Chapter 556: Super Nintendo Console
Nintendo, a company, has never been a giant in the technology industry. No matter what era it is, Nintendo's hardware is not very strong.
However, Nintendo has always made a bunch of exclusive games with less advanced hardware platforms, so that players have to pinch their noses and buy Nintendo's consoles for games that can only be played on Nintendo platforms.
Originally, in terms of the closed and conservative platform, Nintendo can be called an old stubborn.
Even in the 21st century, the three giants of the console industry, such as Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and many others. Microsoft was also closed at first, and it was not even compatible with its own PC operating system. However, soon Microsoft made a series of adjustments, so that the PC of the in system can also play the games of its console platform, after all, in terms of hardware configuration, Microsoft's console and PC are the closest.
And the later Sony company, at the beginning, was also the king of enclosure, and engaged in exclusive games on its own platform. However, later on, seeing the general trend of cross-platform, and the games that could not resist Microsoft's camp could be played on both consoles and PCs, Sony eventually changed its hardware platform, making its hardware gradually similar to that of PC. It's just that later generations of PC games require high-end graphics cards and configurations, after all, PC is a general tool, and there is no deliberate enhancement of gameplay, and there is a lot of performance for game consoles, which is redundant performance. And simply buying a console to play some high-end games is more economical. After all, the price of Sony consoles in later generations is far less than a fraction of the price of high-end graphics cards.
But Nintendo is still as arrogant as ever, and many games are stubbornly exclusive and do not allow cross-platform development. As a result, Nintendo later lost a large number of third-party developers who wanted cross-platform development, and it was Nintendo's own game development department and those popular IPs that supported the Nintendo platform!
The arrogance of Nintendo in later generations was mainly due to being the boss of the game industry, and after the Atari era, the game industry once entered the Nintendo era. Historically, the game industry in the 90s was basically about the same as Nintendo's game platform and other game platforms combined.
It wasn't until later that there were more and more PC games, the rise of online games, and Nintendo's monopoly hegemony was gradually lost. In addition, console platforms are becoming more and more niche. Mainstream players are basically playing online games.
According to the trend, specialized game consoles, in the age of the Internet, are not a very promising technical route. The really promising route is to develop general-purpose computers, which can be used not only for learning, production, and production, but also for entertainment functions such as games, audio-visual networks, etc.
But at this stage, these host platforms are indeed harming the interests of Pangu Computer, the main business of Xinchuang Electronics Group!
Pangu computer is now in office and other application scenarios, and it is still continuing to make efforts. However, the easier to use graphics operating system and lower price may not impress some large companies and governments. For example, there are quite a few government agencies and companies in the United States that do not use non-IBM products.
Compared with other game consoles, Pangu is naturally a general-purpose computer. However, compared with competitors Apple computers and PCs, the more powerful thing is that Pangu computers have the most game resources. 70% of the world's third-party game manufacturers are based on the Pangu computer platform.
Game software developer, Lin Qi is not worried!
However, Lin Qi is very unhappy, those game console developers, these console developers, will affect the monopoly position of Pangu consoles in the game market. If there is no monopoly in the game market, it will also greatly affect Pangu's share of the computer market.
"Mr. Lin, Nintendo is menacing this time, I heard that Microsoft, Intel, Sony and other companies have brought the latest technologies that they have not listed and applied to Nintendo, and at a price far lower than the supply price of the PC market, they strongly support Nintendo. Not long after, Uejima had already come up with an update message, "But the specific content is still not available!"
"Hmm!" Lin Qi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, unless the other party's product will never be listed, otherwise, it is impossible to achieve complete secrecy!"
……
After a short period of 8 days, Nintendo, together with Sony, Microsoft, Intel, IBM and other giants, called for a press conference on January 10, 89.
Uejima also quietly got the admission ticket, and let Lin Qi also sneak into the other party's press conference.
In the middle of the huge venue, there is enough space to accommodate 10,000 people, and the scene is very hot.
