Ken Kutaragi is in a good mood right now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some time ago, Sega had a great advantage, and after DC came out, its powerful performance and popularity were really eye-catching.

In the beginning, DreamCast was facing a shortage of stock, but their strategy was to avoid this danger beautifully and maintain the popularity of DC.

But all this is in the past.

At first, it's fine that you're done playing like this, but when it's Christmas break, and you still want to be so late, you're just dead!

Wowha!

Yes, as Senxia complained, behind this incident, Sony is indeed behind the scenes.

After DC was just launched, the popularity of this game console almost caught Sony off guard.

Before DC went public, Kenkazu Kutaragi's think tank conducted a round of analysis of Sega.

In their opinion, Sega has done a lot of unnecessary moves, adding network systems, adding hard disk systems, completely non-mainstream controllers, and the stupidity of the strategy of sticking to the arcade, which are unnecessary in Sony's opinion.

- You have so much money, why don't you put a DVD?

"Sega, you guys are still too young, too simple!" Kuda Ragi Ken was in a very happy mood, he said a recent popular Internet hot word, it seems to have come from that Animic club, Kutaragi Ken felt that this sentence was really useful, full of the wisdom of the elders.

The Japanese were very good at detail, and through the analysis of Sega's strategy, they quickly came to the conclusion that Sega's view of game consoles was still purely at the level of "games", so they did not think of applying DVD-ROM.

And for Sony, they're geared towards home entertainment.

- Speaking of which, Sony also hopes that Sega will be able to use DVD-ROM, because it means that the other party also acknowledges Sony's DVD strategy.

It's like HD-DVD losing out to Blu-ray, and if Sega can use DVD, it means that they recognize Sony's hegemony in this area.

For Sen Xia, if he was in charge of DC, he would probably not hesitate to cut unnecessary accessories and then smash the pot and sell iron on the DVD. For the "future", DVD is a thigh, not hugging nothing, and before Sega has the ability to compete with Sony in this regard, it is not a matter of course to adopt a mature solution.

Senxia is such a person who has no discipline.

But Sega apparently didn't think much of it, perhaps because of the cost, or maybe because of hostility, they used GD-ROM, that is, encrypted and compressed CD-ROM.

However, in Sony's view, this is their weakness, plus the operational strategy of killing chickens and eggs.

You are dead teeth!

After noticing the opposite strategy, Ken Kutaragi adopted a special strategy.

When Sega was using a hungry sales strategy, Sony was fanning the flames behind it.

NEC's yield rate did not escape Sony's analysis, and after that, Sony silently promoted the dissatisfaction of players behind it.

It's like this time.

"Players are still protesting to Sega. At this time, Kutaragi Ken was sitting in a car where it was located in a Sega store.

And at this time, the players protested at the door - because at this time, because at this time, today's Sega has sold the quota of DC again.

And as Christmas approaches, Sega can be said to have completely screwed up the matter.

A smile appeared on Ken Kutaragi's face.

If it weren't for Sony's push in the back, Sega might be able to avoid the crisis caused by this shortage in January next year, but unfortunately, during the Christmas holiday, the dissatisfaction of players, fueled by well-intentioned people, finally broke out.

"Why don't you sell us DC!"

"yes, I still want to play online VR Warriors!"

These people, without exception, are die-hard fans of Sega, but as die-hard fans, they can't buy Sega's new game console at this time, which is a kind of betrayal for them emotionally!

However, the salesperson and the store manager have no choice at this time, they can only keep bending down and bowing at this time, and apologize to the players, but if they want to come up with the source, this is really impossible.

- In fact, at this time, DC, because Sega discovered the benefits of Hunger Sales, plus DC added a lot of additional accessories, so the production was even smaller than in history.

How did that sentence come about, Sega, who escaped the catastrophe, but faced a more serious problem because of laziness, people will die if they die, NO_ZUO_NO_DIE!

Seeing Sega's current situation, Ken Kutaragi was in a good mood, and he asked the driver to continue driving, and then went to his office.

After arriving at the office, Ken Kutaragi arrived at the conference room.

"How's the PS2 publicity?"

- Yes, the PS2 will also be released at Christmas.

"Hey, President, the materials are ready, we can announce the news at any time, and the media has taken care of everything. The secretary handed the prepared documents to Ken Kutaragi.

But Kutaragi Ken didn't look at the documents, but continued: "Don't worry about this, we are going to completely crush Sega from the publicity. ”

Although the PS2 is still only on paper, there is no solution, on the contrary, because it is a paper thing, they can put the plane completely casually.

"Also, I read your previous copy, and this won't work!" he added, "When we were promoting, we were going to say that Sony's PS2 would be ten times better than DC in terms of performance!"

“…… Huh?" the secretary froze when he heard Ken Kutaragi's words.

My family knows my family's affairs, DC is the most advanced machine now, yes, even if PS2 appears, it seems unlikely that it will be ten times more than DC, in fact, their previous copy said that it is twice as good as Sega DC, which already makes them feel a little blushing.

"President, how can our PS2 be to this extent?" the secretary didn't dare to ask the other party about this foolish strategy, but put forward a view euphemistically.

However, Ken Kutaragi smiled and said, "Anyway, it's just a propaganda strategy, even if we say that PS2 can simulate the earth, it's okay!"

