Super Tycoon

"How is it, everyone coming to Tokyo this time, how do you feel?"

After returning to the capital, Zhang Yang got together to chat with those agents who had gone to the exhibition.

"Mr. Zhang, the scale of this exhibition is too big. I thought it was just a video game exhibition, and it wasn't that big." Someone sighed.

"Yeah, who would have thought that there are so many game makers in the island country, more than in the United States. On the other hand, Europe seems to be similar to China, not particularly prosperous."

Zhang Yang smiled: "This is also related to the market. When the relevant market is prosperous, there will naturally be more people in this industry. Think about it, how many game companies were there in Mainland China five years ago?"

They thought about it, let alone a few, it seems that there is no serious game maker.

"This Tokyo Game Show can only be regarded as the second. The top in the industry is E3 in the United States, which is the grand event of the global game industry."

"You develop well. If there is an opportunity in the future, we in Huaxia will also hold a related exhibition and invite foreign companies to come to us."

Zhang Yang had this idea a long time ago, but it is a pity that Huaxia has not been a big market for a long time, and Zhiduoxing's quality is not high enough.

I don't know if there will be opportunities in the future, and whether China's restrictions on the game console industry will still be the same as in the previous life. Games are fun, but if selling games can earn a lot of foreign exchange, will this concept change?

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, I'll wait for your good news. Anyway, I have gained a lot of knowledge when I go out this time."

"Old Zhao, what knowledge have you gained? Is it in an izakaya or in Kabukicho?" someone joked.

"Didn't you go? I just didn't bring a camera, otherwise I'd take a picture of you dancing, and you'd still be twisting with others, tsk tsk~~~"

Originally everyone was talking about serious business, but suddenly the painting style changed and the atmosphere became more lively.

Everyone joked for a while, and seeing Zhang Yang remained silent, the atmosphere changed again.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard these days, go home and have a good rest. This time the N64 will not enter the Chinese market in a short time, which is also good news for us. But you can't relax, Sunny and Sega, etc. The company has intensified its efforts to develop China, everyone, don't forget the sales assessment of game consoles."

After reminding them,

Zhang Yang also went back to rest.

But two days later, he received news that Nintendo's N64 was listed in the United States ahead of schedule.

Nintendo originally announced that it would be listed at the end of September, and then it will be listed in Europe next year. But for some reason, it was suddenly ahead of schedule.

Although it is ahead of schedule and there are fewer pre-sales, Nintendo's sales are still very hot.

The sales statistics for the first week cast a cloud over the heads of all game console manufacturers.

...

The president of Sega, Nakayama Hiroshi, convened a temporary enlarged board of directors, and all executives were present. At the meeting, Nakayama Hiroshi was furious.

"This is your forecast report for Nintendo N64? You said that the sales volume will not be stronger than our Saturn, and the home game console market is saturated. What is the result?"

"In our island country market, Nintendo has sold more than 2 million units, and the sales volume continues to grow, and the popularity continues for a long time. Entering the American market, the sales volume reached 480,000 units in the first week, and the sales curve is constantly growing. In just two weeks, their sales will exceed one million units!"

"Before you told me that our game consoles are not selling well, not because our configuration is not high enough, nor because we have too few good games, but because of the price."

"Okay, I agree with the price cut. Sales have indeed picked up, but what can we do? As soon as Nintendo's N64 came out, our products fell into a slow market. How can this be explained?"

"Okawa, Ruzuo Zhao, you two explain to me!"

These two are the two successors Zhongshan Chengxiong trained for the company. One can serve as the president (chairman) and the other can serve as the president (president), or the company has established a dual-track system for president and CEO.

"President, we are indeed at a technical disadvantage. However, our products can continue to cut prices. As for games, as long as we merge with Bandai, then everything will be fine." Isao Okawa stood up and answered.

"You are responsible for the merger with Bandai, right? Tell me, when will there be results? If Bandai is unwilling, we can find other companies to cooperate."

"It's progressing very well and has reached the substantive stage. At most one month, we can make an official announcement."

Okawa Isao's words finally made Nakayama Takao smile. If they merge with Bandai, they will own many precious animation copyrights, develop games, and they will definitely sell well.

And some of their games can also be animated, and they can get a share of the income.

...

On Suni's side, the game department is also in a meeting. The 3D selling point they used to be proud of has become a joke under the performance of the Nintendo N64.

What's more, Nintendo's game console is also equipped with the same new game controller as Zhiduxing G, plus fun new games, which has attracted countless players.

I heard that in the second-hand electrical market, their game consoles are very popular. Many people have sold their game consoles and bought new Nintendo products.

"Nintendo's listing in North America is still very popular. The sales of all our game console manufacturers combined may not be as good as Nintendo. What are your strategies?"

Someone immediately said: "I think we should cooperate with Zhiduoxing, because Nintendo's controller is almost the same as Zhiduxing G's. The two parties will definitely file a lawsuit. We can support Zhiduoxing and obtain the authorization of this technology at the same time."

"Very good, is there any more?" This method is good, you can try it.

"I think we should talk to Nintendo's third-party game companies again, and strive to bring in more companies. Nintendo is too strong, and they must have complaints."

"If we have the most games for players, then we must be the best game console on the market, because it is more fun and people will not get bored."

...

Zhang Yang also got the sales statistics of Nintendo in North America at this time, and it was listed in advance, and the sales were as good as in the previous life, and it might even become better.

Nintendo is worthy of being the overlord of the game console industry at this time, and those who sit on 32-bit game consoles will suffer. It is estimated that some companies will upgrade their products, and some companies will sell their products at a lower price, but no matter what they do, they cannot compete with Nintendo.

Just because you can't compete for the time being doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future. We have to find a way to win over more game developers from Nintendo.
