Chapter 407: Who Said I Was Going to Make Money Selling Game Consoles?

Originally, Yang Chen didn't want to let others know about the handheld computer so early.

To put it simply, it is to develop secretly, and those who shoot do not want to shoot.

But now that it has been discovered, Yang Chen still has to respond.

Faced with the controversy of online players, Yang Chen sent the photos of the acquisition of Suotian Company to the official blog.

'I believe everyone is also clear,Nebulas Games recently acquired a handheld production company,Yes, we plan to make handhelds,But it's not nostalgia as everyone says,But we think handhelds have a big market,And handhelds can bring a different game experience and happiness。 ’

More detailed things, of course, Yang Chen can't say it on the official blog, but as a formal response, it's almost the same.

However, after Yang Chen's official blog was released, it caused a lot of waves.

Is there a big market for handhelds? Can it bring a different gaming experience and happiness?

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused and at a loss.

Is there really a big market for handhelds?

People related to the game industry have come up with handheld sales charts in recent years, isn't this the handheld market shrinking year by year?

Last year, the country's handheld shipments were less than 1 million, is there really a big market for this thing?

After reading the market data about the handheld, everyone was a little speechless,

Is this called the Big Market? Trouble!

Compared with those who pay attention to the handheld market, domestic game designers focus on the different game experience and happiness that Yang Chen said.

A different gaming experience and fun?

All those who look at the handheld are also confused.

In the NetDragon game, Zhang Yida grabbed a Suotian card handheld in his hand, observed it several times, and then tried to play the above game, and then he frowned tightly.

Does the handheld bring a different experience and happiness to the game?

Zhang Yida looked at the handheld in his hand and couldn't imagine anything special at all.

For the handheld, in fact, Zhang Yida also has his own opinions, and it is definitely impossible to completely eliminate it.

Although the hardware of mobile phones is becoming more and more powerful, even on mobile phones it has been able to run some so-called 3A masterpieces seven or eight years ago.

But after all, a mobile phone is a mobile phone, and the game function is just incidental, compared to a handheld computer with a physical button experience, the mobile phone is not a professional game console after all.

But the key lies in the handheld itself, can there really be any breakthroughs?

Zhang Yida felt a little strange in his heart.

…………

In the Nebula game, Yang Chen made an appointment to meet Suo Tian, no, now he should call the relevant person in charge of the Nebula handheld, including the chief engineer.

The new handheld, Yang Chen didn't understand the specific things, so he asked whether he could make it specifically, or what else still depends on their opinions.

However, looking at some news on the Internet, Yang Chen was a little inexplicably speechless.

'NetDragon acquires Miracle handheld! ’

'Phoenix acquires the Giant handheld! ’

In addition, some first- and second-tier manufacturers in the game industry, and even capital outside the game circle, have acquired some handheld manufacturers.

Even the established game manufacturers have received a lot of capital injections.

"It's normal, because we've always been a success in Nebula Games, and this time, Mr. Yang, you also publicly expressed your optimism about the handheld industry." Xu Yu next to him smiled and said.

From the industry of the game itself, to the operation of the peripherals, including the recently released "Silent Hill" and the collaboration with Lego, it has proved that it has a lot of benefits.

Although they still can't understand where the handheld market can be profitable, but Yang Chen and Nebula Games have already laid out, so they will naturally not lag behind, after all, compared to these companies themselves, there is not much money to invest in the handheld industry.

It's normal to chase successes.

After listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, what did a group of people think?

Even if there is no such thing as a patent for each technology, he made the switch so that you can also know what kind of handheld he wants to make, so what's the use?

Wouldn't this be a good console if it doesn't have games specific to handheld platforms?

Yang Chen was speechless for a while.

What's the use of a handheld without a game?

No matter how good it is, what can it be?

At a time when the outside world seems to have set off a wave of handheld craze, the people who have changed their names to Nebula handheld have arrived.

Cheng Ping is the general manager of Xingyun's handheld, and he is also the main chief engineer.

Looking at the building of Nebula Games in the Kirin Software Zone, Cheng Ping couldn't help but show a trace of emotion.

Compared to Nebula Games, they feel like younger brothers.

At the same time, he is also a little curious in his heart, why does Nebula Games lay out the handheld, although it is a handheld, he also has to admit that the handheld market is really sluggish.

After telling his name from the front desk, the relevant person in charge brought Cheng Ping to the door of Yang Chen's office.

Yang Chen, who was sitting in front of the computer, was writing the GDD about "Modern Warfare", and when he saw that Cheng Ping was here, he habitually saved it, Yang Chen got up and smiled.

After a brief chat, Yang Chen went directly to the core content point.

"Manager Cheng, stop the original handheld." Yang Chen opened his mouth and said.

"Mr. Yang, stop the original business, then ......" Hearing Yang Chen's words, Cheng Ping had something to say, but was interrupted by Yang Chen before he could finish speaking.

"I need you to develop a new handheld according to my requirements, and I don't have to worry about the money." Yang Chen showed a design book to Cheng Ping.

It's said to be a design book, but it's actually just a simple sketch, as well as some functional requirements for the Switch handheld.

In terms of appearance, such as the button division, these are not to be said.,The main specific thing is about the main functions of the game console.,There are also adaptations.。

"Mr. Yang, what can be done is what can be done, but this 3D haptic vibration function, as well as wireless and touch screen, including host mode, as well as separated handles, with body feeling, the cost of listing is a big problem, considering that the channel and the later promotion and maintenance of these, I am afraid that the price will be 3000 yuan to be profitable." Cheng Ping said a little worriedly.

These are not key technologies, they have been popularized, although they are not used in the handheld industry, but with Cheng Ping's own experience, including the equipment in his own factory, as well as the procurement of corresponding supporting parts, he can probably estimate a cost in his heart.

"The corresponding cost will naturally come down if the volume goes up, and who said that I want to make a profit with game consoles?" Yang Chen looked at Cheng Ping and said a little strangely.

What if it's profitable? Is it profitable to sell games by selling machines?

A machine earns three or four hundred tops, but players can play for two or three years, or even longer, if they buy a machine.

What about games?

There are a lot of games in a row.,Nebula Games' own.,There are also open third parties.,There's always something you like as a player, right?

Only if the price of the machine is low enough can it attract players to buy the game console.

And after buying a game console, you can't just play a game, otherwise one or two thousand game consoles, wouldn't it be a big loss to play one or two hundred games?

Isn't this just making decorations?

So check out the various other games?

If you can't buy it, you can't lose money, and you can't be fooled.

Don't buy more games to play, aren't you losing money on this machine?
