The release didn't stop because of lunchtime, and "Pokemon" in the afternoon still continued the momentum of the morning.

The same is true for Gameboy, although Jester made a certain misjudgment about the capacity of the Japanese market before the release of the Christmas season, but he did not make a mistake in his judgment of the North American market, and it is also wise to put a large amount of inventory in the United States, and the sales figures on Christmas Day perfectly illustrate how worthwhile this qiē is.

From the beginning of the release to the first hour, the first sales figures, GameBoy suppressed Sega's MD console, by the end of the morning, GameBoy's sales exceeded the five generations of Sega by 20 percent, and in the afternoon, it still continued this strength, it seems that Sega also thought that it was difficult to compete with Gameboy in this regard, so it changed its sales strategy.

There is almost no suspense in "Pokemon", and almost all players who have purchased Gameboy today have bought a "Pokemon", and even, at least half of them, have bought both the red and blue versions.

That night, when Mars Entertainment announced the sales of "Pokemon" on the first day of 1.99 million units, it made everyone smack, Gameboy's sales were fixed at 1.5 million units, from which it can also be seen that when it was released in Japan before, the figure of 1.1 million units was unbelievable, after all, it included such a large market in the entire North America, only 1.5 million units.

And the sales of the fifth generation of Sega MD are also very good, after Mars Entertainment just announced their sales, they also announced that MD home game consoles in North America on Christmas Day sales, 1.13 million units.

Although there is a certain gap compared to the 1.5 million units of Gameboy, if you look at the sales of the Dreambox in third place, only 370,000 units, and the sales of NES in fourth place only in the early 100,000s, and the sales of Atari's new console 7200 and NEC's PC-E combined are not even 100,000 units, so you can know how much impact Sega and Mars Entertainment have had on the game market for the entire Christmas season.

"So be it."

After listening to the report of his subordinates. He is now older, and his energy is not as good as in previous years, like when he was young, he didn't sleep for three days and two nights, and he didn't feel anything on the front line of production, and even after the work was over, he could drink a few drinks at the same time, but now he can't, he hasn't slept for a day. The body is a little unbearable.

He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put the report on the table, and wait for him to look at it later, to be honest, he was personally very satisfied with the results of this Christmas season of Sega V, although it was a little different from what he expected, in terms of sales, it did not exceed the handheld machine of Mars Entertainment. However, it is always in the field of home game consoles that it occupies the first place.

As for the problem of Gameboy, it was really beyond his previous expectations. He predicted that this small palm would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be popular.

But don't take it lightly......

secretly reminded himself in his heart, and Hayabusa Nakayama knew. This time, I was able to win in sales, but it was just a time difference. The total number of MD shipments is less than 5 million units, while Dreambox has shipped nearly 50 million units worldwide in the past four years or so, which is completely incomparable.

Even Nintendo, which has always been suppressed by Mars Entertainment, has sold more than 20 million units of FC and NES combined.

And, most importantly, both companies have announced their sixteenth release time, Mars Entertainment's new generation of consoles is called Dreambox2, which is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of February, and the new generation of consoles jointly developed by Nintendo and Sony has been changed from the original Super Nintendo to PS after a long debate between the two companies not long ago, and the name is determined, which should be a table of Sony's complete dominance in the alliance between the two.

Moreover, they also announced that it will be officially released in Japan no later than March.

The ellipsis ......

At this time, Hayao Nakayama remembered the news he had recently gotten, that is, Sony seemed to have a bad relationship with Nintendo recently, and Yamauchi Pu's old fox was not just a way to express his dissatisfaction with Ken Kutaragi, the speaker of the Sony Nintendo Alliance, and the source of his dissatisfaction was that Sony was secretly acquiring some third-party development companies.

Although these development companies are not considered to be the first-line manufacturers of Mars Entertainment or Nintendo's royalty alliance, they are all second-party game manufacturers with very ideas and strong research and development strength, such as New Japan Project, which is a third-party alliance of Mars Entertainment, and the game company that is very valued by Mars Entertainment has plans to be recruited by Sony, especially New Japan Project has recently been in strict debt in order to develop their recent arcade substrate, and this debt is impossible for Mars Entertainment to help them.

