Chapter 377 Empire Games Announces the Price of the First Generation of Handheld Game Consoles

Chapter 377 Empire Games announces the price of the first generation of handheld game consoles, shocking the world!

The press conference of Empire Games is still in progress, and it has been very successful. The reporters in front of them, both men and women, are attracted by the game.

About half an hour.

Xi Jiao Youhong asked the reporters to go back first.

At this moment, for these reporters, what they are most interested in is the price of these game consoles.

Last year, Empire Games launched game consoles twice. Those arcade machines cost $6,500 each. They are very expensive and luxurious game consoles. Not many consumers can afford them.

In a year, the global sales volume is only a few hundred thousand units.

However, now they have just tried the handheld game console, they found that the handheld game console is very small, and the price should be much cheaper. At least, with their income as reporters, they can afford a handheld game console.

"Dear reporter friends, you must be very interested in the price of the handheld game console in front of you!" Xi Jiao Youhong looked at the reporters present and asked.

Yes, at this time, they are really very curious.

Those arcade machines are too expensive. Their income may only buy one a year.

However, this handheld game console is different now.

In terms of hardware, it should be much cheaper than the arcade game console.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Nishikado Tomohiro asked the reporters present to be quiet.

"I will give each of you journalist friends a guess at the price of our first generation of handheld game consoles."

A male reporter picked up the microphone and said, "Mr. Nishikado Tomohiro, I think it will cost $1,000 per unit."

$1,000?

It is indeed much cheaper than the arcade game console that costs $6,500 per unit.

Nishikado Tomohiro still shook his head.

"I think it is $800."

. . .

Nishikado Tomohiro smiled and shook his head.

Finally, Nishikado Tomohiro said, "I am now officially announcing the price of this handheld game console on behalf of Empire Group and Empire Games."

"This is a price that most consumers around the world can afford."

A price that most consumers can afford?

Those reporters seemed surprised.

"Yes, $30 per unit."

$30?

Many reporters present thought they had heard it wrong.

Compared to the arcade machine that costs 6,500 US dollars, how much is the difference?

It is 216 times the difference.

What does this mean?

At this time, 30 US dollars, according to the exchange rate between Japanese yen and US dollars, is 6,000 Japanese yen.

According to the current Hong Kong dollar, at this time, the Hong Kong dollar has depreciated against the US dollar, and there are fluctuations up and down, but it is also around 5.65 Hong Kong dollars, about 1 US dollar, which is about 170 Hong Kong dollars.

This price is indeed affordable for most consumers with ordinary income in Japan, and even in Hong Kong.

However, for China, a game machine that costs 170 Hong Kong dollars is still relatively expensive.

At this time, the reporters were really shocked.

Compared with the original 6,500 US dollars, which is equivalent to 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, the difference is really too far.

"I hope that Empire Games can bring happiness to players around the world and make more consumers around the world able to afford game consoles."

Nishikaku Tomohiro looked at the reporters present and said.

This time, the successful launch of Empire Game's new product not only shocked the reporters present, but also the global game companies and gamers.

When Xi Jiao Youhong announced the end of the press conference, he gave the 50 handheld game consoles as a benefit of this press conference, so that the reporters present could participate in the lottery.

In other words, everyone has one chance to draw.

In the end, among the hundreds of reporters, 50 of them were lucky enough to get a handheld game console given to them by Empire Game Company.

As for those who were unlucky and did not win, they were also very excited.

With their income, they could buy a few consoles a month.

When these reporters hurriedly left the Empire Group meeting room, they immediately went back to rush to finish their manuscripts.

. . .

"Boss, the press conference for the launch of the game console is over."

Xi Jiao Youhong came to report to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming nodded.

Like these, he will not appear in press conferences in the future, and the people below will do it directly. For him, it doesn't matter whether he appears at the press conference of the game product.

"According to my prediction, this handheld game console should be popular all over the world, and the sales will be overwhelming."

Historically, Nintendo's ordinary handheld game console launched in 1980 has sold tens of millions of units.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is possible that the sales volume will exceed 100 million units this time.

Especially in Japan, the United States, and even Europe are very large markets.

In fact, for Yang Ming, this handheld game console is indeed a small profit but quick turnover.

Earning $10 per unit, 100 million units is $1 billion.

But for him, it is of great significance. Not only does he want to monopolize the global games, but he also wants to completely defeat Nintendo, Sony and other game console companies in terms of game hardware, so that they have no chance to rise.

After Nishikado Tomohiro went back to work.

Yang Ming is still in the chairman's office of Empire Group, looking at the tall buildings in the distance.

Akihabara in Japan.

The financial district buildings in London.

Xu Qingsheng and Barlow held press conferences at the company respectively about the release of Empire Games' first-generation handheld game, as well as its new games "Xiangjiang Cube", "Little Bee", "Snake" and so on.

As soon as this press conference came out, it immediately shocked the gaming industry in Japan and even Europe, especially the reporters. They knew that few consumers could afford the arcade machines launched by the Imperial Group last year.

This time, the first-generation handheld console released by the Imperial Group was affordable to many ordinary people.

After all, whether it is 30 US dollars or 6,000 yen per unit, it is affordable for most local consumers.

Reporters and major newspapers and magazines from all over the world rushed to report it.

Among them, players from Xiangjiang, Japan, Europe and the United States are all excited.

Whether it's the handheld versions of "Hong Kong Cube" or "Space Invaders" or "Little Bee", "Snake" and "Pac-Man", those players love them so much.

In the past, they really couldn't afford a game console that cost 6,500 US dollars.

Nowadays, they can buy several handheld game consoles for 30 US dollars each, which means they can buy all the games they like.

Moreover, compared to playing in an arcade, this handheld game console is so convenient. It can be said that you can play it anytime and anywhere, and you can even put it in your pocket.

This is even more shocking to the gaming industry around the world.

They used to follow the trend and enter the arcade market on a large scale to develop and drink soup. Now the sudden release of the first-generation handheld console by Empire Games makes them somewhat unable to react.

The most critical thing is that the listing price is too low. In this case, if other companies follow suit, they will be defeated by Empire Games without any advantage at all.
