Chapter 268: The Glory of the Handheld
"How much does the GamePalyer handheld sell for and on what basis?"
The first to be pointed out was a reporter from Canton, who was already an acquaintance of the Age of Miracles.
Zhangshan, a prosaic name, has witnessed the development of the Age of Miracles all the way.
Now Ping Xiangtong will also give priority to some media with a good impression, such as interviews and press conferences.
Li Fangcheng looked at the person who asked the question with appreciation, he just forgot to mention the price of the handheld, and it was commendable that the first person to ask the question asked so quickly.
If you take a closer look, there is a smile on the corner of your mouth, this person can be regarded as a frequent visitor, from a shy intern at the beginning, to an intermediate reporter now, all the way to follow the miracle era of people, every time the miracle era is a little moved, he will always be the first to see him.
"That's a good question, the GP is priced at $66, and this price, as you believe you know, is already the lowest price ever seen in the world's handhelds, and the reason why this price is set is because we set the price without losing money. Li Fangcheng glanced around and made a joke: "After all, I still have a lot of people to feed here, and we are not giants, and it is unaffordable for the Miracle Age to sell at a loss." ”
The audience couldn't help but smile knowingly, this is a turning and turning Nintendo and Sega, and a group of human spirits can naturally hear it.
"As far as we know, there is a technical problem with the high price of handheld computers, is it possible that the Age of Miracles has mastered more mature technology?" The person who asked the question was a reporter from the Tokyo newspaper in Japan.
This question can be seen to be a thorny question, Japan has Nintendo and Sega, and the technical level and ability are the top in the entire video game industry, but the handheld is sold so expensive, because of technical problems.
Li Fangcheng's answer just now seemed to be slapping Nintendo and Sega in the face!
This reporter from Japan asked a very good question. Li Fangcheng smiled and sighed: "This is thanks to Sony, Sony's unconditional technical support, we have developed a handheld machine, Miracle Technology and Sony's cooperation, to break through some technical problems, this is to break through the technical barriers in one fell swoop, a record low, thanks to Japan's friendly army, Sony." ”
As soon as the words fell, the reporter who asked the question could only sit down with a pale face.
Everyone has said that the credit lies in Sony's help, and Sony is a Japanese company, what else can he say?
And other reporters also shook their heads, Sony, such a giant can easily stir up the storm with a force!
It's just that what many people don't know is that what Li Fangcheng said is only part of the reason, and the real reason is not so simple!
Ken Kutaragi, the soul of Sony, is like Yuyuki Suzuki to Sega and Shigeru Miyamoto to Nintendo.
Many people have always thought that Sony's involvement in the game industry was accidental. In fact, Sony has long coveted this fat. Last year, Ken Kutaragi of Sony's Home Appliances Division proposed a plan to develop a portable game console, and the console named "Game Man" was similar in design to the Game Boy.
The body of the handheld is also designed in portrait orientation, and it also uses a low-power black and white liquid crystal.
Even Ken Kutaragi once considered using cutting-edge infrared technology for communication battles, but unfortunately by the time Sony launched it, Nintendo had already launched, and the GB handheld escorted by Mario Continent and Tetris also defeated Sony in a devastating way.
If Sega died on the color screen and the battery life was insufficient, then Sony's defeat was on Tetris.
Of course, Sony's handheld has not been developed, but the family members who can't stand the sales of tens of millions are also handhelds!
Although it is an alternative handheld, the technical stuff will not be discounted much.
The logical interaction system of family members is not weaker than that of ordinary handhelds!
It's just that there is a lack of suitable motherboards and matching debugging between various components, but after cooperating with SNK, this problem was quickly solved.
I have to say that SNK's hardware design is unique, and the fit of a set of components and accessories is so high that it can merge multiple platforms, SNK can be said to be one of the third parties with the least reputation and stains.
"Is this handheld the main product after the Age of Miracles?"
"It can't be defined like that, in my opinion, everything related to the game is our core project, and the others are secondary projects, such as Miracle Release, which is definitely not as important as the Miracle Era, and we will not give up any possibility, because we have only one mission, that is, not to disgrace players!"
The deafening voice calmed the group!
The players were even more silent in the audience, and then thunderous applause rang out!
Respect for players, the behavior of the Age of Miracles has made players get great recognition again and again.
"The handheld with interchangeable game cartridges is the first in the world, so why make such a handheld?"
"It's actually very simple, players' love for handheld comes from the convenience and speed, and they can play anytime, anywhere. But we all know that the handheld can only be loaded with one game, in other words, if the player wants to play several games, they need to bring a few handhelds, in this way, isn't it contrary to the original intention of the handheld?
Li Fangcheng put his fingers together and made a flowering gesture: "So, the idea was born." ”
"Then why don't you make a CD-ROM drive like Xingchen and use it in the form of a CD-ROM to make a handheld?"
"This involves a problem, the size of the host is large, and the installation of the general optical drive is also a problem, but the main engine is connected to the power to have power, the power required for the operation of the optical drive is a little higher than the general cassette, the sound will be a little louder, and the reading speed is also a little longer, these are on the host, there is no problem, because the host is a game that needs to take time and effort to treat. ”
Li Fangcheng pointed to the image: "And the handheld is different, if the handheld consumes too much power, then we go out to play and there is no power, then what else do the handhelds do?
A day of check-ups and fillings......
