By now, Lincoln had completely stopped worrying about the previous target of [6.5 billion users], because in his estimation, that target was as good as achieved!
It was time to aim for 7 billion! Even 8 billion!
...
Well, okay, 8 billion might be a bit far-fetched...
However, Lincoln wasn't without a plan to reach the 8 billion user mark:
If the new graphene chips are not mass-produced by mid-year, he plans to release the [Mirage 3.0] version, a combination of the "game console" and "eight sides headband", in advance. He would continue to implement the trade-in policy, selling the recycled [2.0] consoles at discounted prices to third-world countries.
The first-generation console was not sold at discounted rates because it was launched too soon, and the collectible value of the first-generation product made it more expensive than the second-generation.
