Tokyo's Gentleman Story

Shannei Pu has been in a bit of a mess recently.

The reason is simple, because their NGC It's all over the street.

NGC was originally derived from "Dolphin Program", which later became the name of NGC and Wii simulator.

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

Three years ago, that is, in early 1998, Lao Ren contacted Matsushita, so Panasonic completely terminated the revival plan of 3do-m2 and turned to cooperate with him.

As a result, the original version of NGC's prototype "dolphin" was developed at the end of that year - faster than that of senxia.

However, Lao Ren was immediately hit by the "combination fist" of SEGA and Sony.

With the disclosure of DC and PS2 hardware specifications, Mr. Ren redesigned the hardware specifications to make sure that the performance of the system can completely surpass that of the PS2 under the premise of controlling the manufacturing cost as much as possible.

Originally, NGC was likely to be sold in the best time of the commercial war at the end of 2000, but because of Yamauchi's decision, this time was delayed a lot.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Pu in the mountain belittles the enemy.

At the beginning, Sega DC went out of the street and handed it to the Phoenix Society (order of Phoenix). Sega was completely out of the field of home computers, which also made shannei Pu very happy.

But then, dc-p appeared, this generation of improved DC follow-up models, while supporting the original DC game, has more powerful performance.

But in the beginning, no one looked after it.

Because the iterations are too fast.

However, it turns out that the DC has been cut into a cheap model, and the dc-p route is surprisingly very useful

And then they survived - not because of the machine itself. After the analysis of senior executives here, he found that the other side was completely due to their own game box office, and also supported online games.

Especially the latter.

"To finish online games, go to dc-p" concept has become an inherent cognition - no way, people's network system is well done.

Nintendo and Sega used to be rivals, but after this iteration, the distance between them is getting bigger and bigger.

But in fact, Lao Ren and the order of the Phoenix are very similar.

Because both of them are the first party, and they are very strong.

Now the order of Phoenix has stripped off all the game business and handed it to animic, a brotherhood. But it is undeniable that the two manufacturers can be regarded as one.

If it is a listed company, it can't be counted as such. However, these two companies are non listed companies controlled by senxia side, so it depends on whether senxiale is willing to dispatch or not. Anyway, the equity distribution of both sides is similar, especially after senxia redeems the shares of Sega.

Therefore, there is no problem for group A to regard it as the "first party".

If we look at it in this way, it will be obvious that Mori and Lao are the first party who makes the most money.

If you carefully analyze the financial statements of the past few years, you will find that although these years are the time when N64, the "pop Street" machine, is on the market, but in fact, Lao Ren's profit in the field of home computer has even exceeded the time when most of them dominated the world in the past.

-- the reason is very simple, this is because Lao Ren's game sales completely monopolized the N64 market.

Shanneipu has analyzed the situation in senxia.

Because it's not a listed company, shanneipu can't get other people's financial statements, because the other party has no obligation to disclose.

But through their foreign policy, we can see the clue: the sales of the first party's games are also millions.

Then he found out how to make money But there seems to be something wrong?

At first, shannei Pu didn't want to understand.

However, with the emergence of "infinite boundary line", he suddenly realized that the other party's means of making money was very clear: krypton gold.

At that time, shannei Pu was actually quite at ease.

Although senxia is said to be "so terrible", this method just shows that although the profits of the other party and himself are "the first party", the profit-making methods between them are quite different.

So, before that, Sony was Yamauchi Pu's big problem.

But

NGC's on the street.

Moreover, after NGC put out the street, shanneipu found something wrong.

After investigation, he found that Sony's PS2 seems to be Not so much!

Last year, Sony sold nearly 70000 sets of hardware. According to the actual sales of 800 thousand sets of old games in the world, it may be that the sales volume of this set of games exceeded 70000 in the world There are only three versions of "iron fist TT" of Nanmeng palace, schweill's play of wild ball in space and group A's "anti rebellious Lu Lu Xiu".Er It's embarrassing, but the games of group a really occupy the top three

On the contrary, the game with millions of sales on dc-p is coming fiercely. Moreover, people make money not only once, but also after they have earned you once, they will earn you again after DLC

Compared with the PS2, dc-p's shipment is 6 million, but if you include the cheap version of DC, that's 10 million, which is actually more than Sony!

Then, looking at it again, Lao Ren found that they had changed the dc-p into a new one and made a Kirin computer!

Moreover, Kirin computer also monopolized the market of a big eastern country!

It's not that a big eastern country has a preference for Kirin computers, but in addition to Kirin computers Other game machines can't get in!

Yes, with the ban on video game machines, PS2, N64 and NGC are all over the street. People "have people on top". You are no match at all!

In addition, it is the North American market.

During the Christmas business war last year, PS2 only accounted for 6% of North America's hardware sales, and the market there was squeezed by dc-p.

And this year, dc-p sales have soared with the popularity of the Internet.

"But their mind is not on the hardware."

Shanneipu knew that, in fact, senxia could expand the results if they monopolized it.

But the operation of senxia is very confusing. Many of their games are almost shared on multiple platforms.

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

It's like saying that you want to develop office software to fruit. It's ridiculous!

-- well, Juqiang has really developed the office suite for fruits

Back to this year.

"Alloy equipment", "GTA" and "the true Three Kingdoms" broke out on PS2. On the dc-p platform, "MUV moon fall", "anti rebel Lu Lu Lu Xiu 2" and a series of follow-up works have also begun to appear, especially the monster hunter and the devil's soul. Well, there's also Karp's empty road to make complaints about the way to survive.

