Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 154 Sweeping Everything!
At 11 o'clock in the morning on November 12th, Lujiazui welcomed media reporters, dealers and game players from all over the world.

"I don't know what products Wujiang Group will release today? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Yes, every time Wujiang Group holds a press conference, it is extraordinary. The "Wujiang Electronic Pet" released at the last press conference really surprised the audience.Nowadays, this product has become popular all over the world, and many students almost own one. Even adults can’t put it down, especially those women, who buy dozens of copies, which is incredible! "

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Zhao Ye walked to the stage unhurriedly.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the product launch conference held by Wujiang Group."

"I won't introduce myself, everyone must know me."

"Let's not talk nonsense, so as not to waste your precious time. Today, Wujiang Group will release an arcade product! However, Wujiang Arcade is somewhat different from other arcades, mainly in two aspects."

"First, the performance of Borderless Arcade is superior, the sound quality is superior, and the game screen is more gorgeous;"

"Secondly, the Borderless Arcade has a multi-card slot function. Simply put, multiple game cartridges can be inserted into the Borderless Arcade, and players can change games by pressing the buttons."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience were surprised.

Some dealers' eyes lit up, and they felt that the multi-card slot arcade machine seemed to be a good idea!

Zhao Ye introduced with a smile: "There should be a lot of arcade dealers here. The price of Wujiang arcade multi-card slots is not much different from that of other brands of arcades. Smart people must know how to choose!"

"Let me make an analogy. Someone wants to open a video game room. If he buys a borderless arcade machine, he can choose a smaller one. With the advantage of multiple card slots, he can ensure that the store has the most complete and popular games. The highest utilization rate."

"And if you want to buy arcade machines of other brands, then, if you want to ensure that the games in the store are complete, you must first have a large appearance, and second, you must purchase a large number of arcade machines, which is extremely costly. However, the average utilization rate of each arcade machine is also very low. Assuming that the average earning time of Wujiang arcade machines with multiple card slots is 12 hours, then the average earning time of arcade machines of other brands may be less than 8 hours.”

"The price of a traditional arcade machine is about [-] U.S. dollars. The Wujiang multi-card slot arcade machine is priced according to the number of card slots. A pair of two-card slots is [-] U.S. dollars, a three-card slot is [-] U.S. dollars, and a four-card slot is [-] U.S. dollars. Thousands of dollars."

"The game cartridges of our Borderless Arcade are priced at $[-] a piece. In other words, if you buy a traditional single-slot arcade machine, you can buy ten arcade game cartridges!"

Arcade game cartridges are different from home console game cartridges. They use more and better chips, and the game screens are stronger and more colorful.The cost is high, and the price is naturally high.However, the profit is also high.

"Wujiang Group will transplant hundreds of classic games on the "Qongqi Game Console" platform to Wujiang Arcade this time. The volume is large and there are many types of games. There are always games that players like. "

"In addition, in the first WCG World E-sports Competition, in addition to "Tetris" competing on the Gameboy platform, other shortlisted competitions, including "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters", "Samurai Soul", "Tekken" and so on will be On the borderless arcade platform..."

As soon as the words fell, the dealers in the audience changed their colors one after another.

Borderless arcade machines with multiple card slots are already ridiculously strong, and now the first WCG competition platform is designated as Borderless Arcade, so why should Borderless Arcade not explode?

All arcade room owners around the world will definitely purchase Borderless arcade machines.

……

After the press conference of Wujiang Group, there was a huge sensation in the arcade market.

Dealers from all over the world rushed to order Borderless multi-slot arcade machines and exclusive game cartridges.

Players heard that WCG fighting games will be held on arcades, and many of them were not happy at once.

"Brothers, we bought the "Qongqi Game Console" and Gameboy, and practiced on these two platforms for a long time. Now Wujiang Group says that they will not compete on these two platforms. Isn't it a waste of our practice? "

"Yeah, let's go to Wujiang Group to reason now!"

"..."

In the evening of the next day, a group of players came to the door of Wujiang Company and asked Wujiang Group for an explanation.

Wang Jizhi heard the news and hurried to appease everyone.

He came to the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, the reason why Wujiang Group chose Wujiang Arcade as the competition platform is because playing games on it provides a better experience. Besides, everyone is on the same starting line, what are you afraid of?" ? There is still about a month, enough time for you to get used to Borderless Arcade. You might as well go to the arcade room to try it now, and you will know if I am lying, and it will definitely give you an extraordinary feeling!"

Everyone heard the words, gradually dispersed, and then flocked to the arcade room.

No one can escape the "Law of True Fragrance"!
Just now they clamored for Wujiang Group to ask for an explanation, but now they have become fans of Wujiang Arcade one by one.

"The screen of the Borderless arcade is so big, the picture is clear, and the colors are beautiful, it is really shocking! Sitting in front and playing games is simply an audio-visual enjoyment!"

"It's so cool to operate with a joystick, it's really exciting, and it's much more convenient than a gamepad."

"..."

Everyone praised it, and they were all addicted to it.

……

Borderless is the overlord in the game industry, and the arcade machines it launched are naturally easily sought after by the market.

Arcade rooms all over the world have taken the initiative to purchase.

After 10 days, Wujiang Group sold 40 arcade machines and 211 million exclusive arcade game cassettes.

Revenue is as high as $18 billion (arcade) + $8.44 million (game cartridges) = $26.44 billion.

The profit belonging to Wujiang Group is 50%. After all, the production cost is very low, and Wujiang arcade machines have been completely localized.

Other arcade brand companies will never have such a high profit, at most 30%.

……

Eight 90s, Internet cafes have not yet appeared, so the arcade room business is very hot!
The competition among arcade machines is naturally quite fierce.

Borderless Arcade was launched, and the arcade giant Sega was most affected.

Of course, the Sega arcade machine can also replace the game cartridge, but the staff needs to disassemble the arcade machine.

Players themselves cannot change games.

Therefore, players voted with their feet, and most of them went to play Borderless arcade games.

Especially in Japan and the United States, as long as you walk into the local arcade room, you can see that there are basically people sitting in front of the Wujiang arcade, playing games.

The birth of Borderless Arcade has almost rewritten the pattern of the global arcade market.

Sweeping the global arcade market, making the industry tremble.

Many arcade game development companies in Japan have decided to cut off the hardware department and concentrate on making games.For example, Capcom, Konami, SNK and other companies...

In just a few days, companies such as Capcom, Konami, and SNK have announced cooperation with Wujiang Group to release their own games on the Wujiang arcade platform.

These companies are well-known game companies in Japan, and they also release games on the "Qongqi Game Console" and Gameboy platforms, and they are well aware of the horror of the Wujiang Group.

Rather than confrontation, it is better to cooperate.

With the Borderless arcade platform, they can also publish arcade games.

Cut off the hardware development department, reduce various expenses, travel lightly, and make more profits!
Nintendo is unwilling to cooperate because it is a sworn enemy with Wujiang Group.

Sega not only makes arcade machines, but also develops home consoles. In the Japanese game market, it has always been the third child. However, people only see the boss fighting with the second child, and no one cares about who the third child is.

Sega is embarrassed, but it happens to be ambitious.

It was originally in the arcade field, it was a giant.But the Wujiang Group came, and a large number of game companies around the world praised the Wujiang Group and cooperated with the Wujiang Group one after another.Sega was about to cry.

This arcade supremacy, how to say it is gone...
