Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 202 What kind of fairy operation is this?
When Tian Moyun knew about it, he couldn't help but sigh, the new [Phoenix Group] is really bold.

In the absence of domestic components, all parts of the game console have to be imported, and the import tax on these items alone is extremely high.

The game console is sold for 999 yuan, and I am afraid that it will lose money.

"However, under the guise of overseas classic games, it can indeed attract many potential players."

Tian Moyun frowned in thought.

In the initial plan, he didn't pay attention to [Leyou] and [Strawberry]. He didn't expect that their death-defying counterattack would attract technological giants like [Dongzhu Group].

nowadays--

[Thunder Game Hall] is developing smoothly, but [Phoenix Game Console] is priced at 999 yuan + a large number of overseas classic games. Such a trump card will inevitably make the home game console market chaotic.

ding ding ding-

The phone on the desk rang.

"Boss, Mr. Li from [Longteng Games] has already brought you to the VIP room."

The voice of the little secretary came from the phone.

Tian Moyun pressed it casually, then got up and left the office.

Li Tenglong came to him without prior notice, but Tian Moyun was not surprised.

The news of [Phoenix Group] is very restricted. The price, lineup, and development of the new game console are all in a highly confidential stage, and it is difficult to find out.

until today-

[Phoenix Group] and [Dragon Scale Games] announced the news of the "new game console" on the same day, and Tian Moyun and Li Tenglong knew that this newly formed giant was about to fire the first shot.

……

"What are they going to do?"

Li Tenglong frowned in puzzlement: "Although I don't know their specific costs, but... the labor costs of overseas products are extremely high, plus transportation and import taxes, as well as the cost of transporting to Daxia for assembly and promotion costs. It's a full budget. , at least more than 1200 yuan, and they sell it for 999 yuan, and one set will cost more than 200 yuan."

He couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do.

"The first-generation (eight-bit) game console has entered the final stage."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "With the hot launch of [Thunder Game Hall], 16 home game consoles are imminent."

"If I'm not mistaken—"

"[Phoenix Group] should have developed a 16-bit game console. With [Dongzhu Group] as a major shareholder, this is not a problem for them."

"However, before that, how to ensure that the new game console has a strong enough game lineup is a problem that must be considered."

Through the history of game consoles on Earth in the previous life, we can know——

Whether the game platform can be supported depends on the sales of game consoles.

The sales of game consoles depend on the game lineup.

There are more games, and the sales of game consoles are hot, attracting more game companies, and the sales of game consoles are even hotter... This is a perfect virtuous circle.

but--

If the start is not going well.

There are few games, the sales of game consoles are sluggish, game companies lose confidence, and turn to develop games for other platforms... As a result, the game platform completely collapses.

There is often only a thin line between a virtuous circle and a vicious circle.

……

"You mean to say that they made 8-bit game consoles with the purpose of expanding the game lineup, and then perfectly connecting to the new 16-bit consoles?"

Li Tenglong was thoughtful.

"It can only be like this."

Tian Moyun nodded: "Otherwise, it is impossible to explain their practice of losing money and smashing sales. After all... the 8-bit computer platform is already difficult to make a profit. I can't think of any benefits other than losing market share."

The game console was sold at a discounted cost, with a net loss of more than 200.

If you sell 100 million units, you will lose more than 2 million yuan. The more you sell, the more you will lose.

"you say……"

Li Tenglong pondered: "Will they plan to lose money on the game console and make money through the game?"

It has to be said that this is an excellent commercial marketing tool.

Like some hardware giants on Earth in the previous life, game consoles were sold at a discount, with a loss of several hundred, while games could earn back the money.

First spend money to build a platform, and then increase the sales. The games are almost popular, and they are just lying down to make money.

"Uh……"

Tian Moyun was stunned: "It's better that they don't think so, otherwise, they will definitely die a miserable death."

……

[Phoenix Game Console] vs [Dragon Scale Game Console]

On one side is 999 yuan + a large number of overseas classic games.

On one side are 799 yuan + six top domestic manufacturers, and Tian Moyun's new work "Snowman Brothers".

Both sides are attractive.

"Have you thought about it? Which one should you buy?"

"I want to experience overseas classic games, but the game lineup of [Dragon Scale] looks very exciting."

"I heard that the technology of overseas products is advanced, so I want to try it."

"What's the point of picking up foreign trash? I still support [Dragon Scale], a national brand, and I still use [Thunder]'s processor. It is said that the performance has been improved by four times, which is better than [Phoenix]."

"Yeah, there are also "Snowman Brothers" and the masterpieces of the six major manufacturers."

"The price is cheap, 799 yuan, which is a full 200 yuan cheaper than [Phoenix]. You can buy four games, and add another 100 yuan. For less than 900 yuan, you can buy all the new games from the six major manufacturers."

"By the way, has the game price on [Phoenix] come out?"

"It's out, the cheapest game is 99 yuan, and the most expensive is 399 yuan, do you still want to buy it?"

"I'll go, what game is so expensive, it's too bad."

"Looking at the introduction, this is an extremely popular overseas production. The original price can be sold for more than 500 yuan, and now it is still discounted."

"No big production can be sold at such an expensive price. I can't afford it, so I slipped away."

"For a masterpiece at 399 yuan, you can buy a game console with two games. It's too bad."

"Let's buy [Dragon Scale Game Console], I can't wait to experience it."

""Snowman Brothers" is said to be a super fun masterpiece, and young entrepreneurs personally lead the development... Heart-pounding."

……

When Tian Moyun heard the news, he was also stunned speechless.

"The lowest is 99 yuan, the highest is 399 yuan?"

The corner of Tian Moyun's mouth twitched: "I want to eat farts, [Phoenix Group]'s new president named Neil, it's possible that he didn't even figure out the market positioning?"

He felt a little unbelievable.

I can't figure out why Neil made such an "excellent" operation.

In his thinking: 【Phoenix Group】bringing the momentum of "Nirvana Rebirth" to release new game consoles strongly, it must want to create a "return of the king" drama, competing with [Thunder] and [Dragon Scale] for game manufacturers.

therefore--

In the situation of facing the rival [Dragon Scale Game], if [Phoenix] wants to gain an advantage, not only the price of the game console must be almost the same, but also the price of a series of "overseas classic masterpieces" released must be lowered to a level acceptable to players just work.

But now...

"The reason why the new game consoles are sold so cheap is firstly to completely harvest the low-end market, and secondly to expand the number of potential home console players."

"But [Phoenix] sells the game so expensive..."

"It's clear that I want to get back the loss of the game console from the game, so as to spread the operating cost and even realize the profit, but the problem is... the game is so expensive, how many players buy cheap game consoles? Can you afford it?"

"Is not this contradictory?"
