Chapter forty-ninth chaos
As midnight came, Minister Koguchi Kyosuke finally returned to Hudson. From his tired expression, he could see that he had just experienced a very tired thing.
Yuji Kudo and everyone came back, held a simple meeting, and summarized all the information. The sales recorded by everyone added up to more than 4,000.
Although this number is very small compared to one million, it is no longer a small sales volume for Hudson.
Yuji Kudo briefly analyzed the situation today, arranged the follow-up publicity work, and told him that in addition to a few important personnel, he could come to work later tomorrow and have more rest.
From beginning to end, he did not talk about Kyosuke Koguchi, the Minister of Games.
Takahashi naturally wouldn't ask casually. If Yuji Kudo really trusted Kyosuke Koguchi very much, he asked directly just now, but now he didn't ask or know what he had to consider.
Everyone else got off work, and Takahashi went out one after another. However, instead of going home, he walked directly into the comic club next door.
Although this era is the golden age of Japanese comics, there are many readers, many authors, and the works are full of vitality. But if you cannot just look at the bright side, in fact, behind the prosperity is unknown how many people work overnight and get it at the expense of health.
For example, in elementary school halls, they work much more overtime than Hudson. Their magazines never turn off the lights for twenty-four hours.
Because the column response is very popular, Takahashi, where Hudson does not have a special desk, has an office desk here.
What he needs to be responsible for here every day is not only column planning, column writing, communication with cartoonists and editors, but also letters from readers.
Looking at the piles of at least hundreds of envelopes on the table, Takahashi did not complain, but began to open the letter and read it directly.
He never regarded such readers' letters as a burden. In fact, he regarded readers' letters as a very important task.
Understand the audience's status and provide timely feedback, which will make the work more down-to-earth.
For example, Takahashi learned through letters from readers that Nintendo’s gaming watch GAME & WARCH series portable game consoles are very popular among children.
For example, Takahashi learned through letters from readers that children in Japan now like to learn about adults exchanging business cards. Therefore, Takahashi suggested that Hudson's main personnel have made a batch of business cards to be exchanged with the children.
This will make the children feel friendly while saving time in signing.
You should know that before the business card is made, Takahashi signs at least 100 times every day.
In fact, it is not the first time that many children want to sign their autographs, and Takahashi remembers their appearance. But, we must not sign them, right?
Even if you don’t respect the children themselves, you must respect the money in your hands. It is a very subtle metaphor for customers to be God. To put it bluntly, money is God.
Takahashi also applied for a game watch that he had no impression of him.
He only found out that he had seen this thing after getting it. Isn’t this the portable gaming machine that he bought when he was a child with LCD screen printing for ten or twenty yuan?
The screen of this kind of game console is not in pixels. Each action and each scene are pre-printed on the screen. When a specific scene and action is required, the corresponding LCD pattern is powered up, the LCD flips over, and no longer transmissively, and this part becomes black.
Takahashi is not very optimistic about this kind of game console. Although it has the advantages of portability, power saving, etc., it has a fatal disadvantage, that is, a machine and a screen can only have one game.
However, Nintendo is worthy of being a legendary manufacturer. This shortcoming actually turned them into magic and turned their shortcomings into profit points.
Since a machine can only play one game, then we should do the machine sea tactics.
According to incomplete statistics, there are currently no less than forty game watch series products on the market.
Due to the low unit price, the cumulative sales volume is about to reach tens of millions. Not only are it popular in Japan, but even European countries and North America have been conquered by such small game consoles.
However, due to Atari, although the United States has huge consumption potential and is the largest market in the world, the majority of gaming watches sold overseas is still in Europe.
Perhaps because of the hot sales of gaming watches, with the hot sales of red and white machines, there are rumors that Nintendo will launch a portable version of red and white machines that can replace games.
However, few people in the industry believe this.
Who doesn’t know the reason why the red and white machines are popular? Isn’t it because of the low hardware price?
However, if you want to create a portable version of the red and white machine, in addition to greatly increasing the integration and increasing costs, the screen and power consumption are difficult to solve.
However, this is something that big companies are thinking about. Konagato doesn’t want so much. They look at the hot sales of game watches and have launched various portable game consoles.
Those who use LCD screens to imitate game watches can be considered normal products. Those "portable game consoles" that use red diodes and stickers, rely solely on brain repair and weigh a pound, are still considered "right paths".
The most harmonious "portable gaming console" Takahashi has ever seen is also a hybrid gaming console.
That's right! Hybrid.
High-end, atmospheric, high-end!
After decades, I can't say that I can make a wave of environmentally friendly products.
What is the power of it mixing?
It may surprise some people if they say it, it is mechanical energy and electrical energy.
In human terms, it is a gaming console that needs to be installed with clockwork and battery.
The gameplay of this game console comes from Atari's famous game "PANG". However, the trajectory of the small ball movement of this machine is not determined by the program, but entirely from the mechanical structure.
The so-called small ball is also a diode that can emit red light. The function of the battery is to make the red diode shine and be able to better distinguish.
In other words, even without batteries, this game console can still be played.
Black technology! Mechanical punk!
No matter what words to use to describe this game console, Takahashi even used his own money to collect one.
The mechanical structure of this game console is really fascinating.
However, such a tricky design idea made this game console full of gimmicks, but it did not make this game console popular.
The reason is very simple. In the game field, if it is not fun, it is original sin.
Because it is a mechanical structure, the trajectory of the "ball" is really unpredictable. It is not as intuitive and intuitive as "PANG", so this game console has basically disappeared from the market.
