Flat and waveless.

Although the use of three-dimensional technology has allowed video games to enter a fast lane of rapid development, because of Hayashi's far-sighted arrangement, Chiba games have been uneventful, and even a home game console of similar strength has not appeared.

On the side of the video game league, although it was relatively early in the arcade, the application of three-dimensional technology was realized, and "Three-dimensional Warrior" was created, which is a popular game.

However, the problem is that the video game alliance does not have the technical reserves to respond, although it has the ability to build a 3D game hardware foundation, but the cost is too high to come down, an arcade machine costs hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars, but if you want to condense it into a home game console with a price of about 20,000, you can't do it.

Home consoles have limited space, and there are only so many electronic components that can be stuffed in. It's not like an arcade machine, which can fit a lot of stuff into it, but at a low cost, how can this be possible.

As a result, the video game league updated this generation of consoles this time, at least a year or half a year later than Chiba games.

What's the point of making it so late?,The market has already been preempted by Chiba Games.,There's a good saying.,Eating can't catch up with the heat.。

What's more, the home video game market is not a piece of, but a large industry with an annual output value of tens of billions of dollars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver.

However, due to various reasons, there are no companies willing to participate in the home game console market except for Video Game Alliance and Chiba Games.

The boss of Electronic Arts almost ruined his company because he partnered with a series of Japanese hardware to get a home console.

Nowadays, I have given up making platforms and obediently making all kinds of sports games.

Because, this company, there are some special relationships. Only they can get the game adaptation rights of sports events, so they can be regarded as a golden job when they make sports games, and others can't grab their food.

Sports games, playing more sports fans. Using your favorite athletes and manipulating them to swim around the screen, this kind of pleasure is something that others can't feel.

If you replace all these players with guys you don't know, then the fun of sports games will be much less.

That's why sometimes electronic arts sports games do a terrible job. But other sports games still don't sell as well as their reasons.

However, although the sales volume is good, there are very few that can reach the million-level sales. A large part of the reason is that none of their games have landed on the game platform of Chiba Games.

Advocating freedom, they think that Chiba games are a closed empire, and they are not friendly at all. Don't want to make games for them.

Of course, this is just a set of rhetoric. The real situation is because the Chiba game wants a percentage of the share, which they find unacceptable.

What's more, the game is completed, and it needs to be reviewed by Chiba Games.

You know, the games made by the Americans, in this era, seem a little rough. By the standards of Chiba games, it is almost impossible to pass it all at once without modification.

As a result, Electronic Arts has treated Chiba games as an enemy.

And the enemy of the enemy is the friend, so Electronic Arts and the video game league have teamed up to keep warm.

This is also a game console for Video Game League. The reason why it was able to sell millions of units in the United States. It's because of the blessing of electronic arts sports games.

However, there are fewer football games in Japan. It won't be like the United States, where the residents of a city look like enemies because they support different teams.

So, coupled with the fact that the video game league itself did not produce a game that was too good, the sales were just over a million.

Originally, it was rumored that the new generation of consoles of Chiba Games would still choose to use game cartridges, and the Video Game Alliance, on the other hand, wanted to use discs to defeat Chiba Games with the advantage of low cost of games and turn over in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly,Chiba games also use discs.,Moreover,The machine also supports three-dimensional graphics.。

This can only make the original video game league ready console, play back and redesign.

The arcade machine has a large investment, but the income is far less than the windfall profit at the beginning, and it has entered stability little by little. And on the home machine side, there is no improvement, and even this time there is a risk of being completely eliminated.

On the side of the video game league, it can be said that the atmosphere is dignified.

Originally, Chiba Games wanted to make a set of disc sizes and standards by itself, so that the supplier only supplied to himself, and others couldn't get the same standard disc, so naturally they couldn't pirate.

However, Lin Yan said that this is perverse, as long as there is piracy, it will be strictly investigated, and if there is piracy, it will be sued, and piracy will not be banned, but the impact will not be too great.

If you can let the machine play videos, and you can let the disc store music and movies, then the new super red and white machine, more people will be able to buy it.

Then, the third-party manufacturers, won't it be stable.

Even if they bought it just to watch a movie, but as time goes by, if they try to play the game, they really like it, and there will be more users.

Chiba Yuki thinks about the same, in fact, the key point of the problem is not this, but that the Chiba Group has acquired a large film and television company in the United States and has a lot of film and television copyrights in its hands.

If the new super red and white machine is regarded as a kind of playback machine, wouldn't it be of great help to other industries in the group.

Thinking of this, Chiba Yuki decided not to care about anything, raising the cost of piracy. A lonely tree does not make a forest, and if only Chiba games are left in the Chiba Group, then Chiba games will not be easy.

Lin Yan looked at the new super red and white machine, almost did not make a single mistake, and it was listed in almost the most perfect form, not to mention how happy he was.

In fact, from Lin Yan's point of view, even in the era of Ren Hell, except for the red and white machines, other game consoles cannot be said to be in the best state.

Because, the company is bigger, and there are more concerns. Even if a small cassette is replaced with a CD-ROM disc, the benefits involved will be hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although it is necessary to have foresight, it is necessary to lose immediate benefits. Someone can stand it, and someone isn't crazy?

Lin Yan looked at it from the perspective of a latecomer.

If you look at it from the current perspective of Chiba Games, the new generation of consoles, giving up discs, but giving up considerable profits.

