Tripp was stunned when he heard Takahashi's words, Wanhu can indeed launch his own game console.

Companies such as Hudson and NEC have long jointly launched their own game consoles.

Compared with them, it is surprising that Wanhu, which has a more complete industrial chain, has not launched its own game console.

You know, Wanhu's handheld is not falling behind in the competition with Nintendo's handheld.

There are many, many speculations about this. The biggest speculation is that the console market is too ferocious.

With the exception of the monster Nintendo, almost no company can make money with its own console platform.

Even if it's Sega, even if it's the second in the world, judging from the financial report, the game console business is just breaking even.

Is he lying to me or is Wanhu really going to launch a game console?

Tripp hesitated in his heart.

There is no way for him to come to China, 3DO is a company that he has poured all his heart and soul into, if it weren't for 3DO, he would not want to come to China to find Takahashi.

You must know that when he was in Electronic Arts before, the company he hated the most was Wanhu.

Because other Japanese game manufacturers don't pay so much attention to ball games, and they don't bother to buy any league copyrights and the like.

Even if the game is better than Electronic Arts, the players are fictional, and the league is fictional.

Such fictional characters and events certainly don't make fans feel immersed. Electronic Arts took advantage of the blind spot of the game company and bought the right to use the league and the image of the stars.

Although the technology is still lagging behind the Japanese game manufacturers, it is not as fun as their games.

But with one "real", it sold millions of copies, making Electronic Arts one of the largest game publishers in the United States.

However, at this time, when other game companies thought that everything could be decided by the quality of the game alone, Wanhu suddenly made a move, and they also bought the expensive game and the right to use the image of the star, and the game was more fun and more realistic. Snatched up the electronic arts industry I don't know how much of the market.

With such a past experience, it is of course impossible to say that Tripp is not a little unhappy with Wanhu.

Not to mention that coming to China, a country that is very chaotic and evil in his impression, is also a very risky thing.

But he came anyway.

Because he's a businessman, what is the purpose of a businessman? It's about making money.

Whether it's Electronic Arts, 3DO, or when he was in charge of APPLEII sales at Apple at the beginning, he was all about making money.

He won't get along with money, and he doesn't want to watch the company he founded with his own hands, so it is difficult to operate and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

So he came, he had a lot of experience in contact with Chinese people before, and those people were obedient to him to the end, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and give him **.

He thought he had come to China so aggrieved.

The president of Wanhu saw that he was not about to launch a game on 3DO, where did he think that this would be the result.

"I've got one more meeting to go, so be it for today, Mr. Tripp. I sympathize with you and your company's predicament, but forgive me, there's nothing I can do. ”

Takahashi got up to see off the guests.

Sending Tripp away, he returned to his office chair and sat down.

The meeting is also fake, and the host is also fake.

Let's not talk about how much money Nintendo and Sega burned on console promotion.

It's Bill Gates, who has wanted to enter the video game market for so many years.

The MSX service street that was launched before, and the 3DO that is now participating in it is about to serve the street, waiting for this old boy to end up by himself.

The XBOX console, however, burned a whopping $3 billion when the first generation was released.

Because the performance of the machine is much higher than the selling price, and if you don't maintain a low selling price, no player will buy it. Players who don't have high performance as featured won't buy it.

The number of platforms is small, and there will be no companies to make games.

Microsoft wants to attack the game industry and make game consoles, not just a video game market, but wants to have the entrance of the living room and occupy the screen of the living room. They had occupied the study before, and now of course they wanted to occupy the living room.

Plus they have money and can afford to burn it.

What about 10,000 households?

Can 10,000 households burn so much money?

The answer is actually no.

Launching a host will cost a lot of money in the early stage, but it is not easy to make a profit.

Even if you want to make a profit, you can't find a way from the players, but from the game manufacturer.

However, in the case of Nintendo's dominance, if you want to win over game manufacturers, the treatment will inevitably be more lenient and comfortable.

The consequence of being more relaxed and comfortable is that it is difficult to make more money from them, or even not to stick to them.

Now Takahashi feels that the personal computer platform is already good.

Although it does not belong to 10,000 households, it has already accounted for a large share of it.

In that case, why reinvent the wheel and force a console platform?

Wanhu doesn't have the same ambition as Microsoft, at least not yet.

Tripp, who was a little suspicious and was fooled by Takahashi, was thinking about one thing, whether it was time to give up the company 3DO.

You know, modern companies are basically limited liability companies.

A limited liability company versus an unlimited liability company means that the owner of the company can choose to go bankrupt and not pay his debts after bankruptcy.

Just bankrupt the 3DO company, or even go bankrupt, repackage it, find a few investors to fool them into buying it, and return to the electronic arts world on their own.

But that's just how Tripp thinks about it.

Although he can do this, after doing so, he will not want to have any investors invest in the future.

Starting a business in the U.S. is basically starting a business for investors.

As a founder, you have to pay a lot of shares when you accept investment from investors.

For example, Jobs was ousted from Apple in the first place, also because the shares owned by investors already have decision-making power.

Of course, stupid investors basically don't know how to run a company well.

So, it's best that Jobs returns to Apple, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, and acts as a savior for a while.

However, during the time he ran away, he made a four-wheel drive car under the pseudonym Tsuchiya to fool children and made an unknown amount of money.

Sorry, it's Pigs.

The animated film created by Pigs also made an unknown amount of money.

He was going back as a kind of hero, and he was Tripuri.

I'm afraid that now back in Electronic Arts, it's just a wolf with a tail between it.
