Resource Tycoon Reborn

At the beginning of 2001, Sega Corporation's new console "Aquarius" was officially launched for sale. Compared with the release times of Sony's PS2 console and Microsoft's X-Wave X console, it was right in the middle.

As soon as "Aquarius" was released, it gained popularity in the market with its excellent performance and rich game varieties. From its release to the last day of 2003, "Aquarius" has sold nearly 70 million units worldwide.

, setting a new sales record for Sega Co., Ltd.'s home game console. Although it has not exceeded the record of over 100 million PS units, it is not only recognized by people from Sega Co., Ltd., but also the society that "Aquarius" has sold over 100 million units.

It should be just a matter of time. And because "Aquarius" was quickly handed over to Deguang Electronics Group for production in China, the manufacturing cost was quickly reduced. By May and June 2002, "Aquarius"

The production cost and selling price have basically balanced, and by the end of 2002, "Aquarius" has become profitable. And ensuring that the production of the console is profitable so quickly also makes Sega Corporation improve its profitability.

, beating out Sony and Microsoft, and this is very important in today's game industry environment!

Sufficient profits, in turn, ensured that Sega Co., Ltd. had enough funds to invest in the research and development of new consoles. In fact, when "Aquarius" officially decided to mass-produce, the research and development of new consoles was started at Sega Co., Ltd.

It unfolded quietly - it was great to be sitting at the top of the industry, but the pressure from behind also made everyone at Sega Corporation dare not be careless in the slightest.

Since Sony's PS2 console was released nearly a year earlier than the "Aquarius", coupled with the residual prestige of PS, the first console in the history of home game consoles to sell over 100 million units, the sales volume of the PS2 console is only less than that of "Aquarius".

"Aquarius" is slightly less than 3.2 million units. Although the sales volume of the last launched X-Wave

Neither Co., Ltd. nor Sony dare to slack off at all - Microsoft can really afford to lose money. The annual profits from computer operating system software can completely guarantee Microsoft's "small" losses on home game consoles. Although

This "small" amount of loss is enough to ensure that 99.9% of the companies in the world will go bankrupt as a result!

These days, the pressure in Uda Naka's heart can be said to be increasing day by day. The news coming back from Sony and Microsoft prove that both companies are actively developing a new generation of home game consoles, and the new generation of home game consoles are

In terms of major performance, compared with the current home game consoles, there will be a qualitative leap! If Sega Co., Ltd. cannot complete the final version of the new console in time, Sony and Microsoft will seize the opportunity.

It is not an easy thing to recover it.

Moreover, in May, Sony and Nintendo publicly announced at the E3 game show in the United States that their new handheld consoles would be officially launched this year. This undoubtedly put great pressure on Sega Corporation in the handheld console market and further compressed it.

Sega Co., Ltd.’s share in the handheld console market. If we ignore the strong strength of Fang Family Capital and look at the company’s own strength alone, Sega Co., Ltd., which is the industry leader, has the worst ability to withstand risks.

1. Whether it is Sony or Microsoft, home game consoles are only part of their huge businesses.

Thinking of this, Uda Naka couldn't help but feel resentful towards Fang Mingyuan. He is the major shareholder of Sega Corporation, and he has an eye-catching relationship with Sega Corporation's main competitors, whether they are Sony or Microsoft. Not only does Deguang Electronics Group also take over Sony's

The games produced by Gamestation and Square Enix are also multi-platform. The two parties also have cooperative relations on many other projects. If Fang Mingyuan can devote all his resources to Sega Corporation,

If Sega Corporation was leaning towards it, why would I be as worried as I am now, for fear of being surpassed by Sony and Microsoft?

However, he only dared to express his resentment in private. Although he had a relationship with Uda Mitsuri, strictly speaking, after the shocking wedding ceremony on the Australian island, Uda Nakaya

He was already regarded as Fang Mingyuan's elder, but as Fang Mingyuan grew older, Yu Tianzhong felt that standing in front of Fang Mingyuan, he might not be able to have the status of an elder in this life. Although Fang Mingyuan had a good temper, at least he did not see it.

Although Fang Mingyuan looked furious, but as soon as he was glanced at by Fang Mingyuan's slightly serious gaze, he felt as if he was facing his elders or superiors, and he unconsciously held his breath and sat upright.

