Chapter 45 Falling like a meteor

The emergence of Sega Gamegear game gears seemed to make the handheld console market different in an instant. The screen with 16 million colors is as clear as a TV. The green screen of Wanhu's goodgame and Nintendo's gameboy, and the grayscale display with only black and white colors. Compared with the gamegear game gears, it seems to be an old antique from the last century.

Gamegear GameGear This charming (harmonious) product attracted many core players as soon as it was released. These guys who love games like life. Unless they are dead fat guys lying at home, they all want to play games anytime, anywhere.

Although Wanhu's goodgame and Nintendo's gameboy solve the pain points of playing games while moving, they do not solve the pain points of players' demand for the picture.

How can players who have seen the gorgeous pictures of home machines and arcades tolerate the "hard" scenes of handheld machines?

The reason why everyone could accept it in the past was either choosing Wanhu or Nintendo because there was no comparison. Nintendo and Wanhu both adopted similar screen technology. The eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother, and gg did not laugh at the GB, and everyone looked the same, so players naturally accepted it.

However, Sega's gamegear game gear that emerged from nowhere is different. Its picture looks no different from home consoles, although it is still far from arcades. However, players are already satisfied with the size of only two slaps, such a display effect can be achieved.

Seeing Sega's gg handheld game console, many players had the illusion of Sega turning over and chose to wait for the gamegear game gears to be released late at night.

Although the price of 49,998 yen makes it a bit painful for everyone to buy it. But it's worth it! The 3.5-inch super large 16 million color screen, an eight-bit processor, and can even run games on SG1000. This is much better than the harsh transplant version on Nintendo and Wanhu handheld consoles.

The scalpers also chose to join the ranks of gamegear game gears. After the first day, the price of gamegear game gears was even as high as 100,000 yen.

You should know that it is now in the 1990s. Although Japan's economy is not bad, it has already declined. The scene of taking a taxi with tens of thousands of yuan in money in the mid-1980s can never be seen again.

House prices in Tokyo are so high that almost no one can afford them. Under such circumstances, it is crazy to sell a handheld game with a handheld of 100,000 yen.

However, did Sega really win the handheld war with the gamegear game gear platform?

No! No! No!

As soon as the second day arrived, players who were waiting for gamegear game gears on the first day began to sell gamegear game gear handheld.

The reason for this is that the gamegear game gear is like an electric tiger that demands excessive demands. This handheld machine is really power-intensive. Although the picture is great, the sixth-section No. 5 Panasonic battery can only be played for four hours. If you use the miscellaneous brands of miscellaneous factories, you can't even hold on for three hours, and you will be finished just two hours later.

This made those players who have become accustomed to the goodgame of Nintendo Gameboy, who have been accustomed to the gameplay for ten days and half a month, but have been playing for dozens of hours in a row, collapsed.

Two hours!

What's more than two hours to play!

You should know that whether it is Wanhu’s goodgame or Nintendo’s gameboy, it only requires two No. 5 batteries.

You gamegear game gear machine requires six batteries to understand. After all, it is a color screen, but you need to change the battery after playing for two hours, so you can't understand it.

Battery life is like a diarrhea.

Players of this era finally realized the fear of being dominated by the power of mobile devices.

One battery is still acceptable. The batteries produced by Sony and Panasonic cost at least 200 yen, six batteries cost 1,200 yen, and miscellaneous batteries cost at least 100 yen.

In two hours of game, it costs 600 yen. In this way, many core players doubt the significance of buying gamegear game gears themselves.

You know, they can buy gamegear game gear handheld as soon as possible, but they are all veterans of the game. Although the current arcade games are getting more and more harmonious, as long as they are not fighting against others, it is not particularly difficult for them to play a coin for more than an hour or two for more than an hour.

The high cost of using Sega gamegear game gear handhelds is difficult for even core players to accept, not to mention that the absolute consumption of handhelds is the main force. For children, two hours and six batteries are not a painful thing, but a fatal blow.

Japan's economy is declining, and most children's pocket money is only about 100 yen per day. Nearly a week's pocket money can be exchanged for two hours of gamegear game gear game time, which is too...

Sega Gamegear Gamegear, a slutty guy who is known as gg handheld machine, and as one of Wanhu Goodgame, was abandoned by Japanese players as soon as he started to exert his strength.

Sega seems to never understand one thing, that is, electronic games are always cheap entertainment. Over-pursuing technological advancement ignores costs, selling prices, and using costs. This is definitely a failure.

If Takahashi said that Sega's attitude of producing products with technology-oriented approach is definitely not suitable for the home and handheld console markets of electronic games.

Sega survived well in the arcade market and gradually became the leader of the industry. It is because they value technology and are willing to spend money.

However, the owner of the arcade hall bought an arcade, no matter how expensive it was, as long as it could be made back, they would buy it. Because arcades are a tool for them to make profits, not a tool for entertainment.

Takahashi once met Sega's president Mr. Kokoro Okawa, who was a very hardworking and talented person. He didn't believe that Okawa Kokoro was not aware of Sega's problems.

It’s just that many things are just realizing that they are useless, and how to modify this thing to be what they should be is the crucial point.

If one day, Wanhu loses the ambition and pioneering spirit and becomes a monster that only helps superiors suppress subordinates. If one day xxism is no longer recognized in Wanhu and wins back the Confucian hometown genius, then it can be said that Wanhu will be pills.

Sega’s problem is that it cannot be changed and there is no way to change it. Because internal interest groups have been formed. Even if they want to be market-oriented, what are the scientific researchers who research technology doing?

Shouldn’t you learn from Nintendo and use the technology of withering and eliminating to insult the top engineers in the video game industry?

No!
