One day has passed since the SE launch.
Slover13's excellent performance and high-quality promotional videos have successfully attracted many players to SE.
The sales volume on the first day exceeded 100,000+, and the cassette/digital version of "Legend of Gilariel Continent" priced at 699 copies also sold a similar number.
Even if the profit of the handheld console is only 100 or 200 yuan, plus the sales volume of the escort game is 100,000+.
All of this made SE's sales exceed the 100 million mark on the first day!
Moreover.
The more important meaning is.
This established SE's monopoly status in the handheld field.
As long as my machine is approved by users, will I still worry about not receiving protection fees from other game manufacturers in the future?
I just want to ask if your factory wants to make money in the handheld area where there are many stupid people and lots of money?
Yes I do?
Okay, let’s pay the channel fee for our SE exclusive end first.
To celebrate the great success of the first day.
SE headquarters held a celebration banquet.
A festive banner was raised, which read, 'Congratulations to Slover for selling 100,000 copies on the 13th, ushering in a new era of handheld consoles! '
As the small fireworks and cannons exploded all over the sky, glasses of champagne collided with each other, making a crisp sound of 'ding-dong'.
Surrounded by everyone, Hattori Hongyi accepted interviews from reporters who were also invited to the celebration banquet.
When asked, "What do you think about the fact that China's number one game company will hold a handheld console conference in a few days?"
Hattori Hongyi's face was red and he smiled a little drunkenly.
"Ma'am, this is the first time I've heard of the company Ready Player One from you."
"The younger generations also want to get a share of the handheld gaming industry, which is of course a good thing."
"But my suggestion is that young people should first learn to be calm and not do reckless things or rude actions that contradict their seniors."
"Otherwise, we will end up with a very ugly end."
Although he was smiling, his words were full of arrogance and the attitude of an elder scolding a younger one.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hattori Hongyoshi has naturally heard of Ready Player One.
I also know what happened between Yinhui and the number one player in China.
Otherwise, according to SE's previous practice, the performance of Slover13 cannot be achieved until it is at least iterated to Slover20.
And soon, Hattori Hongyi's critical comments spread quickly, causing quite a stir in the entire East Asian gaming circle.
However, given the huge success of the SE launch.
The reviews among East Asian gamers are almost overwhelmingly in favor of SE.
"I feel like Slover13 is a little too strong, and the technical ability of the number one player can't match it at all!"
"President Hattori must be secretly upset at home. If he had known it was so popular, he wouldn't have released such a good model. He would have waited for me to iterate a few more times/laughs"
"Thank you to Ready Player One for allowing us to play Slover 13! If it weren't for Ready Player One, we would still be playing the upgraded version of Generation 12, right?"
"If you look at it from this perspective, it seems that the number one player also plays a role?"
"I can only say that SE takes the number one player too seriously! It's too much force!"
"What are you talking about? The number one player hasn't held a press conference yet, so why are you talking bad news? Maybe they have more stuff?/wwwww"
"You might as well believe that I am Oda Nobunaga."
…
At this time, Ke Jin was at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
But there was no disturbance.
He even placed an order for a Slover13+ "Legend of Gilariel Continent" bundle.
The two plus international taxes cost almost 7,000 yuan.
"I have to say, it's really easy to make money from these players, but if I'm a bit evil..." Thanks to the smooth international air transportation, Kejin got the packaging box the next day. Looking at the expensive price, Kejin couldn't help but sigh.
If you are arrogant and double or even raise the price of each game several times, I am afraid that you will not be able to talk about the Yinhui branch now.
My company has already moved to Neon, and the living environment of the SE headquarters may be squeezed.
After all, the Blue Star game market three years ago was full of shit.
You don’t even need to carry a pot of ribs yourself.
A plate of mapo tofu can conquer the players, and then sell it at an expensive price. A group of Blue Star players who have been eating the crumbs will also come to pay the bill.
However, that would go against his own ideals and was something Ke Jin despised.
Shaking his head, he threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Ke Jin started to unpack the box.
The moment Slover13 got it, Ke Jin frowned slightly.
Just one word.
Shen.
It's like holding two pieces and turning around.
Although the screen size is large, the hand feel is too heavy, which makes players' arms feel sore when lying on the bed and playing with it, and back pain when lying on their stomach while playing.
As for sitting up...
Now that I'm sitting up the hell, why don't I turn on my damn computer and enjoy the higher specs?
"This positioning... it's a good thing they figured it out, so it's hard to bully other handheld console manufacturers on the market, right?"
Ke Jin shook his head and inserted the cassette of "Legend of Gilariel Continent".
As an exclusive escort for Slover13.
If this "Gilariel" is indeed a god among gods, it will make players buy it.
After all, looking back at Lao Ren in his previous life, the machine configuration of 720P+30 frames, plus tax, could be sold for 2,500 yuan.
People just dare to sell it, and players just have to buy it. Zelda Launcher is not called for nothing.
