In the crowd, a reporter struggled to reach for his microphone and asked loudly, "Mr. Inafune, what do you think of the release of "Onimusha" today?"

Keiji Inafune, the project leader of "Onimusha", replied with a smile, "I think the good sales situation now speaks for itself......"

"Mr. Inafune, what do you think are the reasons why "Ghost Warrior" can achieve its current results?" Another reporter struggled to break through the encirclement and stuffed the microphone over.

"Hmm......" Keiji Inafune replied with a smile on his face, "First of all, I would like to thank the enthusiastic players, because with their support, we have been able to get to where we are today. Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Takeshi Kaneshiro and all the people who contributed to the development of the game, without their efforts, there would be no Onimusha today. Finally, I would like to thank the DreamBox128 platform for the emergence of this powerful gaming platform, without which there would be no gorgeous effects in Onimushako......"

"Mr. Inafune, what do you think of Sony Computer Entertainment's behavior of selling PS2 at a reduced price......

……

As soon as Ken Kutaragi got home and turned on the TV, the smug smile of Keiji Inafune, the head of Capcom's "Ghost Warrior" project, appeared on the screen, which made him feel very unhappy. Although Ken Kutaragi has not yet received the latest sales data for PS2 consoles and games, and although he has not yet received the latest information on "Ghost Warrior" and DreamBox128, he deliberately asked the driver to drive around the city of Tokyo today, whether it was Shibuya or Akihabara, and he saw a long line outside the game store that sold "Onimumu". This is already telling, and just by comparing the length of the line outside the store, Sony Computer Entertainment is once again lagging behind.

Seeing the reporter on the TV screen trying to shift the topic to Sony Computer Entertainment, Kutaragi Ken snorted dissatisfiedly, no need to look at him anymore He also knew that as the right-hand man of the DreamBox128 camp, Keiji Inaufune must not have any good words in his mouth, he turned off the TV with the remote control, sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes to recuperate, while secretly thinking about the direction of Sony Computer Entertainment's next move in his heart.

Before Ken Taraki could come up with a reason, "Jingle bell~", the phone on the coffee table next to the sofa suddenly rang. Kutaragi Ken, who was interrupted from thinking, was even more unhappy, but he still habitually picked up the phone and put it to his ear, because this phone was not the kind of well-known public number.

"I'm Aoyama, is it President Kutaragi?" said Akihiro Aoyama's familiar voice on the phone.

"It's me, Aoyama-kun, what's going on now?" asked Kutaragi Ken lightly, but his mood couldn't help but feel a little more nervous and a certain expectation.

"President, I just got the latest sales figures. Akihiro Aoyama replied on the phone, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone: "This is the case......"

According to Akihiro Aoyama,As of five o'clock in the afternoon,Statistics show that today's PS2 game console sales are 26,000 units,Maybe it's close to Christmas,Sales have been relatively good in recent times,The corresponding PS2 games are selling well,If there is only a high-performance game console in this worldPS2,It's hard to think that the heart of the long Taragi Ken is already happy,It's a pity that there is still DreamBox128。

Also as of 5 p.m., the DreamBox128 game console has sold 52,000 units, just twice the sales of PS2 game consoles, although this number is not as accurate as PS2 game console sales, but for the data obtained through secret channels, Akihiro Aoyama is still very confident. That's not the worst of all, but today, the high-profile "Onimumu" has sold 150,000 copies, and that's just the performance of "Onimumu" in the Japanese market.

If you put it three or five years ago, Sony Computer Entertainment in the PS era really didn't need to take this kind of game that sold more than 100,000 copies on the first day too much, and in that glorious period of PS games, there were many games that could achieve this kind of sales performance, for example, the game "Resident Evil 2", which was also launched by Capcom, once set a miraculous performance of more than 2 million copies on the first day. In comparison, the sales of 150,000 units of "Onimusha" are really nothing, but in this current period when PS2 games are at their worst, even if it only reaches only one-third, it can make Ken Kutaraki greedy.

After briefly introducing the content of the information in his hand in one breath, Akihiro Aoyama stopped, respectfully held the phone, and waited for the instructions of the president, but there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and after waiting for about five or six minutes, he couldn't help but ask carefully: "President, how should we ...... next?"