"Wow, I'm looking forward to it, I don't know what the product is this time, but I've been hung up on my appetite. ”
"The cooperation of these companies must be a masterpiece, you just need to prepare your wallet. ”
"Nintendo's consoles have always been sold at low prices, and I hope this time it will also benefit consumers. ”
"Super Mario is an everlasting favorite, and even if it's only Mario, I'll always support Nintendo!"
When Lin Qi led a group of sisters to appear, the staff also cast some strange glances, which caused a little commotion, and someone recognized Ueshima Lingzi.
As a competitor, it is natural to find out the enemy's situation at such a press conference. However, the staff present were still decent, pretending not to know, and did not go to chase people.
"As we all know, Nintendo has always been a conscience to make video games, the past era is gone, today I stand here, the upcoming release of a new generation of products, will be revolutionary, will open a new chapter in the game era, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, in fact, here, I want to thank my old rival for the new venture, it is their monopoly and suppression, will let us concentrate on research and development of products, with more partners across industries, developed a Nintendo of the greatest product ever, but also a Japanese technology company, there has never been a single independent game platform that can independently develop its own game platform!”
Pu Yamauchi took the stage to give a speech and made a short opening speech.
Lin Qi wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it below, this guy really wanted to make a fuss about the new startup.
"The game function of the Pangu computer of Xinye Electronics is good!"
Some people coaxed below, deliberately ridiculing Yamauchi Pu, which immediately attracted the applause of others, and today's new entrepreneurial electronics is no longer the scene when it just started.
"Yes! The Pangu host of our friend Xinchuang Electronics Group, well, now it is a Pangu computer. Yamauchi Pu was very enthusiastic and worked hard to ignite the atmosphere of the scene, "I remember that back then, when the first generation of Pangu consoles was launched, we were also very excited, so cheap to be able to buy one, which can not only watch movies and television, but also play a game console with a large capacity of 650MB." The performance of the first-generation Pangu console was a monster at the time, and the XRM16 chip was comparable to the chip on the PC computer at that time, which was more than 1,000 dollars. And, at that time, a Pangu 1st generation console with CD-ROM only cost $398! In terms of performance and price, it was subversive. At the beginning, what I regretted the most was that I only thought about the low price, but neglected the performance! If we could have launched the product a little later, it would have been possible to launch a Nintendo console that is more than $300, which is not inferior to the Pangu 1st generation. But we only saw the collapse of Atari, so we couldn't wait to seize the market, so we launched a low-priced, but the performance was backward on the market! We gritted our teeth and pushed the price of the host of the red and white machine to $29, which was only a quarter of the price of similar products at that time compared to more than $100 of similar products. However, we still failed...... The Pangu console in front of mainstream consumers is several eras ahead of us!"
"After the collapse of Atari, the biggest winner was unintentionally the new venture electronics. Then, with the console with performance not inferior to the PC, they gradually developed from the game market to the field of personal computers. But for us gamers, it's not good news, just imagine, the cheapest version of the first generation of Pangu was only $198! And now, the Pangu 5 generation has just been released, and the entry version of the Pangu 5 generation is already 998 dollars! Do we need such a game console that can access the Internet, can work, well, can play games?"
"How many players, just playing games, can accept such an expensive price! No! Yes! It's just that players don't have the right to choose, and can only give themselves flashy functions that they can't use, such as office software, browsers, TT, starting point literature, or whatever, and pay for what they shouldn't have paid!"
"Basically, we have seen the fact that every generation of Pangu consoles is going to increase in price, and now 998 US dollars is definitely not the upper limit, and the future Pangu consoles will be more expensive! Why? Because, it monopolizes, it bundles the game market, players only need a home game console, but it sells a computer with more functions!"
"So, here we are! Break the monopoly of the new venture electronics, let the gamers benefit, so that the players can continue to buy, cheap and high-performance, pure game console platform!"
"The new generation of products, I named it Super Nintendo, next, let's unveil its mystery!"
After Yamauchi Pu fanned for a long time, the atmosphere of the scene also reached a climax, with the red cloth next, a new generation of host was displayed in front of him, and at the same time, an image appeared on the big screen.
The scene was immediately cheered, and the appearance alone attracted countless screams.
