Chapter 288

Nintendo has been dominating the home computer market with arrogant attitude and high royalty, which has always dissatisfied many third-party game companies.

And yadali's royalty is much lower than Nintendo's, which will undoubtedly make many game companies excited.

This time, the attitude change of the four major third-party game manufacturers, namely, klumet, nagomi, skowell and glory, has directly affected other game companies. For a time, more game companies find yadali and seek cooperation!

Nintendo suddenly has a sense of betrayal!

At this time, Sony also jumped out and announced the launch of Playstation in June 1994! Sony originally planned to launch it in December next year, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. If Atari is strong, if it doesn't act again, I'm afraid the market will be divided up!

Sony is confident to challenge Nintendo, because Sony's Playstation is much more powerful than Nintendo's SFC, and the games developed on Playstation will be more exquisite and excellent than SFC!

However, the Atari Jaguar was suddenly born. This game console is even more powerful than Sony's PlayStation. If it can occupy the market, how can Sony play?

No way, Sony can only rush to launch PlayStation.

Sony's participation makes the situation more chaotic. Sony is also a big company with strong strength, and it has also acquired many game companies. Nintendo can't help feeling that it is suffering from the enemy! In Japan, SEGA and Sony will challenge it; And the United States, yadali to catch up with it!

However, Nintendo is not a fuel-efficient light. All along, many big companies have challenged it, but what happened in the end? All fail!

Nintendo is still strong. They held a press conference, and its diplomats announced arrogantly that Nintendo will also develop a 64 bit home game console N64. If there is a third-party game company defecting to other game console platforms, it will not be easy to join the N64 platform. Ha ha, you can do it yourself

Threat, this is the threat of chiguoguo!

However, Nintendo's move did scare many third-party game companies.

Yadali Jaguar game console is a bull, but Nintendo is even more bull, long-term dominant position in the home computer market, invincible. Maybe SFC can't match Jaguar, but N64 can't match it. What if I stand in the wrong line?

For a time, the game company is very tangled!

Nevertheless, there are still more than 100 third-party game companies signed by adali! And they will transplant the game to the Jaguar platform in the next month!

……

……

December 25th, Christmas, is the most important holiday in Europe and America, and also the most crazy day for shopping.

At the moment, firefly game houses all over the world have lined up more than 20 meters long teams, becoming a beautiful landscape.

In addition, there are many reporters on the side of the road to line up for interviews.

ABC TV station also broadcast the grand event of firefly game house.

"When Christmas comes, what's the best gift for children? Ten years ago, we would have said, "it's Atari!" The host said, "now? Next, please watch the live broadcast of ABC TV all over the world

"Oh, what do we see? Firefly game houses all over the world are lined up with 20-30 meters long dragons. What are they going to buy? Yes, maybe you all guessed it! That's the Atari game machine

"Yadali Jaguar game console is officially on sale today, and countless game lovers can't wait to buy it! Yadali Jaguar is the most advanced 64 bit Internet game console, but the price is only $199. Oh, my God, I can't believe there is such a cheap price! But it's really that cheap! "

"According to our ABC TV station, the manufacturing cost of Atari Jaguar alone is $250, that is to say, every time Atari sells a game console, it will lose $51. If you sell 100 million units, it will lose $5.1 billion!!! Oh, my God, 5.1 billion dollars, that's astronomical Host voice and emotion, extremely excited said.

The audience in front of the TV set is excited. Isn't it a profit to buy yadali Jaguar?!

The supporter then said: "the seven first exclusive games of the yadali Jaguar game console are all classic and fun, and there is Pikachu's Pokemon! It turns out that many PET images in the world-famous Atari electronic pet are from Pokemon, but Pokemon is 100 times more fun than electronic pet! Wow, as a fan of Atari electronic pet, I can't help but want to play Pokemon now

Firefly game house's hot situation is surprising, at this moment, there are too many people want to know the sales of yadali Jaguar!

At 12 o'clock in the evening, yadali announced: "on Christmas day, the sales volume of yadali Jaguar reached 12.5 million units!"

As soon as the data came out, everyone was shocked!

Millions, they can imagine, but tens of millions, dare not think!

That night, countless people lost sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, newspapers and television media reported one after another.

"Terrible sales volume - 12.5 million units!"

"The return of the king, domineering show!"

"Nintendo is crying in the toilet!"

