Chapter 344: The dance mat is released at the same time as MINI

"Zhi Duoxing GMINI, what is this? Shrink the machine a little, even if it's a new model?" Yamauchi looked at the report in his hand, disdainful.
This new game console of Zhiduoxing Company, as their peers, naturally bought several units at the first time, but soon discovered that the performance of this machine was not significantly improved than that of Zhiduoxing G.
The energy consumption has become lower, which does not have much effect on the game console. Everyone plugs in the power supply, and does not use the battery.
Game storage has changed from VCD to DVD and is compatible with VCD. This is some improvement, but it is also not very useful. For current games, VCD disc storage is enough. Where can I use a DVD?
This is to increase costs and ask for trouble.
In other respects, the overall size of the machine has shrunk. The appearance looks like a large CD player. There are still only two interfaces for the game controller.
The machine becomes smaller, but it saves space. The heat dissipation has also become better, this improvement is not bad, the availability is not great, very few people play for seven or eight hours in a row.
Ok? There is also a peripheral on it, the dance pad!
When I saw this peripheral, Yamauchi's heart twitched. He finally knew why Zhiduoxing developed the dancing machine. It turned out that he was waiting here.
The dancing machine is very popular in the arcade hall. Although you don’t buy much in each arcade hall, there are only two or three, but if your arcade hall does not, it means that you are outdated and will seriously affect passenger traffic.
At this time, the mainstream game consoles in the arcade hall are divided into three types. The first type is the traditional arcade game, which is similar to that of the video game console. The second type is amusement equipment such as dancing machines, tambourine machines, and shooting machines, among which dancing machines are the fastest growing.
The third kind is a sloppy one. It is said to win game currency, but in many places, this is turned into a gambling game. The winning lottery can be exchanged for money.
Of course, it is nominally a prize change, such as a rice cooker, a walkman or something, but at the back, it can be directly exchanged for money.
This is very popular in many parts of the world, and it is precisely because of this that Huaxia's arcade will be severely beaten for a while.
The original home game console was mainly used to play some traditional arcade games, but of course there are some more fun, such as some games that cannot be played in public places.
But now, Zhiduoxing can actually play the dancing machine, which will definitely attract a large number of players who like to go to the system. It is foreseeable that the sales of Zhiduoxing G will grow rapidly.
Chang Ni company, Sega Bandai, etc. are also studying Zhiduoxing GMINI, they all found that this product is not much of a feature, but because of the peripherals of the dancing machine, sales will inevitably increase significantly.
But they don't understand, obviously the peripherals of the dancing machine can be played with the old Zhiduoxing G. Why should they launch the MINI model? Don't you need money to develop this?
If Zhiduoxing becomes four in order to increase the handle interface, they can still understand, but still two. To play with four people, you still need a G+3 peripheral.
What makes them even more strange is, why does this MINI of Zhiduoxing need to change the storage method? VCD's technology is very mature, the cost is low, and the cost of piracy is relatively high, which has led to the release of Zhiduoxing's games.
This time I changed the DVD mode, which increased the cost, and I didn't see much effect. The new game is released, but it needs to be produced in two disc modes. What is this picture?
Just to promote the DVD format?
The DVD format is also the format that the company is planning to promote on the next-generation game consoles. It has a larger storage space than CDs and represents the future.
Now the content of the game will be bigger and bigger, especially in some games, the screen requirements inside are getting clearer and clearer, so that it can give players a better experience and can be sold more expensively.
If you add a series of games out of the collection, then the storage capacity of CD and VCD discs are not enough, you can only use DVD discs.
Su Ni finally reacted, Zhiduoxing intends to launch a collection of some series of games!
This idea coincides with that of Johnny. It’s just limited to technology. We can’t do this. It seems that this cake can only let Zhiduoxing eat it first.
But what about that, Zhiduoxing's MINI performance is still not as good as their PS1, relying on the collection of peripherals and games, maybe it can be sold a little, and it is useless.
If you switch to their company, it will definitely be a new generation of game consoles with better research and development performance. On the new game consoles, these new technologies will be used to make money by these methods.
There is not even the most basic 3D function yet. Why should Zhiduoxing compete with them?
However, the dancing machine peripheral is indeed a trouble. It seems that the sales of Zhiduoxing G must be completely distanced from the Schneider PS1, and it will also be distanced from the sales of N64.
Nowadays, on the 32-bit machine, the only sales that are still steadily increasing are Zhiduoxing and Changni. Game consoles such as 3DO and Sega Saturn can no longer be sold.
Even if they sell at a reduced price, they are only clearing their inventory, but even so, they still cannot sell. This is often the case. The cheaper you are, the less people buy it.
Chen Ni thought that to increase the promotion in the Southeast Asian market ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can suppress Zhiduoxing while increasing their sales. Unexpectedly, Zhiduoxing's sales in Southeast Asia have indeed declined, but they haven't improved much, wasting a lot of publicity expenses.
Who would have thought that an economic crisis would break out in Southeast Asia? Moreover, this wind has also hit the island market, making them not very good in recent days. The company's stock price has not fallen much, and the exchange rate has caused them to lose a lot.
It's a pity that they don't have good peripherals. If this dance mat is theirs, then Schneider is confident to completely suppress Nintendo!
On the day of the launch of Zhiduoxing GMINI, the sales volume of more than 60 countries and regions in the world was only more than 300,000 units, but the sales of Zhiduoxing G also increased to 300,000 units. At the same time, the sales of peripheral dance mats exceeded 500,000. A collection of several Zhiduoxing G games, with sales exceeding 100,000.
This data ushered in explosive growth on the second day. The sales of peripherals for dance mats exceeded one million, and the sales of Zhiduoxing GMINI also increased to 500,000 units, and the sales of Zhiduoxing G began to fall to two. One hundred thousand units.
After a week of sales statistics, everyone in the industry was stunned.
Only the peripherals of the dancing mat sold 5.3 million. The sales of Zhiduoxing GMINI also exceeded 2 million, and the sales of Zhiduoxing G also exceeded 1 million.
This week, no gaming machine manufacturer has the limelight of Zhiduoxing, and even in the next month, no one can match it.
Many people have labeled GMINI with sales of tens of millions of guarantees, but Zhang Yang wants to tell them that you are too conservative!
It was also at this time that a major event that shocked the entire game industry happened.
