Chapter 645 The strongest competitor in Empire Games! Nintendo and Sony! !

If we want to say that the biggest competitor of Toyo's arcade arcades is the pachinko arcades.

So Yang Ming always thinks.

The biggest competitors of Empire Games are either Nintendo of Japan or Sony.

Historically, Nintendo is an Japanese company mainly engaged in the development of electronic game software and hardware. It is one of the three giants in the global electronic game industry and is known as the founder of the modern electronic game industry.

Nintendo was founded on September 23, 1889. It started by producing Hanafuda. It entered the electronic game industry in the late 1970s and launched the first-generation home game console FC in 1983.

However, Empire Games has developed Nintendo's most important home game console, the Famicom, in advance.

For Nintendo, it has a very big impact, and may even affect Nintendo's development of game consoles.

Even then, in Yang Ming's view, it is absolutely impossible for Japanese people to give up on the video game industry easily, especially after seeing the huge profits made by Empire Games in this regard.

This time Yang Ming came to Dongyang to understand the situation of potential opponents.

Nintendo is one of them.

"I want to know what's going on with Nintendo."

"Boss, there is a Nintendo product exhibition hall in front of you."

Xu Qingsheng knows that Nintendo is still developing very well in the electronic game industry in Japan, even surpassing Taitung. However, he still couldn't figure out why his boss kept mentioning Nintendo to him.

When Yang Ming and others crossed two streets.

Yang Ming has seen a building displaying a Nintendo advertisement.

Historically, Nintendo really developed with the emergence of the Famicom and the game "Super Mario Bros."

However, the current Nintendo is actually different from what Yang Ming imagined.

Nintendo is now close to or even surpassing Corgan's Taitung in terms of strength, but compared to the Empire games, it's not worth mentioning at all.

If at this time, Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi knew that Imperial Group Chairman Sir Yang had come to inspect the Japanese market, or even come to see his company's showroom, he might even kneel in front of Yang Ming.

Now, when Yang Ming and his group came over, they looked very low-key, and their clothes were no different from other tourists.

When Yang Ming went into the Nintendo exhibition hall, he found that there were quite a lot of products here, mainly video games. However, these video games were basically unknown.

Some people may have played it or been exposed to it, but Yang Ming has basically never heard of it.

Nintendo's most famous "Super Mario Bros." in history was developed in 1985.

At this time, Nintendo mainly cooperated with Sanling Electric to develop video game software for families. After Nintendo cooperated with Sanling, in 1977, they jointly launched the TV game platform Color TV Game 6, which collected 6 simple versions of tennis games. , millions of units sold.

Historically, Shigeru Miyamoto, known as the founder of Nintendo's game culture, also joined Nintendo that year and was responsible for the art design of the arcade.

Nintendo began designing the Game \u0026 Watch, a handheld portable device. The concept came from Gunpei Yokoi, and its introduction in the 1e \u0026 Watch proved popular innovation and a more successful venture than before.

A game watch that combines an LCD electronic game with a digital dial was developed.

This is an important achievement for Nintendo, taking it to a new stage.

Nintendo commissioned the processing, with 30 cooperative factories operating day and night, and the market was still in short supply. In 1980 alone, 60 million units of this game watch were sold, thus laying the foundation for Nintendo's business.

However, since the appearance of the red and white consoles of Empire Games, portable game consoles like Nintendo have failed, and sales have become less and less. On the contrary, Imperial Games' handheld consoles and Famicom almost monopolized the market in this area.

Yang Ming is not afraid of other people. He knows that both Hiroshi Yamauchi and Shigeru Miyamoto are very powerful opponents.

Historically, Nintendo's success is naturally inseparable from their management and philosophy.

When Yang Ming and others visited there, they discovered the potential of Nintendo more and more.

If he didn't come from the future, it would be really hard for any other game company to match Nintendo.

Historically, Nintendo also stepped on Taitong, and even Atari Company of M country took over.

Nowadays, Yang Ming not only developed the historical Nintendo Famicom and the most popular "Super Mario Bros." in advance, but he can also be regarded as developing based on Nintendo.

However, in Yang Ming's view, this is not enough.

After Yang Ming and others carefully read this, Yang Ming already had his idea.

leave here.

"Xu Qingsheng, I want to see Sony."

Sony?

Historically, the world's three largest video game industry giants.

Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft.

Nintendo, Yang Ming just watched it.

Nowadays, Microsoft still exists, but it has been replaced by Yang Ming's SuperSoft. I am afraid it will be difficult to improve again.

That leaves only the current Sony.

However, Sony and Nintendo develop differently.

Sony started with transistor technology, then developed black and white televisions, video tapes, and the Walkman in the late 1970s.

Historically, Sony really began to enter the electronic game market. Due to the success of the red and white Nintendo consoles produced by Nintendo, Sony announced in 1988 that it would cooperate with Nintendo to jointly develop CD-ROM consoles for the Super Nintendo.

In May 1992, the cooperation broke down due to Nintendo's betrayal. Kutaragi tried his best to develop a new generation game console plan to Norio Ohga, the top operating decision-maker at the time.

Norio Ohga strongly endorsed Kutaragi Ken's game console development plan amid numerous objections. Starting in 1993, Sony's "Toyo Sony Music" established Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and planned to develop it under the code name "PS-X" The new generation of CD-ROM game consoles fully competes with the game market dominated by Nintendo.

Subsequently, Sony launched a series of PS game consoles, with sales of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of units, completely establishing Sony's position in game consoles and being able to compete with Nintendo.

However, at this time, Sony still cannot compare with Nintendo in terms of game consoles.

Nintendo's focus has always been on home consoles.

Sony's current focus is on electrical products and video tapes, which is different from Nintendo's research and development direction.

Yang Ming knew that in terms of Empire's game hardware, the biggest competitor was either Nintendo or Sony.

This is probably impossible to avoid.

Yang Ming was there watching.

Xu Qingsheng and others didn't know what the boss was looking at.

If you want to talk about Nintendo, that's okay, but Sony's main products now have nothing to do with video games.

Whether it's a TV, a video tape, a Walkman, etc., there seems to be no connection with Empire Games.

Yang Ming knows that Nintendo's strength lies in its research and development of electrical appliances. If Nintendo wants to develop and develop in the direction of home game consoles, it will be very easy.

This is why historically, Sony first cooperated with Nintendo, but was soon betrayed by Nintendo and then embarked on a different path alone.

Because Nintendo had already seen how powerful Sony was at that time, it naturally took the lead.

Unexpectedly, Sony eventually took over and divided the world with Nintendo in the East, and even became one of the three largest game industry giants in the world.
