Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 383 I don't think so

   The specific content of this tender is to put forward requirements, and then several manufacturers will come to find a way to see if they can meet them.

   These requirements were first proposed by Zhu Yuxing, and then the engineering team discussed the feasibility, and then negotiated with these manufacturers.

   Zhu Yuxing mainly requires a few points.

  The computing power can reach the game screen of the previous life at least comparable to the PSP era.

   also requires a strong processor compatibility.

   This is to allow a series of games such as the previous GBA to enter the new handheld in parallel through the emulator.

   You can even run SFC and FC era games on your new handheld if you can.

   These old games don't have to really make money for Zhuyou Xing, but they can't be without.

   There is also easy development, which is a preparation for game developers.

  If the development of a game console is very difficult, many game developers will be discouraged from developing games on this game console.

   and directly announce the purpose of the processor at the tender meeting.

   is for the manufacture of handhelds, but this news must be kept strictly confidential by several manufacturers, otherwise they will face high lawsuit compensation.

   These were all said before the tender started.

   For these world-renowned processor manufacturers, it is not difficult to manufacture.

   The weakest company can make this kind of processor.

   There will be some differences in price only.

   After some discussion, the six companies finally marked the function, performance, and price of their processors, and then the bidding meeting was temporarily ended.

  The winning bidder will be announced within half a month.

   Liujia patiently waited for the reply from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Inside the headquarters of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Take Yuxing and several heads of the engineering development department, including Hayasawa Airi, looked at the quotations of these six companies.

   "The first manufacturer gave a price of $110 per custom chip, and guaranteed to provide 20 million annual production capacity to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the price of the chips produced each year could also be reduced by $10."

"The second manufacturer gave a price of $130 per custom chip, but they said if they ordered 40 million a year, they would lower the price by another $30, and then reduce the price year by year. Ten dollars."

"The third manufacturer is priced at $120 per chip. They don't give any additional discounts, but the chips they make have always been stable and have not had any serious quality problems. The price may be negotiable. talk."

"The fourth manufacturer is priced at $90 per chip, which is quite cheap. This manufacturer used to specialize in manufacturing industrial chips. I am afraid they intend to expand the market through this transaction, so they are willing to use a lower price to Fighting for this order is also tantamount to paying a tuition fee for them to enter a new market.”

"The sincerity of the fifth manufacturer is not very good. The chip price has reached 170 US dollars. I don't think it is necessary to consider this. Like the fourth manufacturer, they used to manufacture industrial chips. insufficient."

   "The sixth manufacturer's chip price is 130 US dollars, and the price is willing to reduce by more than 20 US dollars per year, which means that the chip price will only cost 30 US dollars after five years, which is also quite good."

In the    conference room, a person in charge of engineering development explained to the crowd the different quotations and commitments of the six manufacturers.

  The six manufacturers have their own strengths, and except for the fifth and third, the other four are actually quite good.

   This is cheaper than Take Yusei expected at first.

The    processor is the heart of a game console.

   If all costs are included, the cost of the game console can be controlled to less than two hundred dollars, which is in the range of 20,000 yen.

   In this case, selling a handheld for two hundred dollars is equivalent to no loss or profit.

   But the handheld console of 20,000 yen is obviously not easy for current players to accept.

   The price of the last handheld was only over 12,000 yen, and the price of the new handheld has risen to 20,000 in one go, which puts a lot of pressure on players.

   So it is inevitable to lose some hosting.

   But as long as the game can sell well, you will earn it.

  In the end, after everyone's discussion, two manufacturers were locked.

   The third and sixth.

   One of these two is the excellent quality of the product, and the other is the future price is very favorable.

  If a game console is produced after the fifth year, the production cost is probably only seventy or eighty dollars.

   It’s not bad to wait until about the third year or so that the game console can start making money again.

  The quality of the third manufacturer is very good, and it is not completely irrelevant. You can use the annual increase in production capacity to attract the other party to lower the price again.

   However, we can wait another half a month for the manufacturer to be completely determined. During this time, everyone in the company's engineering development can have a good discussion about the choice of these manufacturers.

   As for the meeting, it went to the next link, which was the discussion on the function and appearance of the handheld.

  Before, Zhu Yuxing has decided to set the appearance of the game console as a flip, and also has the attribute of dual-screen.

   At that time, he had already shown the general appearance drawings to everyone.

   But that's not the final draft, it's just an initial idea.

   Take Yusei also hopes to listen to other people's opinions before making a decision.

   Most of them have no opinion on Zhu Yuxing's idea of ​​this game console.

   Because they have long been accustomed to the development direction that is unfavorable.

   They don't even need to be involved in the design of the game console too much, they just need to develop the game console according to the functional requirements given by Take Yusei.

   Anyway, in terms of Downstream Star Electronic Entertainment, any game console developed is easy to sell.

   "Zhuyou, to be honest, I have always felt that such a handheld is not particularly good."

   Just when the results of the discussion were almost the same, a voice suddenly sounded.

   Zhu Yuxing raised his head and looked at the door, where a person was sitting alone.

   She has always been used to being alone, but she has also changed a lot.

   At least she no longer has contact phobia, and she no longer reacts violently to contact with others.

   Tsukino Aya's silver double ponytail is still so eye-catching at all times.

   "Not particularly good, what exactly do you mean?"

"Dual screen, I can't imagine how to make a game using this dual screen property. Of course, you can have a lot of great ideas to create amazing games, but other developers may not be so So many ideas."

   This is quite reasonable.

   The NDS in the previous life was stronger than its own game lineup. Except for its own games, third-party games were actually not very powerful, at least not comparable to the third-party games of the PSP handheld console of the same period.
