Back To 1995: Chapter 785 wolf is coming

It is still the conference room at the Nintendo headquarters that seems to have not been changed for decades. In fact, this conference room has been renovated several times before and after, and the Nintendo headquarters has also been expanded and renovated. Yamauchi, he sat there as if the whole Nintendo had not changed!

   "Microsoft Xbox console?"

   Yamauchi Pu, who was already in his old age, snorted, obviously disdainful of Microsoft.

   "People always don't recognize themselves, just like ants, they are never self-sufficient and want to challenge elephants!"

Yamauchi shook his head and said that his impression of Microsoft was still the last time. Microsoft headquarters sent executives to come to Nippon to find Nintendo's door and wanted to cooperate with Nintendo, but after being mocked by Nintendo for a while, blasted out.

Now I suddenly hear that Microsoft has also developed a console called Xbox, and it costs more than 400 US dollars to sell it for 300 US dollars. In Yamauchi's view, Microsoft is not afraid of Nintendo, only Can you rely on selling low-priced game consoles?

   In the face of Yamauchi's mockery of Microsoft, none of the Nintendo executives in the conference room objected, and many people laughed along with them.

No one dares to disobey Yamauchi Pu. As he gets older, Yamauchi's suspicion becomes more serious. In the past few decades, he has been able to continuously promote executives, discover and use talents eclectically, but in recent years, Yamauchi has What he did was to keep tightening the power in his hands, as if he was afraid that his executives would initiate chaos and drive him out of Nintendo.

Everyone knows that Yamauchi will not be the president of Nintendo for a few years, but no one wants to be the cannon fodder who dares to provoke Yamauchi. If the tiger does not leave the forest for a day, he is still the king of the entire forest. Anyone who dares to challenge the status of a tiger will have to be bitten by a tiger who proves that he is not old!

  There was no movement at the Nippon headquarters. As the president of Nintendo's North American branch, Yamauchi Hiroshi's son-in-law, Arakawa Mi, had to speak.

  Riben is far away from America. I don’t know what the scene is here. He dares to despise Microsoft, but Arakawa is in America and faces all kinds of opponents.

"Microsoft's Xbox game console is produced by Sega, and Sega's console technology is absolutely qualified. The main components of the Xbox console are supplied by PA Semiconductor and Alcatel mobile phones, and they are also the top components. .

   "Wired" magazine believes that Microsoft's Xbox game console is in the new era of game consoles. Even if the Xbox console is not as good as Wired magazine said, it will definitely not be too bad in design.

In addition, the Xbox console also has a number of exclusive games. Robbie Bach, head of Microsoft's "Entertainment and Devices" department, announced that the Microsoft Xbox platform will launch several exclusive games for Halo and Age of Empires, and Snow Mountain Games will also be available for Xbox. The host supplies "Diablo 2", "Grand Theft Auto", "Quake 2" and other games. In the future, EA will also announce its cooperation with Microsoft.

  Microsoft's Xbox console may become one of Nintendo's most important rivals in North America and even the world! "

  Arakawa really reminded my father-in-law that Microsoft is not so easy to deal with. In the past, Microsoft’s performance on hardware devices was very true.

   But this time, under Microsoft's powerful US knife offensive, a group of dog-legs were brought in to help.

   Microsoft has foreign aid. Sega, a slasher, actually helped Microsoft develop game consoles. Coupled with Alcatel mobile phones and PA Semiconductor’s money-seeking stuff, they really helped Microsoft.

   This made Arakawa feel that this time, I am afraid that the wolf is really coming. In the future, I am afraid that there will be another name on the list of Nintendo's opponents!

   But Yamauchi, when he heard Arakawa Minoru and dared to question his words, called out to the phone on the conference room table with some anger, "Then what do you think Nintendo should do with the Xbox console and fight it on price?"

Arakawa, who was sitting in his North American office, was a little stunned when he heard the angry voice of his father-in-law. He was just reporting the most real situation here to Pu Yamauchi, but he did not expect to be reprimanded by Pu Yamauchi. Arakawa was a little overwhelmed for a while.

   Yamauchi's response is actually not wrong. Now Nintendo is the defender, and Sega and Microsoft Xbox are the ones to attack the arena. At this time, Microsoft has not really made a move. How should Nintendo make a move.

