Shortly after the launch of the "Zodiac Guardian", Moya Technology's new handheld machine was officially launched online.

This handheld console is named MGC2, which means the second generation of MobileGameCube. At the same time, a large M logo not only highlights its "Mobile" (movable) but also highlights the logo of Moya Technology.

There are three first escort games.

The first game is "Endless Tower" developed by a game company in China. It is an RPG game from the perspective of God. It mainly uses tower climbing as its main gameplay and matches the game content of the brush, which is very suitable for playing on the handheld console anytime, anywhere.

The second game is "Dream Home" developed by a Western game company in the second zone. It is a simulation management game. It mainly unlocks various areas of the home through some mini games and carries out planning and simulation construction, which is also more in line with the characteristics of handheld consoles.

The third game is "Dark Dawn" developed by JAGames, another Western game company in the first zone. This is a regular Western fantasy theme RPG game with a shoulder-side perspective. There are more than ten large scenes and more complex boss battles in the game.

When Moya Technology finalized these three games, it obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Among them, JAGames, the developer of "Dark Dawn", has strong R&D capabilities. As "Dark Dawn" is about to be launched, Moa Technology spent a huge price to buy the game "Dark Dawn" exclusive on handheld consoles.

A one-month limited-time exclusive investment was directly invested 15 million, and this was the price under various complex terms.

Compared with Zhong Ming’s offer, 15 million seems to be quite cheap. After all, JAGames is a big manufacturer and is famous all over the world. How famous is Wei Guang Studio? The two cannot be compared.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Although "Dark Dawn" was developed by JAGames, it was not made by the company's strongest project team. Lin Xiaoguang has watched and played the quality of the game. Compared with the 3A masterpieces of first-class manufacturers, there is indeed a big gap.

Otherwise, it is impossible to buy a limited-time exclusive for 15 million yuan.

But then again, there are actually no good ways to do this here. There are better works, but they can’t afford them at all. Many good works are being snatched by several companies, and the quotations are also priced at 30 to 50 million, or even hundreds of millions. Moya Technology has this money, so it cannot be spent like this.

Because Moya Technology, including Lin Xiaoguang, is actually not very sure about this handheld console. I bought a game's unique player and spent 50 million or even hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result, I only sold 50,000 or 60,000 units. Isn't that losing all my pants?

What's more, many better masterpieces are actually developed for the functions of mainstream host equipment. This handheld machine may require some performance to be castrated when running. Those well-known game manufacturers are unwilling to cooperate at all, so the negotiation is very difficult.

Therefore, these three first-time escort games are already the limit that Moa Technology can withstand.

Of course, in addition to these games, Moya Technology also has some other games, such as some bracelet games developed by Huaxia Company, or previous generation transplant games, etc. From the perspective of the game library, there are quite a lot of them, but there is not even one that can be played.

Only these three games can be more promising.

...

These days, Lin Xiaoguang hasn't had a good sleep and is very worried.

The MGC2 handheld machine has also had many twists and turns from project establishment to research and development, and has been worried about the overall design to the procurement and quality control of various components. It can be said that this handheld machine is the key to Moya Technology's turnaround in the field of hosting. If it gets cold, it will basically have one foot out, and it will be difficult to come back.

Lin Xiaoguang looked at the data provided by his employees. The global reservation data for MGC2 handheld machine was over 60,000.

There is still some gap between him and he imagined, but it is barely acceptable.

Lin Xiaoguang's expected first month sales volume is 100,000 units, which is the world's total.

The expected sales volume is actually not high. After all, many popular hosts in many developed regions have 200,000 to 300,000 in the first month of sales in just one region, and the global sales are all for millions.

The global reservation data is only 60,000 units, which is really a bit shabby. Even the bracelets of some second-rate bracelet manufacturers in China can easily sell this sales.

What's more, this is the number of reservations accumulated after Moya Technology invested a lot of advertising in the early stage and promoted the advantages of its handheld machine. To put it seriously, next month, sales will probably be lower, and it will be lighter if you cut it in half.

With such appointment data, Lin Xiaoguang must not have a good sleep.

However, it is not at all irreversible. At least after the release, players will get the machine and play it, and then experience the escort game. The reputation may be counterattacked.

If everyone is satisfied with the game and the performance of the handheld console is really good, then maybe the sales volume will be gradually increased in the future, and these may not be certain.

...

On April 10, Moya Technology's MGC2 handheld machine will be officially launched!

On the day of the release, Moya Technology placed advertisements on many shopping websites and invited celebrities to endorse it, which made a lot of trouble.

Within a week after the release, Lin Xiaoguang has been paying close attention to sales data and the evaluation of this handheld on the Internet.

In terms of sales, in addition to the more than 60,000 people who made an appointment, many people did choose to buy it. Overall, it seems that there is still a chance to achieve the goal of 100,000 units in the first month.

What Lin Xiaoguang did not expect was that the online evaluation of this handheld machine was not very good!

"I received the goods. The quality of the machine itself is good and the feel is good. I feel that all the configurations are OK. I feel that the above game is not very playable. I have played three games a day and I feel that I have no motivation to touch it again. I feel that I will be in a premonition."

"Dark Dawn" is said to be produced by JA, but it really feels boring to play. It may be that the handheld screen is too small, and on the other hand, I have to read every time I change the picture, which is very easy to get sleepy. However, "Endless Tower" is quite fun, and it is good to have a little fun as a game to pass the time."

