While Senxia is distressed because of the role, on the other hand, the Christmas holiday is coming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Sega, which had been in the limelight for a month, fell into tension and uneasiness.

The reason is simple, because there is not enough stock.

NEC, as a typical pig teammate, directly pitted DC.

Christmas is definitely a peak sales season, but unfortunately, Sega is not able to increase production right now.

“...... In other words, even during the Christmas holidays, we will only be able to stock up to 300,000 units?"

This is definitely a bad thing, and Masao Chiba, as the director, is now on Sega's side to understand the situation.

But it's a pity that even Chiba Masao can't change anything, and the director can only say that he has influence on the president, not that he can act by his own will, but fortunately, Okawa Gong is on Chiba Masao's side.

"It's about the same before the Christmas holidays, if you continue to work overtime during the Christmas period, there will probably be no problem, and NEC will probably be able to solve the yield problem in January, and then the shipment will not be a problem. "The answer to Chiba Masao was that it was the current president of Sega, Shoichiro Irito.

Originally, according to the earliest plan, Sega DC was supposed to be launched in 1999, but later in order to catch up with the Christmas schedule and suppress Sony, Shoichiro Irito decided to advance the plan to 1998.

And that's not all, after bringing forward the December sale, he felt that the time was too tight, so he brought the time forward to November 27 again.

In addition, in order to allow Sega to concentrate on the development of the DreamCast game console, Shoichiro Iriko announced that the Sega Saturn SS game console will retire from the stage of history.

Among the so-called veteran gamers who want to be killed the most, Shoichiro Iriko is definitely in the top three.

Hearing the other party's report, Chiba Masao frowned.

"Our sales target is to reach 1 million units by February, but now it's going to be difficult. He remembered Sega's plan, and it wasn't something that could be done easily.

1 million units, if you go according to the initial plan, it is not difficult to achieve, but after a month of being out of stock, things become a little delicate.

"Big husband, cute big milk!" Shoichiro Iriko was very confident, he patted his chest and said, "Now, our DreamCast is the best machine on the market!

In 1998, while players were still playing N64, PS and SS, a new generation of Sega DC appeared.

The new DC, the players scare the players.

This is the real next generation, the real great game console.

Shoichiro Iriko has absolute confidence in their host, and at this point, the absolute owner of their console has an unrivaled advantage.

Moreover, DC was high-spec hardware from the beginning, and Shoichiro Iriko knew that Sony would definitely develop the second generation of PS, but he was not afraid.

If Sony can win once, can it win a second time?

I can fight back!

This belief is not only shared by Shoichiro, but also by many people within Sega.

But after hearing the news, Chiba Masao over there frowned.

Sega is now very confident in their new machine from the bottom up. At the beginning, many people were panicked because of the lack of production, but after that, the advantages brought by hunger marketing even increased the popularity and popularity of DreamCast by a notch.

At this time, quite a few people began to swell.

Chiba Masao came to talk to Shoichiro Iriko today, and originally wanted to clarify this issue with the other party, but now it seems that the situation is not good.

"Mr. Okawa and I share the same ideas, but the other directors think ......"

Sega's directors have no strategic vision.

This is something that Masao Chiba realized after entering Sega.

These people are more concerned about whether their interests are lost than Sega's interests. If their own interests are not damaged, Sega has some losses, and in their opinion, this is also acceptable.

After settling in Sega, Chiba Masao discovered many secrets of Sega.

For example, Tom Kalinske, former vice president of Sega's North American division, proposed a strategy to develop new game consoles with Sony at the earliest stage.

At that time, Sony happened to be put on a position by Nintendo, and it was being ruined, if Sega had cooperated with Sony in the past at that time, PS This game console is likely to be jointly produced by Sega and Sony.

――Actually, it wasn't Sega who went to Sony, it was Sony who came to Sega.