Hey, that's a good sentence, simulating the earth!

Ken Kutaragi felt that he was simply a genius, and such an interesting propaganda slogan came to mind.

In the future, when promoting PS2, you can use this sentence, even if PS2 is not used, when the time comes to change to PS3, we can also use it on the new machine!

Although the PS2 has not yet been produced, Ken Kutaragi is very confident in Sony, not only the PS2, but also the PS3 on our side in the future!

In Kutaragi's opinion, this kind of thing is gradually appropriate.

The only thing he is worried about is Sega, and now he is on the road to death and will not look back, Nintendo is now a scum who relies on the handheld to survive, this era, it is the Sony dynasty!

After hearing Ken Kutaragi's words, the secretary here had no choice but to agree.

Later, he listened to his president continue, "By the way, Sega's network system seems to be very popular. ”

"Hi. The secretary nodded, then opened the document in his hand, and said, "Sega DC's network system has attracted a lot of attention in the Omi region, and many people are interested in the network system, and said that they will choose Sega DC because of the network function." There are many people who are interested in Japan, but more than 80% of them believe that the functionality of the Internet will not affect their choice. ”

"We also advertise that PS2 can be used on the Internet and that it will provide a smooth online experience. Kutaragi Ken immediately came up with targeted propaganda.

“…… But we didn't use the network module on the PS2......"

The Secretary noted a problem.

"We provide an expansion interface, I think it seems to have the function of networking!" "Kutaragi Ken felt that the more the secretary in front of him looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, why couldn't this guy's head be opened?

But the secretary couldn't laugh or cry: "But we use a telephone line dial-up connection, which is not at the same level as the DC network application......

Home fiber broadband, you use dial-up Internet access, this is not a level of PK at all!

56K dial-up Internet access, basically the current norm, this speed is not even 10KB network speed, and Sega DC uses a fiber optic network card, which has no way to compare!

"What are you afraid of, as far as the Internet is concerned, dial-up Internet access in China is the mainstream, and the number of users in this part is very small, it will not have an impact on sales at all, as long as you can firmly grasp the domestic market, Omi is slightly occupied by Sega Some insignificant markets, what is this!"

In Kutara Kiken's view, the Internet is not popular at all now, at least in five years, Europe and the United States are indeed a little more advanced, but the people who use the Internet are also a minority, Sony's PS2 now does not need to add redundant functions for a small number of people.

As for what happens when broadband becomes universal?

What are you afraid of, then you will have to develop a new machine!

In Kutaragi's view, these problems are not a problem at all!

"It's just our propaganda strategy, as long as we can completely suppress Sega in this wave, this is our victory!"

He said this to his secretary in a serious tone.

“…… Hi. ”

Mr. Secretary's mood right now is mixed.

He always felt that this propaganda method seemed to be a little delicate.

Is there really no problem with that?

Although he was worried, the president apparently didn't have any opinion on it.

Even if Sega is dissatisfied, what can they say?

As long as this wave crushes Sega and puts DC in the dustbin of history, there is no way for them to turn over.

After that, don't you just do what you want?

Nintendo has no way to challenge Sony, and Sega will collapse by then, what will be able to stop itself then?

Do you still expect Microsoft to make a console?

Hahahaha, what a naïve idea!

Do you know the 3DO game console launched back then? Obviously the performance is so good, it's not like it will collapse?

The current DC is the previous 3DO mouth!

Kutaragi Ken now feels that Sony can start blowing the horn of attack, and the first wave should be Sega.

……

"What a hassle......"

When Chiba Masao knew that there was a commotion in many of Sega's stores, he knew that the matter seemed more complicated than he thought.

It's a big deal.

Obviously, it was a good strategy at the beginning, but at this time, the player's patience has reached the limit, and the original excellent strategy has also become a failure at this time.

Sega, which still has not solved the production problem, can only choose a limited edition at Christmas.

Not only that, but Sega internally, on the contrary, feels that this kind of hungry sales strategy is very good, using this method to maintain the heat, making money while playing monkeys, and not worrying about the yield rate, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

However, Sega's negligence caused the current problem.

Among them, Chiba Masao has realized that behind the whole thing, there must be someone else who is making trouble, whether it is Nintendo or Sony, they have all entered the blacklist of Chiba Masao.

Realizing this, Chiba Masao also reminded Sega to pay attention to this matter, and sent someone to stop those who were "rhythmic" among the players.

But Chiba Masao also knows that the contradiction of the whole thing, in the final analysis, is that the NEC yield rate is too low to cause them to face DC production that cannot keep up.

There is no way to eliminate the contradiction until this problem is resolved.

But this time...... What should I do?

Although Chiba Masao is aware of the problem, he is not in the position of president, and there is no way at this moment.

"If this had always been the case, I would have been gone a long time ago......"

If he is replaced by Chiba Masao, if he can't get the right to speak, he is likely to get rid of all his shares at a high price before this, that is, when DC has just been listed, go to the receiver, and then he can leave it alone.

But now, he can't.

"Sen Xiajun's guess is really ......"

He shook his head.

"Well, find a way to public relations, and then survive these few days, after the New Year, the situation should be alleviated. ”

However, at this time, Chiba Masao received a phone call.

After answering the phone, Chiba Masao's face turned even darker.

- According to the news, Sony is already preparing to announce the news of PS2.