However, Sony is perfectly fine.

Although Hayao Nakayama doesn't know what Jester's mood will be when he learns the news, he must definitely not be happy, after all, when the new Japan project was at its weakest, it was precisely because he joined the third-party development alliance of Mars Entertainment that they got through the difficulties, and they also had some technical support from Mars Entertainment in terms of game development.

This is also the reason why many game development companies are willing to join Mars Entertainment, although most of these are Japanese companies, and Mars Entertainment's market share in Japan is not as good as Nintendo, however, Mars Entertainment is stronger than Nintendo, that is, Mars Entertainment will never cherish itself, only your project is excellent, when you encounter technical problems that you can't solve, you can apply to Mars Entertainment, and after Mars Entertainment makes an evaluation and review, if you agree, then they will shoot the team to help, Provide technical support.

Although games that have received technical support from Mars Entertainment will have to be shared with Mars Entertainment again, in the same way, game companies that have applied for support have also obtained technologies that they did not have before.

It can be said to be a win-win.

And Nintendo can't do that, they always cherish themselves and never think about sharing.

As for the problem of technology diffusion, Jester doesn't care much about it, in fact, he even desperately hopes that the games made by the third-party game companies under his command are as good as possible, because he or Mars Entertainment is fundamentally making platforms, and they make their own games that are just a vassal, just a means to ensure the competitiveness of their platforms.

Thinking about it, Hayao Nakayama picked up the phone and dialed a number, and it took more than a minute before someone answered the phone.

"If there's any news over there, tell me as soon as possible." Hayakuo Nakayama just said a thoughtless word into the earpiece, and on the other end of the phone, he didn't seem to want to say too much, but said quickly: "Don't worry, what is the final result, that is, in the past two days, Jiuduo has been called by Yamauchi nine times in a row, but looking at Yamauchi's face, it seems that the two sides have no intention of talking." ”

Hearing the other party's reply, Hayayao Nakayama nodded and hung up the phone.

This person is an inside line that he arranged within Nintendo.

Now Yamauchi Pu is indeed very angry, he is not annoyed with others, but angry with Sony's betrayal, at that time he agreed to sign the basis of that agreement, because Sony promised that they would not participate in the development of the game, but now what Sony is doing, it is obvious that he is betraying the conditions they promised at the time, for this matter, Yamauchi Pu has met with Kutaragi Ken nine times, and today is the tenth.

Moreover, I have already decided that this will be the last time, if I can't talk to Sony, then I won't talk about it, just flip the table, what Sony Nintendo Alliance, to be honest, if it wasn't for the time at the time, what alliance is this, I really don't rare, I was taken advantage of by them, I was already very unhappy, and now I was put on the table, if it wasn't for the overall situation, according to my previous character, I would have broken up a long time ago.

While Yamauchi Pu was thinking about these disorganized things, there was a knock on the door, and Yamauchi Pu immediately retracted his previous thoughts, and the expression on his face returned to the same cold as usual, and said lightly, please come in.

The door was pushed open, and Ken Kutaragi, who was not too tall, and his somewhat short and fat figure stepped in at the first time.

There was a smile on his face, and from the expression, it seemed that he was unusually respectful to Yamauchi.

Looking at the somewhat fat face in front of him, Yamauchi Pu's mood was a little helpless, to be honest, he was very appreciative of Kuda Ragi Ken, since the two sides just came into contact, he felt that the person in front of him who was not good-looking, would become a great weapon in the future, he even wanted to persuade the other party to join Nintendo more than once, but they all died in vain, and then it was the behavior of the middle-aged man in front of him, which deepened Yamauchi's speculation, this is indeed a person who has made great achievements in the future.

"President Yamauchi."

Walking through the door, Ken Kutaragi had a humble smile on his face, and he bowed deeply before Yamauchi spoke. (To be continued......)
