Chapter 645 Empire Game's Strongest Competitor!Nintendo and Sony! !

If you want to say that the biggest competitor of Toyo's arcade game hall is the pachinko game hall.

Then Yang Ming always thought.

The biggest competitor of Empire Games is either Toyo's Nintendo or Sony.

Historically, Nintendo is a Toyo company mainly engaged in the development of video game software and hardware. It is one of the three giants in the global video game industry and is known as the pioneer of the modern video game industry.

Nintendo was founded on September 1889, 9. It started with the production of flower cards. It entered the video game industry in the late 23s. In 1970, it launched the first-generation home game console FC.

However, Empire Games has developed Nintendo's most important home game console, the red and white machine, in advance.

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

Even so, in Yang Ming's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Dongyang people to give up the video game industry easily, especially seeing the huge profits of Empire Games in this area.

Yang Ming came to Dongyang this time 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 knew that Nintendo's current development in the video game industry in Toyo is still very good, even surpassing Taito.However, he still couldn't understand why the boss kept mentioning Nintendo to him.

When Yang Ming and others crossed two streets.

Yang Ming has already seen a building displaying a Nintendo advertisement.

Historically, the real development of Nintendo was the appearance of the red and white machine and the appearance of the game "Super Mario Bros."

However, the current Nintendo is actually different from Yang Ming's imagination.

Now Nintendo's strength is close to, even surpassing Kogan's Taito, but compared with Empire Games, it is not worth mentioning at all.

If at this time, Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo, knew that Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, had come to inspect the Oriental market, or even come to see his company showroom, he might have knelt in front of Yang Ming.

Now, when Yang Ming and his group came over, they looked very low-key, dressed no differently from other tourists.

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

Maybe some people have played it and have been in contact with it, but Yang Ming has basically never heard of it.

Nintendo's most famous "Super Mario Bros." 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 contained 6 simple versions of tennis games. , sold millions of copies.

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

Nintendo began to design a portable device Game & Watch, which was launched in 1980 by Gunhei Yokoi. Game & Watch proves popular innovations, and more successful ventures than ever before.

Developed a gaming watch that combines LCD electronic games with digital dials.

It's a major achievement for Nintendo, taking it to a new level.

Nintendo entrusts processing, and 30 cooperative factories operate day and night, and the market is still in short supply.In 1980 alone, 6000 million sets 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, Nintendo's portable game consoles have been dead, and sales have become less and less.On the contrary, the handheld and red and white machines of Empire Game Company 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 formidable 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 it wasn't for him from the future, it would be really hard for any other game company to match Nintendo.

Historically, Nintendo has also stepped on Taidong, and even, Atari Corporation of M Country.

Today, Yang Ming has not only developed Nintendo's red and white machines in history, but also the most popular "Super Mario Bros.", which can be regarded as developing on the foot of Nintendo.

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

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

leave here.

"Xu Qingsheng, I want to see Sony."

Sony?

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

Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft Corporation.

Nintendo, Yang Ming just watched it.

Now Microsoft still exists, but it has been replaced by Yang Ming's Supersoft, so it may be difficult to improve.

That leaves Sony now.

However, Sony and Nintendo have developed differently.

Sony started with transistor technology, then black and white televisions, video tapes, and the Walkman in the late 70s.

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

In May 1992, under the betrayal of Nintendo, Kutaragi Ken made every effort to develop a new generation of game consoles from the top management decision-maker at the time, Norio Oga.

Norio Ohga strongly endorsed Ken Kutaragi’s game console development plan amidst the many voices of opposition. In 1993, Sony’s “Toyo Sony Music” established Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and planned to develop it under the codename “PS-X”. A new generation of CD-ROM game consoles is fighting against the game market dominated by Nintendo.

Afterwards, Sony launched a series of PS game consoles, with sales of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of units, which completely established Sony's position in game consoles, and it could also 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 is now focusing on electrical products and video tapes, which is different from Nintendo's research and development direction.

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

It's impossible to avoid it.

Yang Ming was watching there.

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

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

Whether it is a TV, a video tape, or a walkman, etc., it seems that there is no handover with the Empire Game Company.

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

This is why in history, Sony first cooperated with Nintendo, and soon after being betrayed by Nintendo, it took a different path alone.

Because Nintendo had already seen Sony's strength in this regard at that time, it naturally took the lead first.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was eventually dominated by Sony, splitting the world with Nintendo in Toyo, and even becoming one of the world's three major game industry giants.
