At 9 o'clock in the morning on November 12, Lujiazui welcomed media reporters, dealers and gamers from all over the world.

"I don't know what products Wujiang Group will release today? I'm looking forward to it! ”

"Yes, every time Wujiang Group holds a press conference, it is extraordinary. The "Borderless Electronic Pet" released at the last press conference was really amazing. Nowadays, this product has swept the world, many students almost have one, even adults can't put down the "Borderless Electronic Pet", especially those women, a buy is dozens of copies, it's incredible! ”

“……”

Just as everyone was talking, Zhao Ye walked to the stage unhurriedly at this time.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the product launch held by Wujiang Group."

"I won't introduce myself, I think everyone knows me."

"Don't talk nonsense, so as not to waste your precious time. Today, the product that Borderless Group wants to release is an arcade! However, Borders Arcade is a little different from other arcade machines, mainly in two ways. ”

"First, the performance of the Borderless Arcade is superior, the sound quality is more outstanding, and the game graphics are more gorgeous;"

"Second, the Borderless Arcade has a multi-card slot function, simply put, that is, multiple game cartridges can be inserted into the Borderless Arcade, and players can change the game by pressing the button."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience were surprised.

Some dealers' eyes lit up, and they felt that the multi-card slot arcade machine seemed to be creative!

Zhao Ye introduced with a smile: "There should be a lot of arcade dealers in the industry, and the price of the multi-card slot of the Wujiang arcade is not much different from the price of other brands of arcades, presumably smart people know how to choose!" ”

"I'll give you an example, if someone wants to open a video game room, if he buys an arcade machine, then he can choose a smaller one, and through the advantage of multiple card slots, he can ensure that the store has the most complete and popular games, and the utilization rate of the arcade machine is the highest."

"And if you want to buy other brands of arcade machines, then, if you want to ensure that the games in the store are complete, you must have a large storefront, and second, you need to buy a large number of arcade machines, which is extremely costly. However, the average utilization rate per arcade machine is also very low. Assuming that the average earning time of the Boundless card slot arcade is 12 hours, then the average earning time of other brands of arcades is probably less than 8 hours. ”

"The price of a traditional arcade machine is about $4,000 a piece. The Wujiang multi-slot arcade machine is priced according to the number of card slots, with two card slots for $4,000 each, three card slots for $4,500, and four card slots for $5,000. ”

"Our Borderless Arcade cartridges are priced at $400 each, which means that if you buy a traditional single-slot arcade machine, you can buy ten cartridges for arcade games!"

Arcade game cartridges are different from home game cartridges in that they use more and better chips, and the game graphics are stronger and more colorful. The cost is high, and the natural selling price is also high. However, the profits are also high.

"This time, Wujiang Group will transplant hundreds of classic games on the "Qiqi Game Machine" platform to Wujiang Arcade, with a large number of games and a wide variety of games, and there are always games that players like."

"In addition, in the first WCG World Esports Championship, in addition to Tetris being contested on the Gameboy platform, other shortlisted competitions, including Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Tekken, etc., will be ...... on the Borderless Arcade platform."

As soon as the words fell, the dealers in the audience changed color.

The Wujiang multi-card slot arcade is already outrageously strong, and now the first WCG competition platform is designated as the Wujiang arcade, so the Wujiang arcade must not explode?

Arcade room owners around the globe are sure to go on a buying spree for Borderless arcades.

……

After the press conference of the Borderless Group, it caused a huge sensation in the arcade market.

Resellers from all over the world are rushing to order Borderless multi-slot arcades and exclusive game cartridges.

When players heard that WCG's fighting matches were going to take place in the arcade, many people were not happy.

"Brothers, we bought the "Qiqi Game Console" and the Gameboy, and practiced on these two platforms for a long time, and the Wujiang Group now says that it will not compete on these two platforms, so won't we practice in vain?"

"Yes, let's go to the Wujiang Group now!"

“……”

In the evening of the next day, a group of players came to the door of Wujiang Company and asked Wujiang Group to give an explanation.

When Wang Jizhi heard the news, he hurriedly went to appease everyone.

He walked up to the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, the reason why the Borderless Group chose the Borderless Arcade as the competition platform is because it is better to play games on it. Besides, everyone is on the same starting line, what are you afraid of? There's still a month or so to go, enough time for you to get used to the Borderless Arcade. You might as well try it out in the arcade room now to find out if I'm lying, and it's definitely going to give you an extraordinary feeling! ”

When the crowd heard this, they gradually dispersed, and then rushed to the arcade room.

No one can escape the "law of true fragrance"!

Just now, he was clamoring to find the Wujiang Group to explain, but now he has become a fan of the Wujiang Arcade one by one.

"The screen of the Borderless Arcade is so big, the picture is clear, and the colors are beautiful, which is really shocking! Sitting in front of you and playing a game is simply an audio-visual treat! ”

"It's so cool to operate with a joystick, it's really exciting, and it's much more convenient than a gamepad."

“……”

Everyone praised it and indulged in it.

……

Boundless is the existence of hegemony in the game industry, and the arcade launched is naturally easily sought after by the market.

Arcade rooms around the world have taken the initiative to purchase.

After 10 days, the Borderless Group had sold 400,000 arcade machines and 2.11 million exclusive arcade game cartridges.

Revenue up to $1.8 billion (arcade) + $844 million (game cartridge) = $2.644 billion.

The profit belonging to the Wujiang Group is 50%, after all, the production cost is very low, and the Wujiang arcade has been completely localized.

Other arcade brand companies will never have such a high profit, at most 30%.

……

In the eighties and nineties, Internet cafes had not yet appeared, so the business in the arcade room was very hot!

The competition between arcades is naturally quite fierce.

The Borderless Arcade went public, and the arcade giant Sega was the most affected.

Of course, the Sega Arcade can also change the game cartridge, but the arcade machine needs to be disassembled.

Players themselves are not allowed to change games.

So, players voted with their feet and mostly went to play Borderless arcade games.

Especially in Japan and the United States, if you walk into the local arcade room, you can see that there are basically people sitting in front of the Borderless arcade, playing games.

The advent of Boundless Arcade has almost rewritten the pattern of the global arcade market.

Sweeping the global arcade market, making the industry tremble.

A number of arcade game development companies in Japan have decided to cut their hardware departments and concentrate on making games. For example, companies such as Capcom, Konami, and SNK......

Within a few days, Capcom, Konami, SNK and other companies have announced their cooperation with the Borderless Group to release their games on the Borderless arcade platform.

These companies are all well-known game companies in Japan, and they also release games on the "Poor Strange Game Console" and Gameboy platforms, and they are well aware of the horror of the Borderless Group.

Instead of confrontation, it is better to cooperate.

With the help of the Borderless Arcade platform, they can likewise publish arcade games.

Cut the hardware development department, reduce all kinds of expenses, travel lightly, and make more profits!

Nintendo is reluctant to cooperate because it is a mortal enemy of the Borderless Group.

Sega makes both arcade machines and home consoles, and has always been in the position of the third in the Japanese game market, but people only see the boss and the second PK, and no one cares who the third is.

Sega was embarrassed, but ambitious.

It was originally in the arcade field and was a giant. But the Wujiang Group is coming, and a large number of game companies around the world have cooperated with the Wujiang Group. Sega was going to cry.

This arcade supremacy, why don't you say it's gone......
