Also at 2 pm, Nintendo’s new product launch conference was held, and then there were also a lot of people who participated in the new product launch conference this time with excitement.

But if you look closely, you will find that around 23 guests who ran to Nintendo’s press conference this time also appeared at Sony’s press conference.

It’s just that, unlike Sony’s knowledge, everyone knows that Sony is going to release a game console. The Nintendo conference basically made everyone wonder, everyone is curious about what Nintendo wants to release this time!

In fact, Nintendo’s development of a new generation of consoles is simply not a secret. As early as 1993, Nintendo had already released certain information at their own annual Super Nintendo exhibition.

But until now, this new generation of mainframe is still in a difficult state. Because of the huge technical difficulties, Nintendo’s personal technical strength cannot be overcome and can only choose to cooperate with other companies.

at first Nintendo chose to cooperate with Sony, and then it collapsed. This made Nintendo’s new generation of consoles have to start from scratch and cooperate with Philips.

Speaking of the cooperation between Sony and Nintendo, it is very interesting, and it also fully demonstrates the nature of Sony as a company.

Don’t look at Nintendo’s 3D game console. It was not launched until 1996. It has been sold for a full year and a half compared to Sony and 3 years slower than 4DD. In the era of 3d games, Nintendo from the very beginning has fallen behind. Up.

But is it really so?

Nintendo, the big game maker, really can’t see the obvious trend of 3d games?

The answer is of course no. In fact, in 1988, Nintendo had realized that 3D games were the mainstream of the future, and it was imperative to develop a 3D game console.

But the problem is that the 3Dization of games will inevitably lead to a surge in game data capacity.

For example, in the previous Contra, the capacity of the entire game was only 256KB. In 2020, a computer can download 10 Contra-sized games in one second.

And a 3d game, the capacity is basically above 100mb, this is the capacity that a game cassette can’t carry at all, which surpassed the upper limit of the capacity of the game cassette at that time.

At that time, there was no such thing as a USB flash drive. The only thing that can break through the capacity limit and reach a capacity of more than 200mb, there is only one cheap carrier tool, and that is the CD.

That is, VCD discs. Only by changing the carrier from cassette to disc, the game can truly enter the 3D era.

But in 1988, CD-ROM reading, that is, CD-ROM technology was very high-end, Nintendo’s accumulated technology could not play CD storage technology at all, but at that time Nintendo and Sony were in the honeymoon period, and Sony helped Nintendo produce a lot FC game music, and there is no competition in the product line of the two sides, the relationship is naturally very good, basically in a state of wearing a pair of pants.

So the cooperation between the two parties hit it off. Nintendo naturally decided to cooperate with Sony to develop a new CD game console. After the contract was agreed, the code name of this product jointly developed by Sony and Nintendo was called PlayStation.

how about it?

Seeing this name, is there a feeling of imagination.

It is estimated that in the future console game circle, for the Sony PS4 and Nintendo switch, these two game consoles will be the best in the world. Players cannot even dream of it. In fact, the PS game console and this name, It was originally prepared for Nintendo, but Nintendo’s next-generation console was almost called PS.

Of course, if this is the case, it is estimated that there will be no switchthis thing in the future.

But history is always full of bad tastes.

Just when everything seemed so smooth and seemed to be about to succeed, something that no one thought of happened. In 1992, at the CES International Consumer Electronics Show, Sony was preparing to cooperate with Nintendo to jointly release the PlayStation prototype.

Nintendo suddenly told Sony that the research and development cooperation with Sony has ended, and they have found Philips to jointly develop the next console, Sony’s PS, bye bye!

Such a sudden change naturally made Sony very angry, but without the cooperation of Nintendo, it seems that Sony can no longer go on this path of the game.

But how could Sony be willing to fail, so they decided to continue to develop the PS project, even without the support of Nintendo. Finally, in 1994, that is now, the PS game console completely independently developed by Sony finally appeared!

How about it, is there an inspiration to think that Sony is true? Sony is also the protagonist, and Nintendo is the damn dragon?

Indeed, judging from the information gathered by onlookers above, Sony is indeed an innocent victim, and Nintendo is simply a green tea bitch who abandons the original match at will.

But as time went on, more and more details were revealed, and the truth of the whole fact was finally revealed to everyone.

It turned out that it was not Sony that was pitted, but Nintendo.

As mentioned before, Nintendo and Sony have signed a cooperation agreement. According to this cooperation agreement, the two parties are completing research on a new generation of PS.

Because what Nintendo has been unable to deal with is CD-ROM, that is, CD reader, or more simply the production method of optical drive, but in order to keep its core interests and technology from being invaded by Sony, the two parties jointly developed The PS that came out actually became a weird thing, a device with 2 splits.

One of the devices is a CD-ROM developed by Sony, which looks similar to a VCD, and the other is a new mainframe developed by Sony.

This new mainframe can still be plugged into the Nintendo game card to play Nintendo games in the FC era, but if players want to play 3d games loaded on the CD, they need to connect the Sony CD-ROM to the game console, and then Then use the CD to read the game. Equivalent to give a PS game console divided into two, and take out the CD drive separately to make another accessory.

According to the cooperation agreement between Sony and Nintendo at the time, it was the Nintendo version of the PS game console. Both parties made their own profits. After a set of machines is sold, all the money earned by the game console is Nintendo’s, while the CD-ROM makes All the money received is Sony’s. As for the income from game cassettes, it is naturally Nintendo’s private property and Sony has nothing to do with it.

From this point of view, although Sony and Nintendo can make a lot of game console money, the money is limited. In fact, it is not much. A few 100000000 million US dollars will be the sky.

But this is still profitable, there is no problem with the cooperation itself, and Nintendo has no doubts, so they signed the contract.

But when the Nintendo version of the PS console came to the final juncture, Yamauchi Hiroshi happened to meet a famous American lawyer. Yamauchi Hiroshi took the contract out of the blue and asked the American lawyer to check it.

It doesn’t matter if the result is not looked at. The lawyer immediately pointed out that there are many vague terms in this contract, and these vague terms will cause a fatal problem.

The author does not know the specific vague terms, and no one has ever announced them, but it is said that these vague terms will bring a result, that is, after any game is made into CD mode, then Sony has the same The distribution rights of this game.

What does it mean?

To put it simply, for example, Nintendo burned the “Pokemon” game on the CD with the technical assistance of Sony, and then used it on the PS.

Then, Sony also has the right to publish and use the game “Pokemon”. In the future, Sony will join Sony to produce a brand new CD game console, so Sony will directly have the right to release “Pokemon” on its own game console. There is also the right to the sequel to “Pokemon” without Nintendo’s consent.

This is equivalent to, through this contract, Sony can use the game library and game IP that Nintendo has operated for more than 20 years and eat them all at once. From then on, Nintendo’s games are Sony’s, and Sony’s games are still Sony’s!

If you follow the terms of this contract, Sony will still be Sony, but Nintendo may no longer exist.

I want to know with my ass how angry Nintendo was after discovering this contract loophole. They were absolutely impossible to fulfill this contract, and then they could only tear the contract on the spot.

Anyway, this contract is only a cooperative contract. There is no specific compensation clause. If you tear it up, you don’t have to pay a dime. Of course, Nintendo will have no pressure to tear it up.

When Sony saw that its contract loophole trap was exposed, it simply stopped hiding its purpose and developed its own PS game console directly. Who is the most disgusting guy in this matter?
