Chapter 659 Long live the card
"It is actually a storage chip!" The yellow crane felt a little surprised and not so surprised by this result.
The reason for the accident is that Nintendo's demand is actually the storage chip. This has nothing to do with the game. Boss Huang did not expect something beforehand.
It is not surprising that the storage chip of Jiangnan Group is undoubtedly the only product in the world. If Nintendo wants to buy the best storage chip, then there is only no surprise to ask for yourself.
However, it is also amazing that Fusang's own home is one of the world's largest semiconductor production countries, and has the world's most mature semiconductor system. Therefore, it was tossed by Mi and South Korea in the later period, which caused the semiconductor industry to be cut off and cut off.
Crossing, no longer the grand occasion of the year.
But after all, the dying camel is larger than the horse. Now if you want to buy a storage chip, you actually ask for your own head.
"Storage chip, this should be the strong point of your country. Why are you looking for us?" Boss Huang squinted his eyes and asked.
"Really, my country cannot produce your company, such a cheap chip!" Iwada Satoshi sighed, his expression was very lonely. Indeed, if it was rested 10 years ago, who could imagine it, a fuggling helper in a dwelling family, a fuggling of a fifty mulberry. Enterprises, they will actually ask for the chip of Chinese people, which is definitely a historic breakthrough.
"Want our storage chip, but to produce the game card belt?" Boss Huang then asked.
"That's exactly that!" Iwada looked at Huang He a little surprised, but did not expect that the other party could take the initiative to see through this. However, there was nothing to hide, after all, the other party would know these sooner or later, so you just saw us new.
The NDS handheld, which is released, is the best game handheld in the world. The only weaknesses that can limit his weaknesses are the game card belt as a storage device.
That's what we need! "
The NDS game console continues the consistent tradition of all Nintendo's game consoles, that is, the game console with the game card belt. The game handheld itself does not have any room for storage of the game.
Insert the game card with the game machine, and then the game can be played.
There are many benefits to doing so. First of all, it can save the cost of the game machine itself, reduce the price of the game console, and further open the market.
Secondly, it can make the game card band more important and irreplaceable. Players want to play more new games can only buy game card belts, and each game card belt can repeatedly earn a lot of profits.
At the same time, one of Nintendo's biggest income, that is, one of the means of peeling with a third -party game dealer, is to charge expensive card band records.
Nintendo stipulates the game of all third -party game companies. Whenever you want to be released through Nintendo's platform, all the game cards must be handed over to Nintendo to execute.
The reason is that Nintendo has the highest card band burning technology, which can match the game console to the greatest extent. Avoid various experiences caused by game card bands and maintain the user experience.
This reason sounds so tall, but in fact, each of the game card belt is included, Nintendo will charge 15%additional costs. Third -party game companies originally needed to pay 30%of the platform fees to Nintendo.
Card belt, not only to pay expensive card band costs, but also need to pay an additional 15%of the cost to Ren Paradise.
Nintendo itself is naturally a lot of money, but third -party game companies have lost their family.
For example, a third -party game provider diligently spent 100 million yen to develop a game and pushed it to the market, with a total sales of 200 million yen.
It seems to have doubled the profit, which is very rich.
But in these 200 million yen, you must first take 30%, that is, 60 million yen, and give it to Nintendo as an intermediary fee.
Secondly, it is also necessary to pay 15%of the band burning costs, that is, 30 million yen to Ren Paradise.
Finally, Nintendo will calculate the cost again. The total cost of all carved card bands is 20 million yen. As a result, Nintendo took away 110 million yen before and after, and only 9,000 left in the hands of third -party game manufacturers left.
10,000 yen.
Third -party game manufacturers made money clearly, but in the end they lost 10 million yen. Instead, Nintendo made a profit of 100 million yen without doing anything.
Such a policy naturally made the third -party game manufacturers under Nintendo anger, but because of the king of Nintendo game consoles, it was unable to resist.
Keke, a little far away, the words are home.
All in all, the game card belt is a means of exploiting third -party game manufacturers by Nintendo's life. Therefore, Nintendo's time is not as a last resort, it is impossible to give up the game card belt.
