Back To 1995: Chapter 784 Two peaches kill three men

  Song Yang also heard Peter Moore's report on Microsoft's Xbox console, which is much more detailed than Robbie Bach's, including Xbox's market prospects, sales forecasts, and more.

   "Generally speaking, the performance of Microsoft's OEM Xbox console is much stronger than Sega's current DC console, but the key point is... it's too expensive!"

   Peter Moore, a tall man with a face like a gang boss, said with a little pity, but it was a pity for a while.

   Sega's current flagship model, the performance of the DC game console, is indeed inferior to the Xbox, but the latter is built with US knives. Microsoft can sell one and lose one for sales, but the Sega console does not have that strength.

   "However, Sega will restart the "Saturn" game console plan!"

Peter Moore looked at Song Yang with burning eyes. Now Sega, basically in the game console industry, has regained a firm foothold. With the exclusive authorization support of Xue Leshan, a number of super popular games have been continuously provided for Sega consoles. A number of exclusive games such as "Diablo", "StarCraft", "Half-Life", etc., coupled with price reductions, have made the sales of Sega DC game consoles continue to rise.

And for Microsoft to manufacture Xbox consoles, Sega has a stable income, whether Microsoft pays it or not, Peter Moore is too lazy to care, but the foundry fee belongs to Sega consoles, and even Microsoft's eldest son can't few.

  With food in hand, Peter Moore, who has spare money, naturally wants to go a step further, reproduce the glory of Sega in the host industry back then, and is ready to restart the "Saturn Host" plan!

  The Saturn console represents the most glorious era of Sega. The record of 170,000 units sold on the first day is still unforgettable by Sega. Every few years, Sega and its users must cherish the past glory.

  Peter Moore decided to no longer cherish the memory, but to do a real game, re-develop the "Saturn" console, to compete with Sony's next-generation PS console and Nintendo's next-generation console NGC.

   Hearing Peter Moore's words, Song Yang nodded noncommittally. Anyway, according to the agreement with Microsoft, the hardware cost of developing Sega's mainframe will be borne by Microsoft.

   As long as Microsoft is willing to pay, Song Yang has no objection, and even wishes Microsoft to spend more money for Sega consoles. The more Sega consoles are sold, the more money Xue Leshan gets.

The main purpose of acquiring Sega at the beginning was mainly two, one was to let Sammy build a complete set of pinball room system, from pinball room game development to pinball room game operation hall, and then to the production of pinball machines, all in hand , In addition to the game console, Sega also has the copyright of arcade and pinball games.

Another purpose is to let Xue Leshan Games have a console sales platform, and not be subject to Sony and Nintendo, these two black-hearted console platforms, but they work hard to collect Xue Leshan's licensing fees, and also require game sharing and exclusive games, Nintendo's side , is not willing to cooperate with Sega.

With the platform of the Sega console, Snow Mountain Games is no longer subject to Sony and Nintendo, and Snow Mountain has also built a complete set of sales channels, from online digital platforms to offline game retail stores, computer games CDs, game console platforms, and basically global game fans have all been covered.

   "It's up to you, Peter, to decide this matter. Xue Leshan and Sam Sega will support your decision!"

Anyway, it wasn't Song Yang's side who paid the money. It was not Song Yang's side to develop a new game console. Without a million dollars, it would not come down. Microsoft dared to agree to any conditions. swallow.

  Peter Moore also laughed, "I understand!"

The Sega console's equity is now half owned by Snow Mountain Games and half by Microsoft. The internal executives are naturally divided into two factions. Robbie Bach's gang must have their hearts on Microsoft, and Peter Moore and the gang The executives of the original Sega camp were naturally from Song Yang's side.

   The two sides maintain a delicate balance, no one can do without the other, and no one wants to easily pierce that layer of window paper.

As for Microsoft's willingness to spend money, Peter Moore is not too worried. As long as Microsoft wants to show its glory in the game console industry, improve the technical level of the Xbox console, and bring Sony and Nintendo to the ground, it must support Sega The host will do, even if Sega is trying to get it out of hand...

