Chapter 188 Handy and Atari

This meeting, which was related to the future development of the Han Dynasty, had been held for more than half a month. Although Liu Zhiyuan did not show his face in the world again, his reputation did not decrease, but became higher and higher.

At the end of April, as Liu Zhiyuan said, the first war for handheld consoles was over. GB's sales did increase under the cost-price supply policy, but this increase was far lower than everyone expected, including Liu Zhiyuan.

, he thought that GB would usher in a wave of explosion, and he had already prepared the means, but the expected scene did not come! 4.48 million units, this is the latest sales volume of GB.

If more than 400 handheld consoles were sold at the original price, GB would also be a failure, but it still retains hope of a comeback. However, at the cost price, GB has no hope. If the price drops, it will be too difficult to increase it.

The price is not reduced by a few dollars, but by dozens of dollars! This is why Liu Zhiyuan did not agree to the price reduction of Might and Magic in the first place.

Backlight! A somewhat beautiful thing, became the last straw that crushed GB. Although the historical GB had a crisis because of the lack of backlight, it definitely did not die because of this reason. Instead, the improved GB was too

Power consumption, players fell in love with GB without backlight again.

The battery life of the Genie is not as good as that of the GB, but it can still reach 20 hours of gaming time. It is not at the same level of design, and it is not at the same level as the starting lineup of games. Coupled with the defects of the GB backlight, there is a gap of 10 hours of gaming time.

It was no longer a problem, victory came so easily.

At the same time, the news of Minoru Arakawa and Gunpei Yokoi joining the Han Dynasty has become known to everyone. MSI and Yingtai have been exposed. Liu Zhiyuan can no longer hide the Han Dynasty in the dark, but he does not need to anymore.

It was sneaky because...

"Arakawa Minoru, Suzuki Yu, Yokoi Gunpei, two good hardware manufacturers plus Liu Zhiyuan..."

Hiroshi Yamauchi knew that he was careless. He had never taken a liking to the Han Dynasty. He had always thought that Rendang's biggest enemy was Sega and Sony, which had not yet entered the market. But now he discovered that Rentang's enemy was actually the Han Dynasty.

In terms of potential, the Han Dynasty was actually the strongest.

“Is the news that the Han Dynasty stole Sega’s MD technology reliable?”

"Reliable, according to Sega's Hayao Nakayama, he is already preparing to sue the Han Dynasty."

Yamauchi Hiroshi sighed silently.

"fool!"

Nakayama Hayao, the head of a company, had the most powerful host technology stolen under his nose. He really looked down on this kind of person. In Rentang, such a thing would never happen. Liu Zhiyuan was in Rendang, even if there was rebellion.

Heart, there is absolutely no chance!

"Get ready. Next year, the gaming industry may really welcome a true first-party player."

At this moment, not only Hiroshi Yamauchi, everyone in the gaming industry is guessing when Han Dynasty's "MD" will be released next year, but they never imagined that Liu Zhiyuan's goal from beginning to end was handheld!

"President Robin, how are you thinking?"

America, Epyx headquarters, Atari's president Alexander took a sip of coffee.

"$28 million is far more than Handy's value."

Robin was unkempt and smoking a cigarette. He didn't want to sell Handy. He could see how popular the elves of the Han Dynasty were. Even GB, which was called a failure, had sales of more than 4 million, but he had no channels to sell himself.

product, he firmly believes that Handy will be successful and will crush Elf, because Handy has a color screen! It is unique to Ruci!

"$100 million! Handy is not comparable to the black and white screens of Elf and GB."

When Alexander heard the price, the smile on his face disappeared. Atari was no longer what it was yesterday. He racked his brains and didn't know how to make Atari turn around. At this time, the elf appeared!

Hiroshi Yamauchi, the tyrant who destroyed Atari, doesn't like the handheld market, but he does! From the moment Genie appeared, he invested all Atari's resources in it. The more he analyzed it, the more concerned he became.

shock!

This is a market with terrifying consumption power! It is a market that is not inferior to home consoles! Everyone, including him, if he had not regarded handheld consoles as Atari's life-saving straw, he would not have discovered that this market would be like this

Huge! Hiroshi Yamauchi, Hayao Nakayama, Norio Ohga...these people are all blind! But the more this happens, the better. This is a good opportunity for Atari to turn around!

This was not the first time he came to talk to Robin about the Handy handheld console. Robin's offer was lower every time, but the US$100 million was still far more than his bottom line! It's not that Atari couldn't develop its own handheld console, but

Time waits for no one!

When the Genie completely dominates the market, and when Hiroshi Yamauchi realizes the profits of the handheld market, his Atari will never have such a good opportunity again.

"Robin, you have to understand that good products don't mean sales. How do you sell your Handy? Do you have Liu's planning capabilities? Do you have Rentang's channels? Do you have your own game?

?”

Without waiting for Robin to say anything, Alexander encouraged himself.

"You have nothing. Handy is in your hands and you can't sell 10,000 units! 28 million US dollars is my bottom line. If you don't agree, then I won't come back. Atari is not incapable of developing handheld consoles.

"

Why didn't Robin understand what Alexander said? He was sure that Handy would succeed, but someone had to see it! There also had to be games for players to play. He had contacted those game manufacturers, but not those top third parties, even if they were not

Everyone on the first level looked down upon him.

While he was still thinking, Alexander spoke again.

"Handy was sold to Atari. I made the decision to ask you, Robin, to join Atari with your team. Handy's subsequent series will be jointly developed by you and Atari's team. But Robin, you still asked for an outrageous price.

That..."

"Although Atari is no longer what it used to be, Epyx...you don't have to worry about it yet."

Listening to this naked threat, Robin's face was very ugly, but he knew that Alexander had this ability. On the one hand, he joined Atari, and on the other hand, he was suppressed. Did he still have a choice? Yes! In the East, there, he still has

A choice!

"I need to think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alexander stood up directly. Looking at Alexander with a cold face, he hurriedly arrived.

"One week! One week at the latest! I will definitely give President Alexander an answer."

Although he was sure that Handy would succeed, the supply of elves in the Han Dynasty was in short supply. He didn't know if Liu Zhiyuan would like his handheld console. Even if he did, would the price be higher than that of Atari? He also wanted to understand now.

Now that Handy has no hope in his hands, selling it is the only option.
Chapter completed!