"Yes, I think "Endless Tower" is good. Although it is not nutritious, it is not tired of playing. Maybe it is the only game on this handheld machine that I am willing to open and play."

"Is it too much for you to say "Dark Dawn"? I think this game is actually OK. If it is posted on other console platforms, it is still good if it doesn't read it for so long."

"Did you just ignore "Dream Home"? I think this kind of casual game is pretty good, it suits my taste."

"Dream Home? Are there fewer similar simulation and casual games on the bracelet? I specially bought a handheld console for a handheld game to play this?"

Lin Xiaoguang made a few random comments and felt a angina pectoris.

The situation is not good!

When I saw the players’ ratings of these three games, I felt even colder.

"Endless Tower", 7.5 points.

"Dream Home", 6.8 points.

"Dark Dawn", 6.9 points!

Unexpectedly, "Dark Dawn" with high expectations only got this score, even worse than "The Endless Tower".

In fact, strictly speaking, the quality of "Dark Dawn" is definitely higher than this score, but many players who come to this game are very disappointed and have scored low scores, so the rating of this game is very low.

Because most of the people who came for the game "Dark Dawn" are veteran console players, and they have one or even two mainstream consoles at home, and they are used to watching the characters' hair on big TVs.

Although this handheld console has a 4K picture, such a small screen is far inferior to a TV with a sizeable wall. Moreover, the function of the handheld console is limited after all, and it is loaded. The host may be fooled by a piece of handheld computer directly using a cut-scene real-time calculation. If the performance of the handheld console is not good, you have to read it.

By reading the bars, the player's mentality will easily explode.

After all, what era is this? Technology is so developed, and you can use reading bars to load the map, which is very low!

What's more, "Dark Dawn" is not the work of JAGames' core team. It has a name that many players come here to see it. As soon as they get started, they feel that they have been cheated, so they retaliately give bad reviews.

After a few moments, the handheld scores also lowered!

On shopping websites, many of the negative reviews under the handheld console are in this style:

"The machine is pretty good and the logistics is very fast, but the game I brought is not very fun, so I'm going to send it to my friend."

Lin Xiaoguang felt tired after seeing it.

Who can withstand this?

The thing that I worry most happened. The machine had no big problems, but it was dragged down by the exclusive game!

After all, handheld consoles are different from bracelets. As long as the bracelet is skilled, there is no inappropriate situation for the game. Moreover, many people buy bracelets just for office use, and playing games is just an auxiliary purpose. But the only value of handheld consoles is to play games. If there are not a few fun games above, who would buy them?

Lin Xiaoguang called the assistant next to him: "Have they replied to the revisions given to JA?"

The assistant hesitated for a moment: "Reply. However, Mr. Lin, their intention seems to be, don't change..."

"Don't change?" Lin Xiaoguang was stunned. "The agreement stipulates that they must cooperate with us to optimize the game, so how can they not change it?"

The assistant replied: "The other party said that the optimization stipulated in the agreement is to optimize the game performance to ensure that the game can run smoothly on our handheld consoles. The optimization we proposed involves the underlying architecture of the game and the basic gameplay design. If the changes are too much work for them, and... they said it is meaningless."

"Then let's find the Legal Affairs Department!" Lin Xiaoguang was very angry.

The assistant said timidly: "I have looked for it. The legal department's opinion is that the winning rate of the lawsuit in this regard is indeed not large, and it is not worth the loss if you offend JA, a big manufacturer..."

“…”

Lin Xiaoguang was speechless.

As soon as the handheld was released, Lin Xiaoguang collected some players' strong opinions on "Dark Dawn", saying that the reading time was too long, which seriously affected the game rhythm, and in some combat designs, it was obviously cutting corners, so it was very dissatisfied.

Lin Xiaoguang asked someone to sort out these opinions and wrote a revision to JAGames, hoping that they could optimize "Dark Dawn" in subsequent versions, especially focusing on solving the problem of too long reading.

As a result, JA ignored it at all!

The reason for JA is also very good. We have moved "Dark Dawn" to the handheld platform according to your requirements. It does not stutter and runs normally. As a result, you let me remove the reading bars as much as possible??

If you read for a long time, it means that your handheld machine has no function. You don’t have such a long time to read for other hosts!

JA is also a big factory. Although this game was made by a small project in a big factory, if it is really tear it up, it will be really hard to deal with.

Lin Xiaoguang was very desperate.

But, there is nothing to do.

...

The other side.

Everyone in Weiguang Studio is also paying more or less attention to the performance of the MGC2 handheld console.

"It's not good. I feel like the handheld machine is a bit cold." Jia Jia said.

Although there is no specific sales data here, if you look at the major shopping websites, look at the evaluations under the products, and then look at the online discussion of this handheld machine, you can basically guess it.

"What should we do? Otherwise... let's hurry up and get out of here before we sign the contract." Zhou Sen said.

Obviously, seeing this handheld machine performing so poorly, everyone is afraid of being dragged down.

According to the current trend, MGC2's first month's sales are expected to be in the order of over 100,000. Next month, the development of "Zodiac Guardian" will be completed, and sales data will be released next month. By then, the MGC2 handheld machine sold around the world will be expected to be in the order of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

Even though Moya Technology is still constantly launching new games for this handheld console, the escort games are so cool, and it is difficult to make any big improvements in the future.
