Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 374 Must not be taken lightly

   Strictly speaking, the handheld console that Zhu Yuxing drew at this time should be regarded as an upgraded version of NDS 3ds.

The    handheld has a joystick, eight buttons, and two shoulder buttons.

   The feature of the flip cover allows the upper screen to show high image quality, and the lower screen can be assisted by touch.

  This new handheld form also gives the development of the game a new inspiration.

   The up and down screen is indeed a pretty good idea.

   Take Yusei still remembers that this seems to have been proposed by Yamauchi, the late Nintendo video game creator in the previous life.

   Later, after Yamauchi retired, this idea was finally created by the brainstorming of Nintendo's follow-up bigwigs, and then once again led a new era.

   In terms of current technology, can such a game console be created?

   Take Yusei began to think seriously.

   The technological power of this world is ten years ahead of the previous life.

   Now is 2000, then it is equivalent to 2010 in the future.

   To Zhu Yuxing’s surprise, this time should have been the stage when the mobile phone industry began to develop rapidly from the direction of multimedia entertainment.

   But the world doesn't seem to be developing in any direction, or it's developing too slowly, and it hasn't reached the level of his previous life in 2010.

   In other words, if a new handheld is released now, there is still a lot of profit space.

   Once the smartphone, a multimedia handheld platform, rises completely, the handheld market will melt away like a snowflake.

   This is the law of the market, no matter how powerful Zhu Yuxing is, it is impossible to prevent this general trend from happening.

  Most of the travelers have never thought about changing certain general trends, but instead follow the general trend to achieve themselves.

   But, even if the handheld market gradually slumps, the video game market will continue to develop rapidly, and the two sides are only conflicting at a certain stage.

   But in the end it will be reconciled in a whole new way.

   Video games have embarked on their own brand-new paths, which are pioneered by the new era of handheld consoles such as SWITCH.

   Then when Zhuyouxing passed through, some video game manufacturers with a certain status also began to try to develop handheld games, activating the handheld market again.

   But it’s still too early to say this, and now I can rule the market for a while before the rise of smartphones, and then silently wait for the trend to pass.

   Well, then with the current technology, 3DS is completely feasible.

   But the cost will soar a lot.

  If a machine is actually developed in mass production, the initial cost is estimated to exceed one hundred and fifty dollars.

   If you add a series of costs such as transportation and tax rates, the price of the handheld will soar from just over 10,000 yen in the past to 20,000 yen.

   This is probably a very difficult price for players to accept.

  Because they are used to the price in the past ten thousand.

   After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuxing crossed out the previous performance idea, and then planned the new handheld performance again.

This is where the benefits of    having a foresighted vision of the future come into play.

   Zhu Youxing can plan a more stable development path by himself, and these are the paths that his predecessors have taken, so he can go on with confidence.

   Cross out the previous handheld performance, then in order to reduce costs, we can only build a handheld that is about 30% stronger than the original NDS.

   This seems to be just right, and the cost can be reduced to less than 10,000 yen, so that the handheld side can make less money, and then rely on the game to make money.

only…

   Are you really willing to be like this?

   Zhu Yuxing took another look at the handheld performance list he just crossed out.

   Looking at the list, Zhu Yuxing remembered his past life.

   In the previous life, those game makers were doing their best to grab more benefits, and finally had to compromise for the sake of benefits, and had to make certain trade-offs in terms of performance or other experiences.

   The product that is then presented to the player is a product that has undergone constant compromises.

   And the players are helpless, the handhelds they have always make them full of regrets.

  The low performance of NDS makes NDS players only experience games whose picture quality lags behind an era.

   Of course, the pioneering and gameplay of NDS is nothing to say, otherwise it will not win the competition in that era.

   But if it can really make performance better, players will definitely be happier, and they must be more willing to pay.

  If you were an ordinary consumer now, what would you think?

   I am afraid that I want to get the best experience, the kind of top experience that people will never forget.

   Moreover, the development of this handheld should be the swan song of the handheld industry in a short period of time.

   It should have been the mobile phone that dominated the mobile field for many years, until people got tired of the mobile mobile field and began to pursue other new stimuli, the handheld market will release its light again.

  So, since this may be the last handheld in a short period of time, are you really willing to castrate yourself?

   Not reconciled.

   For a long time, Zhuyouxing has always regarded himself as a player.

   He hopes to become the godfather of the video game industry.

   Money is enough.

   Now his reserves have reached two billion dollars.

  Seriously, a little cost on the handheld is more than he can accept.

   And this can allow players to have a better experience, and I have no regrets.

  Since there is no shortage of money, why not pursue a longer-term pursuit?

   Thinking of this, Zhu Yuxing crossed out the performance of his own modified handheld again.

   Then again planned a new handheld performance.

  To play, play big.

   It doesn't matter if half of the reserve fund is invested, he can afford the money.

   Even if the final market proves that he is a failure, he will not regret it, because he has fulfilled his dream in his previous life.

  The best game lineup, the best console performance.

  This is what I most want to see.

  The regrets of the past life, let yourself do it now.

   On Zhu Yuxing's notebook, a new handheld is gradually taking shape

   That is a handheld with performance comparable to that of the later 3DS.

  The cost is certainly not low, but the way of selling hardware at a loss and then making money from video games in the previous life of Sony is feasible.

   You can do it yourself.

it is good! Ok, deal!

  A brand new handheld was just drawn on Zhu Yuxing's scratch paper.

   Next, is the development of the handheld.

   Of course, the more important thing is the procurement of chips.

   This is the most important thing.

   He has to be a little more careful in this regard.

   This time it will be your own gambling behavior and must not be taken lightly.
