I want to make a game

Recently, all the game reports from around the world are from Akihabara 12 Hours, magazines, newspapers, and even TV programs.

"The king of the third party, the Han Dynasty!"

"Compared with the battles of the first party, the third party is obviously more like the Warring States Period, Capcom, Konami, SNK... They are all big names, but now, the ruler of the Warring States Period has appeared, and it is Liu Zhiyuan

of the Han Dynasty."

"A record night for gaming, Heroes of Might and Magic and Super Mario 3."

"The birth of two super monsters."

"..."

Although in the eyes of gamers, Might and Magic has been crushed by Super Mario 3, people in the industry know very well that Might and Magic won not by winning 1 box or 2 boxes, but by more than 80,000 yuan.

In the past, when a game was first launched, it was considered a hit if it sold 80,000 boxes. In fact, many games only sold tens of thousands of boxes from release to second-generation release.

Rendang seemed to have easily crushed the magic gate, but the third party had already begun to cause chaos.

"Hirashi Yamauchi has made a new move."

Tsujimoto Kenzo took the report from his secretary and after reading it, he told the people in the room a piece of news that surprised them.

"Minomi Arakawa has been dismissed from all positions."

Nakamura Masaya took a sip of tea.

"Someone has to be responsible, right? It's just a pity, the Wolf of North America."

Miyamoto Masashi smiled.

"What are we doing here lamenting Minoru Arakawa? President Ohga, what are you going to do?"

Tsujimoto Kenzo sneered and took out a contract.

"This is the contract between Rendo and Capcom. There is still one year left. One of the clauses is that they are not allowed to develop any games for other platforms. The liquidated damages are 50 million US dollars. Capcom will pay half of this money. President Dahe's

Sony pays half.”

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

"How did you decide so quickly that you were going to side with Sony? They don't even have a console. 50 million is not a lot of money. If Sony fails to succeed, Capcom will have trouble adjusting in the future."

Miyamoto Masashi didn't know about the existence of dancing machines, and Capcom was not the most oppressed third party. He didn't understand why Tsujimoto Ken made the decision so quickly.

Nakamura Masaya snorted.

"With a market worth tens of billions of dollars, President Tsujimoto will naturally not hesitate. Even if Sony fails in the future, this huge sum of money can keep Capcom alive."

History has changed, and Capcom has become the next two heavyweight third parties to officially defect from the Sumdo lineup.

“What tens-billion-dollar market?”

Nakamura Masaya told everyone in the room about the dance machine. At this time, Tsujimoto Kenzo was shrouded in several jealous eyes.

They all want to leave Rendo, but they dare not make such a decision easily. Even if Sony takes the lead, Capcom has already obtained a game worth tens of billions of dollars before leaving Rendo. How can this make them

Not jealous.

"President Liu, quickly, please sit down."

Liu Zhiyuan rested for a night, and walked directly into Norio Ohga's office from Sony's main entrance. He believed that his move would be placed on the desks of Hiroshi Yamauchi and Hayao Nakayama.

"President Dahe, are you ready?"

Liu Zhiyuan went straight to the topic as soon as he entered the door. Time was too tight. He realized that he had made a mistake before and he should not have waited for the MD to be released.

I have never experienced a big event before. I have no experience at all in this kind of layout that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. There are many opportunities to compete with Hiroshi Yamauchi on the same stage. There is no need to do it at this time. It is already October 23rd.

The first batch of test units for his handheld console have just been produced, and there are less than 6 months until the GB release, which is so stressful.

Handheld consoles cannot be built out of thin air just by being creative. Although he has already negotiated with the manufacturers of various electronic components, he doesn't have enough money!

China gave Qi Zhenguo 50 million. Once construction started, it would be a gold-eating beast. It cost 100 million to acquire the PC-E production line, which offset the money from selling Might and Magic.

All the money left before was spent on the technology of the handheld console and MD, leaving only tens of millions of dollars, which is not enough to pay for the materials of the handheld console.

The sales volume of the first generation GAMEBOY was 118 million. This number was the sales volume in just 2 years, so it had to stock at least 20 million units before the GB was released.

Otherwise, all his painstaking efforts in planning would be advantageous to Rentang. Once Yamauchi Pu knew that the Han Dynasty had insufficient inventory, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Even if Elf has an advantage over GB, it will all be in vain if there is no goods. The historical selling price of GB is Japanese currency, and the exchange rate in 1989 was 120 Japanese currency per US dollar.

The price of GB is about 125 US dollars. He doesn't know how much it costs, but it is definitely not higher than the elf.

Before he made the Genie, he was already prepared that the handheld console would not make any money. But when the finished product came out, the cost of a Genie was only over 20 US dollars. The handheld console was indeed the most profitable console. A GB Rentang would make at least 100 U.S. dollars.

of gross profit.

He will not let the price of the elves exceed $100. This is a critical moment to seize the market. The more people who hold elves, the more stable the Han Dynasty will be.

He has cooperated with some electronics factories in China. The PC-E production line only produces game cartridges. Some components of the handheld console and cartridges are produced by Huaxia, and the final assembly of the handheld console is also completed in China.

Although this saves a lot of costs,...

20 million units will cost about US$500 million, as well as supporting game cartridges, promotion fees, other manual warehouses and other miscellaneous expenses, starting at US$1 billion.

There was no one to help him pay for this money, so the profits from the dance machine had to be obtained immediately.

"Everything is ready. World-renowned hip-hop masters, SAM, PETE, TonyGOGO, etc. will become the judges of this DDR competition."

Norio Ohga gave Liu Zhiyuan a bunch of names.

"Michigan Stadium will be the venue for this DDR final. At the same time, Japan, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom will set up 5 audition venues in each country."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded after listening to it. He was not familiar with hip-hop, but as long as these judges had charisma, it would be enough.

"Then let's get started. In one week, I want to let the world know about the existence of the dance machine! On November 1st, the dance machine will be officially released. On December 1st, DDR will start auditions, and the finals will begin half a month later. Get ready.

Did you make the world dance? President Dahe."

Norio Ohga suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled.

"Forty million US dollars in promotional expenses, simultaneous live broadcast on all well-known international TV stations, talented planning and an unprecedented game, I am ready to start our new era."

Liu Zhiyuan secretly thought in his heart, this is my new era and your grave.

"President Dahe please be on time for the first payment of the dance machine in December."

The dance machine sells for US$30,000, and the cost is less than US$10,000. Capcom gets a net profit of US$5,000 from each unit, he gets US$10,000, and the rest goes to Sony.

Capcom provides hardware technology, and it provides software technology and publicity. Because Sony only provides channels and in order to establish its flag in front of all third parties, all expenses such as publicity fees are paid by Sony.
