The final result of this creative workshop was a great success.
Regardless of the surge in the number of simultaneous online players, the number of people interested in game development quickly increased to a new level after this time.
Zhu Youxing feels that he can look forward to these talented people developing interesting games.
He has always hoped to play more interesting games.
But this kind of thing can be done slowly. After the preliminary work of the creative workshop is completed, the rest can be completely left to the Battle.net platform department to handle, and he does not need to participate in anything.
And now he has another thing that needs to be focused on, which is the development of the latest game console.
While arranging the Battle.net platform, the development of new consoles has already reached an advanced stage.
"Zhuyou, this is our final version of the game console. We have also negotiated the price with the chip manufacturer. 100 million chips will be provided continuously within five years. The price can be reduced to US$270 per chip."
Airi Hayasawa stood next to Takeyusei who was holding a controller to experience the new console, and carefully introduced the features of this new game console to Takeyusei.
Nowadays, some key technologies of game consoles have been realized, so what is left is stacking performance to make game development and game production more convenient.
After hearing Airi Hayasawa's introduction to the purchase price of the chip, Takeyusei just casually hummed and continued to experience the latest console seriously.
This time, the latest console has a performance close to that of ps4, and the performance of the first game console has once again improved a little.
This is due to today's very experienced hardware development team.
Now these people are top talents with more than ten years of experience in game console development.
As long as these people live outside, they can become guests of other game manufacturers.
Especially Surui Electronics, they drool at the talents of Youxing Electronic Entertainment's hardware and game development team every day.
They have also extended an olive branch to these people more than once and invited them to join Suri Electronics.
But most of them refused without hesitation, and a few were a little moved. After all, the salary was really high, but in the end, most of them still couldn't bear to leave.
Because Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been here for many years, the benefits provided by Youxing Electronic Entertainment are also quite generous.
I am already so used to this kind of environment, so it may not be really good for me to go to a new environment just for a little more money.
There are also some suggestions from the wives of their respective families.
The families of these people are now very harmonious and happy.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never had an overtime policy. You can still go to work very happily every day. When you come back, you can happily chat with your wife and children about the day's work, which is very relaxing.
In Japanese society, the company Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is like an outlier.
Many people are really trying to get in now. If they really want to leave, then they are just showing off their brains.
Their respective wives also tried their best to dissuade their husbands from being reckless. For the sake of the extra salary, if you are not happy at work, it is actually better to continue working here.
It’s not like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is about to go bankrupt. Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is still thriving.
Only a small number of people who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail will choose to go to some small companies. As for how they fare after changing jobs, no one knows, at least they have not become famous after leaving Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Takeyusei's reaction to the price of this new chip was mediocre, and Airi Hayasawa couldn't help it when he saw it.
"Zhuyou, don't you think this price is a bit high? The price of the chip reaches 270 US dollars, and the entire production cost will probably reach close to 400 US dollars, which is far higher than any host product we have developed before."
Zhu Yuxing said casually: "There is nothing wrong with this. This time, the new game console development requires me to achieve such picture quality. In order to achieve such picture quality, a higher price is acceptable. Songqiao
, if it is a chip priced at US$270, can we probably control the retail cost to about US$399 in the end?”
At this moment, Matsuhashi Minoru was also having a remote video conference with Takeyusei.
Hearing Takeyusei's question, Minoru Matsuhashi frowned and began to think.
She is not responsible for the production arrangements, but she is now considered experienced and can basically infer the approximate actual retail price based on the manufacturing price of the chip.
"If it's $399, we'll probably have a small loss, probably around $10 to $20."
"Well, that means you will definitely lose money on sales in the first year?"
"Yes, but the price of subsequent chips will definitely decrease, which can gradually make up for the cost loss in the first year."
Zhu Youxing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. The initial loss of more than ten or twenty dollars for this machine is nothing. I can still afford this amount of money, so let's set the price at 399."
At this time, Minoru Matsuhashi also hesitated and then said: "President, Surui Electronics planned to price its own console at this price last time. The final response was obvious. Players didn't buy it. They didn't like it.
For a high-priced game console, isn’t our price of 399 a bit high?”
Zhu Youxing nodded: "It is indeed a bit high, but this is not really a big problem. We are still very different from Suri Electronics."
"President, I think we need to be cautious. Players' feedback is very important. If they hate this excessive price very much, sales will be seriously affected by then."
Zhu Youxing didn't particularly care and said, "Don't worry too much about this. I know what to do."
"Oh well."
Seeing that the persuasion didn't have much effect, Minoru Matsuhashi stopped insisting.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment is indeed not short of this loss, but she is still a little worried that this excessive price will cause a strong backlash from players.
Player support is the lifeblood of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. If many players are turned away because of excessively high prices, this is actually not cost-effective.
Airi Hayasawa suddenly said at this time: "Bamboo Games, in fact, we can still lower the prices of some game consoles. For example, if we sacrifice the compatibility of some game consoles and abandon some support for old game architecture, we can save more.
At an average cost of about fifty dollars, it’s actually a pretty good deal.”
"Yes, President, I think so too. Up to now, there are actually very few players of old games. Most players now prefer games with cooler graphics in this era. Those old games really shouldn't be continued.
