After PSB's new product launch event, various media reported on the matter.

"Xingchen Entertainment is finally going to enter the home phone market, can it be the same as before in this market? —The Times

"The arrogant and stupid Star Entertainment actually implemented a strict royalty system, offending all American game companies. It will inevitably encounter Waterloo in the household machine market. —The New York Times

"Star Entertainment, the overlord of the arcade and handheld market, is finally going to enter the home console market and fight with Atari, the leader in the game industry, I wish them all the best!"

Europe and North America are more influenced by American game companies, so almost all media are optimistic about the overbearing royalty system of Star Entertainment.

Some media have long been unpleasant to Xingchen Entertainment because it is a Chinese company, how could they let go of such a good opportunity. So they bragged about Atari and belittled Star Entertainment.

Of course, it wasn't long before the sales of PSB consoles went all the way up, and they didn't dare to belittle it anymore.

Two years later, when the Atari collapse occurred, these media outlets were collectively slapped in the face.

Because two years later, it was none other than Xingchen Entertainment that implemented the royalty system that saved the North American game market.

"Thanks to the royalty system implemented by Star Entertainment, otherwise the entire North American game market would have died because of the Atari collapse. They were the saviors of all American game companies at the time. ”

Many years later, a retired employee of an American game company published an article online.

However, at this time, these media still have some influence, which also makes the affected gamers in Europe and the United States feel very hesitant to buy PSB game consoles.

However, because Centron Entertainment's arcade games have not been licensed to the outside world, in order to be able to play Centron Entertainment's arcade games at home, especially the three games "Tank Wars", "Bubble Bobble" and "Zuma", there are still many people who are willing to buy PSB game consoles.

In particular, some die-hard game fans of Wu Ming knew that several of the games newly designed by Wu Ming were only available for home consoles, and they did not hesitate to prepare dollars to buy PSB.

As for the island countries and Xiangjiang, because they are the traditional advantageous areas of Xingchen Entertainment, they still agree with the royalty system. It is believed that Xingchen Entertainment is regulating the game market.

At Nintendo's headquarters, there was a discussion about the royalty system.

President Uru Yamauchi held a printed copy of the royalty system with an admiring expression.

"It is worthy of Xingchen Entertainment that has designed such a good system. ”

For Yamauchi, who has always been ambitious, the home machine market has always been a coveted area for him.

It's just that Nintendo is a medium-sized company so far, and it doesn't have the strength to spend a lot of money on home consoles.

Especially in this life, their handheld Game Watch was blocked by the block machine of Star Entertainment, and the profit from it was less than half of the original time and space.

Of course, even if the profit of Game Watch in this life is not as good as in the previous life, Nintendo still makes a lot of profit from it, thus ranking among the top game companies in the island nation.

Originally, according to Yamauchi's idea, even if Nintendo developed a home machine, it would be a closed platform.

Now after looking at the royalty system of Star Entertainment, he found that there is such a good system.

Yokoi Junhei also read a copy of the royalty system, he nodded, and praised: "This is indeed a good system to avoid some low-quality games." PSB may not sell as well as the Atari 2600 in a short period of time, but sooner or later the PSB will be more popular than the Atari 2600. ”

Genyo Takeuchi and other high-level personnel of Nintendo also nodded in agreement.

In this day and age, game companies in island nations understand the importance of game quality better than their American counterparts.

Otherwise, after the collapse of the North American game market in the original space-time, the game market in the island country will not still be alive and well.

American game companies, because they have long pursued the principle that "whoever can boldly underestimate the wisdom of Americans will make money", have always turned a blind eye to the complaints of players, so they will finally swallow the bitter fruit of their own making.

Yamauchi Pu pondered for a while, and then asked seriously: "Then do you think we should join the Star Entertainment camp and develop games for PSB?"

Although Xingchen Entertainment's block machine suppressed Nintendo's Game Watch, as a mature businessman, Yamauchi naturally did not bring hostility to other projects.

Minoru Arakawa, the son-in-law of Pu Yamauchi, who had just returned from the United States, spoke.

Minoru Arakawa stood up and said what he thought, "I think we should join the Star Entertainment camp.

Star Entertainment has a large number of die-hard fans in the United States, and they also have a very perfect distribution channel, plus this time they have prepared several new games for Wu Ming and ported old arcade games.

Even though the media in the United States has been down, it seems to me that PSB will definitely have a good sales. This is a great opportunity for us to gain a foothold in the U.S. market. ”

As he spoke, Arakawa couldn't help but show a look of envy.

He has been living in the United States for a long time in the past few years, and is very aware of the influence of Xingchen Entertainment and Wu Ming, a genius game designer, in the United States.

In particular, with the help of Dole Toys, Star Entertainment has established a nationwide distribution channel in the United States. It was what he longed for the most.

Of the 3,000 units of "Radar Operation" shipped from the island country to the United States last year, he and his wife managed to sell only 1,000 units with great effort.

And some games with similar quality to "Radar Operations" can easily sell tens of thousands of units because they are sold by Xingchen Entertainment.

This makes Minoru Arakawa's heart calm, but Nintendo doesn't have a toy giant to help like Star Entertainment.

Therefore, although Minoru Arakawa wants to establish a distribution channel like Xingchen Entertainment, he can only be patient and slowly develop the American market.

Then several Nintendo executives expressed the same opinion as Minoru Arakawa.

"Arakawa is right, we should join the Star Entertainment camp. Even if PSB's sales in the United States are not very good, with their influence in the island nation, they can at least sell hundreds of thousands of units. ”

"Yes, although the royalty system is strict, it is much more cost-effective than handing over the copyright of the game's home console to the United States. ”

Because game companies in island countries, in the home console market, license games to first-party game companies in the United States, they can only make a profit of about $2 per cartridge.

And although the royalty system is strict, it makes a lot more money than licensing the game to the first party of Atari.

Seeing that most of the people agreed, Yamauchi Pu immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay, then we will join the Xingchen Entertainment camp!"

Yamauchi Pu joined the Xingchen Entertainment camp so quickly, naturally he was not willing to be a junior brother from now on, but in order to accumulate some capital, he could only lie dormant temporarily.