It has sold 120 million units in six years, and I can’t accept it.
only.
After Ke Jin tried it for half an hour.
Just let it go.
The expression on his face gradually changed from 'I didn't expect Blue Star's game manufacturers to develop games that look good, it's pretty good' to 'Mobile phone for the elderly in the subway'
No...this is nothing...
When he first watched the promotional video, Ke Jin even thought that SE could create an "open world" concept that did not exist on Blue Star.
After entering the game, I took a look.
Damn, isn’t this still a linear narrative?
The mountains in the distance and the sea in the distance are all for players to take a look at...
Even the opening prologue takes place in the forest.
The forest is quite large at first glance, but the range of activities that players can move is extremely limited. If you take a few steps, you will encounter an air wall.
As for the ACT element in this ARPG.
Ke Jin tried to control the character and kill monsters in the forest.
He found that it was particularly difficult to fight in a head-on battle...
But there is a gameplay that can help players kill enemies quickly.
That is, squat down, then quietly touch the enemy's back, throw out a dagger from your sleeve, pierce the wild monster's heart, and kill it with one hit!
"Fuck you..."
Assassin's Creed: Gilaliel, right?
Although the game setting aspect is because property rights protection is not conducive to the development of games, game patents are basically a business method of the last century, and there is almost no concept of patents in the new century.
Otherwise, if your family launches a Shenglong attack, apply for a patent. If his family launches the meat pigeon gameplay, no one else can do it. If they do, it will be an infringement. Then the juniors should stop playing games.
Therefore, even if SE copied the assassination setting of its own "Ezio" and even copied the Hidden Blade, as long as the character modeling does not conflict and the plot does not steal, there is no way to appeal.
But……
Could you please be a little more careful...
You could just change your assassination method.
But think about it, "Ezio" has been recognized by the Blue Star market after its release, and it is praised as the pioneering assassination stealth game.
It can barely be said that people follow the gourd's example.
After all, the cost of trial and error is saved.
But the game's problems don't end there.
As SE's first 3D trial game, "Gilariel" has cut off in-app purchases and bought everything for 699.
The character modeling is also exquisite and delicate. Although players are prohibited from entering the distant scenery, it is still enjoyable to watch.
The assassination gameplay is not the core of the entire game. It can only be used when the player is weak at the beginning. After the weapons are upgraded later, each genre also has its own exclusive weapons and skills.
It’s a linear narrative, with some plot.
Everything is fine.
"But it's just not fun..." Ke Jin frowned.
All the money is really spent on 3D.
The fighting details and combat accuracy are all well polished.
But there was absolutely no way for Ke Jin to immerse himself in the experience.
In the final analysis, after Ke Jin bit the bullet and played for another hour or two, he believed that the biggest problem with this game lies in the repetitive routine mode.
In the first level, the player takes on the task of helping a female elf expel the dwarf invasion.
Then there was beating, killing, killing.
Upgrade weapons, upgrade skills.
In the second level, the player enters the human city-state and begins to take on the task of resisting the invasion of orcs.
Continue to fight and kill the orcs.
The third level, the fourth level...
We have reached the fifth level and arrived at the Dragon Volcano.
I'm still taking similar quests, and then killing monsters to level up.
After playing, Ke Jin even felt a little numb.
At this time, looking back at the framework of linear games, which is originally designed to help players establish the core storyline and improve the rhythm, it is more like a cage that traps players in it.
Kejin searched the Internet.
It was found that on some community platforms, a small number of players began to make similar voices.
"Am I the only one who feels a little bored? I feel tired after playing for about two hours...my hands are tired and my heart is tired."
"This game is not as fun as it looks in the promotional video."
"Three years ago, your game sold for 699. I would have said it was awesome. But after I saw the 198 "Assassin's Creed" and the same-priced "BioShock", I can only say that RNM refunds the money! The gameplay is not as good as Assassin's Creed is not as deep as "Infinite" in terms of plot depth. Are you selling Niu Mo 699?"
However, wait until Kejin refreshes again.
Only to find that all these comments have disappeared.
All that's left is.
"What the fuck? This picture is really awesome! It is indeed produced by a major SE company!"
"The female elf's legs are so pretty! I'm sorry, I'm going to get a pack of tissues!"
"Wow! The battle on the dragon volcano is so cool! The picture quality and details are all perfect. This game costs 699? How do game manufacturers make money?"
"There are so many races to choose from! It perfectly satisfies my fantasy of a Western fantasy 3D game! SE is the best!"
Ke Jin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Originally, he was still thinking about it.
If SE's "Gilariel" is really high-quality this time, it can even be compared with their previous "Final Fantasy" series and "NieR: Automata".
It’s not like I can’t postpone the release date of Switch.
Let him maximize the exposure.
after all.
The IP you have on hand is here, so you don’t have to worry about making no money in the future.
Giving peer manufacturers a way to survive can better promote the development of the game industry.