"Hmm......" Ken Kutaragi's slightly tired voice finally sounded on the phone: "You send the materials to the company immediately, and now it's time to make a decision." ”

"Yes, President!" Although the president was not in front of him, Akihiro Aoyama instinctively nodded his head and respectfully agreed.

……

Miho Suzuki gently opened the door to the president's office and walked in with a cup of dark brown coffee in a white porcelain cup. On the large sofa in the room, Kutaragi Ken and Kii lay down for a nap, in order not to disturb the president's rest, despite the carpet on the ground, Miho Suzuki walked very carefully, and came to the coffee table lightly, she slowly put down the small tray holding the white porcelain cup.

When the small tray touched the coffee table, there was a slight noise, and it fell into the ears of Ken Kutaragi, who had been meeting all night, but it seemed to be a loud noise, and he was suddenly awakened. When he opened his eyes and looked blankly, the first thing that caught his eye was Miho Suzuki's apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, president, for disturbing your rest!" Miho Suzuki said in an embarrassed whisper, hunched over.

Kutaragi Ken sat up and waved his hand at Miho Suzuki, his mind was still a little confused, and he didn't want to speak for the time being. Miho Suzuki bowed, turned around and quietly left the president's office. Kutaragi Ken reached out and took a sip of the coffee on the coffee table, the hot liquid made his spirit seem to be better, casually put down the white porcelain cup, he got up and came to the window and pressed the button, with a slight "buzzing" sound, the electric curtain was slowly pulled up, and the dazzling sunlight immediately broke in, and the office suddenly became bright.

Turning his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, it was close to 10 o'clock in the morning, Kutaragi Ken frowned slightly, he didn't expect that he had slept for so long. Last night's meeting lasted for a long time, and it lasted until almost six o'clock this morning, which may be the first time in the history of Sony Computer Entertainment, in order to arrange the next work, Kutaragi Ken was busy for about two hours, and finally ate a little before falling down on the sofa to rest for a while.

Kutaragi Ken's spirit is still a little tired, but the mood is very excited, although the performance of "Ghost Warrior" is a bit outstanding, but it basically did not exceed his prediction, the two hole cards that were held in his hand before can be released now, one is "FormulaOne2001", which is based on the most showy racing game "GT Racing" on DreamBox128, and the other is "Foxy Adventure" that is used to replace "Crash Bandicoot" in the PS era. Although PS2 is a bit backward in terms of the overall number of games released, although the DreamBox128 camp has such outstanding games as "Onimusha", although the North American and European markets can only be selectively ignored by Ken Kutaragi, but he is still very confident in the game development strength of his company's first and second parties, and he feels that he has gathered his elite soldiers to create "FormulaOne2001" and "Foxy Adventure" Under the leadership, at least in the Japanese market, he can break through the siege of DreamBox128 camp games, and if he can be given a little more time, the North American and European markets that have been temporarily abandoned are not completely without a fight.

Sitting on the sofa and slowly sipping the taste of coffee, Kutaragi Ken felt that his spirit was much better than when he first woke up, perhaps because of the fresh air pouring into the room, or because of the intimate coffee brewed by Miho Suzuki, in short, he was completely free of sleepiness in his mind now, and his mood seemed to have improved.

After drinking all the coffee in the cup, Ken Kutaragi, who was in a good mood, also made a special trip to send the cup and tray to Miho Suzuki's desk outside, and by the way, he admired the spring color that appeared from the neckline when the secretary lady bowed, and then he returned to his office satisfied, planning to do something to pass the time.

Before Ken Taragi could figure out a series of technical issues such as the location, height and touch of alternative positions such as sofas and window sills, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and he had to temporarily put down the boundless thoughts in his heart, walked to the desk, and reluctantly picked up the phone.

"President, Mr. Aoyama's call, do you want to help you get in?" came Miho Suzuki's sweet voice on the phone.

Kutara Kiken's heart couldn't help but chuckle, he knew that Aoyama Akihiro would definitely not be bored enough to call to say hello at this time, so he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, take it in immediately!"

Miho Suzuki answered, and then there were a few key sounds, and soon Akihiro Aoyama's voice appeared in the earpiece: "President, the situation is not good, Konami has released the "Heartbeat Memories 3" of the DreamBox128 platform today......"
