The thing is, the trick isn't a hard thing to spot. (

Those outside the industry may not be able to see it very clearly, in short, see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon, but for the industry, there are never fewer such people.

And Sony is precisely the place where these people deserve to exchange themselves for the future.

And now Sony is acquiring their own game development force, it is precisely because they see their biggest weakness in this cooperation, in the beginning of the cooperation agreement, Sony signed the agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo made the biggest concession, that is, the naming rights of the new game console belong to Sony, and Sony also has the right to independently develop games on the new console.

At the beginning, Yamauchi was able to agree to such conditions, and it was only because Sony did not have enough R&D team.

As long as it is officially released, their master-slave relationship can be reversed immediately.

But now what Sony is doing,But it's completely poked at Nintendo's soft underbelly.,This is what Yamauchi Pu can't tolerate.,If Sony also has a strong enough development team.,Why am I renamed a new console by them to PS.,It may really become PS.。

Jester thought of this, and just sighed, now Nintendo is still standing still, and it seems that he has not noticed Sony's current small actions at all, but according to his understanding of Yamauchi Pu, it is basically impossible for people to swallow this breath peacefully.

At this time, Jester couldn't help but think of another thing.

"This time, Nintendo won't go straight to Sony again, right?" However, this idea only flashed in Jester's mind, and he knew that it was impossible to completely flip the table, because although the ownership of the PS console belonged to both parties, the reason why Sony was considered to be dominant in it was. When reviewing games on the PS console, Sony occupies 60% of the review quota.

If Nintendo and Sony completely turn the other cheek, there is no way to stop this.

As for whether Nintendo left a backdoor or a loophole in it, it is not clear, after all, the original contract has not been seen by anyone except these two companies.

Dreambox is only ranked third among all game consoles in the half-day statistical results, and the second place is Sega's MD game console, as for the first place, it is the undoubted Gameboy, and the strength of this game console is no longer needless to say. In previous Christmas interviews on multiple TV stations, at least more than 60% of teenagers want to get a Christmas gift is a gameboy.

What's more, coupled with the popularity of "Pokemon" throughout North America, it has provided a large number of fans for this game released at Christmas, plus people who are interested in this kind of mobile phone cultivation game cultivated through the guò electronic pet machine in the past five years.

It's no surprise that the sales of Gameboy and Pokemon skyrocketed at the same time.

Although Sega's MD is in second place, the gap between them and Gameboy is not too big, after all, for North American players, Sega is still a newcomer in the field of home consoles, although this is their fifth home console, but for North American gamers. They were more familiar with the game company in the arcade.

Moreover, Sega's hard-core game style is more suitable for the arcade market than the home game console market, especially for large arcade machines. They're pretty much on their own, and neither Mars Entertainment nor Namco, nor Capcom, which has been making a splash in action games lately, can compare to them.

"Half a day. "Pokemon" sold 540,000 copies alone! And that's just in North America, plus yesterday's sales in Japan. So far, this game that Jester himself has produced has shocked everyone with incredible sales, but this is also Jester. Lee's style, if you don't move, is amazing. ”

In a game show at noon, the host was talking about the news related to the game released at Christmas, and after talking about the strength of Sega's new console MD in the market, almost beating Mars Entertainment's old game console Dreambox and Nintendo's NES in sales, he began to blow up "Pokemon".

However, most of the things that are blown are some 'secrets' that Jester or others on the development team inadvertently revealed in interviews, and there is still relatively little content about the game, in fact, it is also very understandable, a game that has only been on sale for a few hours, and it is unlikely that you want a lot of specific information in the game.

However, according to the rating of "Game" magazine, of course, this magazine is said by many people to have such and such a relationship with Jester, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that at least this magazine has always been fair in its rating of the game, and has not caused too many bad reviews from players.

"Pokemon" is a game with a very novel gameplay, so said in "Game" magazine, in the initial rating, although "Game" was rumored to have such and such an unclear relationship with Mars Entertainment, but for the game "Pokemon", they have always adhered to their strict, cautious, and fair attitude towards Russian and Japanese penguins.

This game, in the original version, was rated 32 points, which is a fairly new game, but nothing more.

At that time, many people who ordered "Game", after seeing their evaluation of "Pokemon", their first reaction was disbelief, they couldn't believe it anyway, Jester said that he spent four or five years, and then personally took on the production of the game, but the game was rated as a 32 by the "Game" magazine.

For some small game companies, being able to be rated as 32 points by "GAME" may be a thing that can make them happy for days or even months, because according to the rating standard of "GAME", it can reach 32 points, which is equivalent to 8 points per person, and the final sales can basically reach more than 500,000 sets.

For many very small game companies, the sales of 500,000 units are almost a shotgun change for them.

Of course, just a few days after the players were disappointed, and there were even people who resented the evaluation of "Game", feeling that they didn't feel the new gameplay that Jester had changed in this new mode of game, the plot took a 360-degree reversal.

Even specifically for this matter, "Game" actually had an unprecedented hairstyle.

In this article, the four test editors of "Game" magazine who participated in the game rating of "Pokemon", at the beginning, first made a sincere apology to all the readers and players who subscribed to their magazine, and they even joked that they were the first to find their mistakes before the game was officially released, and the reason for such a mistake is because their understanding of the game is still stuck in the previous model, and "Pokemon" is exactly like Jester himself said, which is a game that cannot be applied with common sense.

However, if you just start playing this game, you don't think it's a big deal.

However, in the magazine, we judge whether a game is a good game or not, that is, after playing the game for a long time, players can still continue to get fun from the game, find interesting things, and bring joy.

When you first started Pokemon, you found that this game seems to be nothing more than that, but it is this game that seems to have some kind of magic that we have not yet figured out thoroughly, which can attract players to continue the game, and it is not boring at all.

In the end, it can even make players unconsciously think about the content of this game when they are eating, sleeping, and running.

That feeling is too much of an artifact.

One of our testers found out about this, and when he came to the company one day, he suddenly found that almost everyone had a Gameboy in their hands and took it out to play for a while when they had time, and he was curious to find out that they were all playing Pokemon.

Even the one who played the longest, this tester looked at his game time, almost scared, it turned out to be more than 150 hours, you know, they took these game cartridges from Mars Entertainment and distributed them to the staff of the magazine, it was only a little more than a week.

Because of this, they have re-evaluated the score of "Pokemon".

In the entire evaluation game group, at least seventy percent of people have sunk into the world of "Pokemon", and when it comes to re-evaluation, which has never happened in the history of "Game", it still got a certain sensation within the magazine.

After the report was reported, the editor-in-chief immediately gave instructions and agreed.

Then this one, which had never been done before, had as many as ten testers, each with no less than seventy hours of gameplay, re-rated Pokemon.

Because this is a re-assessment, the standard is much stricter than the previous test.

And the score is no longer a full score of 40, but a hundred points.

In this article, the re-rating event was introduced, and the score of the re-evaluation of "Pokemon" was as high as ninety-eight points in the selection of the 100-point system, which can be said to be a much more difficult score than getting forty points in forty points.

As for the reason why such a rating is given, "Game" is very simple.

"Because we just couldn't think of a reason why we couldn't get such a score for a game that could keep so many people hooked and entertained for more than 100 hours."

And this extra number is a big addition to the craze before the official release of "Pokemon". (To be continued......) R527