In fact, the last president of Rennian, known as the game tyrant, evolved from a small poker manufacturer to Shanneo, the world's largest game console manufacturer.
After the competitors Sony launched the game CD function, when asked if they would give up the game card belt, and also launching a cheaper storage tool CD, Yamanaka was very simple to express.
Use that kind of stupid prop to load the game.
And Yamauchi herself continued to emphasize at the company's internal conference that it is absolutely not allowed to give up the rules of the stalemate. Iwata Iwa has just taken over the time of the president for a year.
The will of Shanneu.
In fact, until the death of Yamauchi, Nintendo's game consoles did not have the ability to store games inside. Until the death of Shanneo, the latest generation of gaming consoles Switch was launched for the first time, which was the first time with a hard disk, that is, internal storage space.
You can use the game card belt, download the game by downloading the Internet.
And Sony's next -generation PS host has its own storage space, so this has also become one of the huge black spots that Nintendo wants money in the eyes of the player.
In addition to this black dot, the card belt also brings a serious problem, that is, the cost of Nintendo's game.
As we all know, any manufacturer of a game console does not make money. A Switch that sells only in his early 2000s can even pull down the flagship machine in 2020, so Switch's hardware really smashed money, 2000
The prices in the first place are really not making money.
However, this is also an industry convention. Whether it is Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft, they are all as cheaper as possible to make the host as cheaper. As long as they do not lose their money, they will go to the takeaway routine, and then put the hope of making money on the game card.
After all, you have spent more than 2000 buying the game console, so you don't buy a thousand dollars of games, isn't it sorry for the money to buy this game console.
The price of a game console is about 30,000 yen, and then a game sells 5,000 yen. 6 games can buy back the cost of a game console. You said that this game card is made in the end.
And now for Nintendo, their dilemma is also reflected on the game card.
Assuming that Nintendo and Sony will sell a game at the same time, the platform and third -party game manufacturers expect the profits to earn 4,000 yen in this game, so do not talk about the cost of research and development of the game.
The cost of the stuck.
At this time, PS is generally used as the carrier of the game, and Nintendo still uses its own card belt.
At present, a top game masterpiece is generally about 500MB-1GB. Even if it is placed on the handheld, there is a size of 100-300MB, then it is calculated according to the minimum standards of 500MB and 100MB.
500MB For the CD, it is just the capacity of sprinkler. A CD is enough to install the entire game. The amount of the burns does not exceed 80 yen, which is probably less than one yuan.
And packaging and other costs, the production cost of a game card belt is at least more than 200 yen, so the price of such a game is 4,200 yen.
However, for the game card used by Nintendo, than the current technology, a 500MB game card belt costs at least about 1,500 yen, and then calculate various packaging costs, nearly 1,600 yen, then this copy, then this copy
The price of the game card is as high as 5,600 yen.
Then, the same quality game, players need to spend 1,1400 yen to buy the Nintendo platform game. At this cost consideration, either Nintendo actively reduce his profits expectations, or only increase the price, and then lose the market.
This is one of the reasons why Nintendo's continuous defeat since the rise of Sony is because the price of Nintendo's card is still high, and even surpass the price of the same grade of Sony games. Players will like Nintendo to have ghosts.
In fact, the whole Nintendo realized this, but because of the suppression of the tyrant in Shanye, no one dared to violate his meaning and development concept.
Iwada Ki knows that it is necessary to change the high -production cost of the Nintendo game card belt as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nintendo will continue to decline in the future competition, and even the destruction may not necessarily.
Especially the last handheld market of the wind port, it is currently facing huge competitive risks, but the handheld cannot use large storage equipment, and can only use advanced miniature storage chips to make card bands, which is even more increasing.
The cost of making a game card zone.
But the tyrant’s will cannot be changed. The only way is to reduce the cost of the storage chip. The problem was unsolvable. In the history of Nintendo, you can only keep the blind man in history.
Live.
However, Iwada found Jiangnan's storage chip, which made him find an amazing treasure.
Before they purchased a 100MB of storage chip, they needed a price of about 1,200 yen. But now, a 100MB of storage chip produced by Jiangnan is more stable and does not say, and only about 900 yen, which allows Iwada Cong.
