Over the years, although it seems to be calm, there have been many companies that want to challenge the status of Chiba Games.

Whether it's a handheld or a console, in fact, in every generation, there are all kinds of competing products, but they all die for one reason or another.

For example, "Game Girl" from the same period as "Game Boy". Of course, the real name of this console is not called Game Girl, it's just that everyone is used to calling it that.

At that time, Chiba Games' "Game Boy" was still just an eight-bit machine, with a fourth-order grayscale, a screen that looked like yellow, and no backlight.

And the "game girl" of the video game league is already a backlit color screen. However, this game console with a color screen has not competed with a monochrome grayscale display console.

The reason is simple, not in the performance of the console, but in the battery life of the console. Game Boy has two No. 5 batteries, enough for a full twenty hours of play.

And the game girl, with six No. 5 batteries, can play for three hours. Moreover, the rechargeable battery officially given by the game girl contains carcinogens.

So, at that time, Chiba Games also placed such an advertisement, "Game girl, send you cancer." ”

Business competition is not a dinner party, the smell of gunpowder is very strong, plus Lin Yan and the video game alliance, there are also personal grievances. So, these competitions are even more explicit.

However, when Lin Yan saw the portable game console of the Video Game League, he knew that he had won. Because, they only focused on the performance of the machine, and did not pay attention to the equally critical range.

In fact, Lin Yan thinks that video game consoles, especially portable video game consoles, are actually very suitable for barrel theory.

Whether a portable console is successful or not. It's not about one thing. For example, performance. There are other aspects to focus on.

In addition to performance, there is also price, battery life, game lineup, etc.

The game girl of the video game league, although the performance is very strong, but for this reason, it has to increase the price and reduce the battery life. The game lineup is actually at the same time. There is not much disadvantage. Because, the video game league has a wealth of arcade resources, which can be ported to the corresponding games.

Game Girl has only been launched for a few months, and when it has already shown its decline, another portable game console launched by an unknown small manufacturer has been launched.

This console, which was more extreme in terms of performance, can be said to be the first portable game console of sixteen positions at that time. Capable of running very large games.

However, the disadvantage is just as extreme, which is the higher price. and more urine-back battery life.

The name also successfully transferred from the game girl to this machine.

Both consoles ended up in a vicious circle. Because the price is expensive, there are fewer people to buy, and because there are fewer people to buy, game developers are reluctant to develop games for this platform, which is expensive and there are no fun games. Therefore, there are no players to buy it, and the number of shares on the platform is small. There are no manufacturers developing games.

So, after Game Boy, after its six-year life cycle, the two more advanced machines of the same period have died.

Of course, someone summed up the experience and knew about the game boy of Chiba games. How it worked. After summing up the experience, they launched a 16-bit black and white game console, which is very energy-efficient.

However, less than a week after they released the news, Chiba Games announced that there would be a Super Game Boy launch. Super Game Boy. It will be equipped with a color screen.

The company was stunned at the time, this was simply eaten by the yellow finch. Their hearts were broken, like dumpling filling.

However, because the scheduled plan could not be changed, the sixteen-bit black and white game console was on the market as usual, and it was sold for about a year, and the sales were average, so it could not be said that it could stand firm, but it was also able to eat a bite of food.

However, this manufacturer did not have the patience and did not settle down to work intensively, and the black and white game console has not really gained a foothold, and the new game console has been launched.

Just a year later, they also launched their own color screen console. For some reason, the two machines are not fully compatible, and the manufacturer of course mainly operates on the new console.

However, this has led to the fact that players who have already purchased black and white consoles feel cheated and dumped.

How can there be a game console, and it will be updated in a year.

You look at the Chiba game, the life cycle of a handheld game console, there are six years, and the games launched in the entire life cycle are as big as four figures. Your game console, which hasn't even come out with a three-digit game, is about to be updated, you're playing tricks.

As a result, a large number of players have been lost, and this once promising company has become the dust of history.

After the launch of the game console, a very important issue is to be stable, stable enough.

Not long after the launch of Game Boy, he was chased by two color game consoles, and Chiba Games was not also calm, and it has been operating the black and white screen for six years.

Players are the cutest group of people, as long as they are sincere to them, their sincerity can also be returned.

Of course, these are all things about Chen sesame and rotten grain. Those guys who studied the past battles of Chiba games didn't know that Lin Yan wanted to make portable game consoles look like they were updated every year.

"Is this reliable?" Yuki Chiba asked.

There were no roads before, and the roads were all walked out. In fact, Chiba games basically set the rules of the game for home consoles and portable consoles.

Chiba Yuki's hesitation at this moment is because Lin Yan wants to break the rules he has set at this moment. You know, game consoles don't have a long enough lifespan and won't be accepted by players. It's been updated for a year, and this one is terrifying, so it's not appropriate.

After all, a game console is just a toy, and no one can spend a fortune a year on a toy.