But for a game of this quality, you still want to make money from the handheld console, selling it for 699, and you also want to control and evaluate players in China.
Then I have to torture you at the press conference!
Even compared to the previous plan, it has a higher level of appearance!
After thinking about it, Ke Jin took out his mobile phone and called Ke Yu.
"Yubao, come to the company after class later. We will shoot a promotional video and you will be the heroine."
————
Time flies.
Soon, a new week begins.
In the past week, the SE press conference has attracted attention from the outside world.
Its Slover13 sales also reached a terrifying 500,000+ in just one week!
Crazy about 500 million in turnover.
What's more, there are other games gradually coming to Slover13 within a week.
This wave of SE can be described as making a lot of money, and the future is bright.
The discussion of Ready Player One has gradually become quieter over the past week.
Many people don’t even bother to pay attention to the upcoming conference.
After all, SE Zhuyu is in front, and no matter what you do as the number one player, there is no way you can replicate such a hot scene.
But what is coming will always come.
A week later, it was also eight o'clock in the evening.
The Ready Player One press conference is finally here!
However, at the press conference that has not yet officially started, not even 50% of the indoor venue, which can accommodate 3,000 people, is located in the city's largest gaming venue in Jianglin.
There are not too many barrages on major live broadcast platforms.
Compared with SE, it is more than one order of magnitude worse.
"If I remember correctly, the popularity of SE's all-platform live broadcast last week exceeded 50 million, right?" Ling Zhetao still called a group of senior executives to cast the live broadcast in a small conference room.
It doesn’t matter whether outsiders pay attention or not. They, the insiders, still have to see what they should.
"Well, the peak seems to have reached 65 million views, and the number of real-time viewers exceeded 200,000... It's hard to imagine the popularity that a press conference can bring."
"The number one player's current live broadcast room popularity on all platforms is only 5 million. Can the peak peak reach 30 million?" At the same time, Jia Kuiqian also rushed to the conference room at the same time. After taking a look at the popularity, he looked at his home of senior executives.
"Hard to say……"
"This wave was indeed preempted by SE and took too many opportunities."
Although the popularity of the live broadcast room does not represent everything.
But it's more like a microcosm of outside reaction.
If there are a lot of people watching the live broadcast in real time, more people will know about it.
"He really dares to hold a press conference on time?" At the SE headquarters, a group of senior executives were also watching the live broadcast in the conference room.
As a competing company in the field of handheld consoles, no matter how great our own advantages are, our opponents’ trump cards are about to be revealed, so we still have to give them a little respect.
But not much respect.
"Just bite the bullet. If the ticket bounces, he will look even stupider." Someone laughed.
"Even if it's on time, I'm curious, how much pressure does this guy have to put on to launch this conference?" Someone said.
"By the way, the president's words at the celebration banquet didn't seem to cause any reaction or counterattack from the top player."
"Why do you have the nerve to respond? You have already been frightened by Slover13. Any response will only make him more embarrassed at the press conference."
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. The press conference is about to begin. Give your opponents some respect." Hattori Hongyi, who was sitting, stopped the senior management's discussion with his voice, but he looked at the projection screen with a look in his eyes. With a hint of arrogance that cannot be hidden.
A dark horse in the Chinese gaming industry?
I want to see how far you can do it!
Soon, the lighting at the press conference dimmed, and the buzz on the scene also decreased.
The spotlight hit the stage as the curtain opened.
What puzzles everyone is.
The speaker for Ready Player One did not appear.
Not to mention Ke Jin, who represents the top player's golden signature.
Even the top executives within the company did not appear on stage.
Behind the opened curtain is just a large screen.
On the screen, Ready Player One's first game "Origin of Species" is slowly playing.
Then, the camera jumped to "Iwanna"
Then came "Goblin Pinball", "City Skylines", "Journey"...
In a quick flash, all games released by Ready Player One in the past three years are presented one by one.
It was not until the screen of the latest game "Teamfight Tactics" was presented three months ago.
Suddenly, a petite girl with a sweet and cute face, wearing JK clothes, black leather boots and white stockings, appeared on the big screen.
I saw her struggling to stretch out her hands, clenching her teeth, and pushing the entire screen of "Team Tactics" away with difficulty like pushing a box.
At this time, there was only a blank space and this pretty girl on the screen.
Soon, she stretched out her hand and pulled another piece of the picture, just like pulling the pulley door, with a 'snap' sound.
The new picture completely replaced the blank world and her figure, fitting perfectly with the screen.
All the games that had just flashed were quickly condensed and absorbed at this moment, and finally integrated into a compact game handheld machine.
The naming of Switch lite was also presented.
It seems to imply that other games previously released by Ready Player One will be ported to this handheld console called Switch.
When this moment arrived, it instantly caused a commotion in the audience, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also rolled rapidly.
"I agree! Isn't this the beauty girl of Ready Player One!"
"Xiaoyudi'er, right?"
