Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 457 Is the disc the star of the future...?

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's handheld consoles have been sold at a loss so far, with an average loss of more than [-] US dollars per unit.

So if you want to make a profit in the early stage, you will definitely need a sufficient amount of video game sales.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment predicts that the annual sales of GSL handhelds should be close to 2000 million units, or even 3000 million units.

If it is 3000 million units, it is a loss of more than [-] million machine costs.

If you want to make money back, you have to make at least [-] million or more profits on video games.

The average profit of a million-selling first-party game is about 3000 to [-] million US dollars.

According to the current regular sales data of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's first party, if Zhu Yuxing personally supervised the work, it may go directly to the sales volume of tens of millions.

And if it's just a first-party game, it's about a maximum of 100 million to 300 million sales.

Well, under normal circumstances, this year's revenue on game cartridges can definitely make up for some of the cost losses on game consoles.

But all of this is based on the premise that the game can be released normally and the supply of cassettes is stable.

Now, however, there is a problem with the production of the cassette, and this problem may directly affect the three-month cassette production capacity.

Now is the high-frequency stage of the confrontation between the two parties, and a slight mistake by either party may affect the future pattern.

"I'm very sorry to the customer, the supply of cassettes has been tight recently, and the Cartesian cassettes of The Legend of Zelda you need will have to wait for a while."

"I still have to wait. I have been waiting for half a month."

When the time came to May, the shortage of cassettes began to gradually appear.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has tried its best to put more cassettes into popular works such as The Legend of Zelda. This is already a bit unfair to other works, but this is something that can’t be helped. The priority is to give priority to games with more players. A choice that must be made.

But even so, the stock of cassettes is gradually running out.

This is not only to provide a region in Japan, but also to provide the game's cassette to the world.

For the dissatisfaction of the players, the game store promises to send these users free mail as soon as they get the cassette goods, and also comes with a free digital game, which only needs to be exchanged in the online mall in the future.

This can alleviate the dissatisfaction of players a little, but their demand for entertainment, as Nagao Yu said, will not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, they will be more eager to obtain the entertainment brought by video games.

The Nintendo of the previous life was very good at playing hunger marketing in the early days, deliberately creating a situation where some popular works were out of stock, making users more eager to get their games.

But this is based on absolute advantage.

If Zhu Youxing wanted to do this in the early days, it must be no problem, because at that time there were almost no opponents, and he could be accepted by the players if he made some showy operations.

But it can't work now, Su Rui Electronics is staring at it.

The player walked out of Youxing Electronic Entertainment's store with some disappointment, but the clerk at the store selling Suri's video games on the same street immediately enthusiastically invited the player over.

"Guest, you can come to our house to try our latest game works, some works are not inferior to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment."

The player was a little disdainful, and he didn't believe the clerk's nonsense.

But he couldn't help it after seeing the very cool game video pictures at the door of Suri Electronics.

Once people get used to the entertainment that video games bring, they can no longer easily accept the feeling of losing it.

Although old games are not impossible to play, no one can refuse to have more cool and updated games.

In the end, the player walked into the store and bought a handheld and several games.

Because even if these games are not as good as those of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, the overall quality is not much worse.

Because these games were also made by the studios that made games for the Youxing family in the past.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the enlightenment of the game industry in this world, and it is also the existence of the Whampoa Military Academy in this world game industry. It has cultivated countless outstanding game producers, and they are also the treasures of this industry.

Now Suri Electronics also has many games with more than three-star quality.

Players who do not have absolutely strict requirements on the quality of video games are also acceptable.

Between the stores, the players finally chose Suri Electronics helplessly.

In the media and newspapers, Nagao Yu was also excited again.

The strong sales data of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment before made him really a little lack of confidence.

But now, seeing the rapid growth in sales on their side, and the fact that their opponents are slowly decreasing due to the limited production capacity, he began to ridicule in a somewhat gloating tone.

I used to think that it was a bit of a loss to buy Youxing Electronic Entertainment for 100 billion, and then I wanted to use 40 billion to buy it. Now it seems that I don’t need 40 billion, and more than a billion should be enough. It depends on whether Youxing Electronic Entertainment is willing to let go , or, if Yuxing Electronics decides to re-use the form of disc carrier to make game consoles, Suri Electronics may be able to provide a little 'technical assistance'

In short, in any interviews related to Nagaoyu in the media, his words are very yin and yang.

Then, from time to time, he would show off how many capital favors his online portal had gained, and how many stable users his new online shopping fantasy had.

In such a situation, he did not forget to advertise himself to brag about himself, but he was still a bit brainy.

At this time, Suri Electronics also took the opportunity to publicize the benefits of its own optical disc standard.

The biggest advantage of CDs is that they are cheap and easy to obtain materials.

As long as the authorization is obtained, even a company with no technical foundation can quickly build a mature optical disc production line, and there is no such thing as limited production capacity.

So if there are other third-party manufacturers loyal to Youxing Electronic Entertainment who are interested, they are willing to provide any technical support.

If a third party wants to build a CD production line directly, their technicians will definitely give the best technical service support.

For a while, there were more and more remarks about the advantages of CD-ROM, and some experts with relevant interests also took the initiative to promote CD-ROM as a carrier, saying that this is the star of the future. There are too many uncertainties in flash memory chips, and the cost of materials is higher than that of CD-ROM. , and there is still a certain degree of difficulty in mining. In the end, they even brought out the argument of environmental protection. The production process of optical discs is more environmentally friendly than flash memory chips, which is the best choice for the development of industries in many regions.
