Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo Chapter 454: Is the CD the star of the future...?

Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's handheld consoles have been selling at a loss up to now, with an average loss of over $20 per unit.

So, to make a profit in the early stages, a substantial amount of electronic ga sales are necessary.

Gastar Electronic Entertainnt expects annual sales of GSL handheld consoles to reach nearly 20 million units, and even 30 million units is not out of reach.

If it's 30 million units, that's over 600 million in machine cost losses.

To make up for it, they would need to generate at least 600 million or more in profits from electronic gas.

The average profit from a first-party ga with a million-unit sales volu is about $20-30 million.

Based on the current sales data of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's first-party gas, if supervised and developed by Takayuki himself, there is a possibility of aiming directly for sales in the tens of millions.

And if it's just a first-party ga, it would be around one to three million units at most.

So under normal circumstances, the revenue from ga cartridges this year can definitely offset so of the losses on the consoles.

But all of this is contingent upon gas being released normally and cartridge supplies remaining stable.

However, now, there is a problem with cartridge production, and this problem may directly affect three months of cartridge production capacity.

It's currently a high-frequency confrontation between the two sides, and any slight mistake from either side could affect the future situation.

"Sorry, sir, there's been a shortage of cartridges recently. You'll need to wait a bit longer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Ti cartridge you're looking for."

"More waiting? I've already waited for half a month."

By May, the shortage of cartridges began to gradually manifest.

Gastar Electronic Entertainnt has been trying to allocate more cartridges to popular titles like The Legend of Zelda, which is sowhat unfair to other titles, but it's unavoidable. Prioritizing gas with more players is the necessary choice now.

But even so, cartridge inventory is gradually running out.

This isn't just for one region; ga cartridges need to be provided to the whole world.

To address player dissatisfaction, ga stores promised to provide free shipping to these users and even include a free digital ga when they receive cartridge shipnts, which they can redeem in the online store in the future.

This could alleviate player dissatisfaction slightly, but their demand for entertainnt, as Nagao said, will not diminish. On the contrary, they will be even more eager to get the entertainnt brought by electronic gas.

Nintendo in the past was very good at playing with hunger marketing, deliberately creating shortages of certain popular titles to make users even more eager to get their gas.

But that was based on absolute dominance.

Previously, if Takayuki wanted to do this kind of thing, it would definitely be fine because at that ti there were hardly any competitors, and players could accept so gimmicks from him.

But not now, Surray Electronics is watching closely.

So disappointed players walked out of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's stores, and the staff at stores selling Surray Electronic gas on the sa street imdiately enthusiastically attracted players over.

"Sir, you can co to our store to try out our latest ga titles. So of them are no less than what Gastar Electronic Entertainnt offers."

The player was sowhat disdainful; he didn't believe the clerk's nonsense.

But after seeing the cool ga video footage at the entrance of Surray Electronics, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Once people get used to the entertainnt brought by electronic gas, they can't easily accept losing it.

Although old gas can still be played, no one can resist having cooler, more updated gas.

In the end, the player walked into the store and bought a handheld console and a few gas.

Because even if these gas don't match the quality of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's, the overall quality isn't much worse.

Because these gas were all made by studios that had worked on gas for Gastar in the past.

Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is the enlightennt of the gaming industry in this world and also the Whampoa Military Academy of the gaming industry. It has produced countless outstanding ga developers, who are treasures of this industry.

Now, Surray Electronics also has many gas of quality exceeding three and a half stars.

Players who aren't too demanding about the quality of electronic gas can also accept them.

Among the stores, players ultimately reluctantly chose Surray Electronics.

And in the dia, Nagao's excitent rose again.

The previously strong sales data from Gastar Electronic Entertainnt left him sowhat lacking in confidence.

But now, seeing their sales montum grow rapidly while the competition begins to slow down due to production capacity limitations, he started to mock them with a sowhat gloating tone.

Previously, he felt a bit short-changed to buy Gastar Electronic Entertainnt for 10 billion, then thought about buying it for 3 to 4 billion, but now it seems, he might not need 3 to 4 billion, a dozen million should be enough. It depends on whether Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is willing to let go, or if Gastar Electronic Entertainnt decides to reintroduce ga consoles with disc carriers, Surray Electronics might be able to provide so 'technical assistance'.

In any case, in any interviews related to Nagao in the dia, his words are always very ambiguous.

And he occasionally boasts about how much capital his new online shopping fantasy has gained favorably, and how many stable users his new online shopping fantasy has gained.

In this situation, he didn't forget to advertise and brag about himself a bit, which is also sowhat clever.

At this ti, Surray Electronics also took the opportunity to promote the benefits of their disc standard.

The biggest advantage of discs is their low cost, and the materials are also very easy to obtain.

As long as they obtain authorization, even an enterprise with no technical background can quickly set up a mature disc production line, with no restrictions on production capacity whatsoever.

So if other third-party manufacturers loyal to Gastar Electronic Entertainnt are interested, they are willing to provide any technical support.

If third parties want to set up a disc production line directly, their technical staff will definitely provide the best technical support.

For a ti, there are more and more statents about the advantages of discs, and so interested experts also took the initiative to promote the disc carrier, calling it the star of the future. The uncertainty of flash mory chips is too much, the material costs are higher than discs, and there are difficulties in mining. Finally, they even brought up the environntal argunt; the production process of discs is more environntally friendly, making them the best choice for many regions to develop industries.