However, the good thing is that it is on the video side. I made some money back, and I also made some money by selling standard licenses to various companies, and in the short term, it was smoothed out, and I didn't lose much money.

In fact, it seems that there are not many people who want to enter the game industry.

But in fact, there are many people who want to come in, watch every move of Chiba Game, and judge the gains and losses inside. Learning from the experience.

Let's see if we can get your own family into the industry.

Of course, this is not because of the 10 billion dollar market in the home machine industry, but because the home machine is the only platform that can sell tens of millions of units of the same model, or even the last one.

If nothing else, just this time the new super red and white machine. Being able to play audio, video and video will make a lot of money for many related companies.

Even. Some people with forward-looking ability have seen the broad prospects of the Internet, and feel that this video game console is simply a natural Internet entrance.

If, who can have such an entrance.

In terms of actual benefits, it is no less than an atomic bomb.

Of course, Lin Yan can also see this. And he sees it more clearly, in fact, he has planned a complete game software and hardware upgrade route.

The new super red and white machine looks stable, and it is ready to be prepared for the new generation of Chiba game handhelds. Of course, just like the naming of the red and white machine, the super red and white machine, and the new super red and white machine, the new handheld game machine is called "Super Game Boy".

The biggest feature of this game console is that it uses a larger screen, a higher resolution, and a color screen, which has a better display effect.

However, what is more worrying is that the "Super Game Boy" still has no backlight, and if you want to play with me, you need to use a flashlight to illuminate.

This is because, if there is a backlight, it is too power-intensive.

On the original handheld model, there was actually a backlight. The way to do this is to add a high-voltage pack similar to an electric baton to the machine to light up the light bulb.

However, a game console that could have been able to play for about fifty hours with a few batteries would not run out of power. Suddenly, it was almost difficult to play for ten hours with the backlight on.

Coupled with the new generation of hosts, due to the higher resolution, as well as the color LCD screen, it usually consumes more electricity. Therefore, it is not possible to use a backlight scheme either.

Of course, Lin Yan himself pays great attention to the battery, and this time on the new host, he listened to Lin Yan's suggestion and used a special model of nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery.

Although the charging life of this rechargeable battery is only about 500 times, it has also made significant progress compared with the previous disposable dry batteries.

What's more, it can also be said from the perspective of environmental protection that the importance of using reusable rechargeable batteries.

This is also a compromise method at present, Lin Yan wants to use a high-capacity, can be designed as a random shape of lithium-ion batteries, but there is still no place.

The lab is not omnipotent, so you can only take your time.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the "Super Game Boy" that can play for more than 20 hours in a row is already a handheld game console with high practicality.

Compared to the video game league's color screens, backlights, and even electronic slot game consoles with cathode ray tubes like televisions, they are much more practical.

Lin Yan himself now likes to play with a "super game boy" when he has nothing to do, however, because this machine has not yet been listed, it has to stagger the peak sales of the new super red and white machine, so others will not know what this machine is when they see it.

Lin Yan carried it with him, not only to install it, but also to test the game.

In addition to the Mario series on the façade of Chiba games, the remaining game series is "Pokemon", which became popular on handhelds, and it is estimated that sales will not be too ugly with these two games as escort works for new handhelds.

However, due to the long production process of these games, Lin Yan also has to play carefully to see if there are any vicious mistakes and all the errors that can be found.

If you find any of these errors, let them fix them. The game of Chiba Games must not fail because of mistakes.

However, it's a pity that the new game boy doesn't support 3D games, that is, only 2D games can be played on it.

At most, it can simulate the effect of pseudo-3D, but as for the real playability, it's hard to say.

In the first week, the number of new super red and white machines sold was 5 million units, and in the second week, there were only more than 300,000 units left.

This is not to say that players have given up on the console, but because of the production capacity, the machines in stock have been sold out.

Now the factory is running at full capacity, and it can only produce about 400,000 units per week.

However, the lack of capacity is not necessarily a bad thing, at least not if no one buys and squeezes inventory.

Moreover, people are conformists, and because they can't buy it, it will make this thing even hotter.

It is impossible to expand production capacity, in fact, the chip production capacity of the whole world, just like that, Chiba games, as long as it is produced, it will cause fluctuations in the price of corresponding components.

If the production capacity is forcibly increased, each game console will not make money now, and the price of components will be raised, and there may be a possibility of losing money.

Because Lin Yan is good at using mature (backward) technology, the new host can not lose money.

If you ask the video game league to release a new console, almost in the early stage, each machine will have to accompany about ten dollars.

Losing money and making money is to make the platform bigger and let more people in, so that you can get more benefits.

Of course, when you don't stick to the point of making money, the capital chain breaks down, and the whole enterprise collapses, and there is no way to do it.

In the home game console industry, the survival rate is too low, from the very beginning of the learning machine, to the later game console, so many manufacturers, only two survived.

However, the biggest winner, Chiba Games, also completed the winner-takes-all achievement.

Others say that Chiba Games is an empire, an empire of video games.

Even, even the people in the company think so, and Chiba Yuki and Hayashi have never denied it.

Working in such a company, literally everyone feels a light on their faces.

Of course, without a 10,000-year-old empire, if you can't be prepared for danger in times of peace and forge ahead, it won't take long for an empire to collapse, no matter how strong it is, it will collapse and become a pool of useless rubble.

Standing in front of the window of his office, looking down on the whole of Tokyo, it was so smooth and unchallenging. (To be continued.) )