"Yubao is so cute!"
"Drop it! All the games released before can be played on a handheld console, right? It's kind of interesting."
"It's coming, it's coming! The handheld console I have been waiting for is finally out! I haven't bought Slover 13 just because I want to see what surprises Gravograph can bring me."
"Don't let me down!"
The audience's buzz just started, but it quickly subsided.
Because everyone found out.
The screen of this game is only the size of a palm, and it seems to have no highlights?
In other words, it's too ordinary.
The overall shape is a square pencil box.
The left side is a joystick + four buttons, and the same is true for the right side.
And when the configuration is presented.
It's even more shocking.
Although it has the characteristics of 1K high-definition image quality + stable 30 frames.
However, the TOZHI 150-level processor it is equipped with is a product from 10 years ago. This configuration will definitely not be able to run 3D masterpieces.
Playing Number One Player's own game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", even setting it to the lowest image quality is enough.
I probably can only play a game like "Hollow Knight" that doesn't require too much configuration.
When playing "Stardew Valley" to the later stages of the game, as crops increase, there is a risk of burning out the processor.
"Ah this..."
"Well……"
"Um……"
A group of spectators at the scene were hesitant to speak.
But the barrage in the live broadcast room will not be soft-spoken.
"Ready Player One, are you really outrageous? Even a vintage phone from any era can be played up."
"Dongzhi's 150-level processor? It's a good thing he can dig it out. If this thing is implanted in the computer, it will freeze if you open a few more web pages..."
"The most important thing is that if he dares to sell it, it means he has a lot of inventory. Where this chip is wholesaled from, I can only say it is very mysterious..."
"Have you obtained their consent before using the chips that Dongzhi eliminated?"
"Performance aside, the manufacturing process alone is pretty mediocre...except for the horizontal version mode, there are some bright spots, but after the new SE handheld machine came out, the remaining bright spots disappeared."
"My evaluation is that it is not as good as Slover13."
At the same time, whether it is Tengjing or Netcom.
The senior executives in the conference room all looked at each other.
I don’t know what kind of trick Ready Player One is playing.
Why did you take out such a handheld device when you came up...
Even if it is a lite version, adjust the configuration upward according to this situation.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet expectations.
On the other hand, at the SE headquarters, a group of senior executives kept raising the corners of their mouths, and their sarcasm became more and more obvious.
"Normally speaking, we should first bring out the genuine product, and then add lite, plus, and pro versions based on the genuine product. It is suitable for many people."
"They released lite first. Does that mean they don't have any confidence in the genuine Switch? That's why they first used low specs to lower everyone's expectations, and then launched a genuine version with higher specs."
The employees were talking endlessly, and Hattori Hongyoshi also snorted and said: "Such a little trick is still used at the press conference. I really feel sad for Ready Player One."
“I also regret that I faced such an opponent and even released Slover13 in advance.”
At present, it seems that the number one player is not worthy of throwing out all the ultimate moves that he has hidden for a long time.
An opponent of this magnitude is simply not worthy of me...
Hattori Hongyi's words have not yet finished.
Suddenly, a red light hit his face, interrupting his thoughts.
To be precise.
The screen at the press conference was already covered in bright red.
What follows are two handle patterns outlined with simple lines, located in the center.
The two handles form a horizontal line, one lower and one higher.
And in the next moment.
"Click!"
A pleasant snapping sound sounded, attracting the attention of all the audience.
I saw that the originally unsymmetrical handle on the screen made a crisp sound and remained horizontal and parallel.
"Wait...could it be..." Hattori Hongyi stared at the screen as if he expected something.
As the red glow gradually fades away.
What appeared in front of everyone was a handheld console that was wider than the lite version, placed quietly on the display cabinet.
The exquisite design process makes it look smooth, and every detail has been carefully polished. Whether it is the texture of the shell or the layout of the buttons, it reflects humanized design thinking.
Wait until the brief exterior reveal shot.
Soon, the scene changes.
This time the scene is a warm private nest.
The girl who just left the scene once again broke into the screen. She was huddled on the sofa, holding a heavy handheld console that looked similar to Slover13, and was playing games happily.
However, after using it for a while, she shook her sore palms with some difficulty and put down the heavy handheld machine. Her white and tender palms were slightly red.
Then, she took the Switch from the table nearby.
In full view.
Hold the handles on both sides of the handheld device... in front of everyone.
Disassembled!
The moment the handle is removed.
The sound at the scene was explosive!
"ah???"
"What the hell???"
"No...this...this handle can be detached?"
The barrages in the live broadcast room began to roll crazily, and question marks floated across the screen.
"????"
"wtf? What did I see?"
"Wori, your arms will get tired after holding a handheld console for a long time, so Ready Player One just removed the weight of the entire screen? Only letting players hold the controller, this design concept... is amazing!"
"No wonder the little logo before the genuine Switch was shown made a 'click' sound. It turned out to be a sign that the controller is detachable."
