Chapter 133 37. It caused tons of blows to Ren Tiantang!

The sales curve of the game "Pokemon" is not understood by the editors of Famitong, and even other competitors in the industry cannot understand it.

Masashi Miyamoto, the producer of Square's "Final Fantasy" series, is a senior turn-based RPG game research and development expert. After experiencing Pokémon, although he received a lot of inspiration, his final feeling is actually similar to that of Famitong's editors.

"Pokemon" is not particularly outstanding in turn-based games. Apart from the special online battles and exchanges, other places are very confusing.

"If the plot has no plot, the battle is not deep and strategic enough, and the growth dimension is relatively single."

Pokémon's pet growth is mainly about level growth and evolution.

Relatively speaking, in other games, not only have their own level growth, but also their job transfers and various equipment... those turn-based games are already quite mature in this regard.

Not only does it have personal growth, but also team growth and team member matching.

In some games, the durability of weapons and equipment will even appear, which requires players to carefully calculate, cultivate and combine. Although it is not a cute series like Pokémon, it also has the depth and breadth of cultivation.

By comparison, Pokémon has done too simple in all these aspects.

"But...how can such a game have such a terrible sales result?"

And it's the kind that jumps at two levels, like jumping on the steps.

Such a curve is really unheard of.

But, this is a new change. Although Pokémon is very alternative, it gives people a great impact.

Miyamoto Masashi thought, maybe he would make the world bigger in the future, and would be a good idea to give players higher degrees of freedom like Pokeni's "Onmyoji" and add more cultivation elements.

Maybe it will be the trend of the times, and it may not be certain.

Capcom's Tsuji (shí and Ishi) Moto Kenzo was also very impressed. Although he couldn't figure it out, he still felt that the game Pokémon has infinite potential.

“Pokeni is really awesome.”

Two years ago, no, a year ago, this company was not famous and could not enter the vision of big game manufacturers.

After all, Neon is a paradise for games, and now is the era of the blowout of neon games.

In such an era, there are hundreds of new game companies established every year, which is a bit like China around 2010. Everyone knows that games are particularly profitable and can also withstand risks.

Especially after the economic bubble burst, games are one of the few industries that can go against the trend and can achieve rapid growth under such a bad environment.

So everyone wants to get a share of the game industry, and there are countless companies created every year.

Of course, there are countless game companies that go bankrupt every year.

Some companies go bankrupt without even hearing about their names.

In such cases, few people will notice some small companies unless the game produced by this company is very distinctive.

Pokeni is such a company.

It was not until Diablo came out that Kenzo Tsujimoto noticed the company.

Now, while Pokémon has made him focus his attention on pokeni, he has also had many ideas.

A terrible premonition that had never been seen before was like a terrifying claw, firmly grasping Kenzo Tsujimoto's heart.

"Pokemon can jump out with such a result, and maybe the future can become a terrible weapon to shake Rentian."

Once this idea comes out, it will be completely uncontrollable.

Kenzo Tsujimoto instinctively smelled the breath of the future.

Before Pokémon, major game manufacturers tried every possible way to launch phenomenal game products that are all ages to fight against Rentian.

For example, Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega.

It was completely created by the company to fight against the existence of Super Mario in Rentian.

However, the very popular all-age game that can truly shake Ren Tiantang is really not found so far.

However, Ren Tiantang has always surpassed himself and innovated himself.

From Super Mario to Zelda, to the new work "Star Kirby" released in April this year, people realize that Ren Tiantang has absolute authority in creating happiness for children.

So many game developers have long given up on the idea of ​​fighting against Ren Tiantang.

It seems that all ages, the Zi Suo can match Ren Tian, ​​and such a game cannot exist.

Even if it exists, it must come from Ren Heaven.

Kenzo Tsujimoto almost forgot about such a thing-

Any game is created by humans, and the guys in Rentian are also humans, not gods.

Until now, I saw Pokeni's Pokémon

Kenzo Tsujimoto felt that even a god would eventually die.

The Pokémon game is covered by all ages, from primary school students to adults, and the Pokémon designs are varied and extremely rich, which can be said to be suitable for both young and old.

With the deep love of the cartoon, this game seems to have the possibility of shaking Ren Tian.

When he thought of this, Kenzo Tsujimoto couldn't help but feel excited.

This feeling is very subtle, like seeing the future dragon slayer, about to start a big battle with the evil dragon.