   "The research and development of Sega game consoles must also be accelerated, and Nintendo cannot monopolize the entire game console market!"

Song Yang explained to Peter Moore, anyway, let Sega act as a scumbag in the game industry, spend Microsoft's money, and be disgusting in the game console and handheld industry. As for Sony and Nintendo, will it be uncomfortable? Will Microsoft? Song Yang was too lazy to take care of the loss of his liver.

If you can use a Sega, you will hold off Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, and let them have no time to take care of them. It will be a lot of money, and it will save money. If Microsoft is okay, it will find fault all over the world. The game industry has added a block to Xue Leshan.

After    finished speaking, Song Yang looked at Peter Moore, "Peter, I remember, I promised you that if the Sega console can return to the first camp in the console industry, I will let you be..."

  Peter Moore looked at Song Yang in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would mention this matter. Before, Song Yang had drawn a pie for him in order to acquire Sega.

   But after thinking about it, Peter Moore also knew that this flatbread was not so easy to eat, but now, Song Yang mentioned it again, which made Peter Moore feel hopeful.

   "You should have heard about Bruno Yankees Sports. Bruno Yankees Sports is ready to enter the Premier League and acquire a Premier League team!"

   Hearing that Song Yang really said this, Peter Moore finally couldn't help it, "Is it the Liverpool team?"

Song Yang did not deny it, "Now Bruno Yankees Sports, which already owns the Serie A Roma team, needs to borrow some other channels to acquire the Liverpool team. I hope you can come forward, Peter, to initiate the acquisition of Liverpool, and the acquisition is completed. After that, you will be the president of the Premier League Liverpool Club!"

   The UEFA League does have regulations that cannot allow two teams in the hands of a big money master to play at the same level. Isn’t that thing a lice on a bald head, and it can obviously be manipulated. After all, you still need a face.

   But it's not too easy to get around this. With trust holdings, entrusted holdings, and overseas fund acquisitions, after a few more layers, you can completely bypass the rules, at least you can't be caught outright!

Song Yang is also going to make such a move, let Peter Moore come forward to buy Liverpool, and then Bruno Yankee Sports will circle overseas a few times to form a few overseas foundations. consortium.

   After the acquisition was completed, Peter Moore served as the president of the Liverpool team, but the team's business development, team advertising, sponsors, etc. were all "entrusted" to Bruno Yankee Sports, right?

This trick has been played by Bayern Munich, Volkswagen, etc. The Bundesliga is basically their two-person transfer. Many Bundesliga teams have control in their hands, but on the bright side, they do not foul at all, and There are no direct stakes in other Bundesliga teams.

Peter Moore doesn't mind being a tool man at all. As a Liverpool native, not to mention being able to become Liverpool's team president, being able to enter Liverpool is already the dream of countless fans born in Liverpool, not to mention Peter. Moore has taken it one step further this time.

   And Peter Moore is not a second or fifth boy, betraying the Liverpool team, but to find a big sponsor for Liverpool. Isn't that better than the Liverpool team's current life?

  Peter Moore sighed, still a little unbelievable, "Song, this is really crazy, this is the best Christmas present I've ever received before Christmas this year!"

   "I won't want it for long, Peter, you need another title of Liverpool President!"

  Peter Moore burst out laughing, feeling quite high-spirited, not like the depressed taste when he first met Song Yang.

Turning the tide, leading the Sega console to stabilize its position, avoiding being killed by Sony and Nintendo, and now there is a chance to get the position of the Liverpool team president. The days were much better.

  Peter Moore is very popular. For the game console industry, it is a bit uneasy. With the exposure of the model of Microsoft's Xbox game console, the news that another big player is going to enter the game is rumored in the console industry.

  Microsoft makes a console, a game console of four or five hundred dollars, and it sells for 299 dollars. Microsoft plays a game console, not to make money, but to make friends. The rumors are also rumored.