"Hiss...this handheld device is quite interesting!"
"That's right! I told you, how could my Gravograph handheld be so mediocre?"
Not just the audience.
Even the major game manufacturers who watched the live broadcast showed a hint of interest in their eyes after seeing the scene where the controller was detachable.
Looking back at the SE headquarters, the smiles on the faces of the senior executives who had just been laughing at lite for being too mediocre suddenly froze on their faces.
Even Hattori Hongyi frowned slightly.
In terms of functionality, the Switch, which can free up the weight of the screen, has begun to take advantage.
"However, if this is the case, it will not threaten Slover13's status." Hattori Hongyi pursed his lips.
It's just a detachable handle. I never thought I could play like this before.
But since you have given us the inspiration, how big a deal will it be for us to make a pro in the future?
The problem is not serious.
At this time, the press conference was held.
The female player on the screen disassembled the Switch screen, opened the bracket behind the screen, and placed it on the table.
The weight reduction made her smile sweetly, and with the controller, she got back into the game.
As the scroll camera switched, some time passed.
The girl in the camera seems to be feeling a little tired.
He looked at the Switch screen, then rubbed his eyes.
It seems to imply that the screen is too small and makes you feel dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
She got up and walked to the table.
Looking at the thick handheld device with a larger screen that she had just placed aside.
But didn't choose it.
Instead, his fingertips passed over it and picked up the independent screen of the Switch.
After a few steps, he walked to the oversized LCD TV display and inserted the independent screen into a concave box.
Not only did the Switch pop up a charging prompt.
and.
The game screen is placed on a larger TV.
The girl smiled happily again, settled back on the sofa comfortably, held the controller and faced the big screen, and started a new round of gaming adventure.
When this set of shots appeared.
Another burst of exclamations came from the press conference.
"What the hell? Can you directly connect to the TV to cast the screen?"
"It can be charged while casting the screen. I'd like to give it a try... If you're a heavy gamer like me, I buy Switch. After playing until the battery runs out, plug it into the case and continue playing on the big screen while charging. Not only Can it relieve visual stress and provide alternate battery life?”
"Since a TV can do it, a computer should also do it, right?"
"I'm so excited about this feature that supports multiple device connections! I haven't bought Slover13 before because it feels too single. If I want to play exclusive but get tired of holding it, I have to put it down and take a rest. But now this Once the function appears, wouldn’t it be possible for me to take Switch with me when I go out, and when I come back from playing for a day, I can continue playing while lying on the sofa? Wow! I’m so excited!”
If we say, the function of the detachable handle also makes Hattori Hongyi feel that there is an opportunity.
So now, when the function of multi-device connection appears.
Hattori Hongyi has already felt the pressure.
This large external charging box is another heavy expense.
If you want to make a replica, if you follow Slover13's original design, you will be unable to make ends meet.
And it's obvious.
The bulky handheld console in the Switch promotional video was deliberately used by Ready Player One to disgust himself.
Directly draw out the comparison for you and let the audience see what the gap is!
A slap in the face!
But there was no room for refutation.
As soon as the two major functions are released, Slover13's position becomes increasingly embarrassing.
In the entire SE conference room, the senior executives were silent.
As if facing a formidable enemy, his expression became a little ugly.
"But it's not without a chance. If you want to defeat us at this level, there's still a lot to be desired." Hattori Hongyi snorted.
The design of Switch is indeed innovative, but that should be its entire design.
Detachable for attaching devices.
Then what? What other flowers can you play with?
It's a pity.
The development of the situation did not go as expected by Hattori Hongyi.
Next, Switch will show off another new and powerful feature!
Somatosensory mode!
In the lens of the screen, a brand new day.
The girl wearing a large T-shirt and cool hot pants twisted her waist left and right, stretched her hands behind her hands, and did a set of warm-up movements.
Connect the Swtich directly to the TV screen, take out a pair of small and exquisite handles, and attach a buckle with a rope to the cross-section slide rail of the handle.
Immediately, ropes were put on both wrists and tied tightly.
then.
In the display of a "Sports Mini Game" used for testing.
Basketball game.
She waved her arm gently, and without pressing any buttons, the basketball on the screen was gently tapped.
As she shook her arms harder, the basketball in the picture shot faster and faster.
Badminton game.
In the picture, a light badminton flies toward your face.
The girl raised her hand holding the handle high and suddenly swung her arms forward in the air!
"Buzz!"
The badminton ball in the picture also exploded towards the opponent like a cannonball!
As she kept switching games, table tennis, snooker, and even football.
It seems that everything can be done with this pair of small handles.
And when it comes to games previously released by Ready Player One.
Whether it's Hollow Knight's ability to jump with just a wave of your arms.
Or in "Eternal Calamity", you can throw out the hook by flicking your palm.
"Journey" can fly in the air by shaking the handle up and down continuously.
All fit perfectly.