...

At the end of the first month, the sales of Pokémon had exceeded 500,000 copies.

Very terrible results, so terrible that countless colleagues almost lie on the ground to watch it.

Immediately afterwards, it broke through the 1 million mark in the second month and became Pokeni's second million-level game.

The sales of the two versions of "Pokemon" Fire Red and Leaf Green are amazing, with sales of 544,000 yuan and sales of 512,000 yuan.

And it is still growing continuously.

Pokémon's sales were so good, and it was sold out for a while.

Many people even predict that Pokemon may become the first ten million-level product of Pokeni.

"Pokemon" game has exploded, and it has also driven the sales of Sega's new handheld consoles. You can even say it shamelessly-

Sega GP's sales growth is completely driven by Pokémon.

This game is definitely the biggest dark horse this year, and the popularity of Pokémon cartoons and advertising can basically establish its throne as the sales champion this year.

Because the production speed of gaming consoles is not as fast as the cassettes.

What led to the situation later was—

This year, Pokémon's cassettes were sold at a faster rate than Sega GP's sales.

Game consoles, cassettes and various peripheral products were directly revitalized by Pokémon.

As a result, pokeni's income also rose.

The profit alone exceeded 10 billion in less than two months.

...

In the first weekly issue of the magazine Guolotong in October, it published a new topic-

[Sega GP joins forces with Pokémon to launch an impact on the throne]

In this special topic, Guolotong explains a series of butterfly effects that have occurred in the handheld console market in recent times with the release of Sega GP.

First of all, the release of the Pokémon game. Although the results seemed not particularly ideal at the beginning, it eventually achieved a leap in quality and directly achieved sales of one million.

At the same time, Pokémon is also pushing Sega GP all the way.

Sega handheld machines have been released for more than 1 million units so far, and the momentum is very strong.

Color screen game consoles have become the favorites of players because of their lightness, smallness, sustainable charging, and Pokémon's exclusiveness...

Even if you meet a player with a handheld console on the street, they will feel that the future handheld console must be a color screen game console.

Although Sega GP's market share is still very low, this gaming console has infinite potential.

At the same time, many game manufacturers seem to have seen opportunities from new handheld consoles and want to join the game.

For example, Korami is already trying to transplant the previously developed games to Sega GP.

Capcom has also entered the game...

It seems that after "Pokemon" won a beautiful victory, it was like pulling the first domino, triggering a series of follow-up effects.

As long as Sega joins pokeni, there seems to be nothing that cannot be done.

They will definitely be able to attack the throne of the handheld machine.

According to data survey and evaluation analysis by Guolotong, the sales volume of Sega GP is likely to become the world's number one sales handheld in two years.

Although he did not name who the throne belonged to, it was basically not much different from the ID number of Zhuan Rentian.

"Damn it! What's the report? Are you talking wildly like this?!" On Rentiantang, Yamauchi was furious when he saw the latest episode of Guoletong.

Minister Yokoi Junhei, the R&D department, dared not speak out.

Because this time it was like being slapped in the face naked and being beaten to the point of being slapped.

"Didn't you assert before that color screen game consoles cannot become mainstream?!" Yamauchi turned around angrily and pointed his finger at Yokoi Junhei.

After watching the Chicago Electronics Consumer Exhibition in June, this guy came back and said shamelessly—

There must be problems with Sega's new GP handheld.

Ordinary batteries cannot be carried at all. As for lithium batteries, who can guarantee that there will be no problems with Sony's newly developed things?

In fact, Yokoi Junhei saw it very clearly at that exhibition that the first GP had already had problems during the Sega demonstration, but it was cleverly covered up by Tom Klinsky.

Yokoi Junhei felt that if this is true, then let them sell it.

If something goes wrong then, you will only lose even worse.

But now this is not the case.

Although Sega GP has a battery life of only about 4 hours, it is not the opponent of Rentiantang GB's 15-hour battery life, but they can charge it.

Moreover, color screen game consoles really have the advantage that black and white screens cannot resist.

All of these have made Sega's GP successfully stand at the forefront of Sina of the times.

Coupled with the recent media fanning, Sega GP sales are so good. What’s even more annoying is that with the help of "Pokemon", the situation is completely different.

If pokeni’s previous games were suitable for older children and adults.

Then this time I directly killed the basic board of Ren Tiantang.

"What about the answer?!" Yamauchi's eyes sterned.

