Chapter 413: Hegemony
July 2018 is destined to be an important turning point in the history of world games. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under such circumstances, even the new game console jointly produced by Wayward Heaven and Sony has been able to carry the banner of console games, but the death of Yamauchi Pu has undoubtedly hit Wayward Heaven and caused internal chaos.
In this way, a new round of factional struggles has started within Wayward Heaven, and I heard that even the previous honest executives have to choose to take sides.
As the old saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Sony suddenly tore its skin and wanted to monopolize the new game console, taking advantage of the fact that Willful Heaven was in the midst of a plate of scattered sand, stepping on its position to become the new hegemon of Japanese games.
The Wayward Heaven camp collapsed across the board, and the Nintendo Six Tigers, who were once the most valued by Yamauchi Pu, are no longer in the limelight, and some have even changed careers to start all over again in other industries.
The newly added allies of Wayward Heaven and Sony, who also released their suspicions some time ago, have begun to make their own small calculations, and some even directly broke the contract with Wayward Heaven.
Many game manufacturers who have been overwhelmed by willful heaven took the opportunity to make trouble, and they jumped out again one by one.
Sony is not idle, it knows that there are many talents with real talents in Willful Heaven, and now Willful Heaven is uncertain, and it is just taking this opportunity to poach people.
As a result, some departments of Wayward Heaven simply left an empty shell, and all the personnel jumped to Sony, so that the high-level management of Wayward Heaven scolded Sony for taking advantage of the fire to rob.
I have to say that Wayward Heaven was indeed too dependent on Yamauchi Pu before.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Yamauchi, he is too strong and strict, so most of the company's affairs, personnel appointments and dismissals are decided by him personally.
Holding most of the power in his own hands, it is self-evident what kind of blow he was to the company the moment he fell.
In the end, the willful heaven could only eat this dumb loss.
The first problem that the current wayward heaven has to solve first is to clear up the internal power dispute and elect a new president who can handle the heavy responsibility.
The only games that Nintendo can get hold of are "Pokemon", "Fire Emblem", and "The Legend of Sedar", and Super Mario and Tetris have to share patents with another company.
The only "sharp weapon" that can turn over the salted fish - various patents for new game consoles are also in contention with Sony.
Let's take a look at the number one enemy of Japanese games, Aurora Games, "Angry Birds", "Fruit Ninja", "Rhythm Master", "Honkai Academy", "Dungeons and Warriors", "Sword and Soul", "Crossfire", "Go-Kart", "Don't Star", "Assassin's Creed", "Cat Wars" and several other games in development.........
Compared to the number of current popular works, the capricious paradise can't compare to the popular Aurora game, and now it happens to encounter the death of Yamauchi Pu, so its collapse speed has become faster, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "a thousand miles"!
When the top management and shareholders of Wayward Heaven were busy fighting for power and profit, they gradually relaxed the supervision and pacification of the following, and the pressure from the outside world made the current situation of Wayward Heaven even worse.
"Why is this happening?"
Satoshi Iwata, the current acting president of Wayward Heaven, muttered to himself, his voice trembling: "Why did I encounter this situation as soon as I took office! If this continues, not only will Wayward Heaven be finished, but I will also live up to the trust of so many people!"
No one can answer this question, no one thought that Yamauchi Pu would really die of illness, and no one thought that Sony, who was still a brother and brother with Wayward Heaven before, would suddenly tear his face and refuse to admit it at this moment.
Now the battle with Aurora Games can be put aside for the time being, the key is that now they must settle their own interior and deal with the "attack" from Sony and other Japanese game manufacturers.
Before his death, Yamauchi personally appointed Satoshi Iwata as the acting president of Wayward Heaven, which was also the first time that a non-member of the Yamauchi family held this position!
It's terrible now, how can the people of the Yamauchi family give up, and they all want to do everything possible to target the weak Iwata Satoshi, wanting to oust him from power, and then control the wayward heaven by themselves......
A week later, sales were disappointing as Wayward Heaven was now in trouble.
Satoshi Iwata took the initiative to cut his salary by half, which led other Nintendo executives to also take the initiative to cut their salaries. When sales numbers fell short of expectations, he didn't make up for the deficit by laying off employees, but took responsibility himself.
His move made many people who were originally not optimistic about him have to reassess whether he can be qualified for the position of the president of Wayward Heaven because of his courage.
You must know that the acting president of a company usually does what he does when he encounters a crisis, and he will not do it!
While other game companies are besieging Wayward Heaven from all sides, he is keen to believe that Wayward Heaven is still at the forefront of the industry in the market of "making games".
Prior to this, Wayward Heaven had great successes and intermittent failures, but it has grown tenaciously to this day.
Then there is no reason for him to live up to Yamauchi Pu's expectations of himself and bury the willful heaven in his own hands!
Everyone knows that the man who once stood at the top of the industry has fallen, and it is Ye Le who walked to the altar instead of him!
That's right, with the demise of the old dynasty, a change of dynasty is inevitable!
And in Huaxia, a stronger and more massive game empire has finally achieved its own hegemony!
You must know that even the company scale and market share of Aurora Games have surpassed Aurora Games a long time ago, but one day when Yamauchi Pu is in Wayward Paradise, it will not be Ye Le's turn to be the king.
Aurora Games is indeed very rich and is still the game company with the most players, but his influence in front of the old overlord is not far-reaching enough, and it is far less entrenched than the wayward heaven that has influenced generations of people.
A company wants to become the recognized hegemon of the industry, alone
It only took three years to see the world's first Aurora game in the industry, and it has become a model for Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, and even Chinese counterparts to worship and imitate.....
Some media outlets made such exclamations that night.
"Aurora Games has finally become a recognized new overlord in the game industry!"
ps: Today is the birthday of the bricks, please be considerate, there is only one more, thank you!!
