Chapter 406 Thunder - How Much Is New Era Priced Right?
A beating...
Of course it is impossible.
Who is Tian Moyun?
He realized that the atmosphere was wrong, so he was timid on the spot.
Oh, this is not called cowardice, this is called being a hero who knows the times!
This sentence means: Those who recognize the trend of the times and those who are smart and capable are real heroes.
...
At the end of December.
Finally, several major things have been accomplished.
"Pokemon", "Contra: Obsession", "Mario: World", the three games have been developed and entered the final testing stage.
The new handheld machine has also completed the final adjustment and officially started mass production.
"This is the final form of the handheld machine."
Tian Moyun handed a white handheld machine to Su Qiong: "I tested it for a long time, and finally I felt that the design was pretty good. The feel, appearance, battery life, and performance were all very balanced and excellent."
Looking at the unique handheld machine in her hand, Su Qiong was a little surprised.
Because of its appearance, it looks surprisingly similar to the gamepad.
This is the generation of magic machine on Earth that caused an earthquake-like sensation in the game circle in the previous life - GBA!
...
Of course, it is not exactly similar.
Tian Moyun specially invited professional designers to make some adjustments based on the original ones.
Because of advanced technology, it is possible to reduce the size and thinner it while retaining a better-use display screen.
Although the GBA in my previous life was very popular, it still had a criticized flaw.
That is - screen!
Due to the technical limitations at that time, GBA did not use a self-luminous display in order to improve battery life while performing high performance and color screens, which also led to the very blurry screen display of GBA in environments with insufficient brightness.
Especially when playing at night, I even have to use a flashlight to light it...
In short, it is very inconvenient to play and is eye-consuming, which can easily lead to myopia and the gaming experience is not ideal.
so--
When Tian Moyun was doing hardware research and development, he focused on making display screens, which truly achieved high picture quality, high brightness, high refresh, low power consumption, and the size was 3 inches, slightly larger than the original version, and the overall experience was several times better.
As for power consumption?
Take the game "Pokemon" as an example:
The battery life of GBA is about 15-20 hours.
The battery life of the new handheld machine can reach 25-30 hours.
Of course, this is just the laboratory calculation result and is for reference only.
When playing specifically, there are too many factors that affect battery life, including brightness, sound, games, battery brand and capacity, and the number of switches...
But no matter what it says-
The new handheld machine has stronger performance, richer colors, self-luminous screens, and is lighter and smaller in size, while maintaining better battery life. This is a very excellent performance and a global leading level.
...
Su Qiong did not play "Pokemon".
She personally developed the game. She knew the level of it.
She is playing Mario: World. She has been busy before, so she has not participated in the development of this game. Now the experience of playing is very novel.
“It feels great.”
Su Qiong played for more than half an hour before putting down the handheld machine, looked up and asked, "What's the name of this handheld machine?"
"【Thunder-New Era】."
Tian Moyun said softly: "The first generation host is called [New World], and the handheld machine is called [New Era], and will be named after numbers in the future."
"For example: [New World 2], [New Era 2]... and so on."
...
Su Qiong felt that this was not a catchy name, but since Tian Moyun thought it was good, that's fine.
After all... she is not a girl with a talent for naming, and it might be worse if she was asked to come.
“Where is the price?”
Su Qiong holds [Thunder-New Era] in his hand, and the holding feels very comfortable. The polycarbonate shell material has regular concave and convex patterns and bright and delicate screen colors, and is covered with a clear layer of glass, which is much more advanced than the most common plastic protective screen on the market.
This handheld machine has a very good appearance, just like a work of art, and doesn't look cheap.
Su Qiong has a rich family background, so of course he doesn't care about the money of the handheld machine, but players must care.
If the price is too high, most players will inevitably stop, which obviously does not conform to Tian Moyun's idea.
“I’m still thinking.”
Tian Moyun shook his head: "The product pricing department gave a suggestion: 1,699 yuan. But I think this price has some challenges the affordability of domestic players, and may invisibly reduce a lot of sales, so I'm hesitating whether to cut some."
RMB 1699.
Su Qiong thought about it and thought the price was quite affordable.
The price of the handheld machine in the era of the Big Three was 2,499 yuan when it was released. Later, the price continued to be reduced. It only dropped to 1,599 yuan after about three years of release.
You know, that is an 8-bit handheld machine, and it is as bloated as a small brick, and it is not beautiful at all.
Moreover, it was in 1997, and it has been 4 years since now.
The economic recovery of Daxia Kingdom was very rapid. In just four years, the average income rose by more than 80%, which shows how expensive the handheld machine of the three giants is.
And now-
It's 2002 soon, and the economic conditions of the residents of Daxia Country are getting better and better.
The new handheld machine of 1,699 yuan is just a month's salary for many people who earn slightly above the average, and is not a luxury.
Su Qiong believes that if it were the Big Three, the release price of a product like [Thunder-New Era] would definitely not be less than 2,999 yuan.
Because the comprehensive experience of this handheld machine, such as appearance, performance, etc., is completely unique in history, and it is not even the advanced technology that should have in this era.
It's more like a work of art than just a gaming console.
Only Tian Moyun will put himself in the face of this huge benefit and consider it for consumers.
Perhaps, this is what is called: Only by not forgetting the original intention can one achieve the end.
Um...
Su Qiong expressed his admiration.
...
The price of [Thunder-New Era] was finally finalized.
But this is still a secret for the time being, because Tian Moyun is preparing for a press conference and is preparing to announce it later.
And the press conference-
Of course, this product is impossible.
Tian Moyun has been very busy in recent months. In addition to supervising and guiding the development progress of the four games, he also has to go to [Thunder Research Center] to be responsible for the development of new products.
"I'm going to give you a surprise and...announce the arrival of a new era."
When Su Qiong was curiously asked, Tian Moyun replied with a smile.
"You're totally nonsense, you didn't say anything."
Su Qiong curled her lips.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. The press conference is scheduled for the end of next month, and you will know then."
Tian Moyun smiled and took her little hand: "Let's go eat something. I heard that a youth movie has just been released recently. Let's go and have a look after it after dinner."
"Are you talking about "Romantic Memories of Youth"? Wenwen asked me to watch it together on weekends..."
"What's the point of watching with that single dog? What can she feel? Don't worry about her."
"But... I promised her."
"There is no big problem. Then you will say you are busy with work and ask her to take her classmates to watch... Oh, by the way, you must be a female classmate."
"You...a sister-in-law?"
"roll."
"What did you say?"
