Tokyo's Gentleman Story

Zhao Yilang, who has been in Jiaotong, feels a little headache recently.

Sega's recent sales are quite unexpected.

One million units sold.

Originally, Sega expected to be able to sell so many DCs by the middle of January, but the actual situation was very bad. It was not until the middle of February that they reached this level, which was a month late from their prediction. That's not a good thing.

Especially recently, Sony has been aggressive.

After talking about PS2, Sony began to show its ferocious claws.

They began to contact third parties on a large scale. Before Sega DC started to make efforts, Sony began to fight for those third-party games.

The situation in North America is good. In Japan, Sega DC is in a bad situation.

Why did this happen?

The third-party game development of Sega is more convenient, and the development of the third-party game is more convenient. Together, the two advantages could have brought Sega even greater advantages, but why did it become so?

Zhaoyilang into Jiaotong was a little annoyed by his hunger and thirst for sales before.

Because the sales strategy of hunger and thirst was so easy to use, the DC was always in the fire at that time, and the upsurge lasted until Christmas.

The problem, however, is Christmas.

Zhao Yilang, who entered the diplomatic relations, never expected that things would develop in such a way that word-of-mouth went down sharply, and friends and businessmen fell into trouble

Things are starting to get really bad.

DC began to be denounced by players, playing monkey strategy did not work.

"It's not me! It's not me who makes such a request By the way, it is chiyuzhengxiong! It's his strategy! "

At this time, zhaoyilang thought of the strategy and began to throw the pot.

But he thought about it and found that there was something wrong. Chiu Masao is a director. He wants to throw the pot, and he throws the pot to himself!

Realizing that there was no way to get rid of the pot, he said he was Alexander.

It is a Japanese tradition that someone wants to throw the pot to his subordinates, and then the subordinates resign with tears.

But when he entered Jiaojiao, Zhao Yilang found that he was carrying a big pot and still stuck with 502 glue.

However, if you really want to talk about it, it seems that this pot should have been carried by Jiao zhaoyilang

Things have already happened. Now how to deal with the aftermath is actually the key to the problem. However, the Japanese thinking loop is basically only at the stage of how to throw the pot. As for the aftermath and other things ha-ha.

As long as we can succeed in the end, it doesn't matter what the process is.

"Ah, by the way, Suzuki mulberry!"

And Suzuki Yu.

Well, yes, Suzuki is the key.

Suzuki Yu, once a VR fighter, once made Sega brilliant. Now, the other side is preparing to make a masterpiece.

As long as there are hot-selling masterpieces and then crush the whole market, then the mistakes made by ourselves will be covered up.

Suzuki Yu is the hope of entering the diplomatic relations with Shoichiro.

What, you need 5 billion yen to make it?

Not enough! I'll add another two billion!

What, do you want some oriental country to collect wind?

Not enough! At least to the whole of East Asia!

As long as Suzuki can make several times the Savior's work, that is enough.

After Sega DC is popular with the public, then they don't need to solicit those third parties. Let Sony spend a lot of money and experience to dig them up. When they see that their achievements are so good, they don't want to come back to play games for us?

That's the point!

After realizing this, Zhao Yilang felt very comfortable, just like a long time of constipation, and he was so comfortable!

"I remember that Mr. Dachuan and Mr. Qianyu also attach great importance to Suzuki mulberry. Now go to them first..."

After realizing this, Zhao Yilang went to find Suzuki Yu in a hurry

……

"Achoo! A-choo --! "

In the office of the animic society, Sen Xia sneezed twice in a row.

"I told you to wear a mask, senxia. You just don't listen." Qian Jia takes a look at Sen Xia who is sneezing, and then continues to focus on the document in her hand.

"Well, it's just an itchy nose, not a pollen allergy." Senxia shrugged. He didn't admit that he was allergic. "Someone must be thinking of me Well, yes, that must be the case! "

Well, senxia's remark is not a mistake. As a third-party game manufacturer, he has just been read fragmentary by Zhao Yilang.But Qianjia shook his head at this time, and then handed the document to Sen Xia: "let's not talk about those meaningless things. How do you plan on this matter?"

What Qian Jia said about "this matter" is that they have this document in hand.

Well, to be precise, it's from Sony.

"Sony wants us to continue developing games on the PS2..."

Senxia took the document, then raised the end of the document in her right hand and her chin in her left hand.

"Plants vs. Zombies sold well on PS before, but after that, the two large-scale games we developed successively were made for DC, which was valued by Sony. This is also a matter of course." Qianjia has no opinion on this.

In the early days, senxia and Qianjia actually cooperated with Sony. The reason why they mixed up with Sega was that their resources were more deceptive - cough, wrong. It was Sega that was more reasonable.

"But for PS2 and other development games, and also require exclusive, this problem is a little bit big..." Senxia looked at the document and thought.

Senxia didn't want to monopolize this thing from the beginning. No matter what platform it is, as long as you are a platform, we can develop games - that's what senxia thought before.

Well, Nintendo is not included. As Ren Hei, Mori is very conscious of this.

"But if it's exclusive, the terms are very favorable. Sony will help us with research and sales."

