  Chapter 385 The basic situation of the handheld is finalized

   First, touch can be preserved to a certain extent.

  Some games have a completely different experience after touch.

   And touch games are also one of the big trends in the future.

   There will be a lot of high-quality glass-rubbing games in the next few years, such as Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and so on.

  These games are small and delicate, which is also a beginning of making the game more popular. Sooner or later, you will have to do it.

   And just now, this era has gradually entered the era of capacitive screen technology.

   In terms of touch technology, there are roughly two technologies: resistive screen and capacitive screen.

Smartphones of later generations basically only have capacitive touch screens, because this screen has many advantages that resistive screens cannot match. However, the price of this technology is not low at present. Forcing this technology will lead to some increase in cost. But it is also just enough to use the cost of canceling a secondary screen for this.

   Others have no objection to this, not to mention Zhu Yuxing, even Tsukune Aya has some good touch game ideas, but her idea is just a simple click and touch game, and there is no deeper game idea.

Zhuyouxing provided them with an inspiration, that is, a brain game that entertains and educates. This thing also set a sales myth of over 10 million in the previous life. It is difficult to imagine that the production of brain games is really not counted. How can something so difficult have millions of sales.

   This is actually a bonus for a wider range of users outside of a wave of gamers.

   Compared with the current number of game console users, there are 100 million or 200 million game console users, and among them, there are only 100 million or 20 million senior players. The whole world now has a population of more than 7 billion people.

Whether or not brain games are really useful will not be mentioned for the time being, but it is the general consensus of the world's population to improve their memory ability and their own intelligence. Perhaps Nintendo has seized this pain point and made more non-player people become Nintendo users.

The    brain game also made a few people in the conference room feel very good, so the touch function was retained.

   Next is the screen.

  The screen size is a very important thing.

  The current GBA size is 2.9 inches. Now players are used to such a size screen and don’t think it’s inappropriate.

   But the big screen is bound to be the future trend.

   It’s just that the larger the screen, the higher the cost, which is also something to consider.

   Take Yusei is temporarily going to set the size at 4.3 inches of the PSP.

   A 4.3-inch screen with a capacitive touch screen, now this size is just right for players, and the new handheld will give them the feeling of truly entering a new era.

   Everyone roughly imagined, and suddenly felt that the feeling of a screen of this size in front of them must be quite shocking, and there was a trace of expectation in their hearts.

   Several game development team leaders who participated in the meeting have even begun to plan whether to start preparing the development plan for the new handheld game now.

  As long as the engineering development department gives an engineering prototype, they dare to start developing games directly.

   Zhu Youxing's performance was relatively calm. After all, he had already experienced better handheld game consoles, and had experienced games with cooler and better graphics, but now he is just re-engraving the memory in his brain.

   This is a very stable performance in the eyes of everyone, and is not shocked by honor or shame.

At this time, a person in charge of the engineering development department raised his hand: "President, I suddenly remembered something, if you want to develop such a game console, the power consumption is probably terrible... We may not be able to do it anymore. By the time the console lasts for an average of ten hours on just two AA batteries."

  Zhu Yuxing nodded and said, "I know this, but this is also impossible, and it is also an inevitable choice for compromise for the next era."

  Unfortunately, there is no breakthrough in battery technology in this world, and there is nothing this Zhu Yuxing can do.

   He is not someone who specializes in batteries, let alone the technical details.

   "President, if we continue to use AA batteries as the power source of the handheld, I feel that the capacity of the batteries should be increased to at least four or more, otherwise, with only two batteries, I'm afraid it won't last for two hours."

There is a kind of energy density for batteries. AA batteries, that is, AA batteries, are standard energy products and have a wide range of applications, but the energy density is incomparable with the new professionally manufactured lithium battery technology. This is the AA battery. hard injury.

  If this new handheld will continue to use the AA battery, the thickness must be very touching, so Zhu Yuxing has already decided that the new handheld will no longer use the AA battery.

Zhu Yuxing shook his head: "We can no longer use AA batteries. This time we also use the latest battery technology to develop a battery for the new handheld. Of course, I imagine that this new battery can also be disassembled and replaced. Battery accessories The kits and battery charging kits can also be sold additionally, which can be regarded as extra revenue, and make up for the cost of the game console."

  Using the latest battery technology, if the battery capacity is sufficient, it is not a big problem for players to play for about five hours on average.

In fact, he has always had a soft spot for removable batteries. The design of non-removable batteries in later generations has indeed made electronic devices more concise and beautiful, and can also enhance some effects such as waterproofing, but the sacrifice is also very much. Regrettably.

   It is not difficult to introduce new battery technology. At most, it can only be regarded as the small head in the cost. The real big head is the processor and the motherboard plus the screen.

   These are basically finalized now, so in the end there is only one thing left, to determine the manufacturer of the processor.

   The two selected manufacturers have their own advantages, but it is possible to discuss the two selected manufacturers in detail and hold another internal bidding meeting to see the sincerity of the other party.

   As for this time, it can be directly handed over to the people in the engineering development department to choose. They are the first line of development, and they know best what is most suitable for them to develop. Zhu Yuxing only needs to give the general direction.

Oh, by the way, there is also the naming of the new game console. This Zhuyouxing does not plan to decide on his own, but also allows the employees to use their imaginations and give a good enough game console as much as possible. Name, if the handheld name proposed by the person is finally selected, then the employee can also get a special reward, which is a kind of incentive method, and it also makes the employees feel more involved and can better integrate into the company. .