Yes, all of Nintendo's employees feel like they are facing the enemy. There is no pride on their faces.

Nintendo society long mountain Pu's face is more gloomy and terrible.

Now, the top management of the whole company is gathering together to discuss the countermeasures.

"The most urgent thing is to develop N64 game machine quickly, otherwise, the home computer market will be taken away by yadali sooner or later!"

"3D games have become a development trend, so the 64 bit yadali Jaguar game console has a great competitive advantage at present!"

"I think the SFC game console has to continue to reduce its price. Only in this way can we stop the Atari Jaguar before the N64 is developed!"

"Yes, even if SFC loses money, it can't make Atari bigger!"

Shannei Pu was silent all the time. After hearing what they said, he said: "just do as you say! First, recruit more technical talents to speed up the development of N64; Second, SFC game machine price reduction again, to carry on the heavy block to the yadali Jaguar

"President, how much has SFC been reduced?"

"SFC down another 49 dollars!" Yamauchi Pu said decisively, "we'll sell one for 100 dollars!"

People smell speech, can't help but take a breath, in this way, Nintendo is losing money to sell the machine!

After the meeting, Nintendo executives immediately announced that the SFC game machine price was reduced by $49 again, and the global retail price was only $100!

As soon as the news spread, many Nintendo game fans were overjoyed and rushed into stores to buy SFC. For a time, SFC sales increase!

And yadali Jaguar has been a severe impact, sales have declined. However, even so, the sales volume of yadali Jaguar is still considerable!

After Christmas, the daily sales volume of yadali Jaguar is between 300000 and 500000!

Although Atari Jaguar lost money, it made a lot of money through the game.

The price of each game is the same, 25 dollars a disc. Christmas promotion activities, free a game, but, you think, which player bought a game machine to play only one game, at least have to buy three or four games to play it.

With tens of millions of game consoles sold, more than 40 million CD ROMs can be sold, which can not only make up for the loss of money, but also make a lot of money. A game console usually takes three or four years. In such a long time, players will buy 20 game CDs!

And yadali just needs to build a good game console platform, and then sit and collect money. Moreover, with the reduction of production costs, even selling machines can make money in the end.

At this time, Nintendo announced that it was going to develop a 64 bit game console N64, which made Henry suddenly think that the N64 handle can be called the most important input device in the history of the game. It has three epoch-making designs: analog rocker, trigger button, vibration pack!

Thinking of this, Henry immediately called Ritchie Howard, CEO of adali company.

"Rich Howard, what do you think of the Jaguar handle?"

"Not bad!" Rich Howard replied.

Henry shook his head and said, "no, this kind of handle is too traditional to show the advantages of 3D games."

Henry carefully thought about the design of the N64 handle, and then said, "I think we can add an analog rocker on the handle. This analog rocker is different from the general rocker handle, but uses pressure sensing technology. According to the force of the player's push on the rocker, the speed of the character's movement in the game will change accordingly. When controlling the 3D game, This kind of pressure sensitive analog rocker's operability will appear extremely smooth. I think this kind of design can reflect the advantages of our yadali Jaguar 3D game! "

Rich Howard's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this.

However, without waiting for him to speak, Henry continued: "in addition, we can add a vibration package function in the handle. For example, when shooting, the handle will vibrate. Will it make the user experience better?"

"Yes Rich Howard nodded, "analog rocker and vibration bag are very creative designs, which will definitely be loved by countless players!"

Henry laughed and said, "if we want to develop vibration package, I know a company with this technology!"

Nintendo N64 uses the electromagnetic coupling technology of Alps electric company in Japan, but Henry has to choose another company.

Henry told rich Howard: "there is a tactile technology innovation company in the United States, immersion. I will immediately take a stake in the company and let it help us design vibration bags!"

Many people may not have heard of immersion, but it's a great company.

In 2002, American company immersion sued Sony and Microsoft for infringement of vibration design, claiming huge amount of money. Microsoft lost 20 million US dollars. Finally, it decided to take a stake in immersion. Sony, however, faced off in court for many years, was finally slaughtered for nearly $100 million! Adali does not want to be slaughtered in the future, so it is necessary to take a stake in immersion.

Not only that, as a tactile technology innovation company, immersion has certain technical advantages in touch. If they cooperate with the LCD Department of Williams electronics company to develop touch screen and multi touch technology, it must be able to speed up the research and development.

In this way, can the real intelligent age come earlier?
