Chapter 179: A Few Cents and Spiritual Pillars
Whether the machine is good or not, the lineup is the first, but there is another hidden condition, that is, the comfort of the user! To put it simply, it is whether this handheld is "humanized!" ”
The third game in the gB series, gameBoyadvance, or gBa for short, used ergonomic doctors to design the shape, overturning several designs before finalizing its shape. And now, it happens to be used by Qin Yuanfeng as one of the biggest differences between his handheld and gB!
gB, is vertical. And his handheld is going to be horizontal! It's not the same as gB.
The most important point is the second point.
It is also a point that Nintendo gB1 is complained about by players!
Backlight!
The original gB sales did not have this function, that is, at night, gB could not play without turning on the lights. However, Nintendo soon realized this, and the backlit version of the gB after three months of sales sold even higher than the original gB!
It's so easy to fix, even a few cents, but it's a game-changer!
How much does a tiny built-in bulb cost? Or is it battery-powered?
Two cents? Three cents?
But it is such a small gap that makes a handheld that "allows people to play at will during the day" become a handheld that "can be played all day long in the bed". How big of a difference is there? It's definitely a huge shock for players who are getting lazier!
As long as this concept is pushed away, the sales of gB will definitely be greatly impacted!
Now, only he knows about this mistake made when gB was sold!
Finally, there is the battery itself.
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yuanfeng was so sensitive to the word battery just now.
Now, the built-in battery has not yet appeared, and the battery is where Nintendo gave up and he can fight for!
In this era, in fact, the global demand for batteries is extremely huge, but the two most powerful are from the United States.
Duracell and Energizer. In Japan, it is Panasonic and Yuasa. The former is more famous, and the latter is more professional.
His eyes gradually brightened, the strong are always strong, and in this process of constant strength, there is never a lack of loopholes, but it is just whether there is anyone to show him.
It's like this penny light bulb.
At least he, the people of later generations, know what a high price Nintendo paid in the Second Age because of its arrogance and arrogance!
And now, when Nintendo is in full swing, they will never bother to be a small battery sales channel, even if others want to join, he can't look down on it, and there is also Panasonic, an unreliable ally. They don't need to ask about the battery, naturally Panasonic batteries will play gB ideas.
Attitude is always the easiest place for Nintendo to break! Sega starts here, he starts here on CES, and Sony in the Second Age still starts here!
Nintendo's arrogance has never changed!
Yuasa battery ...... He took a notebook and wrote these two words deeply on it.
This...... I'm afraid that it is the first channel that he can open up on his own in Japan and the most promising to talk about belongs to the Qin Dynasty! Even...... It can spread to all battery manufacturers all over the world!
Yuasa may have been quietly researching gB for a long time, and once he joins forces with gB, it will be a huge victory in the battery market, and maybe it will be an opportunity to overturn Panasonic, but just like Nintendo's attitude towards computer centers. Yamauchi Pu has such a family business, maybe he can look at Yuasa battery? Even if the other party used to make flowers, the business was on par with Yuasa, not to mention that once the gB was sold, Panasonic would perceive the huge battery business opportunities!
In other words, Yuasa is almost impossible. Nintendo, however, will only treat companies of equal status as "partners," while Yamauchi's famous quote is "either partners, enemies, or dead people." Nintendo's faction never needed a wall-riding faction. ”
This is what Capcom said when he invited Nintendo to participate in the Tokyo Game Show, and Vice President Heiji Oshima was scolded by Yamauchi Pu from the office.
In fact, as the king of video games that defeated Sony and Microsoft, the arrogant Nintendo has never participated in the Tokyo Game Show, not once. Even the organizing committee complained that "the Tokyo Game Show without Nintendo really doesn't deserve the title of the world's No. 1 video game show," and Nintendo will never get involved with a group of "rabble" in his opinion.
The Qin Dynasty needed channels, and there was another way, which was to hire thousands of people from all over Japan to run major shopping malls, go down to small stores, negotiate with the shopkeepers, and then wait for the shopkeepers to report to the upper club, then negotiate with the club, and finally report to the top-level company to wait for a reply.
He's not crazy yet.
This is also the reason why he has to borrow other people's existing channels, channel merchants are a kind of businessmen who are difficult to say, after their goods are popular all over the country, they will rush to come up and spread out channels, such as Nintendo, they don't worry about any channels at all. Because whether it is a video game store, a toy store, or a bookstore, the door will be open to them. However, if it is a new product, the channel provider will pick the bone in the egg, and in this case, it is necessary to find another company to accommodate.
If he can negotiate with Yuasa, as the current leader of Japan's battery and Panasonic, the other party can say: I need to sell something in these areas, if you don't give it, I'm sorry, I won't pick you up.
Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard will always be the inferior root of the mall, Nintendo can bully the Yuasa battery, and the Yuasa battery can also bully a smaller level of the mall.
Taking a deep breath, he put down his pen, and then he realized that the book was already written freely.
From the comfort of his own handheld computer to the concept of making zuò, he wrote everything he could think of.
