Chapter 5 Heh! What is that? Can you eat it?
Almost all industries do not have a clear development path as later generations seem.
Those who have the last laugh may not be the best in their own right, but they may not be the best. They have the last laugh only because they make the right choice again and again. He did not make such a "great" choice as joining the Kuomintang (Harmony) Party in 1949 and joining the Soviet Union in 1990.
Sega is able to make hardware now, unlike Namco and Taito, although they are arcade giants, but they still have to deign to make home console games for Nintendo, because they have made a more correct choice than Taidong and Namco.
Hayao Nakayama and Takahashi chatted casually, and the two exchanged their knowledge of the current state of the video game industry and their prospects for the future.
Hayao Nakayama gradually recognized Takahashi, and Takahashi also felt that Hayao Nakayama was indeed a visionary. However, Takahashi did not put his heart into his heart and told everything he knew.
That's not smart, it's stupid. Although he is now chatting and laughing with the president of Sega, it does not mean that they are friends forever.
People who will be enemies at any time will be cultivated to be extremely powerful. Probably only the founder of Kaishen Logistics can make it.
"Are you interested in making a game for Sega's home console? I heard that the game you made recently was blocked by Nintendo. Sega has a console with stronger performance than the red and white machine, has a more user-friendly system, does not need to pay the production cost in advance, and the royalty is far lower than Nintendo, are you interested in releasing games to Sega?"
No matter how good the conversation is, there will be an end to it, and imagination will eventually come to fruition. Everyone is at the helm of the enterprise, not the "black (harmonious) big brother" of the roadside barbecue stall, it is impossible to eat nonsense, after all, it is just a dream.
Takahashi didn't say yes or no, he said, "I think it's hard for Sega to surpass Nintendo, I don't know what you think?"
Sega is a popular arcade company, and it's also a home console company that gamers like. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Although there are many followers of Nintendo now, I don't think they will continue like this forever.
Now there is almost only one choice for Nintendo's red and white machine, if you want to make money and make a lot of money, you don't have a second choice.
With a more user-friendly development platform and more mature technology, I think as long as there is a leader who joins first and earns money, more people will follow. And I think that Wanhu is the navigator. ”
Hayao Nakayama praised Manho, as if he didn't care that such an evaluation would make Manho's asking price higher.
"The central processing unit is the Z80 modified Z80A designed and produced by Zilog Sigelow, with a frequency of 3.5 megahertz.
Video display processor, from Texas Instruments TMS9918. It supports up to 32 colors on the same screen, which is much higher than the highest 13 colors on the same screen of the red and white machine.
Support 8*8 animated sprites, support horizontal scrolling and vertical scrolling.
The sound module still uses four mono channels, of which there are three square waves and one white noise. BUT THERE ARE THREE TONE GENERATORS, AS WELL AS YAMAHA-MADE YM2413FM SYNTHESIZERS.
So you can support up to 9 audio channels, or 6 tone channels plus 5 percussion channels.
Admittedly, the performance of such a machine is indeed much higher than that of the red and white machine, but I think that this machine will not succeed in this machine.
IMHO, your company is too persistent and overwhelms its opponents in hardware performance. While this is not wrong, the consequence of this is the same crushing of prices.
A machine with many cheap games and many people to play, or a machine with few expensive games and few people to play, which one do you think players will choose?"
Takahashi asked after reciting the hardware parameters of the Sega Master System SMS.
"Of course, it's not as good as Nintendo's ......," Hayao Nakayama didn't get angry when he heard Takahashi's words, and said slowly, "but not abroad." Europe, North America, South America, Southeast Asia, the vast world has a lot to do, why should it be limited to such a small island country?
So far, I have not learned of any country that is proud of the trend of learning from the United States.
Could it be that the best host sold in this book will definitely be recognized by foreigners?
Is it possible that a machine that sells well in this book must be bought because foreigners have heard that it is sold in this book?
It is not the United States, and it does not have the same influence as his. Therefore, Sega and Nintendo are not well-known in foreign markets, and everyone stands on the same starting line.
Not only that, but the big sales of SMS abroad, especially in the United States, will definitely drive its sales in China, what do you think?
Only by looking at the world can we get more cities than the gains and losses of one city and one place. ”
Hayao Nakayama said quickly, and when Takahashi heard half of it, he felt that this model of "export to domestic sales" was very familiar.
Take the mobile phone that people will use as an example, the blue-green factories that are also expensive and take the celebrity endorsement route, although the sales are good and the profits are high, but they are not recognized because of its low configuration.
However, a jazz mobile phone with the same low configuration per unit of money can establish a "high-end brand" perception by developing a conference in a foreign country, pricing it more expensive in a foreign country, and using it in foreign sales. Its expensive has become cheap, expensive has a reason to be expensive, good workmanship, high quality, and consistent quality...... And so on and so forth......
Even if it has some problems, it is the consumer who insults it, and it has launched a forgiveness phone specifically to forgive consumers.
This is the difference between a local brand that exports to domestic sales and a brand that only sells locally.
Now, after Hayao Nakayama saw no hope of defeating Nintendo in his own country, he was born with such an idea.
The modern history of East Asia is the history of Eastern civilization being crushed by Western civilization. All the yellow countries in East Asia seem to have a strong lack of confidence in the white countries.
Although with the development of the economy, this lack of confidence in whites has turned into conceit. However, when they look down on white people, they still want to find common ground with white people, common ground with Western civilization, hope to be accepted, hope to be looked upon.
Whether this trend of thinking is correct or not, it is better for businessmen to use this mentality to make money.
The conscience of a businessman?
Scold!
