Chapter 457 Is the CD the Star of the Future?

Chapter 457 Is the optical disc the future star...?

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's handheld game consoles have been sold at a loss so far, with an average loss of more than $20 per unit.

So if you want to make a profit in the early stage, you must sell enough electronic games.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment expects that the annual sales of GSL handheld game consoles should be close to 20 million units, and even 30 million units is not impossible.

If it is 30 million units, it will be a loss of more than 600 million in machine costs.

If you want to make a profit, you must at least make a profit of 600 million or even higher on electronic games.

The average profit of a first-party game with sales of millions is about 20 to 30 million US dollars.

According to the current regular sales data of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's first-party, if it is a work supervised by Takeyusei himself, it may directly go to the sales of tens of millions.

And if it is just a first-party game, it is about 1 million to 3 million sales at most.

Under normal circumstances, the revenue from game cartridges this year can definitely make up for some cost losses on game consoles.

But all this is based on the premise that the game can be sold normally and the supply of cartridges is stable.

However, now, there is a problem with the production of cartridges, and this problem may directly affect the production capacity of cartridges for three months.

Now is the high-frequency stage of the two companies' confrontation, and any slight mistake by either party may affect the future situation.

"I am very sorry, customer, the supply of cartridges is tight recently, and you need to wait for some time for the Zelda: Ocarina of Time cartridge you need."

"Wait a little longer, I have been waiting for half a month."

When the time came to May, the shortage of cartridges began to gradually appear.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has tried to invest more cartridges in popular works such as The Legend of Zelda, which is somewhat unfair to other works, but there is no way. Giving priority to games with more player audiences is a choice that must be made now.

But even so, the inventory of cartridges is gradually stretched.

This is not just to provide to Japan, but also to provide game cartridges to the world.

In response to the dissatisfaction of players, the game store promised to send them to these users for free as soon as they get the cartridges, and to give them a free digital game. In the future, they only need to go to the online mall to redeem them.

This can slightly alleviate the dissatisfaction of players, but their demand for entertainment will not be weakened at all, just as Nagao Yu said. On the contrary, they will be more eager to get the entertainment brought by electronic games.

In the early days of the previous life, Nintendo was very good at playing the means of hunger marketing, deliberately creating a situation where some popular works were out of stock, so that users could be more eager to get their games.

But this is based on absolute advantage.

If Takeyusei wanted to do this earlier, it would definitely be no problem, because there were almost no opponents at that time, and he could also be accepted by players if he did some tricks.

But now it’s not possible, Su Rui Electronics is staring at it covetously.

The player walked out of the Yusei Electronic Entertainment store with some disappointment, and the clerk of the store selling Su Rui Electronic Games on the same street immediately enthusiastically recruited the player to come over.

"Customer, you can come to our house to try out our latest game works. Some works are not inferior to Yusei Electronic Entertainment."

The player was a little disdainful, and he didn't believe the nonsense of the clerk.

However, he couldn't help it after seeing the very cool game video screens at the door of Su Rui Electronics.

Once people get used to the entertainment brought by electronic games, they can no longer easily accept the feeling of losing it.

Although old games are not unplayable, no one can refuse cooler and newer games.

In the end, the player walked into the store and bought a handheld game console and several games.

Because even if these games are not as good as those of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the overall quality is not much different.

Because these games were also produced by the studios that made games for Youxing in the past.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the enlightenment of the world's game industry, and it is also the existence of the Huangpu Military Academy of the world's game industry. It has cultivated countless outstanding game producers, who are also the treasures of this industry.

Now Su Rui Electronics also has many games with a quality of more than three and a half stars.

Players who do not have absolutely strict requirements for the quality of electronic games can also accept it.

Among the stores, the players finally chose Su Rui Electronics helplessly.

And in the media newspapers, Nagao Yu was excited again.

The previous strong sales data of Youxing Electronic Entertainment really made him a little lack of confidence.

But now, seeing that their sales momentum is growing rapidly, while the opponent's sales are starting to decline slowly due to production capacity constraints, he began to mock with a somewhat gloating tone.

Previously, he felt that buying Youxing Electronic Entertainment for 10 billion felt a bit of a loss, and then wanted to buy it for 30 to 40 billion. Now it seems that 30 to 40 billion is not necessary, and more than 10 billion should be enough. It depends on whether Youxing Electronic Entertainment is willing to give in. Or, if Youxing Electronic Entertainment decides to use the disc carrier form to make game handhelds again, Su Rui Electronics may be able to provide a little "technical help"

In short, in any interview related to Nagao Yu in the media, his words are very weird.

Then he would occasionally show off how much capital favored his own online portal and how many stable users his new online shopping fantasy had.

In such a situation, he did not forget to advertise himself and brag about himself, which was quite smart.

At this time, Su Rui Electronics also took the opportunity to promote the benefits of its own optical disc standard.

The biggest advantage of optical discs is that they are cheap and the materials are very easy to obtain.

As long as the authorization is obtained, even a company with no technical foundation can quickly build a mature optical disc production line, and there is no such thing as limited production capacity.

So if there are other third-party manufacturers loyal to Youxing Electronic Entertainment who are interested, they are willing to provide any technical support.

If a third party wants to directly build an optical disc production line, their technicians will definitely provide the best technical service support.

At one time, there were more and more comments about the advantages of optical discs, and some experts with related interests also took the initiative to promote optical discs as a carrier, saying that they were the star of the future. Flash memory chips had too many uncertainties, the materials were more expensive than optical discs, and mining was also difficult. Finally, they even brought up the environmental protection argument, saying that the production process of optical discs was more environmentally friendly than flash memory chips, and that they were the only choice for developing industries in many regions.
