Chapter 57: The Logic of the Robbers
The sales volume of the red and white machine in the world has just exceeded 100 million, and the press conference of the super red and white machine was held.
The convening of the super red and white machine conference represents that the home game console has entered a new era, upgrading from an eight-bit machine to a sixteen-bit machine.
This may be a bit abstract, but the most intuitive change players feel is that the graphics have become more detailed. Although, you can still see obvious mosaic marks, but it is already very good, at least one of the arcs looks like an arc, not a zigzag line.
Lin Yan participated in the press conference of the super red and white machine. This press conference was held in Tokyo as the first product press conference of Chiba Games. The reason why the press conference was held this time is not only to express the attitude that Chiba Games attaches great importance to the super red and white machine, but also to the release of another blockbuster news.
The super red and white machine will be launched simultaneously in more than 20 countries such as Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. The first game is basically the same, and each game cartridge will be released in the corresponding language according to the language of the corresponding region, and there are a total of eight languages, which is very balanced.
This news simply detonated the entire press conference, the reporters with the microphone rushed to raise their hands to ask questions, the reporters with notebooks were busy writing the newsletter, and the reporters in charge of running errands were busy delivering the news.
The time of the press conference was at the time of the noon news broadcast, and the news programs of several TV stations urgently inserted the short message of the Chiba Game Super Red and White Machine "Global Simultaneous Sale".
It looks like an exaggeration, but it's not an exaggeration at all. You must know that the sales of red and white machines under Chiba Games, a video game manufacturer, have exceeded 100 million units, and the sales of handheld consoles have also reached more than 60 million units. This is just the genuine red and white machine, now Hong Kong and Taiwan. There have been imitations of red and white machines popular on the market, these relatively cheap red and white machines compatible with the machine, into the mainland market after the reform and opening up, although in terms of the mainland's living consumption level, even if it is a cheap knockoff of cheap red and white machines, it still seems a little expensive. But. This does not prevent the mainland people from loving video game machines.
Little Genius, Little Bawang and other well-known copycat video game console brands are booming, even if they just sell pirated cartridges and make pirated cartridges, they have also created a number of wealth myths.
Compared with the backward level of the mainland's electronic industry, how many game cartridges can be sold after making game cartridges. It's just that when you buy the goods, you can sell them, and you don't have to worry about selling them at all.
The situation of China-continent, of course, attracted the attention of Chiba Games. Chiba Games' legal department intends to dispatch. Fight a huge lawsuit on the mainland.
However, after board discussions, the matter was put on hold. Not because of anything else, but because the situation on the mainland is too complicated, and if it is just an imperfect sieve-like law, it will be fine. The key problem is that the state protectionism is too strong, and the foreign monks, in this newly opened up, are dancing wildly. In the market where everything is done, I want to get back something that belongs to me. The difficulty is high, almost to an impossible level.
Lin Yan was helpless about this situation, and in the end, he and Chiba Yuki said, piracy is piracy, our machine quality is better. Coupled with tariffs and other reasons, the price is not comparable to the mainland's little overlord and Taiwan's little genius. Just as the little genius and the little overlord are helping Chiba Games to do free publicity and promotion in Chinese mainland.
You must know that the population of the mainland is now more than one billion people, and it will only be more in the future. If the mainland can succeed in reform and opening up, its economic standard and living standards will improve. One day, their consumption level will reach the level of buying genuine machines. And a big market of one billion people represents nothing to say.
The largest market for Chiba games is nothing more than the Japanese market and the American market, but the combined number of these two countries is more than 400 million people. Less than half the number of Chinese. If the Chinese people reach the level where they can consume video games, such a vast market is very, very remarkable.
Although Lin Yan said this to Chiba Yuki, he was not very sure in his heart whether the red and white machine, or the red and white machine, or other home video game consoles, could enter the Chinese market through normal channels.
After all, video games seem to have an aura of "plaything" from the moment they were born. Even in the United States, there are extreme news such as parents taking their son to a psychiatric hospital to cut out the prefrontal lobe because of his son's addiction to video games.
Chinese mainland is the birthplace of East Asian culture, and the entire East Asian culture, or Confucian culture, pays more attention to learning, and in such an overall atmosphere, it is strange to have a positive evaluation of video games.
Home game consoles can have a relatively wide acceptance in Japan, and it is not because of the foil of their peers, there is no need to mention the tragic incident that happened in the arcade. Compared with pachinko, gambling, indulging in erotic places, or being contaminated with drugs, playing video games on home game consoles is really a simple, affordable and harmless entertainment.
What Lin Yan is working on now is also some theoretical content about the metaphysics of video games. For example, research is about what people love to play video games and what is the root of their love of video games.
Is it because of the instinct in the body, or because of the need for entertainment. Lin Yan wrote a long, long article about this, and after detailed research, Lin Yan came to the conclusion that people like to play video games because of human instinct. Some people like action games, games with a violent factor, which is the hunting instinct of ancient times. Those who like to build simulation games will have more of an ancient, fruit-gathering building instinct.
This theory is a theory prepared by Lin Yan in advance in order to prevent some more extreme things.
In this era, there is never a shortage of guys who want to make a name for themselves. If a juvenile-related case occurs at this time, nine times out of ten the cause of the juvenile delinquency will be detained in the video game.
After all, video games are a new industry these days, and the scope is wide enough. Using the same logic, it can also be said that every human sin in this world has drunk water, so people who have drunk water are prone to sin, so human beings should not drink water in order to prevent sin.
This kind of bandit logic is very vexatious, but when it conforms to what some people think, it has a vast market. (To be continued.) )
