The reporter was stunned, and then interviewed a few more people, and the answer was similar.

There are not a few people who trade in their old ones, and at least half of them are holding bags or cartons, which obviously contain the Flamingo first-generation console and game cartridges.

The reporter was very puzzled in his heart, and said to himself: "What did the Flamingo Company do when it bought back the Flamingo-1 game console and game cartridge?"

Of course, he did not know that piracy was rampant in Chinese mainland and Taiwan, and Li Zetian bought back the Flamingo-1 game console to stop these pirates.

In the 80s, Taiwanese pirated "little genius game consoles" soon appeared and became popular in Taiwan and the mainland.

In the 90s, the mainland pirated "Xiaobawang game console" was born and quickly occupied the Chinese mainland market.

Nintendo in the previous life was basically in a state of confusion, and I couldn't figure it out, and the piracy would kill the genuine rout, and in the end, I could only let it go.

Prosecute them?

Oh, and if the law works, can piracy still be so rampant?

Piracy thrives because it's cheap and it's still profitable.

If you want to beat piracy, it's cheaper than piracy.

Chinese mainland has a population of more than one billion people and a huge market, and according to Li Zetian's experience in his previous life, most people in the 80s grew up playing Xiaobawang game consoles.

……

Electronics stores around the world were crowded with people, and the Flamingo-2 game console was on sale, and from morning to evening, there was an endless stream of people queuing up, and the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented! The Flamingo Company's specialty stores were even more crowded, blocking the roads, so that the traffic police were dispatched to organize order.

Previously, Apple launched CD-alkman, and people can't help but love CDs.

The Flamingo company launched the CD-ROM type of Flamingo game console this time, which is also very popular.

It can be said that the huge charm of CD-ROM cannot be stopped, and the game cartridge looks dirty, but any player who has a bit of fashion pursuit will disdain the game cartridge.

Every time a customer looks at a Flamingo-2, the Flamingo Company is very considerate to give a beautiful and delicate disc bag, which can be stored and carried. Although the disc bag is not worth a few dollars, it looks tall and high, and it has raised the level of the entire game console!

And how can a big and thick thing like a game cartridge be easy to carry?

The Flamingo-2 was a hot mess, and in one day, the total number of machines sold worldwide was as high as 3.25 million, of which 1.8 million were trade-in, and more than 24 million CD game discs were sold!

Li Zetian asked Nolan Bushnell to deliberately announce the sales results of Flamingo Company, and as soon as the news came out, the performance was against the sky, causing a sensation in the industry. Third-party game developers are reassured that they only recognize the Flamingo Company and no longer have two hearts. And some start-up game development companies that are preparing to enter the game industry have also contacted Flamingo. At the same time, it also deterred other companies that wanted to get involved in the game console market, they coveted the game console market, and they were ready to move, but there was Heaven and other companies as a lesson from the past, so they did not dare to set foot easily, and now, as soon as the sales results of the Flamingo-2 came out, they were even more afraid to do so.

Flamingo-2 is so popular, selling more than 3 million units in one day, wouldn't it be dead if a company enters the game console market at this time?

At this moment, it is rainy in Japan, and Nintendo's headquarters is as gloomy as this rainy day.

As soon as he got the sales data of Flamingo-2, he was strangled to hear a thunderbolt from the sky, and President Yamauchi almost vomited blood and fell into a coma.

"This, this can't be true......" Yamauchi Pu said slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"President, it's true, Nolan Bushnell, the CEO of Flamingo Corporation, told the media personally, can he still lie in front of the media?" said a short, balding middle-aged man with a pair of nasty toad eyes.

Yamauchi Pu was silent, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's true, the news from all over the world says that Flamingo-2 is extremely popular, and there are queues outside the store all day long. The Flamingo company's trade-in strategy was very successful, and at least half of them brought the first-generation Flamingo game console to get a new one! And the grapevine has always said that the Flamingo -2 has not much inventory, and the Flamingo company wants to engage in hunger marketing, which scares many players and makes them all focus on the first day of the Flamingo-2 release for snap purchases! A variety of reasons are intertwined, so that the sales of Flamingo-2 have exploded, reaching an astonishing and terrifying figure!

Hearing this, everyone present was silent and depressed, and the FC game console has not sold more than 100,000 units in a year. The Flamingo-2 easily reached 3 million units on the first day, and the difference is simply worlds apart!

"President, it's time to make a decision!"

"Give up the FC console, we have to admit defeat! Stick to it, we will lose even more!"

"That's right, give up FC and bow to the Flamingo and beg them to forgive us and make our game available on the Flamingo-2 console!"

“……”

The crowd persuaded.

Yamauchi Pu seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, and his face became more and deeper, losing his sharpness and spirit.

"Okay, give up the FC console!" he said in a low voice.

After saying this, he sat down in his chair and looked at the ceiling weakly.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before someone would take his place as president.

In reality, many people choose to ignore the glory that the other person has created, and only see the sins he has committed.

Although he is the majority shareholder of Nintendo and the descendant of the founder, the company went public very early, and Yamauchi Pu is not yet absolutely and absolutely controlled, and the shareholders will definitely be very dissatisfied with him and sweep him away.

Nintendo has been brilliant under his leadership, but it is he who personally led Nintendo into hell!

On that day, Nintendo's stock price fell like an avalanche, which was terrifying.

The next day, Nintendo held a press conference, announcing that it would no longer produce FC game consoles, give up the hardware department, and be a third-party game developer with peace of mind.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

However, this is also to be expected.

Flamingo-2 is so awesome, who would dare to fight it?

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, a reporter photographed Nintendo's president Yamauchi Pu and several company executives taking a plane to Los Angeles.

"What is the intention of Nintendo's top management to go to Los Angeles this time?"

"Is Iron-Blooded President Yamauchi going to bow his head to the Flamingo Company and beg for mercy?"

“……”

The media couldn't help but talk about it.