Obviously, it's been a big year for games.

However NGC's on the street.

Honey embarrassed.

"But I don't understand! "

NGC has gone to the streets, but it can be saved because Lao Ren still has the first party.

but at this time, Shan Pu received a message, or we all know a news: the Phoenix society is once again opening a press conference.

Isn't your dc-p thriving? Why is

going to open a press conference?

They really want to launch hardware products, but I don't know what you want to do

……

Senxia doesn't know what Yamauchi is thinking. In fact, he is preparing for the press conference.

The second WCG was far more successful than the first.

After the first success, many game manufacturers have found the appearance of the world E-sports competition.

Before that, it was the committee that went to the game company, but after the first competition, it became the game company licking its face to find the Committee.

Let's not say that the sales of games that have been contested in WCG have increased by more than 30% on average, while the sales of some games with relatively small number have doubled after exposure.

Of course, on the one hand, on the other hand, the number of advertisers for the game has begun to increase.

At the beginning, WCG was made by senxia power generation, but in the second competition, advertising alone can make the whole committee generate enough surplus.

A new industrial chain is beginning to take shape.

However, among them, the biggest earner is not Mori Xia, whose income in the century is not much.

The person who earns the most is actually Alice.

Well, although people sometimes have no integrity like licking a dog, they are honest and have got a lot of real gold and silver from here.

The old man of Tianhai family once wanted to let Sen Xia and Alice's family get married. It's not unreasonable. People's hard power is still very strong.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Mori for the time being.

After brushing nuns with Qianjia No, after playing the game, senxia began to prepare for the press conference.

"Well, you said that I was engaged in cultural industry, how could I start to make equipment..."

At this time, Mori is looking at a new generation of game consoles that are still in a state of secrecy, as well as the wireless handles that are ready next to them.

This time, senxia is ready to play a big trick.

Next to senxia, Qianjia and Alice are there.

Xuenai there, Sen Xia did not disturb, because in two days will be the final of "anti terrorist elite"."It's a pity that some big eastern country can't do the chip business, otherwise our cost can be reduced again."

A new generation of game consoles, of course, use new chips.

Can hear Sen Xia's words, next to Alice came over: "this is not good, IBM will not agree."

The new generation of mainframe, chip is not from Hitachi, but Mori through Alice's relationship, found IBM, and then the two sides cooperate to carry out research.

But after hearing Alice's words, senxia sighed: "unfortunately, their chip costs are too high. Our customized version requirements are not so high, but the chip cost is at least 35% higher than that of the previous generation."

The price of dc-p is very strong. After replacing the main parts produced by a big eastern country, senxia can even make a surplus.

However, it is more difficult for a new generation of machines to be as leisurely as before. Because of the customized chip with IBM It's too expensive.

I can't help it. IBM is just crazy.

You know, they released a CPU chip this year, L3 cache, enough to achieve 128MB.

What is the concept of 128MB L3 cache?

Well, many computers in this era don't have 128MB of memory, let alone CPU cache.

If that's not understood, let's take another example.

At this moment, many chips of Intel and AMD do not even have level 3 cache. However, on the i9-9900k family flagship chip more than 10 years later, the size of level 3 cache is only 12 MB, which is one tenth of that of others!

Of course, everyone's design and packaging are different. In fact, the comparability is very subtle.

The encapsulation technology of SOC, MCM, sip or SOP is different from the kernel.

Oh, by the way, this chip of IBM uses MCM Packaging Technology, and this technology Well, it can be used as a heap cache.

IBM is powerful, but the price and cost go up.

But senxia can't help it. If he wants something new, he can only hold other people's thighs.

Because at this moment, some technologies are really only available to IBM family, and Sen Xia can't make sure.

"In fact, I prefer self-study." Qianjia said, "there are many manufacturers in China - I mean, Nihong - that are ready to give up further research on high-performance chips. If they can, they can buy them."

Abandoning high performance chips does not mean giving up the whole business. Texas Instruments, for example, is still a giant after giving up its chip business in mobile phones and tablets.

But this kind of behavior will inevitably lead to a lot of brain drain. These resources will come over, which is actually very good.

"Well Maybe it's an opportunity. " Senxia muttered. But after that, senxia sighed again.

"What's wrong with darling?" Alice asked quickly.

"I'm actually a cultural industry worker. Why do I have to work on hardware..."

Senxia shook her head.

I just want to play a gentleman's game. Why is it like this?

"Ah Lala, if darling wants to sell the club, I can take the offer." Alice came up at once and was pushed away by Sonia.

"No, it's not my plan, but it's absolutely impossible to sell it."

It's not planned, but it's interesting.

Therefore, senxia's new generation of machines should also be made more interesting.

"All right." Alice shrugged, as if it were dull.

"But it's OK to do self-study..." People's fruit later developed a series of chips. They had their own chip foundation. Now they are engaged in research and development, and the investment is not as terrible as in the future. Maybe it's good to step by step?

But developing chips is not easy.

Especially after the appearance of Kirin computer, senxia needs to pay more attention to this aspect.

In this regard, senxia decided to learn from fruit's system and hardware iteration scheme, and use hardware feedback chip development

Of course, that was after that. As for now Well, of course, I'm going to watch the XP system press conference first!

IBM's information comes from encyclopedia and the Internet. The author, Jun English, relies on Google girl to translate owo.

In addition, MCM actually had a well-known nickname in the world, and I chip was ridiculed for this nickname
