Even though sometimes people know that cheap goods are not good, they still can't help it.
This is also a human instinct.
It is impossible for Zhuyouxing to go against the trend and do things against human instinct. It has to price its games very high and compete with those cheap junk games. This is unrealistic now.
The real core players are probably only two to three million now, and other players are more incapable of discerning. If they are not tempted by low prices and play high-priced fun games, the resistance will be great.
So if that's the case, Bamboo Traveling Star will simply do something ruthless.
The games you guys make are indeed very cheap and in large quantities, but what if I make them cheaper than you?
But don’t even think about making cheap games for SFC game consoles.
The average cartridge cost of SFC game consoles alone is higher than the sales cost of inferior cartridges produced on junk game consoles.
This is completely a loss-making business.
Zhu Youxing is indeed not short of money now, but he cannot afford such consumption.
What if all the reserve funds are exhausted?
So since this method doesn't work, let's try another method and work around it.
It just so happens that FC has not yet been launched in the United States, and many players have not experienced games from the FC era.
Although the sound effects are certainly not as good as SFC, they are cheaper.
Although the picture quality is definitely not as good as sfc , it is cheaper!
Although it may not be as good as SFC in terms of content and some gameplay may not be possible on FC, it is cheaper!
Cheap is enough.
With the mature mass production of FC, coupled with the ultra-large batch purchase of cheap chips, the entire packaging cost of FC can now be reduced to 500 yen.
Can you believe that a game console costs five dollars?
Of course, those guys in the United States can also follow suit and launch cheaper products, but I am simply using my inventory to compete with you, and then there is another punch waiting to hit you, which is to take up the law.
Weapons, I will take you all to court one by one. I will treat those who are serious about making games, but those who engage in plagiarism, especially those who don’t even bother to modify the code and just sell it as their own game, are just waiting to give me money.
Come.
The iron fist of the law will make you guys realize the consequences of entering this market hastily.
In fact, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is doing very well. Their game consoles have always been very popular, but are always out of stock in the United States, because more people will give priority to buying a game console and giving it a try.
As long as you buy a game console, you will never be able to use those junk cassettes. You can only buy sfc cassettes to play. Under the effect of fame, Xingxing Electronic Entertainment is not particularly bad. Zhuyouxing is just preparing for a rainy day.
The one who is really having a bad life is Surui Electronics.
The bad currency immediately worsened their already low reputation. Now the market is in an extreme state. You either buy cheap ones or buy Yuxing Electronic Entertainment products.
Huh? What is Surui Electronics? I don’t know. Do they also produce game consoles? I thought they only produced Walkmans.
In recent times, Surui Electronics' game console business sales have plummeted, which is very miserable.
They are eager to find some ways to save themselves, but they can't find any in a short time, which is a headache.
They have thought several times about whether to open the game console port and let those junk games be added to Surui Electronics.
But in the end they were all rejected by Hayakawa Ueto.
He wanted to wait, but he was a little unwilling to do so.
He didn't have Zhu Youxing's foresight. After all, he didn't travel through time, so he didn't think about any strategy.
But Zhu Youxing seized this opportunity.
Although Zhuyouxing only wants to use cheap money to deal with bad coins and drive out good coins, fc is also a window.
Cheap enough game consoles can also bring video game enlightenment to more players. Let them join first, and then wait until they like video games. If they are not satisfied with simple graphics and sound effects, they will pursue a better gaming experience.
At that time, it will be Zhuyouxing's opportunity to gain more reputation.
Within a few days, Shenda Electronics immediately re-adjusted its production lines. Two of the three newly opened factories were assigned to the full-line production of fc. Moreover, Shenda Electronics also signed a new contract with the manufacturer of the production line. A new contract.
This can reduce production costs by another ten percent.
At this time, Matsuhashi was still a little anxious.
At this time, she also saw that something was wrong with the market in the United States. It seemed that more and more people had begun to report on the Internet and elsewhere that video games were garbage and not worth playing.
Once this inherent impression is formed, they will resist spending money on video games, and the impact is far-reaching.
But Matsuhashi was unable to make a decision directly, and Takeyusei asked her to wait for a few days. She didn't sleep well these days, thinking about this matter every day.
Even though the development of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is booming now, she still has a premonition that if nothing is done quickly, the game industry will be in danger.
Then, when the production line at Shenda Electronics was finalized and construction started, Zhuyusing contacted Matsuhashi Minoru again.
"President, you finally called me. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I want to know how you deal with the problems in the United States?"
When the production line was ready to start operation, Takeyusei no longer panicked, and he could call Minoru Matsuhashi with peace of mind.
He smiled and comforted on the phone: "I told you before, don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures."
"How is that..."
"I plan to officially sell the FC game console to the United States, and I plan to sell it at a price of fifty dollars for a game console and five dollars for a game. If necessary, the price of the game can be even lower.
Even if it costs more than the cassette, it won’t matter.”
Now, there are still a large number of discarded cassettes stored in warehouses here in Japan.
Most of those cassettes were old cassettes that were left over after players exchanged 500 yen for the upgrade to SFC cassettes during the upgrade process from FC to SFC.
As long as they are refurbished, they can be used again.
The cost of these cassettes is even lower than the storage cost. Originally, Zhuyouxing had begun to consider destroying these cassettes because they had no value anymore, but unexpectedly they seemed to be of some use at this moment.
A rough estimate shows that there are tens of millions of these cassettes, covering various types, and they are all exported to the United States. Even if they only sell for one dollar, there will be no problem, and there will still be about 10%.
Gross profit, of course, must be sold in your own store. If you go to department stores to sell these products, you will probably lose money.
Matsuhashi Minoru listened to what Takeyusei said with wide eyes. Takeyusei's strategy made her smile from ear to ear.
