Chapter 383 Why do you buy a host?

So, the media I came to today is still very obedient.

"After a certain employee of ours seems to have revealed that ours will take extremely preferential measures for players who have always supported us. I can now say that this is accurate. Before our external press conference, this preferential measure was in preparation."

At the beginning, Mark Seni said the topic that those present were most concerned about.

Then someone couldn't wait to ask about the specific measures of Mars Entertainment. Of course, the main reason they asked was how much reduction in the discount for Mars Entertainment this time compared to Sega's direct price reduction of 50 US dollars.

It is true that no discount measure can be directly reduced, which is indeed irrefutable. A price reduction of fifty dollars is fifty dollars, and everyone can see it.

Facing this problem, Mark Seney smiled slightly and said.

"We are using the old-for-new method to give back to our users. Any player who has purchased our dreambox console, whether it is new or old, can get our discount tickets, and the denomination of the discount ticket ranges from $15 to $60. That is to say, even if you are a dreambox console purchased four years ago, as long as it can still function normally, you can get at least $15. If you are a dreambox console I recently purchased, you may get a discount ticket of $60. This discount ticket will be effective when you purchase our new game console and the games we carry on the new game console."

Mark Seni had just finished saying this, and a buzzing sound broke out from the group of reporters at the scene. Obviously, they were discussing this matter, and they had never heard of the old-for-new thing before.

"So, Mr. Mark Seney, for players who have not purchased dreambox consoles before Anche? Do they have any discounts? You know, Sega's price cut is fifty dollars, but it is for all potential buyers..."

Soon, some reporters present discovered the loophole in what Mark Seni said just now, that is, this preferential measure - let's not talk about how this seemingly good discount measure will be really implemented. Just say that this offer is indistinguishable from Sega. It would be a bit petty.

That's why this reporter asked this question.

Mark Seni must have done his homework before this problem, because with the announcement of this measure, no discount measures for new users will indeed be criticized, especially those potential buyers.

So, after the reporter's question had just been asked, his face immediately became serious: "I am sorry, Mr. Journalist. We are a company that has been immersed in the field of electronic games, especially the field of home games for several years. We have been trying to give our players. The best gaming experience, whether it is our games or our game consoles, has always been a benchmark in the industry. No one can deny this."

What Mark Seni said is not wrong, but now it is not about which company has a greater influence in the gaming field, but about the preferential measures for new consoles, so this statement cannot convince these reporters.

Of course, Mark Seni wouldn't just say that much, it's just the beginning.

"To be honest, Sega's so-called direct reduction of 50 yuan has caused us a lot of trouble. You must know that because of the good cooperative relationship between our boss, Jester Lee and Hon Hai Precision, our production costs have always been the lowest among all game companies. We do not deny this, but the prices of raw materials are very clear. Even if we produce the prices at low prices, they will not be much lower. In addition, our logistics points and logistics warehouses throughout North America are completely incomparable to these other companies. So after discussion, we concluded that it is impossible to make a profit at Sega's price."

Mark Seney's tone was very disdainful, and he even continued in a contemptuous tone.

"Their malicious way of setting prices is despicable, and they are doing everything they can to seize the market. Regarding this, but I don't know if they have ever thought that the more they sell their hardware, the more they will lose. I'm not very clear. Since Sega is confident that they will make achievements in the field of home games, for example, in the arcade field, why don't they use this money to develop games? Instead of relying on games to attract players, they rely on this kind of evil way, which is just laughable."

This slightly charge and attacking statement instantly made the reporters present suddenly feel bad, because this is indeed the only magic weapon to increase sales or ratings. And it is certain that after they reported Mark Seni's words, according to Sega and Kusuo Koguchi, they will definitely start counterattacking in a targeted manner.

As for this kind of counterattack, whether it is a verbal or a practical action, in short, as long as they have reports, that is enough.

"If I were the person in charge of Sega, I would never have made such a stupid decision. Just imagine, what is the purpose of players buying a home game console? Can you answer this question?"

Although Mark Seni said this, he did not really mean to let the reporters present answer. After saying this question, he paused for a few seconds and immediately continued to speak on his own.

"Of course I'm playing games, there's no doubt that game consoles are different from TVs. You don't just need to turn on the switch and extend the antenna to receive programs, so any price reduction of the TV is worth it and is affordable - but, if you buy a game console, can you just need to turn on the game?"

As he said that, Mark Seni shook his head himself, his expression of disgust.

"We definitely don't sell game consoles to be used as decorations. To be honest, people who use games as decorations are also SBs, because relatively speaking, they are not a very beautiful electronic product. Although our industrial design department has made many beautifications and changes to this, they are still far from reaching the level of handicrafts... Game consoles are bought for games. Players will not buy your machine because your game console is cheap. They will only buy your game consoles because other game consoles cannot play games. That's it."

"To be honest, even if a game console costs only one hundred dollars, there is not a game worth playing. Will you or those players still buy it?"

"If you say you can, then I have nothing to say, because our thinking is not on the same level at all."

After Mark Seney finished speaking, the reporters present were silent again.

Because these words were too explosive, they did not expect that Mark Seni would suddenly mock Sega's core policies without any warning, and even said something that was extremely belittled by Sega's game.

"Mr. Mark Seni, can I think that your words are saying that Sega's game development ability is very weak, so weak that there is almost no game worth playing?"

The reporters were very excited and couldn't wait to ask such a question immediately.

"hehe."

Of course, Mark Seni heard the meaning of the reporter's words, but how could he be so stupid that he admitted it? He just smiled and said, "I don't mean this. I just said this an example. To give an example, we can't just look at whether a game console is worth buying from the price, but from the game."

"So do I think that besides this trade-in, Mars Entertainment has no price cut plan for dreambox2?"

The reporter immediately followed up on Mark Senni's answer.

Mark Seni seemed to have been unexpected to this answer. He pondered for a moment before saying, "In theory, I have no advice on the standard answer that this answer should be restored. This is also the standard answer for our countermeasures department when discussing how to answer the questions of you people. But I think as the second person of Mars Entertainment, I feel that this answer is not as good as that. If I don't know, then can you only ask Jester Lee?"

Speaking of this, Mark Seni's slightly humorous words immediately caused the reporters to burst into laughter.

Mark Seni also laughed, but just chuckled. After laughing, he continued: "So I can answer you this question. At least so far, the trade-in event is the only discount measure we have for the Dreambox2 console. As for whether there will be any discount measures for all users who like our games in the future? We are still discussing this, but from what I have learned at the moment, there are some, but the time is uncertain."

The media meeting of Mark Seney was not too long, and it only took thirty minutes from the beginning to the end.
