Therefore, the media that came today are still very obedient.

"One of our employees seems to have revealed that we are going to take extremely preferential measures for players who have been supporting us, and I can now say that this is accurate, and this preferential measure was in the works before our public announcement."

As soon as the opening scene was opened, Mark. Saini spoke of the most important topic for those present.

Then there are people who can't wait to ask about the specific measures of Mars Entertainment, of course, the main reason they ask, the main reason why Mars Entertainment's discount this time is how much it has shrunk compared to Sega's direct price reduction of fifty dollars.

It is true that no preferential measure is as beneficial as a direct price reduction, which is indeed irrefutable, and a price reduction of fifty dollars is fifty dollars, and everyone can see it.

Faced with this problem, Mark. Seni smiled slightly, and then said.

"We take the way of trade-in to give back to our users, all players who have purchased our Dreambox console before, whether new or old, as long as it can still be used normally, then you can get our discount ticket, the denomination of the discount ticket is close to the $15 to $60 range, that is, even if you buy a Dreambox console four years ago, as long as it is still functioning normally, then you can get at least a $15 discount ticket, If you're a recent Dreambox host, you may receive a $60 discount ticket that will be valid when you purchase our new console and the games we ship on it. ”

Mark. As soon as Saini's words were finished, there was a buzz in the small group of reporters on the scene, apparently discussing the matter. Trade-in, they've never heard of before.

"So, Mark. Mr. Saini. What about players who haven't purchased a Dreambox console before? Don't they have any incentives? You know, Sega's price cut by fifty dollars. But the ...... for all potential buyers"

Soon, some of the reporters present noticed that Mark. The loophole in Saini's remarks is that this preferential measure, let's not talk about what the effect of this seemingly good preferential measure will actually be implemented, but this preferential treatment is a bit petty compared to Sega's indifference.

So. This reporter asked.

This question before Mark. Saini must have done his homework, because with the announcement of this measure, the lack of preferential measures for new users will indeed be criticized, especially those potential buyers.

So, Mark. As soon as Saini finished asking this reporter's question, his face immediately turned to the side, and he became stern: "With all due respect, this journalist sir, we Mars Entertainment are a company in the field of video games. Especially a company that has been immersed in the home gaming space for several years, we have been trying to give our players the best gaming experience. Whether it's our games or our consoles, we have always been leading the industry benchmark, and no one can deny that. ”

These Marks. Saini is not wrong, but now it is not a question of which company has more influence in the gaming field, but a question of preferential measures for new consoles, so this statement cannot convince these reporters.

Mark. Naturally, Saini won't say so much. Just a beginning.

"To tell you the truth, Sega's so-called $50 drop has caused us a lot of trouble. Know because of our boss. Jester. Li has a good cooperative relationship with Hon Hai Precision, so our production cost has always been the lowest among all game companies, which we do not deny, but the price of raw materials is very clear, even if we produce at a low price, but it will not be much lower, plus our logistics points and logistics warehouses throughout North America, which are completely incomparable to these other companies, so we came to the conclusion after discussion that it is impossible to make a profit according to Sega's selling price. ”

Mark. Seni's tone was very disdainful, and he even continued in a contemptuous tone.

"Their way of maliciously setting prices is despicable, in order to seize the market to do everything, about this, but, I don't know if they have ever thought about it, they sell hardware at a loss, the more they sell, the more they lose, I don't know, since Sega is confident that it will make some achievements in the field of home games like they did in the arcade field, why not use the money for the development of games? Instead of relying on the game to attract players, it just relies on this crooked way to make people laugh. ”

This slightly charged, attacking remark instantly made the reporters present climax, because this is indeed the only magic weapon to increase sales or ratings, and it is certain that after they will mark . After Saini's words are reported, according to the personalities of Sega and Hisao Koguchi, they will definitely start to fight back.

As for whether this kind of counterattack is a verbal cannon or an actual action, in short, as long as they have reports, it will be enough.

"If I were the head of this at Sega, I would never have made such a stupid decision, just imagine, what do players buy a home console for? Can you answer that question? ”

Mark. Although Saini's words were so, he didn't really mean to let the reporters present answer, and after he finished saying this question, he only paused for three or five seconds, and immediately continued to talk on his own.

"Of course it's playing games,There's no doubt about it,Game consoles are different from TVs,It's not just that you just need to turn on the switch when you buy it,Stretch out the antenna,You can receive the program,So any price reduction of TV is worth it,It's all affordable-but,When you buy a game console,Do you just need to turn it on to be able to play games?"

Saying, Mark. Saini himself shook his head, his expression disgusted.

"We definitely don't sell game consoles as decorations, to be honest, the people who use games as decorations are also SB, because relatively speaking, he is not a very beautiful electronic product, although our industrial design department has made a lot of beautification changes to this, but it is still far from reaching the process of craftsmanship...... Game consoles are bought to play games, players will not buy your console because it is cheap, they will only take the purchase of your console because there are games on your console that cannot be played by other consoles, and that's it. ”

"To put it mildly, even if a game console costs only a hundred dollars, but it is not a game worth playing, will you or those players still buy it?"

"If you say yes, then I have nothing to say, because our minds are not on a level at all."

Mark. After Saini finished speaking, the reporters present were silent again.

Because these words were so powerful, they didn't expect that Mark. Without warning, Saini suddenly began to ridicule Sega's core policies, and even said something extremely demeaning about Sega's games.

"Mark. Mr. Saini, can I take that you are saying that Sega's game development capabilities are so weak, so weak that there are almost no games worth playing? ”

The reporters were very excited and couldn't wait to ask such a question immediately.

"Huh."

Mark. Of course, Saini understood the meaning of the reporter's words, but how could he be stupid enough to admit this, he just smiled, and then said: "I didn't mean that, I just said an example, for example, you can't just look at the price of a game console is worth buying, but from the game." ”

"So do I think that apart from this trade-in, Mars Entertainment has no price reduction plan for Dreambox2?"

The reporter immediately targeted Mark. Saini's answer was followed up as soon as possible.

For this answer Mark. Saini seemed to be a little unexpected, he pondered a little before saying: "Logically speaking, I have no comment on the standard answer that this answer should be restored, and this is also the standard answer when our countermeasures department is discussing how to answer the questions of you people, but I think that as the number two person in Mars Entertainment, I should not answer this way, if I don't know, then you can only ask Jester. What about Lee? ”

Speaking of which, Mark. Saini's slightly humorous remarks immediately caused the reporters to burst into laughter.

Mark. Saini laughed too, but only lightly, and after laughing, he continued: "So I can answer you this question, at least for now, the trade-in is the only discount we have for the Dreambox 2 console release, and as for the future, will there be a discount for all users who like our games?" We're still discussing this, but from what I've learned so far, there is, but the timing is uncertain. ”

Mark. Saini's press conference was not too long, from start to finish was only 30 minutes.

But those who left were elated, because they had gotten enough from the meeting, what they wanted. (To be continued)
