Chapter 1874 You'll Lose so Much Money
Chapter 1874 You will lose money
Price! No matter what it is, whether it is good or bad, as a consumer, the most important thing is the price.
Unchanged!
"How much will this powerful handheld game console sell for, which is almost stronger than most of the current ones?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"Who knows? Who knows how much it sells for such a powerful handheld game console. 'NDS' sells for Japanese yen (about RMB), 'PSP' sells for slightly more expensive Japanese yen (about RMB), this 'Dream' is a hundred times more powerful than 'NDS' and dozens of times more powerful than 'PSP'. According to the performance-price ratio, it must be sold for Japanese yen!" A senior game player speculated.
30,000 yen! Hearing this number, many players around took a deep breath. Japan is indeed a developed country, but spending 30,000 yen to buy a game console is still an unbearable huge number for most players. In particular, this game console costs so much money, so what about buying games? There is no piracy in Japan, and a game disc costs at least thousands of yen, and at most thousands of yen. On average, a player plays about 16 games, which is another huge expense.
30,000 yen is absolutely unaffordable!
"Hmph, don't think that a high-end handheld game console will definitely occupy the market. This is not all about performance. What's important is that it meets the consumption level of players." Iwata sneered.
Howard also nodded repeatedly. Lin Feng's handheld game console is indeed powerful, almost comparable to mainstream computers on the market, but such powerful hardware performance will also bring about a huge increase in price. This is the law of conservation of mass in physics.
If you want to use the same set of tools that conquered the personal computer industry to play handheld games, you are totally wrong. If you don't do it well, Lin Feng will lose a lot this time. - Howard said inwardly.
As for Barrett, the president of "Intel", who had just finished the meeting, he also turned his attention back to the online video. He wanted to use this to estimate how much the final dual-core processor of "Second World" would sell for, so that "Intel" could prescribe the right solution.
How much? - The world held its breath.
Lin Feng showed his signature smile. Then the screen showed big words——.
? ——Everyone was stunned. What unit is this? Is it RMB or USD?
"Japanese Yen! Dream is only sold in Japanese Yen worldwide!" Lin Feng said.
Boom! This is really going to blow up! Such a powerful console,
only sold in Japanese Yen worldwide? Isn't this the same as "PSP" performance! But its performance is dozens of times better than that. Although the screen is slightly smaller, the resolution is higher, and the picture quality is naturally better.
Oh my God, this is not a dream! ——The scene is crazy. The otakus around looked at each other, pinched their faces, and after making sure that they were not dreaming and did not hear wrong, they raised their arms and cheered loudly.
Japanese Yen can buy such a powerful handheld game console. No matter how the game is, just for the performance of this handheld game console, the money is worth it. Dual-core, retina screen, sliding cover, these most advanced popular elements in the world are actually integrated together and sold in Japanese Yen. Oh my God, they are so happy.
The players on the scene were boiling, but Iwata and Howard, who were hiding in the dark, were terrified. Such a low price, this is too outrageous. The same price, dozens of times superior performance, what do you think the players will choose? Even a pig would know how to choose.
"Iwata, it seems that we are in trouble this time." Howard's face was full of worry. If the "Dream" is really sold at the yen price, Howard doesn't know whether the "nds" will be reduced in price. But the "psp" must be reduced in price. Otherwise, who will buy it!
"Humph, that may not be the case!" Iwata sneered several times.
"What do you mean?" Howard was stunned.
"Humph, when you Sony sold the "ps2" before, didn't you adopt a dumping strategy below cost price! The "x" of "Microsoft" is different. Lin Feng obviously also adopted this dumping strategy. After occupying the market, you can use game software to charge for money. Or you can lose money and make a profit, just like "Microsoft." "Satoru Iwata said.
Howard was thoughtful, but didn't say anything, waiting for Iwata to finish his next words.
"Unfortunately, Lin Feng is wrong about one thing, that is, this is the handheld market, not the console market. There is still a difference between the two. If you use the console management system to operate the handheld, it would be a big mistake. Especially Lin Feng, this time he used the powerful function to occupy the market, which is even more wrong." Iwata said sarcastically.
"According to Lin Feng's powerful function, if it is only sold in Japanese yen, it will definitely lose money, and the loss will be a lot. It will definitely be snapped up when it goes on the market. How much do you think it will sell?" Iwata asked Howard.
"Conservatively estimated, it should be able to create more than one million units per week." Howard thought about it and boldly put forward a data. This data has passed "psp" and "nds".
