The GBOX game console that Feng Yu cooperated with Microsoft is finally going to be launched on the market. It was originally planned to go on sale at the end of this year, around Christmas, but Sunny just launched PSONE last month.
This can be regarded as an evolved version of the PS game console. It is smaller and only one-third of the original size. It can also be connected to an external LCD screen and has been modified to have an external power supply. In this way, the desire to play games in the car can be realized.
It is said that Sunni is also preparing to launch a mobile power supply that can provide about two hours of power to the console, allowing you to play games for longer.
Sunny had no choice. Originally, they invested a lot of money to develop the MP3 player, which was not popular and was called defective by many people. This seriously affected Sunny's profit.
Coupled with the sales of CD players and cassette players, they are in urgent need of a new profit point to increase the confidence of investors and increase the stock price.
Although the stock price does not affect Sunny's operations, it has a crucial impact on the brand's influence. For example, the world's top 500 rankings, the world's consumer electronics brand rankings, etc. These are one of the important channels to promote companies and brands, and they definitely don't want to fall behind.
In addition, Sega's Saturn released a new machine. Although there are no games and only a console, the sales and reputation of the Saturn have become very poor, but it has also taken away some markets.
Moreover, it is said that Rentian is also preparing to launch the fourth-generation home game console. GBOX does not want to compete with Rentian, so it chose this time to release the first-generation game console.
…
"Everyone, please see, this is the GBOX-1 launched by Aihua Xiaobawang, together with Microsoft, Fengyu Electronics and other companies, which is a first-generation game box. This is a home TV game console with built-in Intel and central The processor adopts Microsoft's new operating system and Fengyu Electronics' latest DVD technology. Moreover, our game console can also be connected to the Internet. In the future, we will launch a GBOX-LIVE online battle platform, allowing users to play online... "
This time the press conference was held in New York. After all, the market for this kind of expensive home game console is larger in the United States, while the audience in China is relatively small.
For Microsoft, President Ballmer was sent as the host, and for Aihua Xiaobawang, Duan Yongping was the representative. Of course, Zong Qingxian also attended on behalf of Taihua Holdings Group.
Feng Yu came, but didn't show up. Sitting down there, listening to Ballmer talking for an hour without even being able to drink water, how tiring it is.
He was sitting in the office, watching the live video broadcast through the computer screen. Although even the Internet in the United States is not that good at this time, Feng Yu's office has a dedicated line, and the live broadcast seats are all dedicated to him without any delay. And sitting next to him was Bill Gates.
This GBOX game console is also Bill Gates' product to counterattack Sunni. It is also the strategic deployment of set-top boxes that he plans to enter in the future, and he also attaches great importance to it.
"The GBOX-1 we launched this time is in the form of a gift package, which contains a console, two game controllers and ten game discs, corresponding to different games. There are five games in it, all of which are GBOX -1 is unique, and other game consoles do not have it for the time being, because it is developed by Fengyu Game Company and includes... "
The reason why Sega's Saturn fell off the market was not because the game console had poor performance, but because it didn't have any fun games. They were tricked by Suini, and the game company they originally cooperated with broke their alliance and chose to betray.
Only new games powered by PSONE will be launched, but they cannot run on Sega's game consoles. This resulted in the fact that some of Sega's original fun games could no longer provide new versions to users, and at this time, they were equipped with some old games that others were tired of playing!
Although Sega immediately signed cooperation agreements with some game companies, these agreements also deceived Sega. Because several companies here have been acquired by Fengyu Games, and some are controlled by Microsoft.
Due to the change of ownership, some development plans will be delayed, so the games that Sega originally thought could help them regain the market now only support Microsoft systems, which means they can only run on GBOX-1.
At that time, Shijia was only guarding against Sunny and Rentian. They never expected that another GBOX would appear, so there were no restrictions or precautions against GBOX in the terms of the contract.
Not only was Shijia unlucky this time, Sini and Rentiantian were also affected. Generally speaking, game development companies, after developing a game, will try to sell as many games as possible. Because the more they sell, the more they earn.
However, some game companies this time only launched the GBOX version and did not launch a version suitable for their game consoles at all! They discuss purchasing the copyright and developing it themselves. With their technology, it’s not too difficult.
But they won’t sell it, even if they give me money. You can buy it if you want, but I won’t sell it this year anyway. Let’s wait until next year.
Both Feng Yu and Microsoft are wealthy owners. In terms of game distribution, it doesn't matter if they make less money. This can make some games unique to GBOX, and also allow many people to buy their consoles for these games.
Sini followed this path when it first developed, and Rentian has always had its own unique games, which is why Rentian has a group of die-hard users.
At the earliest, Kameda Masao approached Feng Yu to discuss whether to let GBOX carry some games launched by his game company, but Feng Yu directly rejected it!
Are you kidding me? Your company’s games just need to be released on PC so that people can play them on computers. Anyway, there are game controllers with USB interfaces now. Besides, it’s also good to play with a mouse. So what? Wouldn't it be more convenient to operate the game with one hand
Sega's Saturn also had another measure that set them off, and that was Sega's inclusion of such games. Many parents think that this will spoil their children, so they exclude Saturn from their choices when buying game consoles.
Although Saturn is right, the game console itself is suitable for all ages, but more of them are really teenagers, and those very cartoon games are also liked by children.
Feng Yu will never let GBOX go down that wrong path. This is an ordinary home game console that allows people to play 2D and 3D games. It will also provide online battles in the future, nothing else.
"Our GBOX-1 gift pack is priced at US$399..."
At this time, the prices of Rentian and Sini products are US$289 and US$299 respectively, while the price of this GBOX-1 is a quarter more expensive.
However, it comes with a game controller and more game discs. Relatively speaking, it is cheaper than the products of Sini and Rentian. The price of a game disc is more than ten dollars!
This is the cost that Duan Yongping and his colleagues have reduced through their hard work in research and development. At this price, there is basically no profit. But this is much better than Microsoft's products in the previous life, which cost more than $100 per unit and had some problems.
When Ballmer personally delivered the first GBOX-1 to a lucky viewer, the sales of GBOX officially kicked off!
