Chapter 1033: Sony in action
Although Sony and Daqian used to have a very unpleasant quarrel, but this is all in the past after all, Sony has basically given up the VCD business, and the two sides have no point of entanglement of interests, hatred or something, and naturally fade away.
After all, whether Sony or Daqian, it is a business, for a company, the most important thing is naturally profit, as long as it can obtain profits, these are easy to say, all hatred can be forgotten, of course, all friendship can also be discarded, anyway, you can make money.
And Daqian's game,That's really profitable,Since the release of N64,Sony's PS has ushered in the worst off-season since its release,Sales per month are only more than 100,000 units at most,And the previous highest monthly sales of more than one million,It's a world of differenceγ
After all, Sony has only sold 8 million units in a year and a half, while the N64 has been set for 8 million units in three months, which is too big a gap.
The elites of Sony Games naturally have to analyze the reasons, analyze and analyze, and one of the biggest reasons is the games under Daqian Games.
In the last two days, Daqian Games has completed an amazing counterattack, not only completely dominating the PC game, but also won the second best-selling game on the console, according to the analysis of the elite of Sony Games, if all the games under Daqian Games can log in to the PS console, then the PS console is expected to exceed 10 million units in a short period of time.
Not to mention that with the popularity of WCG, Daqian Games has recently started to ship like crazy, and the sales are amazing!
If you could port a PC game like Diablo to the console, that's ...... The bigwigs of Sony Games wiped their saliva on the floor.
But this is also to think about it, although Sony can forget hatred, but people don't necessarily forget hatred. Besides, with the good cooperation between Nintendo and Daqian, and the huge impact of the change of platform, Sony is just thinking about it.
But now, with Nintendo and Dache inexplicably turning faces, Sony suddenly felt that their opportunity had come, and they found Daqian for the first time, expressing their willingness to work hand in hand with Daqian to create a better future.
And Sony's arrival, unsurprisingly, was welcomed by Daqian, Sony's representative even met our boss Jia, the two sides negotiated behind closed doors for two days, and when Sony's representative left Daqian, his expression looked a little strange, but also a little excited, and Nintendo didn't know anything about it.
Because now Nintendo is in a state of being full of bags.
With Nintendo cutting off the sales of all its Daqian games, it is clear that Nintendo is going to sever relations with Daqian Games, and when Nintendo's N64 is likely to be unable to run Daqian games in the future, Nintendo wants to vomit blood.
N64, which had already exceeded 8 million bookings, lost nearly 1 million bookings overnight, and shrank by 3 million bookings in the following week.
In the end, 8 million N64s were cut in half, turning into 4 million N64 reservations.
The reason is very simple, because these 4 million people are all going to the game, for these players, if N64 does not support Pokemon and other games, then why do you buy N64?
What's even more embarrassing for N64 is that after N64 was released for 4 months, in addition to the three games under Daqian Games, there are only 5 games on the N64 platform, which makes many players ask, do I buy you a $200 N64 just to play 5 games?
And among these 5 games,More than half of them are very boring.,The only fun big games.,It's going to be all out.,What do you want me to buyN64.
Fortunately, most players have booked N64, so they don't even have to return the goods, just give up the reservation with the merchant. When the merchant saw that the market was like this, his confidence naturally collapsed, and he turned back to Nintendo to reduce his pre-orders, and there was a situation where it was cut in half in half in a week.
And the number of pre-orders is still decreasing, and it is estimated that unless N64 is releasing some exciting new titles, it will be difficult for N64 pre-orders to continue to rise.
Of course, this is not without benefits, the advantage is that N64 can be spotted immediately, after all the five million units of N64 are shipped, you can save about two million units, you can continue to sell for a few months, and there is no longer any production capacity problem.
It is said that Mr. Yamauchi did not come to the company for two weeks, and when he reappeared, his hair was all white.
Hey, after all, it's an old man in his 70s, and his hair should be gray.
And after coming back, Yamauchi Pu convened a meeting of all the backbones of Nintendo, at which the old man said that these problems are temporary, they are just labor pains, and the labor pains will pass.
Daqian is a cancer parasitic on Nintendo's body, and now that this tumor has been cut off, Nintendo may be in pain for a while, but what welcomes Nintendo is an infinitely better future.
Hearing the old man's words, all the Nintendo executives who attended the meeting applauded vigorously, and were said that what the president said was really right, too correct, pointed out the direction of their progress, and eliminated the anxiety in their hearts.
They will unite tightly in the leadership with Mr. Yamauchi as the core, unswervingly pursue the policy of Mr. Yamauchi, overcome the pains, and welcome the new future.
"Alright, let's go get ready for E3!" Old man Yamauchi sighed, and then asked his men to prepare for E3, this time Nintendo is also full of expectations for E3.
In order to save the plummeting sales of the N64, Nintendo has prepared a trump card killer move, which will be released on the E3, and Yamauchi believes that with the release of his trump card killer move, it will be able to bring little haze to Nintendo's N64 back to the top!

On August 1, 1996, the E3 Game Show continued to be held at the International Exhibition Center in Los Angeles, USA, and compared with the first E3, the second E3 once again had an amazing growth.
Although there were two pavilions in the previous 1st E3, the entire B hall was a large one, and all other game manufacturers were concentrated in Hall A. However, this time, although E3 is still two exhibition halls, Daqian only occupies a part of Hall B, and all the others are new game manufacturers to E3.
The number of visitors to E3 continued to increase, and on the opening day, there were 30,000 visitors, almost overwhelming the entire entrance. Although with the live broadcast of WCG, the game has become faster around the world, and the number of players has also increased, so the popularity has also increased.
It's just that this time, when the players entered the E3 exhibition hall, they found that they didn't know where to put their third hand, because as far as the eye could see, the entire exhibition hall was full of beautiful women wearing various game costumes and playing cosplay.
And these beauties all have devilish figures, angelic faces, elegant postures and momentum, and clothes that are already extremely cool, obviously they are all professional models.
These are all bad effects brought by Daqian, Boss Jia is such a bastard!
