Chapter 270: Flamingo-2 Game Console

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, and he laughed, "Very good!Dongfang Yuqin, you let people speak, if Bandai Company does not accept the acquisition, then Bandai Games don't want to enter the Flamingo game platform!!"

Coercion and temptation, I don't believe that Bandai will not give in!

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, her eyes condensed, and said, "Mr· Li, are you sure you do this??Bandai's games are mainly based on the company's anime and manga characters, and it has a number of loyal gamers!For example, the Gundam series of games......" After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin continued, "Nintendo has been suppressed at the moment, and if Bandai is forced to switch to their side, it is likely to give Nintendo a chance to resist!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he frowned and was silent, and after half a sound, he said thoughtfully: "Well, what you said is right, you can't lose a big one because of a small one." Well, count Bandai as lucky. Wait for Nintendo to completely collapse, and then do it to Bandai!"

"Hmm!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled and agreed.

For the time being, Bandai Company will be put on the first step, and Li Zetian urged the acquisition team to go all out to acquire Children's Treasure first.

10 days later, Childbao agreed to Li Zetian's acquisition and invested $600 million in Childbao as Disney and Flamingo Company, and Childbao Company sold a total of 60% of the shares!

In fact, the company is also trying to win over Disney and Flamingo, and with the support of these two companies, the product line of the child's treasure is much richer.

……

The second generation of the Flamingo console has been in development for 6 years, and in fact, preparations have begun since the development of the Flamingo-1 was completed.

After 6 years of sharpening a sword, the development time of the Flamingo-2 game console is quite long, but because of such a long period of development, the Flamingo-2 game console is a classic beyond the times.

The Flamingo-2 console has a roughly modeled look like Sony's PlayStation, with minor differences, just a little bigger. Of course, there is a big difference in performance, after all, the PlayStation is a 32-bit machine, the 3D graphics are great, and it was released in 1994, ten years before the Flamingo-2. And the Flamingo-2 uses an Intel8086 microprocessor, which is only a 16-bit processor, and the memory and resolution are also much smaller. However, at the moment, it is undoubtedly the most advanced home gaming console.

For the first time, the development environment of the Flamingo-2 console uses the C language, because the C language has a rich library of functions, which is conducive to the development of the game.

As for the Flamingo-2, the price is more expensive, at $250, after all, the hardware configuration of this console is very high. In fact, the cost of manufacturing is close to $200, and retailers make money, so Flamingo barely makes much money on hardware. Li Zetian was worried that accidents would occur during the transition from game cartridge to game CD, so for the sake of conservatism, he chose to sell it at a "low price" and occupy the market first!

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of November 15th, Flamingo held a product launch conference, and the Flamingo-2 game console made its debut at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, which couldn't help but shock the audience and won full applause!

The audience watching the press conference in front of the TV was also amazed by the Flamingo-2, the CD game console really looked cooler and more dazzling than the cassette game console, full of fashion and technology, and immediately fascinated gamers!

With the release of the new machine, in addition to the sequel to the classic game, there are more fun new games, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Squirrel Wars, Mega Man, Bomberman, Adventure Island, Street Fighter, etc., which are dizzying, itchy, and eager to play now.

The Flamingo-2 console was unexpectedly popular, and as soon as the press conference ended, countless gamers called the company to pre-order one.

However, the official release date was set for December 1, 1984, during the Christmas Sale.

……

At this moment, there is a cloud of gloom hanging over the interior of Nintendo.

They also saw Flamingo-2 and the games released, and they couldn't help but be deeply hit.

The new innovative design and superior performance completely crush the FC.

FC game consoles can't even do Flamingo-1, and at this time, Flamingo-2 is about to be released, and FC will be completely defeated.

"President Pu Yamauchi, since the Flamingo company's product launch, FC consoles and game cartridges on the platform have not been sold! Countless players are looking forward to December 1st......" an employee sighed with a bitter face.

In the past year, the total sales of FC reached 75,000 units, and because the price was too low, Nintendo could not make money at all, and the FC in the warehouse was piled up and could not be sold. In addition, the sales of game cartridges are not promising. Coupled with the company's various expenses, Nintendo has lost at least $100 million this year!

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Nintendo, which is not strong.

Now, Nintendo's financial statements have not yet come out, and as a listed company, the stock price will definitely fall like a dog in this case.

Yamauchi Pu really wants to cry now, he never expected that the Flamingo Company would develop such a powerful game console in such a short period of time, "The Flamingo Company is probably already developing the Flamingo-2 game console......" Yamauchi Pu guessed, at this moment, his heart suddenly regretted it.

"Although the performance of FC's game console is stronger than that of Flamingo-1, it is weaker than Flamingo-2, and at the moment, it seems that the development of FC is in vain. Nintendo's years of hard work have all come to naught!"

After speaking, Yamauchi Pu drank a glass of sake on the table, his mouth full of bitterness.

"President, is the FC game console business still persistent? Personnel salaries, factories, shops, warehouses, etc. are all a lot of expenses...... FC doesn't make money, and you can't make ends meet!"

Yamauchi Pu frowned, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, he wanted to give up FC, but he was extremely reluctant.

"Let's take a look at the sales of Flamingo-2 first, and then we will make a decision on December 1st!" Yamauchi said.

"Okay, President. ”

……

Half a month has passed in a flash.

On December 1, Flamingo-2 was released worldwide.

Before dawn, the white fog was vast, and there were long queues in front of shops all over the world, some of which were even more than 100 meters......

"Why don't you come early?" one player said in an interview. Li's urine sex, I must have to go hungry again, there are not many flamingos-2, if I don't buy them now, I won't be able to buy them for a long time in the future! If I can't play Flamingo-2, it will drive me crazy! So, I'd rather come to the queue early than buy the next game console! Hehe, I also brought the Flamingo-1 and the game cartridge that I only bought this year. The Flamingo promised that as long as there was no problem with the old machine, it would be able to trade in the old for an extra $150, and 5 game cartridges could be exchanged for 1 game CD......"