Yokoi Junhei was so scared that his fingers trembled.

"President, this is all my fault. I have failed to accurately judge the situation."

"Of course it's your fault!" Yamauchi yelled loudly.

He felt a surge of blood and blood surged, and his mind couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Yokoi Junhei quickly stepped forward and tried to hold Yamauchi's hand.

But he opened it with a snap.

Yamauchi held his forehead and took a few deep breaths, finally eased it down.

"So, Yokoi San, what will you do next?" Yamauchi Hiroshi sat back in his seat, staring sharply at the development department director in front of him, the company's chief hardware engineer.

From this matter, Yamauchi Hiroshi has deeply realized a very serious problem-

Ren Tiantang’s hardware development capabilities are not as good as Sega.

Now Sega has a Sony to support it later.

"Before this, did you know there is something called a lithium-ion battery?"

Yokoi Junping's face turned pale, nodded, and shook his head again.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know the specific production."

When Hiroshi Yamauchi almost laughed when he heard this.

"Yoki Kun, do you know what it means to have serious decision-making mistakes in Rentian?"

Yokoi Junhei felt that his back was wet and he was sweating coldly.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is known as an iron-fisted tyrant. Anyone who he thinks is not good will be kicked out of the company one by one.

Even a veteran figure like Junpei Yokoi made half of the country and made great contributions to Rentian. In 1996, his previous life, he resigned and left Rentian because of a mistake in his decision-making.

That time it was because of the failure of VR BOY.

It's exactly the same as this time.

The difference is that VR BOY is because the design concept is too advanced, and the market has not yet made the game console, and it has not been recognized by players at all. There are very few games on VR BOY.

This time, GAME BOY is too backward in design, and the new market should obviously be the color screen handheld machine market. Although Sega GP is far from reaching the level of GB handheld machine status, there is also a vague trend.

As long as Sega GP is added a little more, Yokoi Junhei can get out.

"People who are incapable are not worthy of this position," said Hiroshi Yamauchi.

"President..." Yokoi Junhei was about to cry.

"So, let's talk about your next response plan." After all, he was the founding veteran of the company, and Hiroshi Yamauchi still planned to give him a chance.

Yokoi Junhei was ready before coming to the president's office today.

Now that he heard Hiroshi Yamauchi's words, his heart was finally relieved.

At least President Yamauchi still needs him now.

Yokoi Junhei took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and said seriously, "My suggestion is to win over other game manufacturers and not let them invest in Sega's new handheld console."

"Will it?" Yamauchi frowned.

When does Rentian need to rely on third parties?

"The most important thing about game console war is game war," said Yokoi Kohei. "The most profitable game in Sega GP is Pokémon now, as long as... we can win over pokeni..."

"Impossible!" Yamauchi Hiroshi interrupted his advice with a firm determination.

When he thought of that boy Qing Zhiyuan, Yuuchi Yamauchi became furious.

The one who really should bow his head is Qing Zhiyuan, right?

Such an rude boy.

Are young people so arrogant nowadays?

"Then, it's just to make concessions to third-party developers. The commission for Sega handheld machine is 20%, and our side is 30%..."

"no."

Yokoi Junping didn't finish his speech, but was interrupted by Yamauchi again.

“GAME BOY is still the highest market share now, and there is no need to give concessions to these guys.

Yokoi, do you know?

As a king, once you retreat, countless enemies will bully you." Yamauchi shook his head, "The more you are in this situation, the stronger you should be. Show our determination, otherwise others will think we are afraid.

Once doubt appears in people's hearts, they will collapse quickly."

Junpei Yokoi stared at the old man in front of him for a long time.

The expression on Yamauchi's face changed, and he became more and more like an ancient king.

It naturally creates a sense of fear.

Although he was a little confused instinct, Yokoi Junhei finally believed President Yamauchi's judgment.

"The future game console war will definitely be dominated by TV." Yokoi Junhei said with his neck, "Although Sega's new GP handheld has many advanced technologies, the final battle is still on TV game consoles."

SFC is in good momentum now, and it has re-beats Sega's MD in the neon market and has taken over the dominant position.

"As for the handheld console, I will find a way to discuss with Philips and the others to see if I can develop lithium battery-related technologies by myself, and the color screen handheld game console will also be put on the development agenda."

Hearing this, Yamauchi Hiroshi's expression calmed down a little.

"Yeah. That's it."