"Don't worry, senior sister, listen to me." Lin Yan pressed down with his hands and said, "You know that in terms of research, we have stored a large number of patents on next-generation communication technology, as well as short-range wireless communication protocols. ”

Chiba Yuki nodded, and she looked up suddenly, "You mean." You want your console to be a phone. Lines are lines, but ...... It's not going to work. I see that Nojiya has launched a game mobile phone before, and the response is not good. Not to mention the cost of electricity, it can even be said to be a complete failure. You know, the most important thing about a phone is to make and receive calls, and a phone that runs out of battery for a few hours. No one will like it. ”

"Nokia failed because they were thinking wrong." Lin Yan took out a stack of documents from under his desk, put them out one by one and said, "This is a key patent for the next generation of communication networks, although it can form a patent barrier, but in order to be able to promote, we have begun to contact with major communication providers to see if we can cross-authorize and set up a communications committee." Let them come in and have a bite to eat, so that it is convenient to promote our technology.

This is the new technology of LCD screen, and this, this is the patent document of the capacitive screen, compared with the resistive screen on the market now, the advantage of the capacitive screen is that it does not need a stylus, only a finger. It can be operated very sensitively. And this, this is a patent for lithium-ion polymer batteries. Lithium-ion polymer batteries, at the same size, have a larger capacity than nickel-cadmium batteries. ”

"These ......" Chiba Yuki looked at these patent documents, in fact, Lin Yan put them on the table. It's just an instructional catalog, and it already takes up a large part of the table, "It's all about the technical pre-positioning of new game consoles?" ”

"Well, that's right. However, in the short term, this combination of mobile phones and game consoles. It will not be listed. One is that our new portable handheld has just been on the market for more than a year, and it is easy to lose the support of players if it is updated now. The other is that this machine will be a revolutionary product, and the physical buttons of the entire game console mobile phone will not exceed five. Senior, take a look at this picture. ”

Yuki Chiba picked up the paper in front of him.

"In my vision, this machine will be like this. As Senpai can see, the front will be a display that takes up more than 70% of the screen area. On the top of the phone, there will be an earpiece, a light sensor, and a front-facing camera.

The lower part is a physical button, which can be used to go back, return to the home page, etc. On the sides of the fuselage, two volume keys.

In the upper part of the fuselage, in addition to the headphone jack, there will be the power button.

There will also be equipment such as gyroscopes built into the fuselage. In short, according to this standard, this game console phone will not be cheap. ”

"With so few buttons, how can the game be played?" Chiba Yuki was a little confused by Lin Yan's fooling.

Lin Yan pointed to the part of the screen on the paper and said, "Capacitive touch will be supported here, up to five touches, that is, on such a small screen, five fingers can be placed."

Of course, touch screens aren't a panacea, so many types of games have to be sacrificed. The whole game will be played in a relaxed atmosphere.

It's all small games, for example, this is a capacitive screen, so you can add some games of cutting things, such as the game of cutting fruits. This kind of game with a new way of interaction is sure to be liked by the majority of players.

Perhaps, a physics similar to slingshot shooting, as well as a game of Hundred Battles.

Of course, there is another important aspect, which is that this machine will be able to install software. For example, our chat software, some other messy software, expand the use of this machine. For example, you can watch videos here, and listen to songs here.

We can join our own video store, music store, software store and game store here. And this game console mobile phone is no longer a simple game console, but has a call, the basic function of the phone, which means that he is not a toy, so this game console mobile phone will be an inseparable part of people's lives.

In the future, we can also launch some large-screen devices, such as seven-inch and nine-inch devices. Occupy the majority of users' time in bed.

If, this series of large screens, also the layout is completed. Then our Chiba game will become a new ecosystem. The TV screen can be controlled by the host, daily life has a mobile phone, before going to bed, and a large-screen tablet device.

In other words, almost all use scenarios are taken care of.

Except for the office field, which is really different from our equipment, and we need to take our time, the rest is not a problem. ”

Chiba Yuki listened quietly, if others said this, she would think that others were bragging, how could such a big ecological environment be completed.

However, Lin Yan said that she couldn't help but believe it.

Lin Yan looked at Chiba Youxi's convincing expression, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, you have also noticed it recently." It's much easier to make money from online games than from stand-alone games.

In other words, games are moving towards a lightweight model. Our hardware equipment must also keep up with this era. After all, the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Not many people are able to play a game for a day. Senior sister, you also know that there are thirty percent of users of the new super red and white machine, who don't play games at all, but use the new super red and white machine to watch those cheap film and television content. ”

Chiba Yuki nodded, but she hesitated a little, "If we really did that, would we be allowed to do that?" ”

"This ......," Lin Yan touched his chin. It will definitely not be completely allowed, after all, what kind of state is Japan, you know, senior sister, the Plaza Accord has explained a lot of problems.

Therefore, if we want to avoid big problems, we must keep one thing in mind, that is, we should take a long-term view and do not eat alone. That's why I cross-license my communications technology patents with U.S. manufacturers.

It's impossible to say that we have a separate set of rules and don't take them to play. If they can't eat meat, they'll come to us for trouble.

If you have money, everyone earns it, and this is the most serious thing.

In fact, in the minds of ordinary people, our image is relatively good, because the games we launched are basically very positive and optimistic.

And those professors, I've been working on an open class plan recently. It will be broadcast for free on the video channel of the new super red and white machine, of course, we have to pay the professors.

In this way, the professors will also turn to us.

There are also people such as the media, and they must also use similar methods to tie them to our interest chariot, so that we will not encounter obstacles that we cannot overcome.

Don't eat alone, otherwise we will be in big trouble.

After so many years, we don't know how many of our small reports have been saved up on that side, waiting to be dealt with by us.

It's like a sweet car. (To be continued.) )
