Chapter 568: The DB Who Was Laughed By The Crowd

"Love Book Network" access address

After consulting Bill Gates, Sega Bandai decided to produce 10 million units of DB first, with ten language versions, and compete directly with Zhiduoxing and Nintendo.

On October 8th, DB was officially launched globally.

Ueno Kazunori looked at the Sega Bandai counter, there was a queue, but it was far worse than when the new products of Zhitaxing and Nintendo were released, and he didn't know if the situation would improve.

They have hung banner advertisements in front of stores and at the entrance of shopping malls, hoping to be noticed by more consumers and willing to buy their products.

In terms of retail price, they set it at 149 US dollars, and the island market is 18,800 yen. This price is not profitable at all, so I hope this time it will not be criticized by consumers because of the price.

In terms of games, they have prepared twelve 32-bit games, two of which are newly developed, just to attract consumers' attention with new games, and the remaining ten are also the best-selling ones on Saturn.

The reason why classic games are called classics is that they will still be fun and attractive to play again after many years.

At the end of the first day, all parties were waiting for the sales statistics. After they got the statistics from the major retailers, they all relaxed.

The global first-day sales volume was only 320,000 units, including pre-sales, it was only 630,000 units. This data can be said to be very poor.

When Zhiduoxing z4 was first launched, its sales in the island market were no worse than this. Now that DB is listed simultaneously globally, it is said that it should be at least three times the number to be considered excellent. Now, it doesn't even qualify.

However, Zhiduoxing and Nintendo did not comment on this, and everyone is still waiting until the weekly sales statistics are available. Some companies' products will show an upward trend, either because of publicity, or because of word-of-mouth fermentation, just like the original products of Zhiduoxing.

After the weekly sales statistics came out, everyone was finally welcome.

DB's global weekly sales volume is 1.12 million units, far inferior to z4 and gBa.

DB, another failed attempt by Sega Bandai.

Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, Sega Bandai's handheld road.

Nintendo announced that the upgraded version of gBa will be released soon, continuing Nintendo's consistent excellent quality.

Satoshi Matsutajiri, president of the Sami Elf, said,

DB has too many shortcomings and will be eliminated by the market.

Nintendo Vice President Satoshi Yantian stated that DB was a design they had given up on.

A piece of news was reported, and DB's reputation was getting higher and higher, but it was a pity that it was notorious. Zhiduoxing and Nintendo took turns to DIss, but Sega Bandai couldn't refute it.

Who made Sega Bandai not have a successful handheld? If it weren't for Microsoft's joining and letting them launch Super Uranus, they might even quit the hardware market directly and concentrate on developing games.

It can be said that in the past few years, Sega Bandai has failed in both TV game consoles and handhelds. The favorable rate is very low, and the game camp is not too big.

The old books are almost eaten up, how should Sega Bandai choose next?

Last month, although there was a big event in the United States, which caused the stock market to fall, the purchasing power in North America did not decrease. Instead, there was panic consumption, which led to an increase in the sales of z4 and gBa, and z4s was also accepted by consumers.

But after the panic consumption, everyone will return to reason, and even many people will become more economical because they spent too much before.

Especially in the United States, many people spend on loans. The loan was taken last month, and it is time to repay the loan this month. How can there be money to buy a new machine?

How many people have even filed for bankruptcy this month, because their stocks have not been released, their loans have not been repaid, and their capital chain has collapsed.

Sega Bandai felt that they were unlucky, not because of bad product design. They use a dual-screen design and can interact with Super Uranus.

In terms of hardware, many low-energy components are used, and the power of the battery is increased at the same time. It is guaranteed to be able to play for more than six hours, and even some games can be played for more than eight hours. Is this not enough?

The picture definition is also very high, the buttons feel good, and the weight is relatively moderate, and the camera memory card is used, which is the best.

Sega Bandai couldn't figure it out, they had made up for the shortcomings that were criticized by players before, and they did it better. At the same time, there are also many fun games for players to choose from, and even this time they deliberately lowered the price of the game, hoping to replicate the myth of Zhiduoxingg.

What they pursue is the first successful handheld device. Even if they don't make money, they still need to lay the foundation for their future launch of 3D handheld devices.

But who would have thought that players would complain, saying that they launched later and have so few functions. There is no 3D function, so it can be said that the technology is not up to the mark, but other smart phones can play MP3, why not yours?

Dual screens look good, but in reality they are useless at all. Who stares at two screens while gaming? This design is completely superfluous.

Take a look at the Zhiduoxing z4s, which is also a dual-screen, but it is equivalent to two sides. One is used for the mP3 function, displaying information such as lyrics and singers, and the other is for playing games.

Moreover, the DB is a bit big, and it doesn't feel very good in the hand. At least when elementary school students play it, they will feel that it is too big and their fingers are not long enough.

Z4s uses a headphone jack to ensure that you will not disturb others when you play games, but DB only has external voices and no headphone jack, which is inconvenient to play in some public places.

Players' complaints were collected and published by some evaluation media, which dealt a fatal blow to Sega Bandai. Even the authoritative media said so, even fewer people want to buy it.

Sega Bandai never imagined that the handheld machine they spent so much money on research and development would have so many bad reviews. Especially if they feel that these are minor problems, the most important thing about playing a game console is not whether the game is fun or not? Have you lost your focus?

They also quickly discovered that the media that gave negative reviews were all related to Nintendo, Zhiduxing, etc., and some were related to Suuni. It was clear that the other three game console manufacturers had attacked Sega Bandai.

The market is so big, and Sunny also wants to be a handheld player, so it would be better to have one less competitor.

Zhi Duoxing and others will not be polite. Originally, Zhi Duoxing and Nintendo split the handheld. Even this year, Zhi Duoxing intends to double Nintendo in terms of handheld sales, and a DB suddenly appears.

This can also give Sonny a warning, if you blindly and quickly launch the handheld, then the result must be the same.

After Bill Gates heard the news, he flew from Seattle to Tokyo again. This matter must be resolved. This time the handheld must not just admit defeat!
