Chapter 2: Breaking Records

This time, the red and white machine press conference, don't look at the area of the venue, it is not particularly large, but there are many people watching.

Prior to the press conference, Chiba Games contacted several broadcasting associations and was able to broadcast throughout Japan. The United States, on the other hand, has also found several big TV stations to broadcast live through the technology of satellite signal transmission. Because of the language, the version played here also needs to have a synchronous dubbing.

Video games cover dozens of millions of players, and the total number of users using Chiba Gamer's genuine products, plus the current China, is almost 500 million.

That's 500 million without rounding!

Chiba games are the masters of this market, and the release of the new super red and white machine, how not to make people pay attention to it, how not to make people excited.

Of course, there are also those who are not excited.

For example, a loyal fan of the Video Game League. When they see the new product launch of Chiba Games, they either don't watch it, or they look at it with a critical eye.

In the eyes of these fans of the video game league, Chiba games are their sworn enemies, and the game consoles released by the sworn enemies are not touched at all.

Of course, the number of such complete fans is very small.

In the United States, there are less than 100,000 people.

The rest of the video game league console players are basically dual-console users. A console that plays both Chiba games and video game leagues.

Compared with the richness and variety of games on the Chiba game console platform, the number of video games on the video game alliance platform is actually not too many, and the variety is relatively simple.

However, there are also some peculiarities. So, one of the reasons why these players buy video game league consoles is to make up for the gaming experience on this part of the game.

Compared to other game console manufacturers except Chiba Games. Each generation of consoles in the video game league can sell nearly 10 million units, so it is actually a behemoth.

However, compared to a behemoth like Chiba Games, the behemoth is too weak.

Originally. Chiba Yuki wanted Lin Yan to demonstrate the actual machine at the press conference, but Lin Yan refused. He said that young people should be given a chance.

Chiba Yuki said that many people think of you as the god of video games, so you go and show your hand.

Lin Yan shyly refused.

Although he is not in-depth now, and he has also shown his head, he is still afraid that he will do what if he has a black hand and plays the new super red and white machine to death.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the qualities of the new super red-and-white machine. In the back of his heart, he was always afraid of accidents.

Fortunately, however, there were no accidents.

It seems that he is not a crow's mouth, Lin Yan cracked his mouth and smiled.

Although the press conference is live, there are many players who can see what they want to see.

However, these print media do not mean to relax at all. Instead, I tried my best to write the manuscript.

The next day, the newspapers were full of all sorts. There are reports about Chiba Games and the new generation of Chiba Games consoles.

Newspapers and magazines have different emphases, some talk about graphics, some talk about controllers, some talk about next-generation storage media, others say the price of machines, and some say the price of games.

The blessing of the inexpensive storage medium of the compact disc. Although the game is three-dimensional, it has led to a significant increase in the cost of making a game.

However, due to the low cost of the disc itself, the overall price has not increased.

You know, the video game industry. But it is a very price-sensitive industry.

Some games tend to sell a lot more when they are discounted.

On the one hand, the game may indeed have some shortcomings that don't attract players to buy it.

On the other hand, the other side is full, in fact, people have less money in their hands, but the game is a little expensive.

Because Japan's red and white machines do not have a relationship with region-locked chips, a large part of the pirated game cartridges produced in Taiwan have flowed into Japan.

Although the red and white machine is already a very old game platform, many Japanese people are still surprised when they play such a cheap game.

Of course, Taiwan has no advantages compared with Japan in terms of hardware costs, and even has some disadvantages.

However, they have one more economical point, which is that they don't have to pay royalties.

That's why the price is so low.

This is like a foreigner who stumbles upon China's pirated game network, just like the feeling of digging up a treasure when the three mothers, the nomads and the stars.

Genuine gamers who play pirated games in this era will indeed be surprised by the selling price.

However, due to the law and various reasons, pirated games have not become popular on a large scale in Japan.

Of course, a big part of the reason for this is because pirated games are all red and white machine games. The games of Super Red and White and New Super Red and White are not.

This is because the super red and white machine, and the new super red and white machine, both use a lot of their own technology, rather than the relationship between general technology.

However, for the anti-piracy work on the new super red and white machine, Chiba Games is not so optimistic. Compared to memory, you can add an encryption chip on it to prevent piracy.

You can't add any chips to the disc. Now the only reliable and cost-effective encryption method is to put some special code on the ring in the center of the disc, the transparent inner edge, and scan the code when entering the machine, and if the code is wrong, spit out the disc.

However, this kind of technology is not too high-tech technology, as long as you have the heart, a small workshop on the street, and a machine can make this kind of laser.

Another big change and more favorable is that there are new variables in the way the game is promoted.

Due to the mass production of optical discs, the cost per sheet is very low.

Now on "Game Pass", it has begun to give away game CDs with magazines. Because of the new super red and white machine, you can watch videos, so there are not only video discs for game clearance, but also demo discs for games.

This is another reason for people to buy game magazines, and it also gives those game manufacturers some ideas.

After all, compared to other people's pen and paper descriptions, it is more reliable to play with your own hands.

Even, because of the new super red and white machine, which can watch videos, many people do not buy it for playing games, but for watching videos, just like buying a lightweight video tape player.

With this, Chiba Games has also come into contact with major film and television companies, and from them, it has come into contact with many film and television dramas and obtained a lot of authorizations.

For these new channels that suddenly appeared, these film and television companies are very interested.

In the first week of its release, the new Super Red and White machine sold 5 million in the first week, breaking the record. (To be continued.) )
