Inside Nintendo's headquarters, the atmosphere is far from harmonious.

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts.

Wanhu's "Tetris" national tour originally made Nintendo complain because it did not use Nintendo's red and white machine as a competition platform.

You must know that Hudson's original "Space Warrior" National Caravan Tour used Nintendo's red and white machines.

Even if you don't talk about promoting sales, in terms of portability, how to say that a light red and white machine is better than an arcade machine.

However, 10,000 households did not adopt it.

Forget it, after all, Wanhu has not signed a relevant agreement with Nintendo.

However, at the end of the game, Wanhu suddenly released the handheld, which gave everyone in Nintendo an idea.

The department in charge of the hardware and games of the red and white machine is very high about this, and Shigeru Miyamoto even admires the design of this handheld machine.

However, Yokoi Junhei, who is in charge of the development of the handheld, saw Wanhu's handheld, and the expression on his face was not good-looking.

With the development of the times, although Nintendo's game watch series handheld has sold nearly 30 million copies, its sales growth is becoming more and more sluggish.

The first is the explosion of home game consoles, which makes it easier to play games at home, and the second is that everyone is tired of the game watch, which is made of printed LCD screens, can only have a few fixed actions, and the gameplay is quite weak.

As the head of the first development department, Gunhei Yokoi was mainly responsible for the development of handhelds, and of course he began to explore new types of handhelds.

His idea is quite simple, since the red and white machine is so popular, then it is absolutely no problem to shrink the red and white machine and make it a handheld machine.

Still, good ideas are good. However, there are too many problems encountered when it is realized, the first is the problem of miniaturization, in the space the size of the palm of the hand, the integration of the screen, circuit, battery, cassette, although it is not impossible to do, but even if it is barely realized, the price of each handheld machine will not be cheap at all, at least to reach the price of the red and white machine.

The price of nearly 50,000 yen is definitely high for a game console aimed at ordinary players.

The red and white machine is not the first home game console to hit the market in this book, nor is it the best one, but it is the cheapest one.

When everyone hadn't played the exclusive games on the red and white machines, the games on the red and white machines were almost all arcade portions.

The reason why people buy the red and white machine is not that the game on the red and white machine is fun, but because it is cheap.

Because it's cheap, there are many people who buy it.

Because there are many people who buy it, there is a large amount of ownership.

Because of the large number of holdings, the sales of the game are guaranteed not to lose money, so there will be high-quality games.

Because there are high-quality games, more people will buy consoles.

Because more people buy machines, the larger the output under industrial production, the lower the individual cost, so that the price of game consoles can be reduced, and more users can be harvested after the price reduction.

The commercial success of Nintendo's red and white machines is such a cycle. And the first driving force of this cycle is the word "cheap".

Nintendo even believes that consoles that exceed 30,000 yen simply cannot succeed.

Therefore, although Gunpei Yokoi already had a good idea, he has not been able to launch a successor model for the gaming watch.

At this time, Wanhu launched the "Tetris" handheld.

Everyone present has some understanding of handheld and LCD technology.

Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld, in the final analysis, still uses the technology of printing LCD screens.

However, it does not print the pattern into cannonballs, or the arms, heads, or bodies of the villain.

Instead, it was made into one indiscriminate block after another.

Tetris is a game that is made up of cubes, and a handheld computer specially designed for Tetris has been released.

Technically, everyone is sure that Tetris handheld doesn't have too advanced technology.

It is impossible for a handheld computer with advanced technology to sell for 6,999.

And in terms of the popularity of Tetris, it is not a problem for Tetris to be a big hit.

Now is the time when Nintendo's gaming watches are weak, and this is when Tetris handhelds are selling well, which means that Nintendo is likely to lose its dominance in the handheld market.

The hegemony is not the most critical, as long as there are good products, there is no chance to get it back.

However, Wanhu, a manufacturer with both ability and expansion, has to make Nintendo anxious.

When Nintendo first discovered Wanhe, it had the intention of acquiring Wanhu and making Wanhu the second party of Nintendo.

If you launch a handheld console today, will you launch a home console tomorrow?

Although Nintendo's home console snowballs with cheapness as the fulcrum, it will not be expensive if Wanhu launches a home console. What's more, Wanhu's ability to make games is extremely strong, and almost all of the games are high-quality games, and they can achieve more than 500,000 sales that other manufacturers dream of.

If......

"Let me start with a few words. Genyo Takeuchi said, "I think we should suppress Wanhu to a certain extent. I just thought about it for a while, and suddenly I noticed a problem. Do you remember when Tetris first appeared on the machine? That's right, arcade!

Then the red and white machine that landed was the host that Takahashi took out after today's game. Tetris became easier and easier, and at first I had to go out to the arcade to play, but then I could play it at home, and I am afraid that I can play it anytime and anywhere.

Such an opponent is by no means what we Nintendo wants to see.

The main source of income for Wanhu now is our Nintendo's red and white machines. I think that if we curb the amount of cash they have, we can delay them.

Junping, the rest is up to you to use this time to design a handheld. ”

"I don't agree!" Shigeru Miyamoto, who is also a minister, disagreed, "I think win-win cooperation is more important." Now that Wanhu has not caused substantial damage to the interests of the society, I think that cooperation is the king compared to fighting evil. ”

Yamauchi quietly watched the people on both sides of the conference room discuss. The market is the jungle, the consumer is a delicious little animal, and the enterprise is a beast in the jungle. Whichever beast eats more, it will be stronger, and it will have more territory and more food.

Nintendo, the beast, has always been not good at defense, but good at taking the initiative.

If you don't occupy the market, someone else will occupy it.

All beasts that try to challenge the power of the king should be reduced to bones.

The people in the house, seeing that Yamauchi Pu opened his eyes, saw his sharp eyes, and knew that the direction of the wind against Wanhu should change.