The emergence of this function allows players to experience a new and alternative experience even when facing some games they have already played.
For some disabled people who are missing some fingers, the somatosensory mode allows them to better experience the fun of games that were previously out of reach.
After the demonstration of this feature is over.
The audience in the audience was already in deep shock. Everyone stared at the screen with wide eyes.
The popularity of live broadcast rooms on major platforms is also rising, and the barrages are pouring in like crazy.
"carve???"
"Damn it!! Why is Swtich's gold content still rising! Has his physical sense been exhausted?"
"Okay, okay! This is a handheld game, right?"
“Gotta dig it, I can’t even imagine how much fun Hollow Knight would be in somatosensory mode…”
"I'm really looking forward to the physical experience of "Eternal Life"."
"Don't think about it. Judging from the screen display, this should only be a light-sensitive device, which cannot restore the player's movements one-to-one. Even if "Eternal Calamity" is launched on Switch, it will probably rely more on button presses."
"It's okay to just throw a hook, it's cool enough! I flick my arm and the hook flies out. When matched with the huge projection screen of my TV, it feels like I'm really flying over the walls in the game!" "
In the SE conference room at this time.
The moment when the somatosensory setting is thrown out.
Hattori Hongyi's forehead had already begun to sweat.
His pupils shrank involuntarily, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Detachable handle, multi-port device connection, and motion sensing function.
Picking any one of these three is already a major innovation in the history of handheld console development.
Unexpectedly...
Switch combines all three!
Let alone ordinary players.
Even if it's me...when I see this handheld console.
To be honest, my eyes will light up.
But my current status does not allow me to praise my opponent's work.
Hattori Hongyi felt unprecedented pressure.
"It should be gone... If we stop here, we SE should... no, barely, can we still keep up?" Hattori Hongyi felt a little unsure.
I was full of confidence when I first saw the press conference, but now my confidence is shaky.
Who knows what I went through in these ten minutes...
And next.
Switch throws out two other functional designs.
It completely shattered Hattori Hongyi's confidence in Slover13.
The joy-con handle can not only be disassembled separately.
It even matches other scenes!
If players are looking for a better feel, they can insert it into the controller holder launched by Ready Player One and transform it into a traditional controller.
If players are pursuing an arcade experience, they can also place it in a small joystick box that comes with Ready Player One and put it on a larger shell corresponding to its matching buttons, allowing players to relive the arcade machines of the late 1980s at home. Flavor.
What’s even more amazing is that it can even form an army by itself!
A set of joy-cons can be used as two independent small controllers for two players to play alone!
As a short-term gaming experience when traveling with friends or entertaining guests at home, two small joy-cons are fully capable and allow you to spend a happy time with your friends!
When the concept was thrown onto the big screen.
Even in the SE conference room, the senior executives took a deep breath involuntarily.
Then, with the launch of amiibo, the functionality of the entire Switch came to a successful conclusion.
"Real-life character figures can help characters overcome some difficulties at the current stage in the game" setting that breaks the dimensional wall.
It made the scene climax one after another!
In the SE conference room at this time, a group of senior executives were all staring with big eyes, but could not say a word after experiencing several shocks.
When I think about it, I naively thought that 'the number one players have no confidence in the genuine Switch, so they released the lite version first to lower players' expectations'.
Let’s go back and take a look at the exaggerated functionality of genuine Switch products…
The senior management, who had been ridiculed by a group of people, was even more embarrassed.
Why are you lowering players' expectations...
Are you giving players antihypertensive drugs? I'm afraid that I'm going to throw a bomb when I come up and make the players excited, so why don't I just go over there!
As the president of SE, Hattori Hiroyuki's expression is even more exciting than that of the senior executives!
It was just a light sweat just now, but now the sweat stains have even rolled down the corners of his eyes.
unbelievable!
He searched through all the vocabulary reserves in his mind, but found that he was short of vocabulary. In the end, he could only use the popular word "against the sky" in the country next door to describe this product...
A game console.
The handle is detachable and can be switched to other devices at any time.
Then there's the somatosensory mode.
The finish is also optimized around the pair of detachable handles.
Not only can it be installed on other handles with better hand feel.
It also fits into an arcade box.
Even a single controller can play a game without any hindrance!
There are also amiibo sensing devices...
no.
Are you, Ready Player One, making handheld consoles or toys?
With so many functions, just being a toy can already kill people in the toy market, right?
Before the Switch was announced.
Who would have thought that a handheld console could do this?
Extreme!
In terms of functionality, it has almost been achieved by the number one player to an unparalleled level!
Although Hattori Hongyi wanted to deny it repeatedly.
But the camera panned across the audience, and the stunned faces they looked at on the big screen were already the best interpretation of this handheld console!
Withdrawing his gaze, Hattori Hongyi looked at his Slover 13, which was as heavy as a tank, on the conference room table.
If you want appearance, no appearance, if you want function, only vibration...
