Super Tycoon

Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Tokyo, held the first Tokyo Game Show today. The number of exhibitors set a new record for all game shows in Tokyo.

Zhang Yang did not work in front of his own company's booth, but went in from the door to visit the booths of other companies.

He quickly discovered a very interesting scene. The best booth at the Tokyo Game Show was not Nintendo, the global game leader at this time, but Sunny's.

It is rumored that Souni's executives have a good relationship with the organizer of this video game show, and privately sponsored a large amount of money, and helped contact many companies.

Nintendo is more proud. Who would dare not invite Nintendo to any high-end game show, video game show, etc.? None of it would be complete without their Nintendo participation.

So Nintendo is not too enthusiastic about this matter, which led to Nintendo only getting the second place. This made the representative of Nintendo a little annoyed, secretly decided not to participate next year, to teach this exhibition a lesson!

The booth that Zhiduoxing Company got was neither good nor bad, it was considered as the second-tier booth. The venue is not too small, and there is a discounted price.

Ordinary companies come to participate in the exhibition, the price is not cheap. If you have no money, it means that your company is not strong enough and you are not qualified to participate in the exhibition.

He has also seen many North American and European game companies, including companies such as Blizzard.

The exhibition is divided into several areas, the first area is game consoles, the second area is arcade games, the third area is computer games, the fourth area is video games, the fifth area is handheld games, the sixth area is The first area is peripheral products.

Zhiduoxing naturally has booths in all areas, because they have all the products.

This time, there are more than 200 exhibitors, more than 1,000 booths, and the target audience can reach 100,000 people.

The total number of participants can certainly exceed this figure, but it also includes some company staff, exhibition staff, and related media personnel. The number of tourists and visitors is not particularly large, after all, this is only the first session.

The first day is a professional visit day, there are no tourists, only representatives of various companies and related media, so the number of people is not particularly large, and it has not yet reached the point of crowding.

Zhang Yang unexpectedly discovered that Atari also came to participate.

Atari, which has already belonged to JTS, even sold its game subsidiary to Zhi Duoxing, and even came to promote their jaguar.

Zhang Yang couldn't figure it out, JTS sold Atari's game copyrights, why are they still making game consoles? Game consoles can't make money, even if they sell well, it's useless.

I went to inquire and found out that Atari still has a lot of jaguar in stock. JTS originally wanted to upgrade the product to become a real 64-bit game console, but found that the product they made was still defective. It's not as good as the N64, not even Suony's PS1, so why bother upgrading?

They came to the exhibition this time because they wanted to cooperate with some game companies, hoping to sell Atari's Jaguar project. For this reason, they can also get two products that have just begun to be designed and are still in theory.

One of them is the same as Nintendo's VB.

At the beginning, Atari wanted to see if VB could be successful. If it was successful, they would immediately launch a similar version, which would be able to bring the dead back to life. It's a pity that even the leading VB failed, and they didn't dare to start this project again, and they really couldn't afford it.

Zhang Yang originally thought about buying Atari's game console technology, but after thinking about it, it wasn't necessary. In fact, some designs are already lagging behind, and he bought them to improve Zhiduoxing, and it may disrupt the development of Zhiduoxing.

Going forward, there is Bandai's PP game console booth. This is the same as Atari, hoping to sell some and get back some of the capital, otherwise it will have to be dismantled and recycled parts.

Zhang Yang saw many game console brands that he hadn't noticed before, and the performance of the game consoles was also uneven. But the best performance is still Nintendo's N64.

Zhang Yang even found that many media people were trying to play the N64, and of course they were all media people from outside the island country. After all, this product has been launched in the island country and has received countless praises.

Sega, Soni, Songxia, and Zhiduxing's game console booths were surrounded by many people, but none of them cared about the performance of these companies' game consoles, after all, they already knew about them.

What they care about is, when will these companies' next-generation game consoles be launched?

Sega immediately gave an accurate answer: "We are developing a 128-bit game console with more perfect 3D functions and more fun games. It is expected to be completed within two years. Please look forward to it."

Sega also learned from Nintendo. Nintendo skipped 32-bit game consoles, so Sega skipped 64-bit game consoles and went directly to 128-bit.

As for games, they are still in contact with Bandai, trying to persuade Bandai to merge with them. Both parties will benefit from each other.

Bandai has contacted many companies, and the closest ones are Sega and Namco, among which Namco only makes game consoles.

However, Bandai is worried that after merging with Namco, it will continue to be checked and balanced by Nintendo, or it will have to join Suuni's camp, which Bandai is unwilling to do. At least in terms of animation and figures, Bandai is also the world's top.

Moreover, this time Bandai failed to cooperate with Apple on game consoles. Many people in the company did not give up. They still want to try the game console market again. If this is done well, it will also greatly promote their game sales.

Sega announced plans for a new game console, but Songxia remained silent. Because 3DO company is full of conflicts at this time, except for Songxia and AT\u0026amp;T, other companies actually support 3DO company to change careers to develop games, and EA company takes the lead.

When developing games, Songxia’s hardware advantages will not be fully utilized. They have planned that if 3DO continues to insist, then Songxia will withdraw from this company and try to buy the related technologies of 3DO game consoles, and Songxia will make it by itself in the future. Game console!

Old opponent Suuni can succeed, why can't they?

Souni also announced that their next-generation game console plan is on the agenda and is under research and development, and the specific time to market it is to be determined.

Because the sales of Souni’s other products are getting better and better at this time, and they have updated the production line, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the price of hardware is falling. Souni plans to lower the price of PS1 again from the end of this year to the beginning of next year. At the same time Use more funds to acquire game companies and game copyrights.

The media finally turned their microphones on Zhiduoxing Company. Others have new product plans. How about you Zhiduoxing?

Sun Tengfei announced into the microphone: "Our Zhiduoxing company will launch a new game device by the beginning of next year at the latest, and this device will become popular all over the world again!"
