Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 457 Is CD-ROM the star of the future...?

Youxing Electronic Entertainment's handhelds have been selling at a loss until now, with an average price of more than 20 dollars per unit.

So if you want to make a profit in the early stage, you must need a sufficient amount of video game sales.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment estimates that the annual sales of GSL handhelds should be close to 20 million units, or even 30 million units.

If it is 30 million units, it is a loss of more than 600 million machine costs.

If you want to earn it back, you need to make at least 600 million or more profits from video games.

The average profit of a first-party game with millions of sales is about 20 to 30 million US dollars.

Judging from the regular sales data of the first party of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, if it is a work supervised by Zhu Youxing himself, it may go straight to the tens of millions of sales.

And if it's just a first-party game, it's about 1 million to 3 million sales at most.

Well, under normal circumstances, this year's revenue on game cartridges can definitely make up for some of the cost losses on game consoles.

But all of this is based on the premise that the game can be released normally and the supply of cassettes is also stable.

However, now, there is a problem with the production of the cassette, and this problem may directly affect the production capacity of the cassette for three months.

Now is the high-frequency stage of the two confrontations, and a slight mistake by either side may affect the future pattern.

"I'm very sorry, customers. The supply of cassettes has been tight recently. You need to wait for some time for the Ocarina of Time cassettes you need."

"I still have to wait. I have been waiting for half a month."

When the time came to May, the shortage of cassettes began to gradually appear.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has tried its best to put more cassettes into popular works such as The Legend of Zelda. This is a bit unfair to other works, but this is also something that can’t be helped. The priority is to give priority to games with more players. A choice that must be made.

But even so, the inventory of cassettes is gradually stretched.

This is not only to provide a region in Japan, but also to provide game cartridges to the whole world.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of the players, the game store promised to send these users free mail as soon as they got the cassette goods, and a free digital game was attached. In the future, they only need to go to the online mall to exchange.

This can slightly alleviate the dissatisfaction of players, but their demand for entertainment will not be weakened in the slightest, as Chang Weiyu said. On the contrary, they will be more eager to obtain the entertainment brought by video games.

Nintendo in the previous life was very good at playing hunger marketing in the early days, deliberately creating a situation where some popular works were out of stock, making users even more eager to get their games.

But this is based on absolute advantages.

If Zhu Youxing wanted to do this in the early days, it must be no problem, because at that time there were almost no opponents, and he could be accepted by the players if he made some showy operations.

But it can't work now, Su Rui Electronics is staring at it.

The player walked out of Youxing Electronic Entertainment's store with some disappointment, but the clerk at the store selling Suri's video games on the same street immediately enthusiastically invited the player over.

"Guest, you can come to our house to try our latest game works, some of which are not inferior to Youxing Electronic Entertainment at all."

That player was a little disdainful, and he didn't believe the clerk's nonsense.

But after seeing the very cool game video screens at the entrance of Su Rui Electronics, he still couldn't help it.

Once people get used to the entertainment that video games bring, they can't easily accept the feeling of losing it.

Although it is not impossible to play old games, no one can refuse to have cooler and newer games.

In the end, the player walked into the store and bought a handheld and several games.

Because even if these games are not as good as those of Youxing Electronics Entertainment, the overall quality is not too bad.

Because these games were also produced by studios that made games for You Xingjia in the past.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the enlightenment of the world's game industry, and it is also the existence of the Whampoa Military Academy in the world's game industry. It has trained countless outstanding game producers, and they are also the treasure of this industry.

Now Su Rui Electronics also has many games with a quality of more than three and a half stars.

Players who do not have absolute strict requirements on the quality of video games are also acceptable.

Among the shops, the players finally chose Surui Electronics helplessly.

And in the media and newspapers, Chang Weiyu became excited again.

The solid sales data of Youxing Electronic Entertainment made him really lack confidence.

But now seeing the rapid growth of sales on their side, and the slow decline of their opponents due to the limited production capacity, he began to mock with a somewhat gloating tone.

I used to think that it was a bit of a loss to buy Youxing Electronic Entertainment for 10 billion, and then I wanted to buy it with 30 to 4 billion. Now it seems that I don’t need 30 to 4 billion, and a billion should be enough. It depends on Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Are you willing to let go, or, if Yuxing Electronics decides to re-use the form of optical disc carrier to make game consoles, Suri Electronics may provide a little 'technical assistance'

In short, in all interviews related to Chang Weiyu in the media, his words are very yin and yang.

Then he showed off from time to time how many capital favors his own online portal has won, and how many stable users his new online shopping imagination has.

In such a situation, he didn't forget to advertise himself to brag about himself, but he was still a bit smart.

At this time, Su Rui Electronics also took the opportunity to promote the benefits of its own optical disc standard.

The biggest advantage of CDs is that they are cheap, and the material is very convenient to obtain.

As long as the authorization is obtained, even a company with no technical foundation can quickly build a mature optical disc production line, and there is no such thing as limited production capacity.

So if there are other third-party manufacturers loyal to Youxing Electronic Entertainment who are interested, they are willing to provide any technical support.

If a third party wants to directly build an optical disc production line, their technicians will definitely provide the best technical service support.

For a while, there were more and more opinions about the advantages of optical discs. Some stakeholders also took the initiative to promote the carrier of optical discs, saying that this is the star of the future. There are too many uncertainties in flash memory chips, and the cost of materials is higher than that of optical discs. , and there is still a certain degree of difficulty in mining. In the end, they even moved out the argument of environmental protection. The production process of optical discs is more environmentally friendly than flash memory chips, and it is the best choice for industrial development in many regions.