The group led by Tom Karinske strongly agreed with the cooperation with Sony, and they prepared a lot of materials to demonstrate the advantages of cooperating with Sony, and its persuasiveness made Chiba Masao see it and feel that it was a good idea to cooperate with the other party.

In fact, Tom and the others had already agreed with Sony that as soon as the board approved it, they would open champagne to celebrate, and then devote themselves to something greater.

――However, the directors of Sega thought that Sony would take away the profits, and it might also affect their own arcade industry, so when Tom and the others thought that their plan could be approved, they were unexpectedly rejected.

After that, everyone knows - Play_Station came out of nowhere, punched Nintendo, kicked Sega, and became the unrivaled great game console of the next generation.

In 1996, Tom Karinske finally chose to leave Sega.

- By the way, this Mr. Tom is not an unknown person, he also has the nickname "Father of Barbie".

"If the cooperation with Sony had been successful at that time, there would not have been so many things......

Chiba Masao muttered in his heart.

He looked at Shoichiro Irito, the president of Sega, who is now very optimistic about DC, and in his opinion, the next Sony will be crushed by them every minute.

"Another problem is that our third-party developers have bypassed the WINCE environment to develop when developing, and in the absence of the CE environment, the development difficulty has become very large, which greatly affects the development progress, which is very detrimental to us. What are your strategies for dealing with this?"

The question that Chiwa Masao said made Shoichiro Iriko frown.

The WIN environment is a very good development environment, and for now, it is no problem to determine that the development environment of the DC is the best for all console platforms.

――However, the trick is that the current Japanese manufacturers have chosen to bypass this environment for development, and the characteristics of the Japanese comic are vividly played at this time, and they deliberately choose to bypass this environment to develop games, just to circumvent WINCE, and as a result, the development difficulty has increased greatly, and the progress of many games has also been affected.

The main developers who use the WINCE environment are mainly game manufacturers in North America, and there are very few in Japan that use this environment.

It's another super troublesome thing.

But then, Shoichiro Iriko was still full of confidence: "Don't worry, Mr. Chiba." We have Capcom as an example, their next generation of Resident Evil will be released on our DC platform, and the killer title that we are working on on SS will also be developed on DC, so we have a big advantage!"

However, when he heard Shoichiro Iriko say this, Chiba Masao suddenly thought of what he heard from his daughter about Amami Mori Natsu's evaluation of Sega:

DreamCast: This is the end!

Although at the beginning, Animic chose to hug Sega's thighs, but from his daughter's side, Chiba Masao knew Mori Xia's true attitude towards DC.

Although he also played games on DC, a closer look reveals that whether it is "Plants vs. Zombies" or "Guilty Crown", they are all ported from other platforms.

Chiwa Masao also heard that they are going to develop a new work recently, and they will invest a lot of manpower and money in the production of this work.

However, this work will not only be put into the DC platform, in fact, this work is released for both PC and DC platforms, and the reason why it is not on the PS platform is simply because this platform really can't run their new game.

Not only that, Chiba Masao also knows that Mori Xia is very concerned about Sony's movements.

Chiba Masao has no doubt that if PS2 really comes out, no matter how his daughter stops it, Mori Xia should run to Sony's arms!

After talking to Shoichiro Irito, Chiba Masao became even more worried.

If it were his own company, he would never allow someone to drag their feet and dump each other, but Sega is the brainchild of Okawa Gong after all, and Chiba Masao can only restrain his temper.

Moreover, Mr. Okawa's health has not been good recently, and the other directors and upper echelons also have their own plans, and at this time, Masao Chiba has no way to suppress the frenzied emotions within Sega.

"Maybe Mori Natsu-kun has some unique insight into the Sega Society?"

Chiba Masao thought of Mori Xia, obviously he was just a high school student, but he seemed to have seen through Sega, and there were some situations that he knew after entering Sega for a long time, but looking at Mori Xia's appearance, it seemed that he had already known what was going to happen.

Maybe he'll have a unique insight?

So, do you want to go ahead and talk to him?
