Chapter 209 The skinny camel is bigger than a horse

The most important thing is that the decline of arcades has come to an end from the moment it started with FC and the masterpieces such as Super Mario. There is nothing he can do about it. This cannot be changed by human power.

The advantage of arcade machines is that their performance far exceeds that of home consoles. This is the only advantage of arcade machines. However, with the development and upgrading of home consoles and the advent of the 3D era, this advantage is no longer an advantage. Except for Sega, there is no other advantage in the world.

One manufacturer is also investing in research and development of arcade substrate technology.

Even Sega would have died miserably if it had not taken the only path to success in arcades. Somatosensory games have become the only feature of later generations of arcades, but Liu Zhiyuan is not sure how long this feature can last.

.

Kinect, a full-information motion-sensing game console built by Microsoft at a huge cost, has created countless miraculous sales. However, in just 4 years, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of production. Its failure proved that at least in 2020, there is no need to think about home motion-sensing game consoles.

The home motion-sensing game console is a good gimmick. Liu Zhiyuan will not let it go. VR is the same, but he does not have too many expectations for these two things. In his estimation, the home motion-sensing game console will at least

It won’t be possible to enter the home until 2030, and VR will have to wait even longer.

The world is going crazy. If Nobuyuki Shinoda is just a special case among all living beings, then the global closed beta test under one person will not make players crazy, but what if it is not a special case? In just 2 days, the Han Dynasty sent out millions

USD prizes, ranging from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars!

This is not luck, this is ability! Whoever has the ability can get this money. It doesn’t require you to be smart or a top student. There are no restrictions. As long as you can play games, as long as you can discover games.

If there are any defects in it, the bonus will be waving to you!

If it were just the bonus, the popularity of one person would not be able to push out Pocket Elf, which has been at the top of the list of expectations for several months. Jointly developing this game with Han Dynasty and Kapong is the most important thing for senior players.

A fatal blow!

Liu Zhiyuan said that there will be many background characters in this game, such as referees, spectators, etc. These characters have no impact on the game but will show their faces. When the closed beta is completed, he will rank the players according to their merits.

The greater the contribution, the more opportunities the character created by the player will be shown.

In this case, how could the players not be crazy! This is not the old Yuko players who are used to seeing various competitions in later generations. This is an impact on those who still subconsciously hold the idea that playing games is a waste of time! It is huge ideologically

The impact is that it turns out that playing games can also make money, become famous, and become a career!

As expected, Atari's top management began to panic again. This time, the pre-sales did not drop a little, but fell off a cliff. Many sales points had to refund the pre-sale deposits. The reasons collected were:

One account accounts for 95%, that is, we are going to participate in the internal beta of Han Dynasty! This is really a problem, a big problem! If this problem is not solved, LYNX will probably die before it is released!

"Stop making noise!"

Robin scolded irritably. At this time, the board of directors was simply more chaotic than a vegetable market.

"Everyone be quiet!"

The dispute gradually subsided, and when the conference room was quiet, Robin put out the cigarette in his hand.

"What I want is for you to come up with a solution, not a meaningless quarrel!"

After a short silence, someone whispered something.

"We also learn from the Han Dynasty and hold competitions. We at Atari also have games that can be competed, such as racing cars and airplanes."

This sentence caused chaos in the conference room again.

"Are you stupid?"

"How much did the Han Dynasty spend on hosting the competition? From the last DDR to now, it's probably worth 1 billion U.S. dollars!"

"Does Atari have that much money? Or do you think you have Liu's publicity skills? You have nothing but just want to hold global competitions! Do you think Atari dies too slowly?"

"..."

Not to be outdone, the man who was being attacked by a collective stood up and rebutted directly.

"FUCK! I asked you to come up with a plan, but you don't have one. This is my simple proposal. Let's wait and see if it works. Don't vent your incompetent grievances on me!"

Looking at the conference room that was out of control again, Robin's face showed decadence, Atari, do you rely on these people to save you?

On July 1st, the release date of Atari LYNX finally came. Although everyone predicted that Atari would be miserable this time after seeing Liu Zhiyuan’s counterattack, they did not expect how miserable it would be! In one word.

Describe Atari's sales point, Monroe!

On July 2, the global sales of LYNX on the first day were calculated. It was more than 70,000 units. In addition to Liu Zhiyuan's reasons for the misfortune, Atari also chose a policy of refunding pre-sale deposits in order to win back people's hearts. Although it was not

All refunded.

On July 3, the sales volume of LYNX on the second day made everyone's hair stand on end. It was 10,000 units, almost falling into five digits!

On July 4th, LYNX once again faced a bigger crisis, that is, a small number of players began to give crazy negative reviews.

"Asshole, you can play the elf of the Han Dynasty for 20 hours, the Nintendo GB can be played for nearly 2 days, and the LYNX can't even be played for 4 hours!"

"I'm sorry, Atari, I'm your fan, but, sorry, I really can't afford it."

"What's the point of this kind of color screen? Such a small screen, less than 4 hours of game time, and still dare to sell it for 200 US dollars! I will never buy any Atari products in the future!"

"The game is too bad, and the game console is even worse. Apart from refunding the pre-sale deposit, there is no sincerity at all!"

"The Han Dynasty will still think about us players and make games that are fun and have various bonuses..."

"After playing Atari's LYNX, I realized that games are the key to game consoles. Look at what kind of garbage games LYNX is! Not to mention super masterpieces, at least you have to give us the motivation to continue playing!"

"..."

On July 5th, the sales volume of LYNX dropped to the 100th place yesterday. Not only Atari is confused now, but the whole world is confused. Is this the end? What about the promised war? The two sides agreed to fight for their wits and courage.

Woolen cloth?

They were still waiting to see the two sides fight! But now, let them see this? Liu Zhiyuan did not show his face at all during the whole process, and their old acquaintance Arakawa Minoru did not appear. The person who presided over this battle was the great steward of the Han Dynasty, Li Huagui

!

Do you have the nerve to call yourself a giant in the gaming industry? Although we all know that you are a fallen giant, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! How dare you resist! Not even the first or second boss of the Han Dynasty
Chapter completed!
