Super Tycoon

Chairman, here are the performance parameters and prices of the game consoles announced by Nintendo and Sunny, followed by a list of the games they are going to launch on the market.

Sunny actually set the price at 600 US dollars, which is too expensive, so they don't worry that no one will buy it? But their computing performance is indeed super powerful, much better than the three of us, and the picture must be very good .”

If Souni sells well, they will definitely make a lot of money, which is not good news for us.

Sun Tengfei sat on the sofa in the hotel and reported the situation to Zhang Yang. He didn't understand why the chairman came to North America to participate in the e3 game show, but basically didn't show up.

How big is the price difference between a 20G hard drive and a 60G hard drive? Zhang Yang asked.

This company has learned before that if it is purchased from SanDisk, the price difference is about 100 US dollars. If it is purchased from Dongzhi Company or Western Digital, the price difference is about 110 US dollars.

Dongzhi's hard disk technology is indeed very good. In Zhang Yang's previous life, Dongzhi's mechanical hard disk was also the world's largest. In fact, there is not much difference.

And the price gap of ten dollars does not affect consumers, but the profits of manufacturers.

The prices of hard disks in the market are basically the same. If a large number of SanDisk hard disks are purchased, according to the agreement, the price can be reduced by 5%.

It doesn't seem like much, but if there are tens of millions of purchases, there is a profit gap of tens of millions of dollars. How many companies don't have these turnovers for a year, let alone profits.

The current retail price is $600 for Souni, $400 for Sega Bandai, $300 for us, and $250 for Nintendo. There is not much difference between us and Nintendo, and our hardware has obvious advantages, and there is no gap in games. , you can ignore it.

Sega Bandai's CU is very strong, and Souni's CU is also very strong, but in terms of game performance, they don't have much advantage, so this price gap will be their weakness.

What is our current production cost for a host? Has it been reduced?

Sun Tengfei nodded: Yes. I talked to Mr. Zhao before I came here. Now the production cost of one is about 260 US dollars. If we replace the 60g hard drive, our cost will become about 350 to 355 US dollars.

If it is replaced with a 40G hard drive, the cost can be reduced to about US$295. We can guarantee that the current price will not drop, and give consumers a sense of product upgrade.

Sun Tengfei understood what the chairman meant,

Just to upgrade the hardware. Upgrade the most obvious hard drive first, and leave everything else the same.

If it is replaced with a 60G hard drive, when can the cost be reduced to less than $300? Zhang Yang asked.

Well, I have to ask Mr. Zhao. The specifications of semiconductors are decreasing now. The mainstream ones are 90n and 65n. Among them, Sunny uses 65n, so their cu performance is stronger, and they are not that big. big.

Don't worry, our price can't suppress Nintendo anyway. We just need to wait until the Soni s3 goes on the market, and our 60g hard disk g3 can go on the market. If it doesn't work, the price can be raised by $50.

Even at $350, the G3 is the second-lowest selling console of this generation. Moreover, Zhiduoxing has accumulated a lot of good reputation before, and it is normal for the hardware performance to be upgraded and the price to be increased.

Remember, when Sonny starts pre-sales, we don't launch the g3 with new specifications, and don't reveal the news of price cuts for the old models. But when the s3 is officially launched, or a week before the launch, we announce it and let them catch them blind .”

Wasn’t Suuni attacking that Zhiduoxing’s hard drive capacity is too small to store too many games? Then tell them that we have increased, but what we sell is still cheaper and more friendly to the people.

In terms of picture quality, Zhiduoxing g3 can't compare with Sunny's s3, but it is also clearer than Nintendo's. And Zhiduoxing also has somatosensory games, which is a topic that Sunny and Sega Bandai cannot avoid.

Zhiduxing and Nintendo have been jointly promoting the concept of somatosensory games, and many markets around the world already know it. Speaking of it, Nintendo has saved a lot of effort, and everyone has already begun to accept somatosensory games.

The joint publicity also helped Zhiduoxing to accumulate more advantages in the early stage, and the products sold faster, so that the sales gap between Neptune and Neptune could be widened faster.

Including pre-sales, Neptune has been on sale for a year, and the sales volume has exceeded 20 million units, which has reached the best-selling standard. Finally, Sega Bandai has not hit the street again this time.

However, there is still a big gap with their expected sales volume, which is close to 10 million units less.

However, the pre-sale time of Zhiduxing's g3 is longer, and the official launch time is more than a month shorter, but the sales volume has exceeded 35 million units, and it is moving towards 40 million units.

Now two more game console manufacturers have announced that a new generation of game consoles will be launched soon, which will definitely affect the sales of G3 and Neptune.

Zhang Yang can be sure that Neptune will definitely not be able to reach the sales volume of xbox360 in the previous life. In the previous life, there were more than 80 million units, close to 90 million. In the previous life, the sales volume of the s3 was also close to 100 million, and in the previous life, the sales volume of the wii exceeded 100 million.

And there is a big feature of Wii game sales, that is, the masterpieces of games developed by them are extremely popular, which are very suitable for their platform, but the games developed by third-party game companies are very mediocre.

The most fundamental reason is that the Wii's CU performance is relatively weak, so many games with strong expressive power are not considered successful on the Wii platform.

Then third-party game manufacturers can't make money, but Nintendo can make a lot of money. So in the previous life, after 2008, the advantage of wii gradually declined, just because more third-party game manufacturers went to Sunny and Microsoft.

But in this life, Zhi Duoxing will change this.

Zhiduoxing's game platform has contacted more third-party game manufacturers, and many games do not require exclusive rights, allowing third-party game manufacturers to release on multiple platforms.

Anyway, Nintendo and Sunny’s game consoles haven’t hit the market yet, and Sega Bandai’s consoles are not selling as well as Zhiduxing. Does it matter which console manufacturer the game manufacturers value more?

To have a one-year monopoly is nothing more than blocking Sega Bandai. In fact, the best-selling games of Sega Bandai are also developed by themselves, a large number of American games, and a large number of anime-adapted games.

The game team of Zhiduoxing Group is not that big, and relies more on second-party and third-party game companies. These can ensure that Zhiduoxing has always been in a mandatory position and ensure that the sales ratio of games and consoles remains higher.

In terms of hardware, Zhiduoxing does not need to make money, but software must make money, and more money must be made.

Tengfei, you are in charge of the affairs here. Tomorrow we will hold a product promotion meeting. We can tell everyone that we have launched a new peripheral steering wheel, etc., and we can also promote some new games.

Some information should be kept highly confidential, so as to give Suuni a fatal blow at the critical moment!
