Back To 1995

  Chapter 554 Painting the cake and becoming the man in the cake

   Anyway, it wasn't Xue Leshan's side who paid for it, Song Yang didn't bother to feel sorry for Microsoft, and spent Microsoft's money to raise Xue Leshan's cubs.

   In the years when smartphones have not yet become the mainstream of electronic products and mobile games have not yet become a trend, the role of professional game consoles cannot be replaced, at least it can make money for at least ten years, if it works well.

Song Yang has an Alcatel mobile phone and can produce handheld screens by himself. He also has ARM and PA semiconductors, and can design and produce handheld processors. Xue Leshan can provide games and produce a handheld computer, which is a bit difficult for other companies. For Alcatel mobile phones, it is just one more production line!

If it doesn’t work, it’s fine, but if you do, you can make a profit. The profit of handheld computers is much larger than that of consoles. This thing, like mobile phones, is a high-tech product. In other words, people who can understand it are , have to pay extra...

"In the game console industry, the competition is even greater than that of consoles, and the handheld industry is basically dominated by Nintendo, and there are also manufacturers, including Atari and Sega, who have challenged Nintendo, but they have all failed without exception. !"

  Peter Moore is not very optimistic about letting Sega re-launch the handheld, mainly in the handheld industry, which is basically Nintendo's territory, and it is not without challengers, but basically it does not end well.

Well-known console manufacturers have all tried their hand with Nintendo on handhelds. Atari, Sega, Sony, Bandai, etc. have all tried it. As for the effect, it can only be said that the effect is dismal, and now it can barely make a sound. , only Sony is left, fighting with Nintendo in the handheld industry, and the others are slowly disappearing.

  All, Peter Moore was a little worried when he heard that he also wanted Sega to compete with Nintendo in the handheld industry.

   "In the handheld industry now, not only hardware, but also in handheld games, it is difficult to have games that compete with Pokémon!"

Peter Moore reluctantly said that Nintendo really saved Nintendo's handheld industry with a game, and the launch of "Pokémon" has become Nintendo's magic weapon. When a new generation of handhelds is launched, sales may decline. , then come to a Pokemon, but players and users just eat this set, and even many players bluntly said that they bought Nintendo handhelds for Pokemon!

  If you want to compete with Nintendo in the console industry, you must not only launch a handheld console that surpasses Nintendo in hardware performance, even in exclusive games, you must launch a game that can compete with Pokémon.

   "It depends on Mount Xue Le!"

Song Yang didn't have a headache, but left the problem to Ken Williams. He was in charge of game development. He developed games that can be played for Sega's new generation of consoles and handhelds. That's Ken Williams. what James should do.

To be honest, there are very few games that can suppress "Pokémon", but if you can't beat one, then come to a group, Angry Birds, Cut Fruit, Temple Run, Monster Hunter, plus Sega's original Sonic has been arranged. If it is not enough, then the Japanese Benzene SNK game company will also be acquired!

SNK Company is the king of the arcade era. Of course, after more than ten years, the new generation of players will be most familiar with SNK than the Tachibana Ukyo, Mai Shiranui, Miyamoto Musashi, Charlotte, Na in a certain mobile game. Ke Lulu waited for a few game characters.

   But that's how many years SNK broke down and settled down, and can only play linkage with other games, and earn extra money by licensing game IP.

But at its peak, SNK was the one who beat and kicked Japanese and benzene games. It was called the king of the arcade era, but just like Sega today, the arcade era has fallen, and now the users of arcade games all over the world are starting to keep going. Reduced, and SNK is still living in the glory of the past.

Like Sega, SNK owes a lot of debt now, and the main creators have started to leave the market. The external debt is as high as more than 30 billion yen. Now it is also difficult to live a small life. If there is no big gold owner to take over, then SNK can only close its doors. Good luck.

  The decline of the arcade era, coupled with the fact that Soros is doing things in Southeast Asia this year, the sponsors began to stop, the tide began to fade, and everyone knew who was swimming.

SNK is in a downturn now, but there are still many good things, especially the game copyright and characters in the game. These things, in a few years, are all "classic" games, all feelings, engaging in game linkages, Licensing game characters, etc., can definitely be earned!

"If necessary, Xue Leshan will also acquire the Japanese Benzene SNK game company. SNK's King of Fighters, Samurai Soul, Metal Slug, etc., can log in to Sega console games, or let Xue Leshan's mobile game department make these development into the palm of the hand. computer and mobile games.”

As long as you have a thick skin, you can make money by frying cold rice. After the King of Fighters will launch one every year, it will be no problem to launch more than a dozen models. Samurai Soul and Metal Slug can also continue to be developed. With the popularity of these games, there is no problem with Chafan, as long as it is shameless. That's enough. Anyway, SNK is developing these games. What does it have to do with Xue Leshan, Sega consoles, and handheld consoles? !

Hearing Song Yang's words, Ken Williams responded with a headache. He knew that the next time was probably his busiest time. Xue Leshan had to develop not only PC and console games, but also handheld and mobile phones. game.

  Xue Leshan has a mobile game research and development department, but its reputation is not obvious. The Snake on Alcatel mobile phones was developed by this game department.

Although Snake is not recognized by the mainstream game industry, it is considered that this game is too "technical", but it can't stand its popularity. Now Nokia, Motorola and other manufacturers want to authorize Xue Leshan to let them get this game. .

   "Peter," Song Yang looked at Peter Moore, "I hope you can make the Sega console return to the first camp in the console industry!"

It is unrealistic to expect to surpass Nintendo and Sony immediately, and Song Yang will not listen to that kind of big talk, "If the sales of Sega consoles can reach the same level as Nintendo and Sony, then I will tell you that at that time, you might , to be the president of Liverpool FC!"

  Song Yang said something that made Peter Moore breathless. He felt that Song Yang was joking with him, but it didn't feel like it.

What is the concept of becoming the president of Liverpool, that is, to make him the leader of Liverpool, to be able to enter the Liverpool team, it is the dream of every boy born in Liverpool, a lifetime dream, this dream can still be done, can be a Liverpool team Let him choose players, coaches, and build the Liverpool team in his mind, which is something Peter Moore never dared to dream of!
