Super Game Empire

"Sorry, President Yang, President Zhongshan, I want to ask, how did Sega learn about this news?" Ken Kutaraki didn't dare to be careless and asked cautiously.

Yang Yun blinked: "The one who knows you best is your former competitor - Sega. Director Kutaraki, don't think about it. Nintendo has started cooperation with Philips, and you Sony has been fooled!"

What?!Kutaraki Ken was shocked, but he still kept a little vigilant and calm, and left with guilty guilt. He needed to confirm with the relevant departments that Yang Yun’s news was too shocking.

"Help me contact President Hiroshi Yamauchi, I have something to ask him!"

After the operator called Nintendo, he only received unfortunate news - Hiroshi Yamauchi went to Chicago, USA to prepare for the Chicago Home Appliances Exhibition.

Ken Kutaraki pondered for a while and continued to instruct: "Ask President Oga to see if something went wrong with Nec."

Unfortunately, I also received another unfortunate news from Oga Nobuo's secretariat, and Oga Nobuo is not in the company either.

Ken Kutaraki pressed his temple hard, and he was about to be driven crazy.

Playstation is a machine that Sony's gaming department has exhausted its efforts and is full of confidence.

This machine is not the PS that was sold later, but the SMFC-compatible CD-ROM machine. It is codenamed PS1 within Sony. There is also a PS2 solution, similar to Macintosh computer.

As the head of the game development department, Ken Kutaraki has great confidence in both machines. Ps1 cooperates with Nintendo to perfectly combine games and multimedia. Ps2 cooperates with Apple to bring players who like multimedia to the game.

Sony Entertainment transfers.

This is Sony's best solution. Nintendo and Apple have both become Sony's software suppliers. Sony controls the hardware supply of two large enterprises in one fell swoop, so that it can be invincible and become a first-class standard setting

Those!

But if things really are the same as Yang Yun said, Nintendo betrayed Sony and turned to Philips' arms, Sony can't even walk on the first step, how can the one behind it go?

Before returning to the office, Kenko Kutaragi cheered up and sorted out his appearance. He sat in front of Yang Yun with his expression unchanged, and asked calmly: "I don't know what President Yang said just now that Sega was just Sony's former enemy. Could it be that,

Sega is going to work with Sony?”

It only took ten minutes from going out to coming back. Yang Yun believed that Ken Kutaraki would still be in a mess.

He smiled and said, "Secretary Kutaraki can think slowly and discuss with President Oga Nobuo before making a decision. Sega is willing to cooperate with Sony. You should be very clear that with Sega's current momentum, in the TV game console market,

We will no longer be afraid of Nintendo. We will split the market equally with Nintendo and even surpass him, which is the case in the past or two years."

Ken Kutaraki could only agree with a few dry laughs, and after saying a few polite words that were not painful and polite. Both parties said goodbye and left.

Back at Sega, Shikio Nakayama never figured it out. His heart was full of mystery. He asked: "Yang Nintendo abandoned Sony and turned to Philips. How did you know about this? I didn't receive any similar news!"

Yang Yun rolled his eyes. He could not say that he was a reborn person, but with the strategic department led by Yang Zhan, he said: "President Zhongshan, after I invested in Sega, I was always thinking about Sega's future.

Way out. In the beginning, Sega just wanted to build itself into a professional game company and use industry-leading hardware technology to show its professionalism. It struggled tenaciously under Nintendo's pressure, which in my opinion was quite stupid

, , is like taking chronic poison, and will be forced to death by Nintendo sooner or later.

So I brought a lot of game software to erode Nintendo's game market bit by bit, and use the popularization of software to promote Sega hardware. This idea is actually exactly the same as Sony's idea. Sony also hopes to use Nintendo Games.

to promote his hardware facilities.

The computer industry is a new industry. In order to promote their respective hardware facilities in large quantities, companies such as Nec will make compatible machines, and different computers can use the same software, which is very helpful for initial promotion.

However, Nintendo has dominated the game console for so many years, and his consistent strong and hegemonic ideas will certainly make other companies uncomfortable. Hiroshi Yamauchi never thought of being compatible with such things.

Sony is one of the uncomfortable companies. The two cooperated with the CD-rom version of SFC. Sony, which controls the CD-rom standard, hopes to grab a part of the profit from Nintendo. Nintendo refuses, which is normal, and this thing is

My subordinates have reported to me, so you don’t have to make a fuss.”

