Hiroshi Yamauchi has been in a state of anxiety lately.

The reason is very simple, because their ngc...successful.

ngc was originally derived from the "Dolphin Project". Later, this dolphin project became the name of ngc and ii simulators.

And this dolphin project was launched almost at the same time as Sega DC.

Three years ago, in the early 1998, Lao Ren had contact with Panasonic, and Panasonic completely terminated the 3do-m2 resurrection plan and instead cooperated with Lao Ren.

For this reason, the original version of ngc's prototype "Dolphin" was developed at the end of that year. This efficiency was faster than that of Moriya.

However, Lao Ren was immediately "combined punch" by Sega and Sony.

With the disclosure of the hardware specifications of DC and PS2, Lao Ren redesigned the hardware specifications, ensuring that the performance of the performance exceeds that of P2 as much as possible while controlling the manufacturing cost.

Originally, it was entirely possible that ngc would be released at the best time of the business war at the end of the 2000th century, but because of Hiroshi Yamauchi's decision, this time was delayed a lot.

Of course, this is also related to Yamauchi's underestimation of the enemy.

At the beginning, Sega DC failed and handed over to Phoenix (Order of Phoenix). Sega completely broke out of the domestic machine field, which made Hiroshi Yamauchi very happy.

But then, DC-P appeared. This generation of improved DC subsequent models have more powerful performance while supporting DC original games.

But at the beginning, no one was optimistic about this thing.

Because iteration is too fast.

However, it turns out that the DC was cut into a cheap model, and it was unexpectedly easy to use with the DC-P route...

Then, they survived tenaciously, but it was not because of the machine itself. After analyzing, the executives on Lao Ren found that the other party was selling their own games entirely because of their own games and also supported online games.

Especially the latter.

The concept of "to finish online games, go find dc-p" has become an inherent cognition and no way to do it, and the network system is just done well.

Nintendo and Sega were once rivals, but after this iteration, the distance between the two sides became increasingly larger.

But in fact, Lao Ren and the Order of the Phoenix are actually quite similar.

Because both are strong in the first party.

The current Order of Phoenix has stripped all the game business and handed it over to the brother animi, but it is undeniable that it is okay for these two manufacturers to regard as one.

If it is a listed company, it is naturally not possible to calculate this. But these two companies are non-listed companies controlled by Moriya, so it depends entirely on Moriya's distributors, because Moriya's equity distribution is similar, especially after Moriya redeems Sega's shares.

Therefore, it is really no problem for A to be regarded as the "first party".

But if you look at it this way, the situation will be obvious: Senxia, ​​like Lao Ren, is the most profitable first-party.

If you carefully analyze Lao Ren's financial statements in the past few years, you will find that although these years have been the time for the "slap" machine of n64, in fact, Lao Ren's profit in the field of home consoles has even exceeded the time when most of the past dominate the world.

The reason is very simple, because Lao Ren's game sales completely monopolized the n64 market.

Hiroshi Yamauchi analyzed the situation on Morika.

Because it is not a listed company, Hiroshi Yamauchi cannot get other people's financial statements because the other party does not have the obligation to disclose it to the outside world.

However, through their foreign policy, the clues can still be seen: the first-party games are also sold in millions.

Then he found that someone's way of making money seemed to be something wrong?

At first, Yuuki Yamauchi didn't understand it very much.

But after the appearance of "Infinite Realm Line", he suddenly realized that the other party's method of making money was very clear: krypton gold.

At that time, Hiroshi Yamauchi was actually quite relieved.

Although Senxia is "so terrifying", this method just shows that although the other party and his own profits are both "first party", the profit methods between the two are still completely different.

So, before that, Sony was the biggest concern in Yamauchi.

But……

ngc failed.

Moreover, after ngc failed, Hiroshi Yamauchi discovered something was wrong.

After investigation, he found that Sony's ps2 seemed... not very good!

