Chapter 380 Wrong decision between red and blue

In April and January, the autumn weather in Tokyo became particularly lively on that day.

There are rows of animation shops and electrical appliance stores on both sides of the street, almost all of which are crowded with people.

Although there were a lot of people in the past, it was rare to see the entire street being impassable like now.

Even though the port was crowded with people, unexpectedly the crowd was divided into two groups.

Although there is no obvious distinction between clothing and clothing, everyone gathers in two groups in front of each store in tacit understanding.

And the occasional glances in the wrong direction all declare to outsiders that they are not in the same group.

Not only were they not in the same group, they even showed a hint of hostility towards each other.

And the reason for such a clearly divided situation has a lot to do with where everyone will gather tomorrow.

Just look at the magazines or newspapers they hold in their legs.

"Hongchuan Electric VS Nintendo! REDAY GO!"

"The curtain opens and the two game heroes appear!"

"Wrong decision between red and blue! Set off in the next month!"

Look, the atmosphere has been heightened. As a die-hard fan of the two families, it would be damned if they could live in harmony.

Since more than half a month ago, the media has been hyping the mismatch between the two heroes in the game console industry.

What you should know and what you shouldn’t know, everyone knows that big things will happen in the gaming world tomorrow.

As a large number of animation, Jiaowang and electronics stores, Qiuyeji is certainly the first choice for young people.

Although the spring break is coming to an end, it does not prevent everyone from welcoming that grand event in the game console industry on the last day of the holiday.

Arriving just after ten o'clock in the afternoon, the shops on both sides of the street opened their doors to welcome customers as if they had made appointments.

"Coming! Coming!"

As soon as the store door opened, what came into view were the distinct colors of red and blue.

Nintendo’s red FC poster, Hongchuan Electric’s blue FES poster.

They are hung in the most conspicuous position at the door, one on the left and one on the right, with a strong sense of stitching.

The fans who were in high spirits outside the door couldn't help but shout when they saw the scene.

Then, as if they had received the order at the same time, the two groups rushed out of the store.

Their directions are the same, but their destinations are automatically separated one to the left and the other to the right after entering the door.

Please talk and stir things up, Qiu Yehui’s store is better at playing tricks than the media.

Those merchants who have been immersed in product promotion all year round are well aware that different fan groups despise each other and have prejudices against each other.

It just so happens that the red-blue war that has been hotly hyped by the media has aroused considerable discussion, so wouldn’t it be a big loss if we don’t make good use of that?

The misunderstanding between fans is caused by various stores changing their ways, and the tit-for-tat contrasting posters at the door are simply childish.

Very cleverly, they placed two large signboards directly at the door.

The monthly sales volume of Hongchuan Electrical Appliances and Nintendo game consoles will be recorded here.

Whoever wins a day will put a small flag behind their billboard.

Look, the sales of the game console I support, Mingyue, are lagging behind. Why don’t you quickly ask my friends to support Yidong?

But whoever loses or wins between Bulong Hongchuan Electric and Nintendo, the store will never make a mistake and will not lose money.

"FC! FC!", "FES! Give him an FES!"

The waves of greetings rang out from time to time outside the store. The cashiers were sweating profusely when they went there, and they didn't even have time to communicate occasionally.

The crowds of people crowded in front of the counter waiting to check out had red, red and blue patches on their legs.

According to a rough estimate, the quantity of the two seems to be about the same.

The reason why there is such a close match is because the fan groups of the two are about the same size.

It can be seen from the market share of the two handheld consoles that although Hongchuan Electric has an advantage, it has not reached an overwhelming level.

And Nintendo is no longer an old player in the gaming industry, and its accumulated fans can slightly make up for its lack of market share.

Another reason why there is not much difference between the two is that the price of Hongchuan Electric's FES and Nintendo's FC are the same, both at 14,800 yuan per month.

I see, isn’t that a coincidence?

In fact, it is not a coincidence, the marketing departments of both companies have analyzed it.

If you want to make game consoles affordable for the group, mainly students, then the price must follow the principle of low pricing.

After Hongchuan Electric revealed its price, Nintendo set the same price without hesitation.

Sega's SG-1000 was initially priced at 19,800 yuan, but after misquoting the other two, it quietly adjusted the price to 15,000 yuan.

"Store manager! Store manager! Why don't you have a game console?" The loud voice silenced the crowd.

"Hey." The clerk who went to Lu looked up and looked at the red and blue packaging boxes on the shelf, and looked at the questioner strangely.

"Uh, he was talking about Sega's SG-1000 game console."

"Tch~" The crowd booed in unison.

The questioner's face turned red, and he ran away with his head in his hands.

That small episode did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for shopping. After getting the game console, many people stopped in another row of shelves.

Why? Because there are so many game cartridges there.

Similarly, Hongchuan Electric and Nintendo's cartridges are also differentiated between left and right.

In fact, in the packaging box in their legs, along with the console, there is a box of cassettes provided by two companies.

Nintendo gave me "Donkey Kong" and Hongchuan Electric gave me "Thunderbolt".

Both companies have invariably brought out their most famous and popular games. If they want their game consoles to sell well, the launch game lineup is crucial.

For children, how can one game be enough?

The shelves filled with game cartridges soon became crowded with people.

Of course, the first thing people buy is transplanted games that have long been famous, such as Nintendo's "Donkey Kong JR", "Popeye", etc.

They are both very well-known Jiaowang games, and countless people have played those two games.

Hongchuan Electric also has popular hits like "Pac-Man", so there is no need to worry about sales.

Generally speaking, there are obviously more people standing in front of Hongchuan Electric's game cartridges.

Is that because Hongchuan Electric has many more FES first-release game cartridges than Nintendo.

In addition to "Thunderbolt" and "Pac-Man", HAL also produced two games such as "Tank Battle" and "Double Dragon".

Third-party game developers, Namco's "Little Bee" and Enix's "Door" are also on the shelves.

And depending on the game content, Hongchuan Electric’s game cartridges are also designed in different colors.

For example, the blue of "Thunderbolt", the yellow of "Pac-Man", the military green of "Tank Battle", etc. The game stickers are also very beautiful.

Unlike Nintendo's game cartridges, there are three types on the shelf, most of which are gray and red.

In the eyes of children, of course the colorful colors are more attractive.

Seeing the chattering discussion on the opposite side, the students holding Nintendo game consoles couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At the same time, Hongchuan Feng Electric's exquisite game posters attracted their attention from time to time.

I'm really greedy. It's like being scratched by a kitten on the outside and inside. It's so itchy that I can't bear it.

In Saikawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, outside the dormitory of a general university, a classmate wearing black-rimmed glasses was lying on the bed and flipping through a book in boredom.

The motionless eyeballs and the page he turned over for a long time all showed that he was absent-minded at the moment.

"Si Guoyi! Si Guoyi~"

A series of calls came from outside the door from far to near. With the sound of the door, a short-haired boy wearing a vest rushed into the dormitory.

The loud sound made Dong, a bespectacled classmate who was reading a book out of boredom on the bed, frown consciously.

He propped himself up on his body and looked at his fussy roommate, wanting to know what he was excited about.

"Hey" His action made the short-haired boy look there.

"Xiaojiao, hurry up! There is something good!"

Seeing the dull gourd from the same club, the short-haired boy was so excited that he couldn't help but raise the blue packaging box in his lap and say hello.

"Hey" a classmate named Xiaodao was attracted by his roommate's behavior and couldn't help but get up and walk over.

However, at that time, the short-haired boy had already started playing with the old TV set outside the dormitory.