"You underestimate the appeal of this dual-core handheld. I'm afraid that the global sales volume may exceed 10 million this week." Iwata sighed.
What! Breaking 10 million? ——Howard's eyes widened, is it so exaggerated?
"No doubt, this is definitely true. As for the reason, I won't tell you. If it breaks 10 million per week, then the sales volume in a month will be about 100 million, and 100 million in a year." Iwata analyzed calmly.
"Oh my God! Isn't this handheld market completely occupied by Lin Feng!" Howard exclaimed.
"Occupy? Indeed, on the surface it is occupied. But in fact, he loses money for every unit he sells. I estimate that he loses at least 10,000 yen for each unit, so 100 million units is 1 trillion yen, which is about 100 million US dollars. Yes, Lin Feng is rich, but 100 million US dollars is probably enough for him to drink a pot. Moreover, this is only the loss from selling handheld game consoles. It also has to take into account other research departments and advertising. I am afraid that it is normal to lose 100 million US dollars conservatively. If a company continues to lose money like this, even if Lin Feng is rich, his employees will worry that the company will not last long. When the morale is low, Lin Feng will suffer. Don't make wedding clothes for others." Iwata said sarcastically.
100 million US dollars! Even the wealthy "Microsoft" has to consider it carefully.
"If Lin Feng wants to maintain the company's operation, he has only two ways to recover the losses. First, Lin Feng injects a huge amount of money, more than 100 million US dollars, so that the company can be stabilized. The second is to find a way to make money from game software. There are two ways to make money from game software. One is to raise the entry threshold of game manufacturers; the other is to open games independently. These two methods, haha, I don't think they will work. Raising the entry threshold of game manufacturers is digging his own grave. Opening games independently, Lin Feng will have a few game groups and can open a few games. Without games, players will not buy it. After all, the main function of handheld game consoles is to play games! Without games, it is like a body without a soul. So, Lin Feng, sell it, the cheaper the better, I want to see how you end up!" Iwata sneered.
After hearing Iwata's analysis, Howard thought about it carefully, and it was true. After thinking about this, he had nothing to worry about. Of course, the price of "psp" will still drop accordingly, and the yen is a good number.
The two sorted out their feelings and watched Lin Feng's show with a mood of watching a show.
"Everyone, that's right, it's Japanese yen. This handheld game console with the strongest skills in history is only sold for Japanese yen!" Lin Feng gestured.
There was a cheer at the scene.
"Of course, all players who buy 'Dream' this week will also enjoy the lucky gift package we send!" Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
Lucky gift package? ——Japanese players were stunned.
At this moment, Chinese players began to look forward to it. Lin Feng has always been known for his generosity towards players, and the gift packages he mentioned are usually quoted.
"Players who buy 'Dream' this week will receive a set of the complete collection of "Slam Dunk National Competition" in all 'Dream' handheld games!" Lin Feng said the first gift.
The whole audience was boiling! No, comic fans around the world were boiling!
If "Slam Dunk National Competition" was broadcast on TV, it would be one episode a day, which would be painful to watch. If it was one episode a week, it would be painful for both of you. And now it is included in "Dream", which is definitely the best gift.
"The second gift is an 8GB card for each player. The market price of this card is about 100 yen!" Lin Feng said, holding a memory card between his index and middle fingers.
Hiss! ——Everyone took a few deep breaths. When introducing the functions of the "Dream" handheld console just now, the memory card was not introduced. Everyone has been wondering how many GB memory cards this "Dream" supports. According to the functions of the "Dream", the memory card cannot be too small. As a result, it is now proved that the "Dream" supports at least 8GB memory cards, and it is given to them for free.
Excited! This way all players can save a lot of money.
Change of color! Iwata and Howard's faces changed again. If Lin Feng does this, it will be useless for the two companies to reduce prices. Even if they reduce all prices, there is a limit. It is impossible for "NDS" to sell in yen and "PSP" to sell in yen. That is almost the same price as a game.
Baka, you will lose money sooner or later! I want to see how you die! ——Iwata cursed viciously in his heart.
"Gift three, all players can download videos and MP3s for free through our official website, and download other resources at a low price." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Applause! This really deserves applause. Compared with the PSP's blocking of videos, the "Dream" handheld is really awesome!
**, if you do this, you will be sued to death sooner or later! ——Howard's eyes are blazing. If Lin Feng does this, they will almost have no way to survive.
But they are still waiting. They want to see how Lin Feng is going to make money! In addition, they want to see what the "Dream" game is. If the game is too bad, then the player might as well buy an MP5, which is much more cost-effective than buying the "Dream".
