Chapter 310: Rise against the market

The sales of Zhiduoxing G rose again against the market, which made other manufacturers never expect that even they were envious and jealous.
Why, on a 32-bit machine, the performance of the Zhiduoxing G is not outstanding, it can only be regarded as medium, at least there is a gap with the PS of the Schneider, so it can grow?
Not to mention the first to exceed 10 million units in sales, it has been released for almost three years, and so many people are willing to buy it. Many people thought that the sales of Zhiduoxing G had come to an end.
Those manufacturers also found that the development route of Zhiduoxing G is different from that of traditional game console manufacturers. Everyone hopes to come up with a game console with the best performance and a cheap price, and then make money by selling games.
The game of Zhiduoxing has always been very civilian, the performance of the game console is not high, but the price is not the lowest. Previously, a vibrating handle was introduced to make Zhiduoxing G hot, and now a G+3 handle peripheral is made, and it is fired again.
The traditional kind of relying on game masterpieces to drive console sales, they can still accept, this way to increase the sales of game consoles, they have never seen.
It is not without manufacturers who have introduced peripherals before. Nintendo and Sega have done so, but without exception, they have not succeeded.
The fundamental reason is that the price of peripherals is too high. If I have the money to buy peripherals, I have bought a new game console. Why buy peripherals?
Even some manufacturers have made a faint move, don't you think buying peripherals is worse than buying a new game console, if the new game console is not backward compatible?
They thought that consumers would buy their peripherals for these reasons, but they didn't expect consumers to be reluctant to buy peripherals or even their new game consoles. The representative is Sega.
For these reasons, manufacturers have hesitated about the introduction of peripherals. As early as the previous year, Nintendo wanted to launch a new peripheral, that is 64DD.
This is a disk peripheral for the N64, which allows the N64 to have high read speeds while also taking care of high-capacity games and reducing hardware costs.
After all, the cost of Nintendo's game cartridges is actually much higher than that of CDs and floppy disks.
When Nintendo announced that the N64 would continue to use cassettes, many players expressed doubts. At that time, Nintendo announced that it would launch a peripheral 64DD on the N64.
This is a peripheral product that has been set before the N64 goes on sale. However, the peripherals launched by Sega for MD failed at that time, casting a shadow over Nintendo's new products.
At that time, Sega was also the second in the industry, and it had a competitive strength with Nintendo on the 16-bit machine. Sega has failed, and because of the failure of continuous products, Sega's financial problems have occurred, and now it has to sell some products at a reduced price and withdraw funds to ensure a merger with Bandai.
If Sega did not make a mistake, it might still merge with Bandai, but the shares won will definitely not be so small.
After the introduction of VB, Nintendo also failed. Until now, there are still many products backlogged in the warehouse. Like Sega's ND, it is too optimistic about the market.
Then Nintendo's GBP was introduced to the market, and it could not compete with the Zhiduo Z2. In the handheld market, Nintendo lost for the first time, and their position as a handheld overlord was seriously challenged.
Although the sales volume of the GB series is still better than that of Zhiduoxing Z, but the tradeoffs, who knows what the future looks like?
Nintendo can't accept the failure of three consecutive products, so this 64DD, since the establishment of the project, the research and development progress is very fast, but it has stalled this year. They dare not complete the research and development and push it to the market, afraid of failure again.
At the very least, Nintendo’s N64 is selling very well at this time, and it is growing very fast. It has been listed on the European market this year and has performed very well.
But they never imagined that they would be jointly attacked by Zhiduoxing and Chen Ni.
Suzy pulled Square Enix into the camp, which had a great impact on Nintendo. At the time, Nintendo sanctioned Square Enix to beat other game manufacturers. Since you are from our Nintendo camp, you cannot help other game machine manufacturers develop games. That is a rival!
However, they taught Square Enix and adopted a game of losing both sides. As a result, Nintendo's reputation was severely damaged. It is obviously Square Enix betrayed Nintendo, but now the public opinion is that Nintendo is too domineering and arrogant, all sympathizing with Square Enix.
Some third-party game manufacturers that originally had an agreement with Nintendo are now reluctant to continue the exclusive agreement after the contract expires. They either joined the Zhiduoxing camp or joined the Schneider camp.
Nintendo's president Yamauchi also thought about whether the original measures were too harsh, and if they talked about it, the situation would be different.
But he soon realized that if he didn't do it at the time, then many third-party game makers might become heads of grass. I don't know when to give Nintendo a knife. At least don't worry about this now.
Relying on more game support, the sales of PS1 of Schneider is still increasing rapidly. The 32-bit game consoles of the same period, Sega, 3DO, etc. are no longer sold. I heard that Sega has ceased production of Saturn. After the inventory is emptied, a new generation of game consoles, 128-bit game consoles, will be produced.
Originally, Zhiduoxing was in an unstoppable position. The number of games was not as good as that of Schneider and Nintendo. Their performance was not as good as them. The price was not cheaper. It only performed well on other products, which ensured that the company's brand value had been rising.
Some people say that Zhiduoxing G has replaced Sega as the second in the industry, but after the merger of Sega and Bandai, public opinion has turned back to Sega, thinking that Sega is the only manufacturer that can challenge Nintendo's status.
But at this time, Zhiduoxinxin made a dancing machine quietly, which swept the arcade market, and then came up with a peripheral to enhance the function. The sales of game consoles have grown even more rapidly.
On the degree of development of the European market~EbookFREE.me~ Zhiduoxing is first. At the beginning of the listing of the Zhiduoxing G, their banner was the global synchronous start. Although this is just a gimmick, in fact, many markets are not listed at all.
But then it progressed very quickly, and its popularity in Europe once suppressed Nintendo.
Now that the sales of Zhiduoxing G are growing rapidly again, Nintendo is very distressed. After many families buy 32-bit game consoles, they will not buy their N64 anymore, which will affect Nintendo's expansion.
Although in the world's two largest game markets, North America and island countries, Nintendo has guaranteed the leading position, but the European market is actually larger, but the cost of development is also higher.
Zhiduoxing doesn't worry. Has the market developed and was picked by others?
Yamauchi has made a decision that no matter what Zhiduoxing does, Nintendo develops according to the original plan, and it is also listed in batches in the European market, ensuring that their N64 can have a good sales in a few years.
At this time, Zhang Yang no longer focused on the sales of game consoles, but more concerned about the sales of games, especially computer games.
