Chapter 417: Zhiduoxing G discontinued

Zhiduoxing G2 is still more than a month away from the market, how to make players willing to continue to wait for a month? Just show Zhiduoxing's determination.
When Uranus North America was on sale for a week and sales reached 780,000 units, Zhiduoxing Group announced that Zhiduoxing G will be discontinued from today!
After this news came out, it made all the colleagues feel incredible.
Like Nintendo FC, it is still sold now, sold for more than ten years, and ran for twenty years. SFC, sales are also very low, but can still sell again.
It was not without the discontinuation of 32-bit game consoles before, but they all proved to have failed, and there is no point in sticking to it, only to increase losses.
However, the sales of Zhiduoxing G are not bad at all. Today, global sales have already exceeded 30 million units, and they have gone to 40 million units. They are very popular because of the cheap price.
Why did this discontinued game console sell well? Although the price of Zhiduoxing G has been lowered again and again, it was the technology of five years ago, the cost has dropped a lot, and today's price is not at a loss.
Stopping production of a product that is still making money, let everyone know that Zhiduoxing is full of confidence in G2.
Of course, there is another reason why Zhiduoxing Group dare to stop selling, that is, they still have MINI, this product has also sold nearly 30 million units, and it is still growing rapidly.
And the price of Zhiduoxing GMINI is higher, and it can also take into account the arcade market. It is no problem to leave a game console with similar performance and give up a lower profit margin.
Like JIINI, GMINI, Zhang Yangke is planning to sell it for a few more years.
With the addition of Zhiduoxing, the current model sales in the game console market have changed a lot compared to the previous generation. Game consoles from companies such as NEC withdrew from the market earlier, and sales were worse.
For example, the PS1 of Schneider, the sales volume is far less than the previous life. Not many people will buy the Chito Star G, and then buy the PS1, what do you need so many game consoles at home?
Therefore, Nintendo's N64 is only in its early 20s, but Nintendo firmly believes that it can break through 30 million units, and Zhang Yang feels unlikely.
Suddenly, the PS1 is only more than 30 million units, and the sales of 40 million is a major obstacle. And just because Zhi Duoxing launched MINI first, even if it is PSone, sales may not be as good.
A total of 100 million units of the first-generation PS products of previous generations were sold. In this life, it is definitely not as good as the first-generation products of Zhiduoxing G. It can be sold out if it can sell 50 to 60 million.
When Zhiduoxing G stopped production, Zhiduoxing Group also found some media to interview, which is also a kind of publicity. To tell everyone, the Zhiduoxing G2 is about to be launched, and how confident the Zhiduoxing Group is in this product, and it also firmly determines the determination of players to wait for the Zhiduoxing G2 to be listed.
...
Looking at Uranus' sales statistics in North America, Ogawa Kung was not as good as the island market. This is not normal.
The island market has historically been inferior to the North American market, not only for economic reasons, but also because the North American market is larger and has a larger population. In addition to the United States and Ghana, both are developed countries, and the economic environment is excellent.
In addition, the two countries are very sparsely populated. Many people live in small towns, farms and other places, far from the city. This doesn't look very noisy, but it also lacks a lot of entertainment.
Game consoles are good companions for how many people pass the boring time, not just for children.
In general, sales in the North American market are more than double those in the island market, and even some companies in the North American market can account for half of the global market, such as Nintendo.
When Sega’s MD developed very well in North America, it once suppressed Nintendo. At that time, it was Sega’s most beautiful moment.
Unfortunately, the happy time is always so short. Since Sega launched the ND handheld, the good days will never be gone. Coupled with the failure of Saturn, Sega almost did not go bankrupt.
After personally lobbying by Ogawa, he finally merged with Bandai, and also obtained many precious animation copyrights. After it was developed, it was very popular in the island market.
Among them, the Gundam, such as Gundam, also performed well in North America, because Gundam is extremely well-known in the world.
In order for Uranus to be launched in the North American market ahead of time, Ogawa Gong also agreed to Microsoft's shareholding. He knew it was risky, and once he retired, it would be obvious whose company Sega Bandai would become.
But he had no other way, no suitable heirs, and no confidence to survive. What's more, Microsoft has already made a gesture on the other side. If you don't agree, I will make the game console by myself.
I thought that Microsoft would be able to perform very well again in the North American market after it became a shareholder, but whoever wanted to think did not give him a big surprise.
This sales curve is not necessarily comparable to the N64. Where can N64 compare to their Uranus performance?
Ogawa Gong thought for a long time, there may be two reasons. One is that Zhiduoxing Group's publicity has skyrocketed, and TV, paper media, and the Internet are all promoting the news that Zhiduoxing G has ceased production ~EbookFREE.me~ to be listed soon.
In addition to the promo videos of the previous games, many players have a great sense of anticipation of the game effects on G2.
Another reason is that the masterpieces on Uranus are not very popular with the North American market. Sega Bandai lacks the world-famous masterpieces like Nintendo's Super Mario, and they really don't have a huge amount of money to develop top games.
Nintendo can frantically spend $40 million to develop a game, which seems incredible to other companies. How much do they spend on developing game consoles?
But Nintendo can do this, and it can make the price of the game more expensive than the console, and players will be willing to buy it. At this point, Nintendo is doing the best, no other company can match.
Ogawa Gong sighed, the present Sega Bandai is too difficult. In the case that their 128-bit game consoles are listed earlier than other companies, they still cannot occupy an absolute lead.
When the Zhiduoxing G2, Chang Ni PS2, etc. are listed, can their products be sold?
This time Uranus' research and development costs are not particularly high. After all, it has the previous foundation, but the cost of publicity is too much. They spent nearly 100 million US dollars, but the effect was not satisfactory.
The most fundamental reason is that other companies are also burning money to advertise, grab the market, and divert the attention of consumers. Especially Zhiduoxing, advertising is the craziest.
The Zhiduoxing Group will also become Sega Bandai's first competitor on 128-bit game consoles. The advertisement that Uranus please use before July will give Sega Bandai a heavy blow.
How could Sega Bandai, once a magnificent scenery, fall out of favor in the minds of players? The new game console of Zhiduoxing is really so fun?