Especially now, his feeling is even stronger, not only because the global hit of "The Matrix" has allowed him to see Fang Mingyuan's ability to make money again, but also because he knows that Gamestation Company and Square Enix

The reason why the company was able to stand out among the Japanese game production companies at this time was largely due to Fang Mingyuan's guidance. Not only did he cut off many ongoing and planned projects of the two companies,

They also exerted influence to make the games of the two companies tend to be sports games and war games. The result is that while other Japanese game companies are losing ground in North America and Europe, the market shares of Gamestation Company and Square Enix are as stable as Mount Fuji.

.Now there is a trend of further expansion.

This time, when he met Fang Mingyuan, he said that he would fight for better conditions for Sega Corporation no matter what. He could not let Sony and Microsoft climb on top of him. Uda Naka was thinking wildly here, but did not notice the rest.

The door of the room was opened from the outside, and then Fang Mingyuan, Lin Rong, and Utada Masamitsu, the president of Gamestation Company, walked in.

"Cough!" Utada Masamitsu coughed lightly, which woke up Udazaka, who subconsciously jumped up from the sofa.

"Chairman Uda, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Please take a seat." In any case, Uda Naka can be regarded as his elder, and Uda Naka has always cooperated well with him. Fang Mingyuan can grasp Sega.

Co., Ltd., Uda Naka was indispensable. Therefore, even though it was official business, Fang Mingyuan also used honorifics.

The four of them sat down, Udokuni Masamitsu's assistant brought tea to the four of them, and then they withdrew and closed the door.

After some courtesy, Fang Mingyuan quickly got to the point. First, Utada Masamitsu reported to Fang Mingyuan the performance of the gamestation company in the first half of the year. Due to the presence of Uda Naka, many things were discussed briefly. Then the topic became very

We will soon turn to the cooperation between Gamestation Company and Sega Corporation. After all, Sega Corporation is a company controlled by himself, and Fang Mingyuan still does not want its position in the home game console industry to be shaken.

"By the way, I heard that Sony is going to release a new PS2 console. It is only a quarter of the size of the old PS2 console and only larger than a DVD disc box. Is this true?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered, the new PS2 console

Of course he knew about the console, but Sony was able to shrink the PS2 console to this level in 2004, which undoubtedly demonstrated Sony's world-class craftsmanship and design level.

Uda Naka and Udokuni Masamitsu glanced at each other, and Uda Naka said: "We have also heard about this news. It should be true. It is said that Sony plans to launch it sometime in the second half of the year." The emergence of the new PS2 console has a great impact on Sega.

Co., Ltd. is also a challenge.

Japan is a country with a small land area and a lack of resources, so Japanese people generally prefer small and exquisite items that occupy a small area. If the new PS2 console can really be reduced to the level promoted by Sony, it will definitely be in the market.

It caused a sensation among gamers. Moreover, this will also be of great benefit to Sony in reducing the manufacturing cost of PS2.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman Uda, when will the final version of Sega Corporation's new generation home game console be finalized?"

"The research and development work is nearing completion. If everything goes well, it will be finalized in August and ready for launch at the beginning of next year at the earliest." Uda Naka said quickly. At the same time, he took out the information of the new host from his briefcase.

Passed it to three people.

"At the beginning of next year, isn't it a little too early?" Fang Mingyuan looked through the information and said thoughtfully for a long time. How long did it take for Sega Corporation's "Aquarius" game console to start making profits? It was too fast.

The launch of a new console will undoubtedly affect the sales of existing consoles. Moreover, these game companies in Japan can be said to have just understood the performance level of the "Aquarius" game console. If a new console is launched at this time, the game companies will also

They have to adapt again. This also increases the burden on these game companies.

"Master Fang, both Sony and Microsoft are developing a new generation of home game consoles, and we must rush to release them before them." Uda Naka said immediately, "Besides, we can sell both consoles on the market at the same time.

A way to gradually expand the production share of new consoles."

"The finalization of the new console is slightly pushed back. During this period of time, let the developers think about how to reduce the size of the console as much as possible! Even if it cannot reach the level of the new PS2 console, I hope the gap will not be too big.

Obviously!" Fang Mingyuan said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