But Yamauchi Pu's attitude towards Arakawa Mio has made other Nintendo executives, whether it is Yokoi Junpei who is in charge of the development department, veteran Miyamoto Shigeru, or Iwata Satoshi, who has been highly regarded by Yamauchi in recent years, and others. There was silence all the time, and no one dared to make a sound.

   Yamauchi Pu, who was getting thinner and thinner, looked sharply at the executives in the conference room. He was annoyed, not because Arakawa gave him advice, but dared to question his words. This is Yamauchi Pu, which is unacceptable!

To be honest, for Yamauchi, who has been in charge of Nintendo for nearly 50 years for half a century, the most important thing now is not to defeat the old rival Sony, and kill the challengers such as Sega and Microsoft, but to maintain his words in Nintendo. The status of Jiuding.

What Yamauchi cares about is whether he can still firmly control Nintendo in the last few years, how will he be evaluated in the Nintendo history books, and even in the history of Japanese Benzene's video games, the rest, Yamauchi is not now. Care too much, at least not in the first place!

   "As long as I'm here, no one can beat Nintendo in the field of gaming devices, not the former Sega and Sony, nor the future Microsoft!"

   Yamauchi got up, patted the table with his body that had become thin due to age, just like he would tell the people at Nintendo every time he had trouble for decades.

   But this time, after Yamauchi finished speaking, there was a burst of applause after a long time.

   "Yamauchi is old!"

  Even though Yamauchi kept stressing that he was still old and strong and could lead Nintendo to defeat any opponent, the Nintendo executives in the conference room couldn't help but look worried when faced with the authoritarian Yamauchi.

Anyone with discernment in Nintendo can see that Yamauchi, who grew up with Nintendo, is already old. In fact, as early as a few years ago, when the Sony PS console appeared, Nintendo was already somewhat decayed. No one knows how far Nintendo can go, not only for Nintendo, but also for Yamauchi Pu, who has a lot of money. Son, I lost my confidence...

   The game console industry is surging, and Microsoft has been eyeing this industry. After waiting for so many years, it finally came up with a game console. It must be a big fight.

  Bill Gates threw a knife and ordered 5 million Xbox consoles in one go to Sega, the OEM of the Xbox console. Obviously, he was ready to smash it with a knife, and he would also smash out a game console empire!

  Nintendo is still tepid. It doesn’t say much about the emergence of Microsoft’s Xbox. It doesn’t seem to care about it at all, while Sony seems to take it seriously and directly announced that it will develop the next-generation PS console.

In the game console industry, it seems that it is going to be raging again, forming a battlefield of four major brands. In fact, it is the three major brands. Sega and Microsoft are standing together, at least they are still inseparable. Sega and Microsoft must compete with Sony and Nintendo. Break your wrist!

The console industry is undercurrent, and for many game makers, they have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. In the past, only Nintendo and Sony could choose two console platforms. slaughter, but after all, there is a little more room for bargaining.

   The Bruno Yankees Sports Company, which was just established not long ago, is headquartered in New York. This is the base camp of the Yankees and the site where the Steinbrenner family has been operating for decades. The connections are here.

  Old Steinbrenner, after all, did not stand aside, and arranged a few capable men to Bruno Family Sports Company to help Hank.

With the presence of the old Steinbrenner, Song Yang's side was relieved. The first thing after the establishment of Bruno Yankee Sports Company was to set up a number of overseas foundations in England and Europe and other places. PayPal payment and several institutions on Wall Street have created the world's first sports event foundation.

  Peter Moore also publicly announced that he would launch an acquisition of the Premier League Liverpool team. The Sports Events Foundation announced that it would join Peter Moore's acquisition group and proposed a purchase price of 100 million pounds to the Liverpool team!

Everyone knows that Peter Moore is from Song Yang and has a close relationship with Bruno Yankee Sports, but as long as Peter Moore doesn't admit it and Bruno Yankee doesn't acknowledge it, no matter who it is, there's nothing wrong with taking this acquisition. The Premier League also welcomes new big money owners. Only with the participation of big money owners can more stars be recruited and the ratings can be increased. All teams and leagues can sit and share money. As for Bruno Yankee Sports, they are jealous of the Premier League. Broadcasting rights, the Premier League did not directly refuse...