There was even a hint of disgust in my heart...
to be honest.
With the product Swtich, if you are an ordinary player... you will never buy Slover13...
"But for such a machine that has almost reached the limit, it won't be cheaper than Slover13, right?" Hattori Hongyi had to admit in his heart.
Than functionality.
Needless to say, Slover13 has been completely blown away.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
That’s the selling price!
You have so many disruptive features, coupled with the performance configuration that can play games normally.
The selling price must not be as favorable as your own, right?
Thinking of this, Hattori Hongyi not only did not feel relieved, but instead grinned a wry smile.
Before this press conference, I was still proud of Slover13.
Until now, I can only compare with the number one player for a better price...
Less than half an hour passed before and after...
It is undoubtedly a huge blow.
And just when Hattori Hongyi thought this was the limit of his ability to bear.
A bigger blow came like a giant wave!
After the functionality of Switch is demonstrated.
Detailed parameters are also presented on the big screen.
In addition to the screen being smaller than the Slover13, the battery life is worse than the Slover13.
The same 2K resolution + stable 60 frames configuration
In terms of performance, it is almost on par with Slover13, with only a small difference in overall performance.
But the price...
2599!
The moment this price appeared, Hattori Hongyi almost blacked out and fainted.
The entire audience was dumbfounded!
The live broadcast room has long been covered with dense question marks layer after layer, with continuous 'Huh? ? ? 'Fills the entire screen!
"Take... take the young man??" Ling Zhetao, who was watching the live broadcast of Tengjing Game in real time, immediately stared at the price after seeing the price. He stood up and couldn't help but exclaimed and cursed: "This is crazy!" Is this the price a person can give???"
Last week's SE press conference was still fresh in his mind.
It is comparable to the PC-side 1080T+i513600F-level integrated processor, plus the production cost of the handheld itself.
Slover13, a handheld console with an additional vibration function, is priced at 5,199.
Even excluding after-sales/taxes and the one or two hundred profit that SE can get.
The cost price of Slover13 is at least above 4K, maybe even 4500.
At this price, the price fluctuation caused by the performance gap of Switch is subtracted.
How to reach the watershed of about 3000 ~ 3500!
At present, the price of 2599 ...
That means.
Just sell the handheld.
Not only did the number one player make money.
Even the foundry of the number one player to make a handheld player did not intend to make money!
A game manufacturer that does not make money, plus a foundry factory that does not make money? ?
No, you both are crazy?
Soon, the number one player gave the parameters of three different model control groups.
Among them, Switch Lite, which is priced at 1099, is equipped with Dongzhi 150 -level chip. The performance of 1K picture quality+stable 30 frames cannot drive 3D masterpieces. It is almost an exclusive work or a smaller PC game service.
The flagship version of the Switch OLED version, priced at 2599, equipped with Dongzhi 450 -level chip, 2K picture quality+stable 60 frames, which can drive the low and medium and low -picture quality of the current 3D masterpieces, mainly based on exclusive works. And compared to the LITE version, it has a qualitative change in functionality.
The final Switch OLED PRO version, priced at 4999, equipped with Dongzhi 550 -level chip, 2K picture quality+stable 90 frames, which can be overclocking. It can drive all the games on the market, including all the functionality of the OLED flagship version, and give up additional gifts A set of storage bags+handheld shells can also customize any exclusive appearance of all games owned by the top player according to the player's own preferences.
The presence of the three sets of configuration caused the cheers of the audience!
To be honest, many audiences at the scene and even the live broadcast room are actually pure players. They know the configuration or performance or something, and they even simply do not understand it.
I just play a game. Do I have to be proficient in so many things to play games?
Obviously not.
But here's the thing.
One week ago, after the SE conference, I believed that the SE of the victory coupon had spent another money on Slover13.
I also bought a lot of bloggers in the East Asian circle, and made a part of the popular science of handheld performance for Xiaobai players.
It also advocated that Slover13 is an inexpensive electronic product, and it is preserved, and it will not be greatly reduced when it comes to second -hand. It is encouraged to start with the brains without brains.
So many little white players have begun to have a general concept of handheld performance.
There was nothing wrong with this.
But today ...
After the configuration and price of the top players are announced.
Little white players found.
broken! We can understand now!
The top of the top Switch is not only higher than the performance of Slover13 next door, but also 200 yuan cheaper than others.
On this basis.
Switch's functionality has exploded Slover13 again!
And theoretically.
The Switch OLED version has already been able to target Slover13. Although the performance is worse, the functionality and the pricing of semi -cutting can throw Slover13 to the sky.
Now the barrage of the live broadcast room has exploded!
The number one player fan who has been aggrieved for a long time, finally gets angry and starts to get strong!
"Ah? What about the SE powder screaming last week? Keep calling!"
"Why don't you speak? Aren't you the price of 5199? Last week, all kinds of mad value, and the blow is just not buying it. Now I will ask, do you regret starting the Slover in your SE fans? Is it?/Smile ""
"2599's Transformers can still play games, look at ..."
