In fact, Zhu Youxing felt that he didn't have many choices. His biggest wish was to have no regrets.
Then the best option can only be to continue to improve the performance of the game console.
Fortunately, I still have many ideas for excellent games.
Just take it out to a handheld device and it will increase sales again and again.
If he didn't have this kind of confidence, Zhu Youxing probably wouldn't have taken such a risk.
On the same day, Zhu Youxing first announced his ideas to the company's engineering development department.
At the same time, the news of this new handheld console was disclosed to the person in charge of the company's core development team.
They were not surprised by the news of this new development plan.
Because judging from the release date of GBA, it is time to start developing the next generation of handheld consoles.
However, they were a little surprised by Zhu Youxing's idea.
This time Zhuyouxing wants to make another big jump in game performance.
In order to clearly explain to everyone the new handheld console that they envisioned, everyone also held an internal discussion meeting.
"My initial idea was to launch a handheld console with upper and lower screens. One of the screens can use the latest touch technology, making our product a fashionable product in electronic technology. As for performance, I also plan to improve it again.
, the standard is that it can run video games with graphics performance comparable to gs1."
After Takeyusei finished speaking, Airi Hayasawa immediately raised his hand.
"Zhuyou...President, isn't this span a bit too big? Also, why is it dual screens?"
"Dual-screen is just an idea of mine, because I have some ideas that fit this mechanism. As for the span you mentioned, it does seem very big, but this is the first time I hope to make a system that can satisfy as much as possible.
A gaming console for all gamers’ appetites.”
Airi Hayasawa immediately said: "I'm afraid the cost is not cheap, and if we continue to sell it at the price of a handheld console, we will be losing money."
"Selling the console at a loss and then making money back from games is my definition of this handheld console. At the same time, I also hope that this handheld console can continue to operate for more than five years. In this way, along with Moore's Law
By gradually doubling the performance of the processor many times, the cost of our game consoles can be continuously reduced. Selling game consoles may be a loss-making business in the early stage, but it will not be the case later."
A console ready to be sold for more than five years?
Everyone started thinking seriously.
The lifespan of their two previous game consoles, SFC and GB, was about four years.
Now gba will slowly become obsolete as time goes by, and it will be replaced sooner or later.
So now, it does sound great to make a handheld console with performance comparable to that of a home console, and handheld game developers will have more room to play.
Recently, some handheld game developers have gradually begun to complain about the weak performance of the GBA handheld console.
The performance of game consoles in this world is developing too fast, and Zhuyouxing has accelerated the performance of this game console.
And game developers, like players, will gradually no longer be satisfied with the performance development of current game consoles.
They also hope that they can have more development space when developing games.
The current handheld console market is more like a platform for orthodox console development teams to practice their skills.
When the experience of game developers matures, they will immediately jump out of the handheld development team and join the console development team to develop console games with stronger game performance.
glutinous rice
If a handheld console with explosive performance is really released, it will actually have a brand new choice for game developers.
They will also be very welcome.
"These are my assumptions. Now let's see if you have any other opinions. We will solve it during the internal meeting. First of all, what I want to say is that my assumptions are not 100% accurate. If
If you can find some reasons that convince me enough, then it is okay to make certain changes to the architecture of this handheld console. I welcome all of you to brainstorm."
At this time, a development team leader raised his hand and said, "President, do we want to announce the development of this handheld console to our employees?"
Zhu Youxing nodded: "Just announce it. The confidentiality regulations will keep them secretive. I can trust our employees on this. If ordinary employees also have some good ideas, they will be willing to accept them."
Everyone nodded.
They are actually a little confused about this so-called dual-screen development.
They haven't broken out of the inherent rules of the game console screen yet.
If you can’t take care of one screen, then what will the performance be like with two screens?
At the same time, they seemed to have come to their senses.
It turns out that the upgraded version of the previous gbsp handheld console was prepared for this.
Lay out a flip-top handheld console in advance, and then launch a dual-screen game console under the flip-top.
However, no one can say whether such a game console will be successful.
In fact, if this idea was put forward by the boss of an ordinary game company, everyone would probably think that it was the wild idea of that company boss and it was simply nonsense.
This is completely contrary to mainstream thinking.
However, Zhu Yusei is the god of games, so if it is his idea, it should be quite correct.
Zhu Youxing did not say anything completely, but gave everyone a time to think.
Let them go back and think carefully about the feasibility of such a thing.
It's one thing that Zhuyouxing came up with the idea at the beginning, but whether this dual-screen handheld machine can really be popular is another thing.
Zhuyouxing even envisioned a market research plan.
If the handheld console is really going to be distributed, it will be consumers who will be faced with it in the future, so it is necessary to conduct some market research in advance.
However, a high-performance handheld processor can be studied in advance.
This can go hand in hand with the gameplay and appearance design of the handheld device.
After the meeting, the engineering development team issued tender notices to several large processor manufacturers.
This time is different.
The performance of previous game consoles was relatively behind the technological development of this world.
Then finding a processor with wider versatility and greater compatibility is the best choice.
In this case, just go and find the company with the strongest processor production in the world.
The price of the processor itself has also matured. They also welcome large-scale purchases of this relatively outdated product. The unused production lines can be reused and they can continue to use them to make a wave of money, and this old production line
Just occupying a production position does not require too much manpower, so why not do it.
