How is Lin Feng going to make money? This is not only what Iwata and Howard want to know, but also the representatives of major Japanese game companies who are hiding around are extremely concerned. For these game manufacturers, the "dream" handheld is so powerful that the performance of the developed handheld games may be even better than that of the PS2. Such a vast space for game development is a dream for all game manufacturers.
However, according to the past practice of the host market, any game manufacturer who wants to enter a certain game platform to develop games has to pay a lot of "joining fee", which is also to ensure the profits of the host manufacturer. After all, sometimes the mainframe doesn't make money, it's the game software that makes money. And Lin Feng's "dream" is not only not making money, but also losing a lot. In order to make ends meet, you have to make money on software. Then we have to find these game manufacturers to charge high "franchise fee" and profit sharing.
How much does Lin Feng want? If you want more, I'm afraid no game manufacturer would like to. After all, no matter how good a game is, its sales are limited, unless it's all Super Mario games that sell tens of millions around the world. But this kind of game, even Nintendo itself is just a few, it's impossible to say that you can make it if you want to. Then, high franchise fees and profit points are unacceptable.
Many game manufacturers are thinking about it.
Hum! Hum—— Iwata's heart sneers. He can't be more clear about what these Japanese game makers think. At the beginning, it was agreed that Lin Feng would be boycotted collectively, but in the face of such a broad development prospect of "dream", I'm afraid that except for a few big companies that have hatred with Lin Feng, such as SEGA and skowell Enix, I'm afraid other game companies are all excited.
But in the case of Yantian Cong, Lin Feng is bound to charge a very high "franchise fee" and "profit sharing". Otherwise, he will not be able to maintain the balance of the account. That's equivalent to Lin Feng opening a company that swallows money. No matter how rich Lin Feng is, this kind of company will never last long. But if Lin Feng charges a high "franchise fee" and "profit sharing", he will dig his own grave.
Wool comes from sheep. In the end, the game makers will count the money on the players. Now the price of ordinary games in Japan is between 1xxx-3xxx yen. Only a few blockbusters sell for more than 4000 yen, but the most expensive is 4980 yen. According to Iwata's inference, the lowest price of the game "dream" is likely to exceed 4000 yen, and the blockbuster will even reach 6000 yen or 7000 yen.
So expensive game, ha ha, I'm afraid few players will play. What's the sales volume? Dream! Of course, I'm afraid it will be a long time later. After all, it will take at least two months for game manufacturers to join "dream" and develop games. During this time, "dream" can only be supported by the games developed by itself. Judging from Lin Feng's character, I'm afraid that the price of the game will not be high. It will attract players with low price, boost the sales of "dream" and create a sales myth. This has always been Lin Feng's favorite.
Hum, then I'll see how you cry—— Iwata sneers. At that time, the players will complain when facing the sky high price of the game and the poor game. At that time, he would like to see how Lin Feng ended up!
"Cong Iwata, it seems that Lin Feng has entered a dead circle. Unless he reduces "joining fees" and "profit sharing", "dream" will become the biggest bubble in history. Howard also strongly agrees with Iwata's point of view, "but if it's lowered, the second game won't make money. If you can't make money, you can't run the company. Ha ha, this is a dead cycle Howard had a good laugh.
At the moment, the two were calm“ "Dream" is good, but it's too far ahead. After all, it's a handheld, not a mainframe. The mainframe can be sold more expensive, but the handheld can't.
In the center of the stage, Lin Feng smiles. He knows that there must be a lot of people from Japanese game manufacturers around here. They are all concerned about their next problem. Lin Feng believes that his next answer will surprise everyone.
"What I'm going to say next may not have a direct relationship with the players on the scene, but it has an indirect relationship. That is, with regard to the so-called "franchise fee" and "profit sharing", the "dream" will adopt a minimum charge of 5% Lin Feng explained with a smile, "that is, the" franchise gold "is cancelled. Any game manufacturer who wants to join" dream "only needs to give 5% of the sales of each game to our company as a profit sharing gold."
5% - it's like a bolt from the blue.
It should be noted that the "profit sharing" of "Nintendo" and "Sony"'s mainframe and handset is as high as 15%. Of course, some big companies will charge a low fee, but the lowest fee is almost 10%. The 5% charge of "dream" is too low, which is not decent. Moreover, there is no "franchise fee", and both Nintendo and Sony have to charge high franchise fees. Except for those famous game manufacturers who can reduce the "franchise fee", the rest of the game manufacturers are not immune.