Starting from the battery, but not ending with the battery, it can be said that his last blow next year is on this issue of "power consumption"!
Because of the battery, it involves electricity, because of electricity, it involves the light bulb, because of the light bulb, and it winds back to the battery, and finally, the name of Yuasa's battery appears in his field of vision! Subsequently...... The battery will be used as a weapon for him to kidnap channel dealers and promote it to the world!
The problem of the channel falls on this thing! Start with a few pennies bulbs!
Ring by ring deployment, he looked at the notebook and laughed, because in his mind, he suddenly remembered what Zhong Han had just said.
"Replace, ah......" He spun around in the swivel chair, put his hand on his stomach, and looked at the ceiling without figuratively: "Zhong Han, do you know that this sentence is easy to say and easy to do...... How hard it is ......"
"Even a time-traveler like me doesn't even want to mention this word now......"
As a traverser, he knows very well that the heartbeat of memories may not be a big deal in the eyes of players in the future, but its appearance at that time set off an unspeakable trend.
No one could have predicted that a zuò group with a budget of just over $100,000 would be able to make such a thing, and before it came along, the definition of Bishoujo was "adult-oriented," and nothing else. It was only after it came out that the gaL genre was really established.
However, this glory is short-lived, compared to Mario's decades of popularity, it can only be regarded as a flash in the pan, but what Qin Yuanfeng wants now is this moment!
He needs a short, fast way to fame and the road to accumulating funds, and the huge number of 540,000 sets sold on a single platform and 4.5 million sets on the whole platform is enough to give him a boost!
Gradually accumulating money, he has the capital to make a masterpiece that challenges the miracle of the industry!
This miracle is the spiritual pillar of Nintendo, and it is the cornerstone of their ability to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor of video games!
Its name is called Level Mario.
The global sales of 40 million sets, compared with the popularity of the global red and white machine Fc 60 million, has become an impossible miracle!
And that's not even counting piracy in the Chinese market, which was home to more than a billion people at the time.
Perhaps, it should be called a miracle.
Even the Mario 3, which was released in October this year, sold nearly 4 million copies in Japan just after the FamI pass!
He chose to sell heartbeat memories on Christmas, not only because he was confident that he would gain fame and profit at Christmas, but more importantly, because he avoided Nintendo's sudden sale of Mario 3 in October.
Throughout the Fc game, millions of sets of masterpieces are rare, and Contra is also a late Fc period that only rushed to a million sets, and everyone is familiar with the adventure island, Bingfeng, Saroman snake, etc., all of which range from 400,000 to 600,000 sets. can sell 500,000 sets, which is enough to make a net profit of millions of dollars, not including derivatives on other platforms, and the final profit may be close to about six or seven million.
"40 million sets......" Qin Yuanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, if he remembered correctly, the final global sales volume of MD was 30.75 million sets, that is to say, on MD, there is absolutely no possibility of skipping Mario.
In fact, there were only two games for this kind of mythical sales in the long decades to come.
One is the famous gTa, Grand Theft Auto 5, which has sold more than 40 million units, and the other is Nintendo's miracle again, defeating Sony's ps, Microsoft's xBox's top console II.
IIspoRTs, Chinese name II Sport, sold 80 million sets worldwide!
A miracle of miracles! Zeus on Mount Olympus! No one in the world can stop you!
Even the world's highest number of online users in World of Warcraft, the "first online game" in the future, is only more than 13 million!
If the handheld is the back garden of Nintendo's rise, then Mario is the spiritual pillar of Nintendo!
Qin Yuanfeng took a deep breath, and this breath was filled with a strong battle intent.
"Now, I may not be level Mario......" he muttered as his eyes flickered, "but when the Second Age comes, or on my console, there will definitely be a game of Mario that is out of level!" ”
"Definitely!"
Once you draw your salary, do a real game with Nintendo on the handheld, completely shake its foundation, and defeat the unshakable miracle of 40 million copies of Mario, then Nintendo's spiritual belief will fall apart!
At that time, no matter how strong Pu Yamauchi is, he can't stop Nintendo's collapse from within!
"That's right......" he gritted his teeth and laughed, "and you must also prevent the giant of Pokemon from going sideways...... 37 million units sold, tens of billions of dollars in copyright sales...... Savior level...... This is a big money-absorber whose profit is in no way inferior to that of Mario......"
He clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before suppressing the fiery battle intent in his heart.
Defeat the Mario Bros.
This seed has been planted deep in his heart, and in the near future, he must do his best to make a classic game and lay the foundation for the handover ceremony of the godfather of video games in one fell swoop!
In the countless historical changes of electronic entertainment in the future, there must be this opportunity!
"I don't want to do that." He smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's still too early, md, or sFc in '91, it's impossible to break through the miracle of level Mario, maybe, it's my handheld that possibility...... It is imperative to remember the heartbeat first, as well as ...... That game, the pinnacle of the genre. ”
"When I defeat Tier Mario...... That's when I really replace Nintendo! Just let me ...... Step by step towards this goal! ”
