Chapter 990 he has no courage

The forced ward of the third-party manufacturer facing Paradise was declared over with the tough handling of Yamauchi Hiroshi.

After the end, Iwada Satoshi found Hiroshi Yamauchi with some concern and said tactfully that Hiroshi Yamauchi's attitude should not be so tough, and perhaps he should be gentler.

"Gentle!" Yamauchi Hiro sneered, "These guys are like Edo geishas. If you are gentle to them, you will get nothing except spending money. But as long as you are a little more violent, they will take off their clothes and make fun of them. They are just such a bunch of bitches!"

Hearing his boss say such a dirty metaphor, Satoshi Iwada could only pretend that he couldn't hear it, and then he continued to worry, "If these third-party manufacturers switch to PS, we might really..."

"You don't have to worry, these guys won't turn to PS!" Yamauchi Hiroki began to laugh wildly and said confidently, "In a year and a half, PS has sold a total of 8 million units. And we ordered 5 million units in one month. Nintendo is still the well-deserved king of the console industry!"

"This is all in terms of order quantity, and even fools can tell it, otherwise those guys wouldn't have found me to force the palace. Didn't they just want a platform for CD and a platform, and would they take both?"

"Although I rejected them now, they will definitely continue to stay on our platform for the future revenue and sales of the game. They will have 5 million units a month. If I say it out, I don't even know why I reject Nintendo, hahaha!" Yamauchi Hiroshi was very proud.

"It's the president!" Hearing Yamauchi Hiroshi, Iwada Satoshi knew that he could not convince Yamauchi Hiroshi no matter what. Maybe he would be scolded by Yamauchi Hiroshi, so Iwada Satoshi chose to shut up his mouth on this matter.

"But President, there is another situation I need you to confirm!" Iwada Satoshi turned around.

"What's the situation?" Yamauchi asked curiously.

"It is the ordering situation of "Pokemon Gold and Silver". Not only has our N64 console already ordered 5 million units, but the ordering volume of "Pokemon Gold and Silver" also reached 5 million units!"

"This..." Yamauchi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this data. He ordered 5 million N64 units, and finally ordered 5 million copies of "Pokemon Gold and Silver". So doesn't this mean that all those who booked N64 will also buy a copy of "Pokemon Gold and Silver".

Think further, is it all because of the reason why N64 has such sales?

Well, I can’t think about this question too much. If I think about it, I will explode.

"How many reservations are there for our Super Mario 64?" Yamauchi asked instead.

"There are less than 2.5 million copies at present..." Iwada Satoshi said with his head down.

"Baga!" Yamauchi couldn't help but curse.

"President, I think it is necessary for us to win over Jia Yapeng. His and his games are very important to us now!" Iwada Satoshi continued.

"How do you want to win him over?" Yamauchi asked.

"Daqian Games' WCG, the global e-sports competition, will begin after the E3 game exhibition. We rejected him the last time, I think we can..."

"There is no need. We are also preparing for our own competition?" Yuuka Yamauchi refused without thinking.

"But our own game..." Satoshi Iwada was full of bitterness when he said Nintendo's own game.

Nintendo held a Nintendo Esports Competition in January 1996, using Nintendo's own games. They also said that this competition will be held as a global championship.

However, after just two games were held in Fuso, Nintendo completely gave up.

First of all, the competition organization ability is not good. Nintendo did not invite a special event company to organize the competition, but decided to go to it by itself, and then it was a tragedy.

The first thing is the venue issue. Nintendo decided to set up a gymnasium like Daqian to hold a competition, but the gymnasium in Fusang is more troublesome. It requires communication with the local government three months in advance and obtain permission and signature from nearby residents.

However, Nintendo only arranged a gymnasium two weeks before the game was about to begin, so it was a mess. He couldn't get a gymnasium at all. After the game started, he would be reimbursed because he couldn't find the venue for the game.

In the end, Iwada Satoshi came forward and used his connections to borrow a professional baseball team to play at home, but they only borrowed two days.

In other words, it only takes two days from the setting up the field to the entire game.

This is not the most deadly thing. The staff did not pay attention to the weather, did not even look at the weather forecast, and there was no plan for weather conditions. So when the competition began to rain heavily on the day of the competition, the final game could only be held in the rain.

It's fine if it's held in the rain. People can barely resist it with a raincoat, but various equipment in the open air cannot do it. After a busy trip, the competition finally officially started, but the equipment crashed due to water inlet, and the entire competition could not be carried out, let alone live broadcasts.

So Nintendo had no choice but to announce the postponement of the game, and then let the contestants who participated in the game in the rain leave the game themselves... Yes, Nintendo didn't care about these contestants. They came in the rain and left in the rain, without even a comforting gift.

In the end, seven or eight contestants even caught a severe cold because of being in the rain. Nintendo also didn't care about it, and didn't even act like going to the hospital for a glance.

This instantly caused all the players to burst into great anger. After the Nintendo game was re-convened two weeks later, only 10% of the players who registered for the competition had reached, and 90% had not come at all. The originally huge field was so empty that it was scary.

At the same time, Nintendo also ushered in a huge notoriety because of this competition. Everyone was slandering Nintendo, and the news media also complained in various ways, so that several manufacturers that were originally determined to sponsor temporarily withdrew their sponsorships and filed compensation from Nintendo. Because of Nintendo's bad behavior, the reputation of their brand was damaged. These were written in the contract and they could normally ask for compensation.

Anyway, Nintendo has basically given up on the idea of ​​having some e-sports competitions because of his poor performance in these two games. From January to now, he has never mentioned the need to engage in e-sports events again.

So Iwada Satoshi also proposed that he wanted WCG to win over our boss Jia. After all, Nintendo no longer wants to hold competitions, so it is a good choice to leave the competition to Daqian. This not only can win over Daqian, but Nintendo can also use the competition to attract the interests of young audiences and players.

Unfortunately, in Satoshi Iwata's opinion, this suggestion that is beneficial and harmless was still rejected by Yuki Yamauchi.

"We don't need to win over anyone!" Yamauchi said proudly, "Daqian and Jia Yapeng, as well as his "Pokemon", will only be with us Nintendo in our lifetime. Don't forget that he has signed a contract. If he dares to breach the contract and put Pokemon on PS, he will have to compensate 1 billion US dollars!"

He doesn't have the courage!
