Chapter 425 This is the number one in the world
As soon as Yoichi Erikawa stepped off the stage, the venue suddenly darkened, and a picture of the elf and the second generation appeared on the big screen.
"In 1989, the Pioneer Generation sold more than 37 million units and earned more than 2.8 billion U.S. dollars."
"In 1989, Gremlins 2 sold more than 33.97 million units and earned more than 1.1 billion U.S. dollars."
In the home console market, normally speaking, when the sequel console starts to be promoted, the sales of the previous generation have basically stagnated.
But with the Elf, this convention has been broken. The Elf II is priced at US$299 and not everyone can afford it.
And the first generation is not bad. When Liu Zhiyuan saw that the sales of the first generation did not show a cliff-like decline, he directly stopped the price reduction and clearance strategy. Although they would not be produced again, the price would not drop.
The second generation of the Elf is limited by production capacity, and it did not exceed the first generation that already had sufficient supply in half a year, and although the second generation is priced at US$299.
But in terms of profitability, it is far inferior to the previous generation. This is the current situation of home game consoles. Handheld consoles are still good, and you can make a little profit. If the console does not lose money, you will make a profit.
At this time, the picture on the screen changed again.
“Nintendo’s entire series of console sales totaled more than 91.79 million units.”
"Sega's entire series of console sales totaled more than 17.73 million units."
Remember URL
"The sales volume of Han Dynasty's entire series of consoles exceeds 110 million units."
Pictures of Nintendo's GA, GAMEBOY, SFC, Sega's SMS, MD, GG, as well as the first and second generations of the Han Dynasty's Gremlins appeared on the big screen.
Below each product is listed its sales worldwide.
"Nintendo entered the video game market in 1970, and it has been around for 20 years so far."
"Sega entered the video game market in 1950, and it has been an exaggerated 40 years so far."
"The Han Dynasty entered the electronic game market in 1987, which was only a short three years."
Liu Zhiyuan's voice was very excited. This was not intentional. He started to use this tone involuntarily while looking at the rows of data.
Although his goal was to defeat Nintendo and Sega, when the day came, he still couldn't completely control his emotions.
"In three years, the Han Dynasty grew from scratch and became the most famous party in the gaming industry."
"In three years, the Han Dynasty developed several super masterpieces and made tens of billions of dollars in profit."
"Three years..."
Many people have stood up from their seats, especially Chen Guoqiang and other first batch of employees who joined the Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhiyuan really accomplished what he originally said, turning Han Dynasty into a company that surpassed Nintendo. This time only took 3 years.
Most of the employees who joined the Han Dynasty later were stunned when they looked at the rows of data. In fact, they all knew that the Gremlins series surpassed the consoles of Nintendo and Sega.
But when this data was displayed so straightforwardly on the big screen, they were still stunned.
Does this mean they have become number one? They didn’t do much during the time they joined! They just focused on developing games. Will they surpass Nintendo and become the number one company in terms of game console sales in the world?
Nowadays, no one will deny that handheld consoles are not serious game consoles. Therefore, regardless of whether the Han Dynasty has a home console or not, it is the number one company in the world in terms of game console sales.
And when the Han Dynasty's total profit in 1989 was shown on the big screen, everyone present stood up.
"$31.53 billion."
This number occupied the entire big screen, and fierce applause instantly resounded throughout the venue.
The annual profit is 31.5 billion U.S. dollars. Even if all expenses are thrown away, it is at least 10 billion U.S. dollars in revenue!
With a net income of US$10 billion a year, not to mention the gaming industry, how many industries in the world can reach this level?
The Han Dynasty never concealed its income, but no one knows exactly how much profit it made. This number will definitely cause a sensation tomorrow.
"Han Dynasty!"
Jiang Jiahao's face turned red with excitement. In three years, he has become a household name around the world and was even invited to the Grammys.
In 3 years, his dream came true, and it was so fast that people were overwhelmed.
He suddenly jumped on the table and raised his arms and shouted the name of Han Dynasty. This sound directly caused a chain reaction in the venue, and every Han Dynasty employee shouted loudly.
"Han Dynasty!"
"Han Dynasty!"
"Han Dynasty..."
"..."
Liu Zhiyuan also laughed and shouted the name of the Han Dynasty. He kept shouting for three minutes until someone's throat couldn't stand it and the atmosphere relaxed.
"Okay, everyone, take a short break. Let's start the first event today, the Han Dynasty Annual Meeting Fighting Competition under One Man."
If the following activities are not carried out, the annual meeting will probably end before dawn.
"The participation prize is US$500, the third place is US$1,000, the second place is US$2,000, and the first place is US$5,000."
Those checks sent out just now are not activity bonuses, they are sales bonuses. Ordinary employees cannot get them. The following activities are benefits for employees.
"If you want to get the bonus, come on stage!"
After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he retreated to the audience. The staff began to move the arcade machines, which were under one person each, to the stage. The activities of the Han Dynasty Annual Meeting officially began.
...
"The Han Dynasty officially surpassed Nintendo, and the entire series of Pokemon sold more than 110 million units."
"The first company in the gaming industry to sell over 100 million consoles, Han Dynasty!"
"Three years of transformation, the soul of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan."
"The Han Dynasty made a profit of US$31.53 billion in 1989!"
“Capcom received a $100 million check bonus from Han Dynasty President Liu Zhiyuan.”
"The Han Dynasty held a grand annual meeting with prize money as high as 1 million US dollars."
"Namco and Pokemon team leader Satoshi Tajiri have settled their feud."
"..."
Not surprisingly, the contents of the Han Dynasty Annual Meeting began to spread around the world in just two days.
As the world's top traffic company, Han Dynasty couldn't hide anything Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to hide.
Because he refused to allow any non-Han Dynasty staff to enter last night, it was time to test the strength of each media outlet.
There is a lot to report on this annual meeting, it just depends on who has the ability to get first-hand information.
In addition to the Central Electronic Technology Channel, a media closely linked to the Han Dynasty, several small media coalitions and Helen were the first to get the specific content of the annual meeting.
In the competition with the Sega press conference, the media who had not been to the Han Dynasty could not come up with any new content other than checking what others had left.
There are many big media among them, but when the employees of Han Dynasty heard that it was a certain company, they turned around and left. They would rather suppress their excitement and want to talk to these people.
