Chapter 501: 1 step faster

Zhang Yang remembered the PsP of the previous life, which can also be used as mP4 and can play movies. When this function appeared at that time, it was very popular.
However, the high price and the small number of best-selling games led to PsP still losing to Nintendo's gBa series.
Now that Zhiduoxing is thinking about compatibility with mP3 functions, consumers will be more accustomed to continue to be compatible with mP4 audio and video functions in the future.
The company has a large number of R&D personnel, and the person in charge may not think of some directions, but others can think of it, which saves Zhang Yang a lot of worry.
After more than half a month, the Ps2 and Nintendo ngc of Asahi are in the ascending period. Zhiduoxing announced that the fourth-generation handheld Zhiduoxing z4 began to accept reservations.
In the same way as in the past, global synchronization, more than ten language versions, half prepaid, can be purchased in one step after one month.
The 32-bit handheld, after the performance was announced, instantly attracted the attention of many players, how many people went directly to the store to line up, hoping to buy it the first time.
The advantage of handheld is portability, no matter where you are, you can play. It can be in the car, in the bedroom, in the classroom, or in the hospital (it seems that this scene seems a bit strange), which is much more convenient than the video game console.
The longest use time of eight hours is enough to meet the requirements of most players. After all, you can still play while charging. And you don’t have to buy new batteries all the time, which saves some money, right?
There were still many people remembering the classic 32-bit game on the Zhiduoxing g, not to mention that this time it was not just the classic game from Zhiduoxing, but also included some 32-bit games from other companies.
Players in the past could not play these games, but now they can play them.
During this time, Nintendo continued to attract third-party game companies, for which it did not spend less money, not only to rebuild its game camp, but also because their 32-bit handheld gBa was going to be listed.
It's just that Nintendo didn't expect it to let Zhiduoxing take another step ahead. No wonder some game companies' quotations were so high, it turned out that there was a price increase!
The abominable thing is that those game companies didn't even say that. If Nintendo knows that Zhiduoxing's z4 is going to be listed, they will definitely make some responses, such as speeding up the research and development progress, or releasing some promotional videos in advance to attract players, it is too late now.
The emergence of z4 has attracted attention from other three major game console manufacturers.
Chang Ni has long wanted to be a handheld, with only video game consoles, obviously feeling the lack of a new profit channel. There are also a lot of 32-bit game copyrights. As their Ps1 sales continue to decline, they have not made any money. Psone is listed, and the sales are very general, far from expectations.
Let some games that are about to become uninterested regain their vitality and make more profits for the company, then you need a handheld that can drive 32-bit games.
Su Ni thinks that the performance of the game console is the most important. As long as the performance is good, it will definitely be favored by consumers and can also open the gap with other game consoles.
In fact, they have always had the idea of ​​developing 32-bit machines, just want to wait for Psone to sell first, otherwise 32-bit handhelds will definitely affect its sales.
Before Nintendo has been talking about the benefits of gBa, Chang Ni did not care too much, and now seeing the pre-sale situation of z4, Chang Ni is moved.
We also need to have our own handhelds, and they must be more fun, have better performance, have a larger screen, stronger battery life, and stronger sound quality.
Sega Bandai is in a meeting here. Bill Gates also flew to the island country at the invitation of Okawa Kung. By the way, he can also check the work of the Microsoft branch here.
"Everyone, when Nintendo announced the launch of the 32-bit handheld gBa, we discussed whether Sega Bandai should continue to be a handheld."
"I know that every previous Sega handheld failed, and it caused a lot of losses to the company. But the company's technology at that time was far less than it is now, and there is no help from Microsoft."
"Now our technology has improved several times than it was at the beginning, and we have sufficient funds. With Microsoft's help in system development, we also have other partners."
"Everyone also sees that the Zhiduoxing z4 is currently available for pre-sale, and many players are queuing up to book. In a week's time, their bookings have exceeded one million units!"
"What about a month? How much sales can be achieved after going to market?"
"We also dismantled the Zhiduoxing z4 machine. The production cost of this machine will not exceed one hundred dollars. They currently have two different designs with the same performance. One sells for 129 dollars, and the other sells for 149 dollars. Everyone I’m afraid I can’t imagine that the $149 handheld will sell better because the design is very novel."
"We have a lot of 32-bit games, and they used to sell well and sold more than one million copies. Now we also have games adapted from Bandai's anime. If we launch the handheld, the sales will definitely not be bad."
"As long as we can sell 10 million units, it is enough to ensure that this product will bring profits to the company. The subsequent games will definitely have higher profits."
"We also have relevant experience in the development of handhelds. As long as we make up for some previous mistakes and sell 10 million units, it should be very easy. This number can be reached in island countries and North America."
"The industry competition of handhelds is smaller than that of video game consoles. On the video game consoles, our Super Uranus' current sales can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, stop the loss, but can not make any money."
"If the company wants to make money, it needs a new revenue direction. One is to license our games to other game console manufacturers, which reduces the competitiveness of our game consoles, and the other is to develop new hardware equipment to let our Game sales have increased."
Kazuhiro Ueno sneered at Ogawa Kung, "So what about development funds? Do you know how much money someone else used to do it? EbookFREE.me~? At least a few hundred million dollars in expenses."
"Hardware architecture, software research and development, publicity, production, game transplantation, etc., they can even take out one billion dollars to do this, can we?"
Sega Bandai does not have so much liquidity at all, let alone a billion dollars, half of them do not. Moreover, it is not possible to reduce the cost of publicity for TV game consoles, otherwise there will be a loss here.
Mr. Ogawa said: "So are you going to let us abandon this business? Do you know that Chang Ni has also started to develop handhelds? A company that has never done handhelds dare to do it, but we have experience but want to Give up? The company's revenue, how can you solve it?"
"I can solve the problem of funds. Bill, will you help?"
Bill Gates has a triumphant smile on his face: "Of course, I will let Microsoft inject capital into Sega Bandai, and at the same time develop a better system for the new Sega Bandai handheld."
"Others are one step ahead of us, and we can still catch up. If we are fast, we are unlikely to catch up."
