The update and iteration speed of gaming equipment is quite fast, and even many excellent products that were once smash hits will gradually fade out of everyone's field of vision under the baptism of time. However, at some point, through the influence of human factors, some old equipment can burst into new vitality. For example, if you change your appearance, you will increase its value by a hundredfold.
Recently, a middle school student posted on the Internet a variety of equipment in the school's "emotional catharsis room", including intelligent hitting catharsis instrument, intelligent shouting catharsis instrument and somatosensory interactive cognitive training instrument. Among them, a device called an intelligent interactive catharsis device has attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
This machine with the skin of the classic multimedia device (gray metal case) is actually a Wii game console released by Nintendo in 2006, and it is also a cracked version. On the black body, the white "Wii" logo has not even been erased. Turn on the device, and it is also using various Wii systems and related games.
At the current market price, a Wii device costs only a few hundred dollars. If you choose a second-hand cracked version, you can get it at a price of 300 yuan or even lower. After this incident was exposed, the school's purchase order was also picked up by netizens.
It is reported that the school purchased a series of high-tech "emotional catharsis room" supplies from a company, with an average price of about 50,000 yuan. Like the smart interactive catharsis device mentioned above (cracked Wii+ display), it is worth 46,000 yuan. Compared to the price of the Wii console itself, this is a 150-fold increase.
As for why the Wii game will become an intelligent interactive catharsis, it still has a certain relationship with its own gameplay. Compared to other types of gaming devices, this device, which was released 18 years ago, has already added the concept of "controlling games with the body". And when there is a certain element of movement, the operator does not look like he is simply playing a game.
Nintendo's subsequent fitness ring is somewhat related to the Wii's operating mode. As for the epidemic period, the fitness ring has doubled its value to become a "financial product" because of its own home exercise attributes and production capacity.
The Wii console has not become more valuable because of its age, but has gradually withdrawn from the market. At this stage, the school has not responded to the situation of the intelligent interactive catharsis. But as bidders, the companies responsible for supplying the equipment have already attracted attention. It is believed that after this incident, the industry will pay more attention to the procurement of equipment.
So what do you have to say about it?