Last year, Sony's global hardware shipments were close to 8 million units, but according to Lao Ren's investigation, they found that the actual sales may be only 70% of the shipments. In addition, in the past year, the opposite game exceeded 500,000 sales... There are only three models: "Iron Fist TT" Square's "Drama Space" and "Lelouch's Rebellion" by A-Social.

Uh... it's very embarrassing, but the games on A-Society do account for the top three...

On the contrary, the game with millions of sales on DC-P is coming in full force, and people make money not just once, but after making money, they will make money again and then make money again...

Compared with ps2, the shipment of DC-P is 6 million, but if you include the cheap version of DC, it will be tens of millions, which actually surpasses Sony!

Then when he looked again, Lao Ren found that he had changed his dc-p and made a Kirin computer!

Moreover, Kirin Computer also monopolizes the market of a major oriental country!

It’s not that a certain Eastern power prefers Kirin computers, but that other game consoles can’t even get in except Kirin computers!

Yes, now that the game console ban is banned, ps2, n64, ngc, there is a completely disappointing place, there is someone "above", you are no match!

In addition, it is the market in North America.

During the Christmas business war last year, hardware sales accounted for only 6% of North America, and the market there was squeezed by DC-P.

And this year, DC-P sales have increased sharply with the popularity of the Internet.

"But their mind is not on the hardware."

Hiroshi Yamauchi knew that Morika could actually expand the results of the battle if they had exclusive access.

But Senxia's operations are very fascinating. Many of their games are shared on almost multiple platforms.

In particular, A-Socie also went to the PS2 platform to develop games.

This is like a giant saying that he wants to develop the Office software to fruits, it is simply ridiculous!

Well, Juhar really developed an office suite for Fruit...

Return to this year.

"Metal Equipment", "GTA" and "True Three Kingdoms" exploded in PS2, and on the DC-P platform, "MuV Moon Setting", "Lelouch 2" and a series of subsequent works have also begun to appear, especially "Monster Hunter" and "Demon Soul", which are simply coming in full force. Well, there is also the "Road to Survive" that was used to complain about Capcom.

Obviously, this year is the year of games being sold well.

However...ngc failed.

Honey is awkward.

"But... I don't understand!"

ngc failed, but in fact it can still be saved because Lao Ren still has a first party.

But at this moment, Hiroshi Yamauchi got a news, or, in other words, everyone knew a news: The Order of the Phoenix is ​​about to hold a press conference again!

Aren't you DC-P thriving?

Why are you going to hold a press conference again?

They are indeed going to launch hardware products, but... I can't tell you what you want to do...

...

Morika didn't know what Mr. Yamauchi was thinking. In fact, he was preparing for a press conference.

The second cg is much more successful than the first one.

After the first success, many game manufacturers discovered the appearance of the World E-sports Competition.

Before that, the committee went to find the game manufacturer, but after the first competition, it turned into a game manufacturer and came to the committee with a licking face.

Don’t say that the sales volume of the game projects that have been contested in CG increased by more than 30% on average, while some relatively niche games have doubled their sales after being exposed.

Of course, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the number of advertisers for games is beginning to increase.

At the beginning, CG was made by Morixia Power Generation, but in the second competition, advertising alone, could generate enough surplus for the entire committee.

An emerging industrial chain is gradually forming.

However, the one who earns the most is not Monisha, and Monisha's income is actually not much.

The person who earns the most is actually... Alice.

Well, although they sometimes have no moral integrity like licking dogs, they have actually deducted a lot of real money from here.

The old man from the Tianhai family once wanted to marry the Alice family. This is not unreasonable. Their hard power is still very powerful.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Moriya for the time being.

After playing the nun with Qianjia... No, after playing the game, Morika began to prepare for the press conference.

"Oh, you said I, a cultural industry, started to build equipment..."

At this time, Moriya is checking the new generation of game consoles that are still in a confidential state, as well as the wireless controllers prepared next to it.

This time, Sen Xia is preparing to use her ultimate move.

Next to Moriya, Chika and Alice were both there.

Morika didn't bother Yukino because the final of "Counter-Strike" will be in two days.
To be continued...