Shizuo Nakayama was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly realized that he was really short-sighted compared to Yang Yun!

He only wants to continue to innovate in the hardware test department. As long as nec continues to provide them with the latest and best electronic components, Sega only needs to create hardware advantages and proudly announce to the gaming industry that he is the hardware leader.

That's it.

But he never thought too much about software. He couldn't make games like Pokemon, games like famous generals Round Table Warrior and King of Fighters. He couldn't dig Square from Nintendo's camp, and he couldn't get it.

The copyright of the Legend of Heroes by Pharaoh Control has never thought about the popularization of software to drive hardware sales.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Sega being overwhelmed by Nintendo. Now that Sega has become a subsidiary of Longteng, Zhongshan Hayao's intention to innovate is even weaker, because Yang Yun has done so well, all the company's games

The projects are basically controlled by Longteng and Fengyun, and he doesn't need to think about anything else.

Shizuo Nakayama sighed: "The world belongs to young people and ours, but in the end it is still to young people. Yang, you think too far-reachingly! I admire your foresight."

It’s the development trend I know about later generations!

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Nintendo does not have the compatible temperament of nec, so we will take over. Sega has always been a recipient of other hardware manufacturers. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to become a hardware maker.

President Zhongshan, Sony is not born to make precision electronic instruments. Is it best for us, Sega, to take the opportunity to enter the hardware market? Not to mention anything else, if Nec collapses or stops supplying us for other reasons, we

How to deal with it?”

He didn't say one thing, although he was unwilling to admit it, the cassette game was really outdated.

Nowadays, piracy is everywhere. Japan has it, and China is a concentrated area for piracy. In addition, the increasingly expensive electronic components and the increasing R&D costs, the cassette game can still be prosperous for two years.

After coming out, you will slowly decline like an old man in the evening.

If Sega wants to survive, it must plan this market a few years in advance!

Nec's mega-cd is destined to be unable to compete with Sony's cd-rom, which has been verified in real history.

Whoever sets the standards will be the final winner!

...

...

In another place, there was also a huge dispute within Sony's game department. Some people underestimate it, some cursed it, some were indifferent, and some were sarcastic.

Ken Kutaraki felt agitation in his heart, and he thought of the embarrassing situation he encountered in Sony's Supreme Council.

The founder of the company, Shaofu Morita, is proud of designing and manufacturing precision consumer electronic products. He started with the Tokyo Communications Research Institute, starting with the production of transistor radios, TVs, video recorders, walkmans, music, movies, such high-quality fast

Consumer products are welcomed by the whole world.

In 1989, Mitsubishi Group purchased the Rockefeller Building in the United States, which caused a sensation around the world. Sony also spent $6 billion to buy the film and music department of Colombia CBS. From this we can see how much financial resources they have!

The game department has no product of its own at all. The only CD-rom standard that can be used is the results of Sony's music department. Ken Kutaraki really has no status in Sony's company. At the beginning of its establishment, he received many people.

The sarcasm.

Regarding the possible betrayal of Nintendo, Ken Kutaraki has already obtained the exact answer by pointing out the news about Philips. Sony and Nintendo have really broken down!

Then the PS1 and PS2 project plans, which cost 1.5 billion yen, are now in an embarrassing situation.

Keep doing it, without the support of the host, Sony has the cd-rom standard, but nothing can be achieved.

Giving up, Ken Kuroki is unwilling to accept it. He will be even more unable to raise his head in the company. He is unwilling to accept it!

Those who were understatement said directly: "1.5 billion yen? Even a decent store in Ginza cannot afford it. There is no business worth more than $50 million, so it's better not to have it!"

This is Sony's heroic spirit. 1.5 billion yen is only more than 10 million US dollars. It doesn't feel a pity at all!

The sarcastic people are even more polite: "Are you sure this toy that provides children with entertainment and time to pass the time really necessary to appear in Sony's product catalog? How much profit can it bring to us? 1 million, or 2 million.

Dollar?"

Many people cursed Nintendo's betrayal, but as Sony's teacher in CD-rom technical standards, Sony employees rarely have dissatisfaction with Philips, and all hatred is concentrated on Nintendo. Some even released the exaggerated acquisition of Nintendo.

suggestion.

The most indifferent group of people are, and the department of gaming, which has no future benefits at all, has any connection with their TV, music, and entertainment departments?

Ken Kutaraki was attacked from all sides, and he made a decision! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
