Chapter 1696

"We don't have a plan to buy Nintendo!" how long liangmujian knew Iwata Cong very well and Nintendo very well, so he looked a lot better when he spoke.

In fact, Takagi does not have plans to buy Nintendo.

Because if it buys Nintendo, it will cost at least more than $30 billion. Although Sony has money, it is not interested in spending $30 billion to buy a doomed company.

"What does your excellency mean?" Iwata Cong narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Then let me be frank. The purpose of my visit this time is to develop a product with Nintendo!" how long liangmu Jiandao.

"What product?" Iwata asked subconsciously.

"PSP!" how long liangmujian said with a smile.

"Chairman, Sony's PS2 sales are very strong. PS2 game sales have occupied one-third of the market share of steam game store!" Arakawa reported to boss Jia in Daqian game's office.

"Really?" boss Jia's expression was noncommittal, while Arakawa continued, "Chairman, now the whole game industry can be said to be PC games, console games and handheld games, which share the world equally!"

"However, with the launch of PS2 this year, Nintendo's N64 console has become more and more difficult to deal with. If Sony occupies the whole console game market in the future, it will become very difficult for us to achieve our layout!" Arakawa said.

Sony launched a new PS2 game console in early 2000, about February.

This game console has greatly improved its image quality and gameplay. Once sold, it is almost sold out. Even in November, nine months have passed, and the PS2 can't be bought in stock on the market. Even if players purchase through the steam game store, they need to wait for a predetermined period of at least three months.

Because of this, the PS2 console has almost killed Nintendo's N64. At the same time, the revenue in 2000 will at least exceed $12 billion, making countless gamers drool.

It can be said that if the steam game store was the most popular and lively product and war in 2000, the PS2 has been hiding in the dark and making a lot of money.

At the beginning, Sony's games cooperated with the steam game platform. Their game consoles, games and steam game platform can be sold directly. In addition, Sony and Daqian agreed that one is in charge of the host computer and one is in charge of the handheld computer, and the two sides cooperate to share the market equally. Therefore, Sony's PS2 developed very smoothly from the beginning, and Daqian didn't give him any trouble.

However, with the emergence of the box game store, Sony was the first to take all game consoles and games and switch to box games.

The most fatal thing is that when there are only more than 2000 franchisees left in Steam games, Sony games completely turned to box games, then withdrew all its game consoles and games from steam game stores, and reached an all-round cooperative relationship with box games.

Of course, the reason why Sony has so resolutely cut off the relationship with steam games is, of course, because Microsoft has paid a high price.

Microsoft first moved all of its only classic games, such as Empire era, into the PS platform. Secondly, it almost contributed all the resources of box games at that time to promote PS2, and Bill Gates himself appeared on Sony's E3 booth to promote Sony's platform.

Of course, the most important thing is that the subsidy of 20% off the sales of box games took effect for Sony's PS2.

In other words, the PS2 was directly sold at a 20% discount within two or three months of its listing, while Sony itself did not lose a penny, and all the subsidies were paid by Microsoft.

The direct result of this subsidy is the explosion of Sony's PS2, which has sold 12 million units in a month, making Sony earn money all over. Microsoft's tens of billions of dollars of subsidies consume so fast, which is naturally closely related to the subsidy of PS2.

Otherwise, Sony will not cut off its relationship with steam games.

However, when the box game showed signs of going bankrupt, Sony once again contacted the steam game for the first time and began to prepare and plan to re launch the steam game.

Considering that the steam game store can't live without the console game platform, boss Jia also recognized it with his nose.

Later, when the box game was over, Sony jumped out for the first time and returned to the camp of Steam games. Then, by the way, it ate another wave of oil and water in online sales and sold more than 2 million units.

This gave birth to PS2, which sold 21 million units in nine months, making PS2 almost dominate the whole host market as the king.

This made boss Jia very envious afterwards. Sony's repeated horizontal jump operation was too coquettish. Even boss Jia didn't have anyone else to coquettish.

However, it is precisely because of Sony's repeated horizontal jumps that Daqian is seriously dissatisfied with Sony. At the same time, after defeating the box game, Daqian has won the dominance of the handheld market and the PC market, so Daqian naturally takes a fancy to the last market, that is, the console game market.

If the console game market is also won, Daqian game will really traverse the whole game industry, which is almost equivalent to playing the game for a week.

"Therefore, chairman, I suggest that we should make corresponding preparations and never let Sony go on like this, otherwise Sony will betray us again sooner or later!" Arakawa told boss Jia.

In fact, Arakawa hated Sony the most. After all, Arakawa was also a Nintendo man and was born not to deal with Sony.

Secondly, Sony's PS defeated Arakawa in beimi market. Later, Yamauchi was more inclined to Iwata Cong, which had something to do with it. Arakawa wanted to beat Sony in his dream.

Now Arakawa has finally aimed at the opportunity. Of course, he will kill.

"This is our best chance. Daqian completely didn't expect that we, who have been immersed in the great success of PS2, will directly launch PSP to compete with them in the market!" how long liangmujian had uncontrollable excitement on his face "Mr. Iwata, the reason why Nintendo has come to this point is actually Daqian's fault. It is Daqian's ban on you. After all, we Sony can not get involved in the handheld market and destroy your GB!"

"So let's work together to run PSP. This is our only chance to overthrow the tyranny of Daqian!"