The process of the game from the finished product to the consumer's hand is sometimes very troublesome. The reason why senxia didn't encounter this problem at the beginning is that Qianjia's thighs are thick enough to contact enough excellent agents.

If Sony is exclusive to Sony, Sony will help senxia solve this problem. This means that senxia will have very favorable development conditions here, and there will be no headache for game agents.

"Although I like Sony very much, but their condition is to monopolize the game, I will never allow it. Monopolizing the game is the bad start of Nintendo."

At that time, Nintendo created a so-called "royalty system", which guaranteed the game quality of red and white machines in those years.

The so-called royalty system includes four aspects:

first, Nintendo has the right to audit each game; second, each third-party manufacturer can produce up to five games a year; third, the third-party manufacturer has to predict the sales volume of its own products; fourth, the third-party manufacturer must pay Nintendo game card production costs and royalty.

Among the various provisions of the royalty system, one of the most exaggerated is that the FC games of third-party manufacturers cannot be transplanted to other hosts, and violators will be punished. This is the origin of exclusive games.

This system, for hardware manufacturers, that is a great good thing.

Don't you see, those novels that went back to the 1980s to play games began to rebel against Nintendo under the Nintendo royalty system. But when the protagonists turned themselves into masters, did they become more and more fierce than Nintendo?

The reason is nothing. Even the author of a novel knows that this thing makes money! What is the protagonist's fat words? As long as the protagonist can make money! We're going to follow Nintendo's old ways!

By the way, one of the reasons why Nintendo Mori has created exclusive games is also one of the reasons. As the saying goes, the originator has no future, and this is the case.

Of course, Sony is much better off than Nintendo.

Nintendo is more intimidating, while Sony is inducement. And for many small developers, it is definitely easier to get money from Sony than to make money out of games.

"Sega DC is obviously unable to succeed now, so it is necessary to leave a back road, but why don't you agree with senxia?"

Because Qianjia's father is in the relationship with Sega, Qianjia has "internal information" here. Although it is not kind, when Sega DC goes wrong, Qianjia thinks PS2 is a good way to retreat.

Is it not good to find a way out of the so-called cunning rabbit's three caves?

"But we don't need it." However, senxia still refuses, "small game development teams and independent game development teams have far less resources than large-scale factories. For these people, whether they can make the game and do the game well is the first problem to bear the brunt. Sony's funding is almost a good thing for them. If it was animic a year ago, I would probably think that's a good idea. But now, we don't need an exclusive work. "

Sony has a special care policy for game developers of this type. As senxia and Qianjia saw in this document, Sony will try its best to lower the threshold of development, help developers with funds and development tools, and even provide technical guidance.

It's not just about saying that. Sony really does.The reason why Qianjia is excited is because of this.

Or how to say, there are so many powders in the world?

Protect uncle's smile, this sentence is not just talk about it - although Mr. Hirai is still far away from the president of Sony

"Then there's no advantage in monopolizing the game?" Of course, Qianjia knows what kind of advantages exclusive games may have, but she just wants to listen to Sen Xia's views.

"It's not that there is no such thing as monopolizing the game. I think there are many bright spots in the exclusive game except for the market and profit that have nothing to do with the game itself. The simplest thing is to satisfy the superior psychology and desire of the players. Monopolizing the game will naturally divide the camp." Senxia simply said his understanding, and then he changed his words, "but my idea is to let more players play our game."

So listen to Sen Xia one say, thousand good also deep thought ran nodded.

As a gentleman, Qian Jia and Sen Xia have the same idea.

If we can develop a fun game, of course, we hope more people can play it better!

In addition to the so-called support, sponsorship and affiliation are common means of game Monopoly. There is a "third" inside Sony_ Party_ The organization of "production" is to use their work to attract outstanding third-party works with funds and technology, and further turn it into a monopoly and cut off the path of competitors. Of course, this organization is only an embryonic form, and has not yet been fully formed.

But there's one thing about senxia, that is, they don't lack money at all. In short, "we don't need money!".

In that case, senxia doesn't need investment and help.

This is the confidence of senxia after they sell games and have money.

After having money, we can tell you honestly that this is for love!

For love, we can do what others can't do!

"So we have to find a way to reject Sony?" Qianjia tilted her head. She didn't seem to agree with it.

"Of course not." And Sen Xia's answer here is No.

Qian Jia raised her head in doubt.

"Well, we are just small game manufacturers. How we do here is not so important for Sony. We just need to follow our normal development process. " "It's not just Plants vs. Zombies 2," senxia said simply. "The game of the crown of sin that we used to play can also be transplanted. It's nothing."

Sin crown is definitely a good game. Moriha is going to transplant this game to PS2, although PS2 has not yet got a word.

"I agree, but the basic information of PS2 doesn't seem to mention the hard disk. Sony doesn't seem to plan to put the hard disk on it. In this way, we can't expand many DLC contents." Qian Jia looked at the document again.

"It's not only that there is no hard disk, mod can't be allowed, but it's not a problem, because we are a full platform dominator. We have technology and manpower now, and we don't care about Sony's capital injection. It's right to continue to take the full platform route."

That's why Sen Xia doesn't monopolize.
