Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 290

In the two-player mode, Han Xiaowei and Nie Tian each held half of the Joy-Con handles. When they got tired midway through the game, they also switched to the single-player mode, where one played and the other watched while eating snacks.

At first, everyone was curious about how to control a person and a hat at the same time in single-player mode. However, when they saw Nie Tian holding the controller vertically in one hand, they shouted "666, there is such an operation."

What's even more amazing is that different hand movements are used to achieve operations such as rolling and throwing hats. Whether you are playing mobile games or PC games, who would have thought that you can perform such cool operations in games.

Just the act of throwing out the hat with a flick of the wrist has attracted many people to the idea of ​​​​falling into the trap. At this time, it is no longer important to discuss the necessity of such an operation. What is important is that it is cool and that's it.

When playing games, isn't it just to look cool, to show off, and to have fun?

On July 7st, Sunshine and "Super Mario Odyssey" were released at the same time. Players can either buy them separately or buy a package that combines the console and the game. No need to think about it, the package is of course more cost-effective than buying it separately.

The single selling price of sunshine is 2699, the single selling price of Xbox is 199, the single selling price of "Super Mario Odyssey" cartridge is 288, the package price of sunshine and Xbox is 2799, the package price of sunshine and "Super Mario Odyssey" is 2888, the package price of three items is 2999.

Up to now, "Super Mario Odyssey" can be regarded as the most expensive one among all Chuxin's games since its launch.

It's not that Gu Feng has forgotten his original intention, it's just that although in-app purchases are not impossible for console games, the bulk of the income still comes from the moment the cartridges are sold.

Generally speaking, stand-alone games are not very good at adding messy in-app purchases in the game. Firstly, the food is not good-looking, and secondly, it is a stand-alone game. No matter how you play, it is mostly just to satisfy your own sense of accomplishment and vanity. If you can't show off to your friends, it's a bit boring, so many times the in-app purchases of stand-alone games that players see are often new DLCs.

As for online games, it is a bit difficult and even a bit whimsical to compare online games in console games with PC, mobile games and even VR.

A player has spent money to buy a console, a mouse, and a game cartridge. In total, it is already an investment of two or three thousand. It seems that two or three thousand has been spent. A few yuan in in-app purchases can cost dozens of yuan. It's not stingy, but the fact is that after the player has already thought that he has bought out all the content of the game, suddenly telling him that you have to spend a few dollars to purchase something in-game does feel like forcing someone to eat a fly. nausea.

Therefore, Gu Feng hopes to take a good start for console games from the beginning, and try his best to make most of the future console games a buy-out system without in-app purchases.

To achieve this, the buyout price naturally cannot be set too low. The original intention is to provide a price that makes players feel conscience in mobile games, client games and even VR.

One of the main reasons is that there are enough of these games. Just like all supermarkets in a city sell Assam for 4 yuan, and only one supermarket sells it for 2 yuan, it will not have any impact on the market at all.There are many ways to make money from these three games. To say the least, even if the original low price really affects others, they can make money back through many other forms, or players or advertisers or others...

Of course, console games can't do this at the moment. If Gu Feng really sells Mario too cheaply, such as 99, he doesn't care, but how can latecomers enter the market?Follow this price?Their time cost is much higher than that of Gu Feng, and Gu Feng is confident that he can make small profits but quick turnover, but they do not have the confidence.The only way to sell it at this price is to add some more in-app purchases, but in this case, the trend of console games is likely to be somewhat contrary to Gu Feng's expectations.

But if you don't sell it at this price, if you sell it for three to five hundred, you may die even worse. When the player says, "The game is not as good as the original intention, but the appetite is bigger than the original intention, it's awesome" can directly choke people to death.

Therefore, in order for the console to have a relatively good ecosystem in the future, Gu Feng set such a price that is neither too high nor too low. Players will not think it is too expensive, and the producers will not feel that there is no money to make.

Most players choose the package that comes with sunshine plus games. A small number of players choose the package with three products, and very few purchase one of them separately.

There is no way, although some people may have bought a console before, but who makes "Super Mario Odyssey" exclusive to Sunshine? These two are tied together, and those who have a console at home have to buy a new one if they want to play games. It is impossible to just buy a console or just a game, so naturally this situation arises.

Lu Ye and Gu Feng are both very concerned about the sales of their respective products. Their concerns are not much different. They are all related to the console game market. The only difference is that Lu Ye wants to confirm whether there are any console games. market, and what Gu Feng wants to confirm is how big the market is for console games. One focuses on the present, and the other plans for the future.

It cannot be said that Lu Ye's vision is worse than Gu Feng's. This is purely a difference in vision and has nothing to do with foresight.

The result was satisfactory to both of them, within Gu Feng's expectations, but beyond Lu Ye's expectations.

The first batch of 80 units of sunshine launched in advance was sold out in less than five hours.

This result is undoubtedly gratifying for Lu Ye, but it also brings him real happiness troubles.

As the leader in the domestic Internet hardware industry, Jiuzhou really wants to schedule its assembly line to produce a product at full capacity. How can its production capacity be so small?

The reason why the production capacity was controlled in advance was because Lu Ye knew very well in his heart that at least [-]% of the sales of Sunshine depended on how attractive the game Chuxin was escorting it.

In fact, if it weren't for the word-of-mouth accumulated from the original intention that gave them a lot of confidence, if it wasn't for seeing Gu Feng's confident appearance when discussing cooperation with Gu Feng, the first batch would not even have this number.

After all, these are things that actually cost more than a thousand units. If it really overturns, no matter how pitiful you cry, it will only end up in your hands. Although with Kyushu's current background, this loss will only make people feel a little painful at most. , It won’t have much impact, but without such caution when it comes to hardware, Jiuzhou would not be where it is today.

5 units in 80 hours. Of course, Lu knew what this meant. He held an emergency meeting as soon as he received the news. After the meeting, Sunshine's production line was no longer limited. up and running.
