced in the first place has been improved by a small amount.

This is due to the very experienced hardware development team today.

Now these people are top talents with more than ten years of game console development experience.

As long as these people are living outside, they can become guests of other game manufacturers.

Especially Su Rui Electronics, they are drooling over the hardware and game development team of Youxing Electronic Entertainment every day.

They have also extended an olive branch to these people more than once and invited them to join Suri Electronics.

But most of them refused without hesitation, and a few were a little moved. After all, the salary was indeed high, but in the end most of them still held back and did not leave.

Because Youxing Electronic Entertainment has stayed for many years, the benefits given by Youxing Electronic Entertainment are quite generous.

I am so used to such an environment, it is not necessarily good to go to a new environment for a little more money.

There are also some suggestions from the wives of their respective families.

These people's families are now very harmonious and happy.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always had no overtime policy, and you can go to work happily every day, and you can chat happily with your wife and children about the work content of the day when you come back, which is very relaxing.

In Japanese society, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is like a different kind of company.

Many people really want to come in now, and if they really want to leave, they are really showing their brains.

Their respective wives also tried their best to dissuade their husbands from being reckless. For the extra salary, if the work is not happy, it is actually better to continue working here.

It's not that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is about to go bankrupt, and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is still thriving.

Only a small number of people who prefer to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail will choose to go to some small companies. As for how they live after they change jobs, no one knows, at least none of them have become famous after leaving Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Takeyuho's reaction to the new chip price was mediocre, and Hayazawa Airi couldn't help it.

"Zhuyou, don't you think the price is a bit high? The price of the chip has reached 270 US dollars, and the entire production cost may reach a price close to 400 US dollars, which is far more than any console product we have developed before."

Zhu Youxing said casually: "There's nothing wrong with that. This time, the development of a new game console is what I require to achieve this kind of picture quality. In order to achieve this kind of picture quality, a higher price is acceptable. Songqiao , if it is a $270 chip, can we probably control the retail cost around $399 in the end?"

At this moment, Matsuhashi is also having a remote video conference with Zhuyouxing.

Hearing Zhu Youxing's question, Matsuhashi frowned and began to think.

She is not responsible for the production arrangement, but she is also experienced now, and can basically infer the approximate actual retail price based on the manufacturing price of the chip.

"For $399, we're afraid we'll have a small loss, around ten to twenty dollars."

"Well, that means the sales in the first year must be at a loss?"

"That's right, but the price of subsequent chips will definitely decrease, which can gradually make up for the cost loss in the first year."

Zhu Youxing waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The initial loss of ten or twenty dollars for this machine is nothing. I can still afford this amount of money, so let's set the price at 399."

Matsuhashi also hesitated at this time and then said: "President, last time Su Rui Electronics planned to price its own console at this price, the final reaction was obvious, the players didn't buy it, they didn't like this process. For a high-priced game console, isn’t the price we sell at 399 a bit high?”

Zhu Youxing nodded: "It's indeed a bit high, but it's actually not a big problem. We are still very different from Su Rui Electronics."

"President, I think we need to be cautious. Players' feedback is very important. If they hate this exorbitant price very much, then sales will be seriously affected."

Zhu Youxing didn't particularly care about it and said: "Don't worry too much about this, I know what to do in my heart."

"Oh well."

Seeing that the persuasion didn't have much effect, Matsuhashi didn't insist anymore.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is indeed not bad for this loss, but she is still a little worried that this exorbitant price will cause a strong rebound from players.

The support of players is the lifeblood of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. If many players are turned away because of the high price, it is actually not worthwhile.

Hayazawa Airi suddenly said at this time: "Takeyou, in fact, we can still reduce the price of some game consoles. For example, we can sacrifice the compatibility of some game consoles and discard some support for the old game architecture, so that we can save more money. At an average cost of around fifty dollars, it’s actually a good deal.”

"That's right, President, I think so too. Up to now, there are actually very few players of old games. Most players now prefer games with cooler graphics in this era. Those old games really shouldn't be continued. Support it."
