Chapter 254: See who laughs to the end

"What did you say, Zhiduoxing's Z2 was announced for sale, and it was accepted for booking at this time, and the price was 9800 yen? Do they think their products will sell so well? Learn to increase prices like Sega?"
Several Nintendo executives sat together, and when they heard the news, they all felt funny.
They also know the parameters of the Zhiduoxing Z2. Although they have made some innovations in storage, the screen has also added a backlight function and supports the replacement of game cards, but in fact the performance has not been significantly improved.
Such a black and white screen handheld that has not changed much in other respects, why sell it so expensive? The price on the American market is $149. Is this the same as Sega's ND?
The ND is at least a 16-bit handheld, or a color screen, and is compatible with MD game cassettes. At this point, it has a great advantage. The Zhiduo Z2 is not compatible with the previous generation at all, because the previous generation has no game cassettes, games It is cured into the machine.
"Wait a minute, don't you think it's weird? Zhiduoxing has always been focusing on cheap strategies, selling game consoles at high prices, and they lowered the price of game discs to open the market."
"This time, why did Chistar increase the price of the handheld in reverse? Their Chistar X1 sales are not good. Although they are better than Atari and NEC, they are far worse than our GB. Where did they come from? Guts?"
After some people questioned it, everyone else was in deep contemplation, yeah, why did Ji Duoxing do this?
"You said it is possible, this time Zhiduoxing is very confident in his game?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, some people objected: "How is this possible, there are more games on the handheld than Super Mario Continent and Tetris?"
The 16-bit game cassette compatible with MD on the ND side definitely has more fun games, but the shortcomings of power consumption, after the players find out, the word of mouth will inevitably plunge.
At this time, the reason why Nintendo ignored it was that Sega was in a state of arrogance, crazy production, and when it could not be sold, Sega would pay for it.
Zhi Duoxing's Z2 is still an 8-bit game. Where can I have confidence that there are more fun games? Are there any game companies that will develop such 8-bit games? Only they have some companies on Nintendo?
After all, Nintendo FC is still on sale. Although the sales volume is very low today, there are still some players. They plan to sell this product for 20 years and then stop production.
"I heard that this time the Zhiduoxing handheld will be equipped with a game produced by the Huadao Elf Company, called the pet elf, also called Pokemon."
"It is said that this is based on the electronic pet. It is highly playable and will be liked by many people. If this game can reach the hot sales of electronic pets, it may really threaten our GB status."
The sales of electronic pets have exceeded 10 million units, and are still growing rapidly. It is said that the second generation will be launched soon, and some new pets will be added.
Among these video game machine products, one million is one level, and ten million is another level.
Previously, Nintendo’s GB sales were unmatched by other companies. They monopolized a grade, which was similar to other companies.
But if the sales of Zhiduoxing Z2 can exceed 10 million units, it will be different. This will become a rival of Nintendo!
"What's the use of guessing here, let's look at the results first. Also, don't just think about Zhiduoxing, Sega's ND will also be listed on the island market."
...
"Okura, what are you doing? I saved some pocket money to buy a new handheld game console."
"I also intend to buy a new handheld game console, you also want to buy ND?" Kokura is also happy.
"Who buys ND? Didn’t you read the newspaper? It said that ND has too many shortcomings, high power consumption, poor battery life, and it is a variant of MD. It’s not fun."
Ogura froze for a moment: "What are you going to buy, GB, don't you have one?"
"No, I bought Zhiduoxing Z2, a new handheld game console launched by Zhiduoxing, and listen to give away a game developed with Pikachu as the main character, which is fun."
"Pikachu? Are you sure? Don't just be a gimmick?" Kokura didn't believe it.
"What gimmick, you forgot, many games launched by Zhiduoxing Company are cheap and fun. You haven't played the Zhiduoxing G of my cousin's family, you said that KOF is not fun. Now that shooting game called decisive city, With the new vibration handle, the experience is particularly good."
"Then, if you buy one first, I'll look back and talk about it." Kokura moved, don't buy anything that's not fun, it's thanks to the pocket money that was easily saved, and I usually don't want to spend it at school lunch .
The counter of Zhiduoxing is very close to the counter of Sega. The people on both sides of the counter are looking at each other. They all hope that their products can be sold better, so that they can get more bonuses.
At the beginning, there were almost two people queuing up on both sides, but after an hour, there were still many people queuing at Zhiduoxing, and people at Sega had already seen their heads, and some people even went to queue up at Zhiduoxing~ EbookFREE.me~ Hello, I have a look at this. Is there a scratch here, can I return it? "A middle school student looked at the salesperson at the Sega counter.
"We can replace it for free."
"I don't want to replace it, I want to return it. You sell it to me, I want to return it!" the middle school student insisted.
"Well, okay, so is the invoice you just purchased, we can handle the return for you."
"Oh~~It’s so good~~If you go back to buy Z2, you can save 2,000 yen!"
Sega's salesperson: "..."
So your return is not because there is a scratch on the shell, you just want to buy Zhi Duoxing Z2?
The sales statistics on the first day of the island market came out. The sales of Zhiduoxing Z2 reached 240,000 units, and Sega's ND reached 190,000 units.
The person in charge of Sega looked at the sales statistics, and his face was very bad. Huh, Zhiduoxing Company is deliberately deliberate, and chose to sell on the same day as the island market.
On the first day, what did you sell better? Looking back, it depends on who the player prefers. But we can play hundreds of games, can Zhiduoxing do it?
The difference in the number of games is the difference between the world. This time, Zhiduoxing will lose!
It seems that the handheld market, it is their turn to take charge of Sega. What Zhiduoxing, what Nintendo, all stand aside!
Zhang Yang also looked at the sales statistics of the island market, and he was very satisfied with it. The next step is to continue advertising, and then wait for word of mouth fermentation. He personally tried the Pokemon, and this game is indeed very good.
I believe that it won't take long to attract countless players. Isn't Sega full of confidence, then see who laughs last!
