Chapter 611 Never Compromise
610
For the new console this time, Zhu Youxing, as always, asked the development team to support the old games on the basis of compatibility, and then develop the game console.

Universal compatibility is sometimes very convenient, but sometimes because of the compromise of universality, you have to pay some extra costs.

In the past, Youxing Electronic Entertainment could pick up chips made by some small-scale chip companies.

But up to now, the chip industry has been highly centralized, and only a few products can be used, but the selectivity is greatly reduced.

But this also has the advantage, that is, the quality of the chip is more guaranteed.

Conversely, the price will be higher.

Especially if you insist on uncompromising on universal compatibility, then the extra cost is inevitable.

Chip manufacturing companies have persuaded Youxing Electronic Entertainment before, hoping that they can change their minds, and there is no need to pay more for some old games that have a small audience.

But Zhu Yuxing didn't do that.

He continued to insist that he must continue to be compatible with old games.

No one persuaded anyone.

This should be regarded as Zhu Yuxing's own paranoia.

If it is from a business point of view, he really does not need to do this anymore.

But he has bigger ambitions than commercial success, and he is not inferior to the benefits of commercial success.

He's really bankrupt, he's a big deal to eat old age, but ambition can never be abandoned.

For Hayazawa Airi and others' persuasion, Takeyusei shook his head without hesitation: "This point cannot be compromised, I am willing to always provide support for these old players, so that they can always play them on the latest game consoles. Familiar old game."

Seeing that Zhu Youxing insisted so much, everyone finally stopped talking.

It really doesn't make sense to say too much.

"So Zhuyou, how do you feel about the game console in this state?"

Zhu Youxing nodded after experiencing it: "It's already very good, the game machine is running stably, so let's prepare for production."

Zhu Youxing finally made a decision, and these people were also slightly relieved.

Although the price is a bit higher.

But in fact, Hayasawa Airi and other members of the development team like this latest game console.

Because this can show a better game screen than ever.

This time, it can really be called the next era, and of course it belongs to the next era of this world.

This can be compared to the PS2 level picture in the previous generation in the previous generation, and then suddenly jumped to the PS4 level in a blink of an eye.

The improvement of this picture is enough to make players exclaim.

Zhu Yuxing put down the handle and said: "First, distribute a few engineering prototypes to our own game development team, and they will start to prepare. This time the price of the game machine is indeed relatively high, but I am not completely unprepared. Yes, players may be dissatisfied with the sales price of the console, but they will never be dissatisfied with a good enough game."

Zhu Yuxing smiled confidently.

The game console is just a carrier, no matter how expensive it is, there is a limit.

In the previous life, both Microsoft and Sony used to have greatly reduced sales due to the price of game consoles.

The price factor is definitely the main factor, but there is also a very important reason, that is, while raising the price of game consoles, the two companies did not improve the game quality of their own game consoles to the same level.

I spent different money, but experienced a similar gaming experience on a cheaper game console next door, so why should I buy your more expensive game?

Just for those exclusive games?I'm sorry, after all, there are still a small number of exclusive diehard fans, and most players will still choose based on the level of game fun.

Development of new consoles was completed, and the products were immediately distributed to several game development teams.

This time, Zhu Yuxing is ready to go out of his way to convince players to buy this more expensive console.

He wants players in this world to truly see the next-generation games that belong to his own era.

First of all, he arranged the first game, a game that reached the level of a masterpiece: Super Mario Galaxy.

This is a game that combines somatosensory, and the experience is completely different from many games in the past.

Of course, this masterpiece alone is not enough, and the sequel to Mario Kart can also be integrated.

Nowadays, Mario Kart also has a very stable player audience. Players seem to like this kind of entertainment racing competition in the form of kart. There are more players who like this work than the players of Need for Speed.

And another advantage of Mario Kart is that you don't need to find any car companies for authorization, and those car companies even think about actively looking for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, hoping to give Yuxing Electronic Entertainment a free license to add their own car brands to Mario Kart.

But these were rejected by Zhu Youxing one by one. An entertainment cartoon game should not add too many realistic elements, which is the standard of the Mario series.

Then, there is the sequel to Dragon Quest, and even Metroid, a game that has been temporarily suspended for three or four years, and the sequel to Castlevania, the high-definition reset of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time version, Super Football and the sequel to NBA basketball.

Several top-level masterpiece-level games are released at the same time, and several development teams may be under a lot of pressure this time, but Zhu Yuxing also gave them a lot of time, and they can have about a year and a half to prepare for the development of the game.

If it is a normal game development, I am afraid that this time is not enough, but with the mind of Zhu Youxing, a traveler, the development direction can be very clear from the beginning, and there will be no detours, so the development efficiency can at least be guaranteed. The average increase is more than 30.00%.

So Zhu Yuxing's pressure is not particularly great.

After the development of the game console is finalized, the rest is to start preparing for the announcement, and this Songqiao is the best at it.

Not long after the game console was finalized, Youxing Electronic Entertainment began to publish its latest advertisements on multiple advertising platforms.

The title of the advertisement is "Meet the real next era! Youxing Electronic Entertainment will announce the latest products at CES 2005, so stay tuned."

Apart from this text, this ad does not have any other notable features.

But this sentence alone is enough to affect the hearts of countless players.

In fact, players can basically guess that it is the latest game console.

After all, the GS1 game console has been released for many years, which is already the longest-running game console.

Therefore, there have been calls for new game consoles for a long time, but the excellent works at that time were still born one after another, and the voices of players were often smashed by these masterpieces.

However, with the official stone hammer this time, players are obviously unable to sit still.
