Arcades around the world are actively purchasing them.
Ten days later, Wujiang Group sold 400,000 arcade machines and 2.11 million exclusive arcade game cartridges.
Revenue reached $1.8 billion (arcade games) + $844 million (game cartridges) = $2.644 billion.
50% of the profits belong to Wujiang Group, since the production cost is very low and Wujiang arcade games have achieved complete localization.
Other arcade game companies would never have such high profits, at most 30%.
...
In the 1980s and 90s, internet cafes didn't exist yet, so arcades were extremely popular!
Competition among arcade games is naturally quite fierce.
With the launch of the Wujiang arcade game, arcade giant Sega has been the most affected.
Sega arcade machines can certainly have game cartridges replaced, but staff need to disassemble the arcade machine.

The emergence of Wujiang Arcade has almost rewritten the landscape of the global arcade market.

Instead of confrontation, we should cooperate.
They can also publish arcade games using the Wujiang Arcade platform.
By eliminating the hardware development department and reducing various expenses, we were able to operate more efficiently and actually made more profits!
Nintendo is unwilling to cooperate with Wujiang Group because they are bitter enemies.
Sega makes both arcade games and home consoles, and has always been the third largest player in the Japanese gaming market. However, people only see the top two competing against each other, and nobody really cares who the third-place player is.
Sega is in an awkward position, but it has big ambitions.
It used to be a giant in the arcade game industry. But then Wujiang Group came along, and a whole host of game companies around the world fawned over it, rushing to cooperate with Wujiang Group. Sega was practically crying.
How did its reign as the arcade king disappear so suddenly...?