Many game companies are in a bit of a turmoil. If they only charge 5% of the "profit sharing fund", then they can consider whether to develop games for "dream". Although they are Japanese manufacturers and are hostile to Lin Feng, there is no reason why they should not make money. What's more, when Microsoft's Xbox entered Japan, the major Japanese game manufacturers also called for a boycott of Microsoft. As a result, there were not so many game manufacturers developing games for Xbox, including some well-known game manufacturers.
This time, these small game manufacturers will not suffer such losses. When it's time to make money, you have to make money. Otherwise, after the village, there will be no temple.
Lin Feng glanced at the representatives of the game manufacturers who had been showing their feet for a long time and gave them a smile.
"As for why is it indirect to all players? In fact, if our company asks game manufacturers to charge less, their development costs will be cheaper, and the price of natural games will be lower. In this way, it is also in disguise for the benefit of the player. So here, I appeal to all game manufacturers that the price of the game should not be too high. The so-called "small profit but quick turnover, cheaper, players buy more. In fact, the profit is the same." Lin Feng said slowly.
Now, all the players started clapping. Although these players are still quite dissatisfied with Lin Feng's involvement in the Japanese Prime Minister's election campaign, they are still very comfortable with Lin Feng's favorable words. They have to admit that Lin Feng is too generous compared with the greed of Nintendo and Sony. Moreover, as the management side, it even called for price reduction, which is not seen by other game console manufacturers in Japan.
Baga—— Iwata and Howard's face changed immediately. Lin Feng's move is tantamount to putting "Nintendo" and "Sony" on the fire. This move is too vicious and directly wins the hearts of all players. After all, for the players, Lin Feng is not involved in the Japanese Prime Minister election and their relationship. Anyway, this kind of political game is also a place for those big people to compete. For ordinary people, it's just a play. For players, it's better to play a few fun games.
But the game costs a lot of money, and it costs a lot of money (there is no piracy in Japan). Therefore, many players in Japan try their best to play a game before they change the game. After all, it was bought with a lot of money, not free in China. But no matter how funny the game is, it's boring after playing for a long time. Therefore, if the price of the game can come down, it will definitely be a blessing for Japanese players. Naturally, I have a good feeling for Lin Feng. And "Nintendo" and "Sony" who only want to make money will undoubtedly become negative teaching materials and the target of criticism from players.
"Mr. Iwata, how can he make money when he charges such a low profit share? Is he really going to spend tens of billions of dollars a year to keep the company running? " Howard couldn't believe his reasoning.
Iwata's face is grim at the moment. He didn't know how Lin Feng was going to make money? Now, it is impossible for Lin Feng to make money from his "dream". You can't make money on hardware, you can't make money on game software. With so little profit sharing, how can we make money. Is he really going to smash the market with money! It's not impossible. For example, "Microsoft" spent 1 billion. But according to Lin Feng's plan, I'm afraid ten billion dollars is not enough!
Is he crazy? Is he really here to give back to Japanese players?
Lin Feng smiles mysteriously at the place where Iwata and Howard are invisible. As soon as these two guys entered Ueno Park, Lin Feng knew. But Lin Feng is too lazy to point them out. They don't want to peek. Let them peek. Today, Lin Feng will take this opportunity to defeat their confidence. In the future, we will use our strength to completely destroy them.
As for not making money, losing money? This is not what Lin Feng wants. No matter how rich Lin Feng is, he will lose tens of thousands of yen for each one sooner or later. Therefore, there are three ways for Lin Feng to make money: first, selling games. Indeed, the game "profit sharing gold" Lin Feng's revenue is small, only a mere 5%, there is no "franchise fee", but Lin Feng has always been interested in small profits but quick turnover, as long as the sales go up, a little bit less, but more naturally considerable.
What's more, what Lin Feng values most is his own game. This is the real money! Dream, for example, now has three main games. Lin Feng believes that with these three main games alone, he will be able to earn back the money lost by each "dream". Of course, the premise is that each machine will buy these three main games. However, Lin Feng believes that Japanese players will definitely buy it( It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (Qidian.
