Chapter 330: Dreambox2

In the face of such an unexpected situation, it is naturally impossible for Jester to put all his energy into this amusement park.

Originally, I wanted to let this Samsung come, and the director in charge of this project left first, and then contacted him after he dealt with the matter of the PS going to be released, in fact, it didn't win long, but he had to leave here now, go to a high-level meeting and discuss their countermeasures with the people in the hardware development department. Although Jester didn't take Nintendo seriously, with Sony, it wasn't the case at all.

Sony relies on their wealth,Can infinitely close the gap with themselves,And now it happens to be at the critical point of the next era of host upgrading,At this critical point,Like themselves, the host overlord of the previous era is actually a very weak advantage,Once you are a little careless,You may lose everything,Because when upgrading,Anything can happen。

For example, SFC at that time was also the market hegemon, but when it was being updated, because of strategic mistakes, N64's sales were not as good as Sega's SS and Sony's PS, and then Sony's PS2, the original generation of god machines, almost the monopoly of the entire game market, but because of the design mistakes in the early days of PS3, the results were not ideal, and even the father of PS, Ken Kuta Ragi resigned for this.

The director of Samsung saw Jester say this, although he didn't know what Jester said in the phone just now, but he clearly saw just now that Jester was picking up the phone with a smile, and the moment he heard the news on the phone, his face changed color, although it was only for a short moment, but he also knew. It's a big deal, for sure.

Therefore, the Samsung executive, who is very good at observing words and feelings, hurriedly bowed down. Respectfully left.

And when he left, he also looked at Li Fuzhen, who had been sitting on the side and seemed to treat himself as air. Seeing that Li Fuzhen had no intention of leaving, he knew the true identity of his assistant, of course he could not dare to order anything to the eldest princess of the Samsung Group, and Jester did not express dissatisfaction, he didn't need to say anything, and everyone could see that their eldest princess was not a little bit in love with Jester.

Li Fuzhen is a very active girl. Before, because of the presence of the director of Samsung, she was still a little reserved, but now in Jester's office, when Jester was the only one left with her, she seemed to be a different person, like a little girl who had not grown up, and jumped to Jester's side.

Jester had already received an instruction from Lee Kun-hee before, hoping that he would take good care of Lee Fu-jin for him in the United States.

However, Li Fuzhen obviously still has color, and after she came to Jester's side, she peeked at Jester. found that Jester's face did not show any dissatisfaction, and then she became bolder, and she knew that Jester was in a hurry now. So he just shook Jester's arm, and said as he shook it, "Brother, take me on a tour of your company, okay?" ”

Hearing Li Fuzhen call him his brother, Jester's eyebrows raised sharply, he had a relationship with Li Jianxi's peers, but Li Kunxi's daughter called him brother, then he was not twice as younger than Li Kunxi, but seeing Li Fuzhen's coquettish and cute appearance shaking his arm, Jester couldn't get angry, in fact, Jester also felt Li Fuzhen's good impression of him. However, he believes that this is caused by distance, as Li Fuzhen has more contact with himself. The more you learn about your qualifications, the more this kind of goodwill will only change to friendship.

"I'm going to have a meeting anymore. When the conference is over, I'll take you on a tour of the world's largest game production company. ”

Jester said.

And Li Fuzhen, who had achieved her goal, also withdrew her arm around Jester, and stood aside and behaved.

"When did your father arrange for you to enroll?"

Before leaving, Jester asked casually, and when she heard Jester ask about herself, Li Fuzhen's face showed a hint of joy, and she said a little excitedly: "After the Christmas holiday, I will enter school in January." ”

"Hmm."

After getting the reply, Jester nodded, indicating that he knew, hesitated slightly, and then Jester added: "I'll take you to visit the President of the University of California, Los Angeles after a while. ”

"By the way, if you're bored, go to the staff lounge first, where it's still good."

With that, Jester waved his hand and left the office first.

Previously, Jester had already notified the administration and asked him to notify people from various departments to come to the large conference room on the top floor for a meeting, and now Mars Entertainment, excluding those independent studios, has more than a thousand employees and nearly ten game development work at the same time.

When Jester came to the conference room, it was obvious that there was a look of caution on the faces of the participants.

"This time it was my mistake, I didn't expect them to develop so quickly." At first, Jester apologized, then walked around the scene, and stopped at the head of development in the hardware department.

"Where's our progress?"

Marcus heard Jester's question, stood up directly, and said with a smile: "No problem, everything is in order, the white box test can be over soon, if nothing else, we can also send the prototype to the manufacturer immediately after the white box test is over, and we can sell ...... at Christmas."

But before Marcus, the head of the hardware department, could finish his words, Jester waved his hand and interrupted him.

"It's not necessary to release at Christmas, at that time our main game was "Pokemon", and the main marketing was also our Gameboy, as for our next-generation console, there is no need to be in such a hurry - by the way, is Sega's American version of the MD also scheduled to be released at Christmas?"

Jester said, turning his face to the marketing department on the other side.

"Yes, their MD is indeed set to start in North America on Christmas." After hearing the answer, Jester nodded, and he said with a deep groan: "Originally, Christmas was indeed a good date, and Sega had a time difference this time, it's not that I didn't want to launch it during Christmas, it's just that our machine Qì can complete the first batch of production at Christmas, but the new game with the next-generation console is not the case." ”

Jester said this, of course, those of them who are engaged in game development know it clearly.

A game console, especially when this next-generation war is about to break out, in addition to the previous word-of-mouth, the first game, is the biggest attraction that can attract players to buy, it is said that this time Nintendo is directed by Miyamoto Shigeru, is making a new game, and Sega is not to be outdone, Suzuki Yu's two masterpieces, after the release of MD Japan, it is because of a consumer frenzy.

Therefore, in order to guarantee victory as much as possible, Jester can only be officially released when it is ready.

Jester then asked a few people about it, and was relieved to get a reply that several games on the next-generation console they were working on could be completed by the end of January.

During the New Year's Day, the power of the whole company must be the main push of the handheld machine, which is an unshakable basic strategy, in this case, if you announce that your game console is also open for pre-sale, there will inevitably be a suspicion of dominance, and, officially announcing your own next-generation console, this kind of thing, is obviously one of the most important things for your company.

And announcing it at Christmas, but not as the first object of promotion, is inevitably a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

If it's really going to be announced at Christmas, then it's going to have to start the big hype before that, because for a company that develops a game platform, nothing is as important as a next-generation console.

"Then we're tentatively setting the time for our next-generation home console to be pre-sold in mid-to-late January, by the way, does our home console have a name now?" Speaking of Jester, he remembered that this sixteen-digit new host has not yet taken an official name, and in the company, for this machine, the people within the company only use the name of the new host and the like, but they have not given it a specific name.

"Are we going to ask players like we did last time?"

Someone made a sound, so built yì.

But immediately, Jester, who heard this Jianyì, immediately shook his head, and he said simply: "Last time we just played fresh, although this time we will also do this with good results, and the players will be very enthusiastic, but first of all, the time is not enough, it is more than a month away from our announcement date, and secondly, there is some time, and again and again, especially this kind of thing that has been done once." ”

As he spoke, Jester paused slightly, as if he had made a decision.

"That's it, I don't think we need to worry about the name of the game console, in fact, the name Dreambox is very good, since it's good, we don't need to change it - it's simpler, it's called Dreambox2, this name is simple and easy to remember, and for our fans, this name is also extraordinarily kind, after all, when they see Dreambox, they will naturally think of us, if we rashly change the name, it will not outweigh the loss!"