"Don't be embarrassed. The child bought Slover13 last week. Now when the brick head is cushion at the gate, you can't do it?/
"Slover13 is high -priced! 50 yuan each! How much do you receive/dog head and flowers"
"I don't know if you have found a detail. The first player's first two features were used to compare with another heavy handheld. Inside, the handheld has never appeared again. What does this show, don't I say more? "
"Good guy, Slover13 is not worthy of comparison, right? This is the tulle."
"This wave of killing is still attentive! But I like it!/Bad smile"
"Woohoo, I admit that I have broken the defense, please don't scold you. Seriously, there is a solover13 in the hands of the buddy. Is there any kind big brother 2500 and collect it ... Girls use 99 new!"
"Se! WRNM! Return money !!"
"Fuck! Isn't this a pure electronic fraud? If it wasn't for the number one player, my fucking was really deceived.
"Brothers! If you have n’t arrived yet, you can retire the money! SE, the company, can only be replaced after the delivery, the insidious is very!"
The barrage in the live room has made a mess.
In reality, players who did not speak in various places also began to surge in undercurrents.
Just less than half an hour after the Switch's press conference.
The Ministry of Service Hongyi has received several telephones from the sales department, asking the partner to work overtime.
The reason is that Slover13's original smooth sales waves are falling in a cliff -like decline, and they have begun to receive a large number of return orders to handle the order of the sales department itself. It may be treated with this order to be dawn tomorrow.
What should I do if Hongyi is in an anxious inquiry department.
"Huh ..." Hongyi in the service department wiped his forehead and found that his palms were all sweaty, his eyes were slightly scattered.
After SE for more than thirty years, the company has been developing steadily, so that he has not seen the storm for too long.
In the past, even if he really played a business war with other companies, with the reputation and fans of the accumulated for many years.
It is almost not too frustrated.
But this time is different.
This time, the Ministry of Servant Hongyi smelled a very dangerous signal!
His headquarters has a great cause, there are many cooperative projects, and there are countless game varieties, and naturally will not collapse within a day.
But in the global monopoly manual field.
At present, Switch is almost a cliff -like lead, so that the Slover series has reached the edge of the minefield.
Although it won't die in a few days.
But on time, Slover's defeat was almost visible to the naked eye.
In the field of handheld, the revenue of the entire SE will almost lose half of their lives.
At that time, it is natural to gather the branches outside, so as to concentrate on the development of their headquarters.
After doing the position of the president for more than ten years, I am afraid that I will be eliminated by the board of directors.
Faced with a large shuffle in the industry in the blink of an eye, Hongyi, the Ministry of Service, did not expect that the forehead was more cold.
As early as a few days ago, he was still ridiculing that players who wanted to expel CN · SE belonged to self -proclaim.
Even after the success of his own conference, he threatened to the media. If the younger generation of the number one player rashly hit the old senior like SE, it would end a very ugly end. '
In the blink of an eye, the order of hunters and prey changed!
"No ... I can't pour!"
In my heart, there was a rush of thoughts.
"Drag the return order on the grounds of various excuses, and do not handle it for the time being. All your sales department will get off work."
The reason why you choose like this.
It is because the Ministry of Service Hongyi also has the last hint of hope!
I also have the last life -saving straw!
That's the exclusive game of Slover13, "The Legend of the Gillarier Continent"!
Although he has not participated in this new product developed by his own, he listened to his feedback. The game's score is not bad, and the sales volume is also very high. In just one week, he absorbed 500 million flowing water.
The player's support is so high, so it must be that this game can play very well?
With this guarantee, it also allowed the Ministry to eat a little relocation.
A week's five -million -dollar nursing masterpiece, boy!
Your Switch is a solid kill for our Slover13, but the game "Genting Game" with the highest flowing water before the number one player has only reached less than 400 million flowing water a month.
Looking at the previous game, the flowing water is a mess.
In just three months before "Genting", what escort works can you make?
As long as you escort and pull the gesture.
Our SE can also become a situation of resisted trials with SWTICH through the exclusive occupation of Girarell.
Then quickly iterate Slover14 and copy the advantages of SWTich! Then reduce the price and improve performance!
Even if you lose money, you will grab the market back!
Don't worry, don't worry, there is no chance to pull your Switch!
It can also stabilize my status of SE in the field of handheld!
Here, the face of the Ministry of Waito was a little bit good.
I also blame myself for a long time without going through the waves, and this small problem was messy.
With a passage, the winning noodles of your own SE are still very large.
Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The eyes also followed the scene of the conference on the screen.
Come on the smelly boy! Bright game!
What kind of well -known escort work can you make a good job?
Thanks to the boss 'Aris Happy' for the 10,000 reward! ! !
Thanks for the support, man! Thanks for your love!
Show the talents of the big guy -grab the ground with your head!
Boom boom boom! ! !
