It's a tricky question, it's very tricky. %

Kutaragi Ken has been thinking about these issues for the past few days, and he also has his own opinions, but his views are his opinions, and Norio Oga's views, or Sony's views, are their opinions, and whether their own views can coincide with their views is something that cannot be predicted before they officially say it.

In fact, for Nintendo's blatant betrayal this time, although Sony has also made some small moves before, but these small actions are not strict enough in Sony's opinion to let Nintendo directly tear up the agreement, and Sony is very face-saving, but many voices in the board of directors are saying that Nintendo must be punished.

And the best means of punishment,Then it must be to argue with the other party on the ownership of the PS console,As long as the PS console, that is, the console that Nintendo has just changed its name to Super Nintendo, cannot be released in the near future,When the entire sixteen-bit game market is completely occupied by Mars Entertainment and Sega MD,At that time, even if Nintendo gets the ownership of the console they call itself Super Nintendo,It's useless,Because the market is gone.。

However, for Sony, the ending is the same.

If Sony really doesn't have a little bit of the video game market, then it's understandable, and even Ken Kutaragi will applaud, but in fact, just like Nintendo, the current Sony doesn't have any ideas about the game market.

However, Sony's R&D capabilities are indeed very strong, but as a technician from Kutaragi Ken, he is too familiar with Sony's current R&D capabilities, in this case, it makes no sense to spend another year developing a sixteen-bit host, if he is asked to do it, he will directly carry out the development of a thirty-two-bit host. And to strengthen the processing of 3D capabilities, in this regard, Sony has an advantage that other manufacturers do not have.

With the improvement of hardware performance, the requirements for research and development will become higher and higher, and Sony's advantages in research and development will be more and more vividly reflected.

But the end result of this is that from now on, all the way to '92, or even '93. It is impossible for himself or Sony Computer Entertainment itself to come up with anything commendable, and all these three or four years will be buried in the research and development of new consoles.

Without a platform, it means that there is no market, there is no game development, and there will be no third-party manufacturers to invest.

It's better to wait for the new thirty-two-bit host to complete the research and development in the city SCE. Why was it established so early?

Since the group has agreed to the establishment of SCE at this time, it will definitely not let this newly established company directly watch the drama on the side, not to mention let the respected predecessors of Ozawa in the group supervise the battle, which must be very optimistic about the prospects of SCE.

The most critical thing is. At this time, it is the era when home game consoles are upgraded and expanded from eight-bit to sixteen-bit machines, which is the most suitable period to develop their own market. It would be too stupid to just give up just to get revenge on Nintendo.

At the end of the day, Sony is a business-first company. Instead of a company that only wants to be happy for a while, they will do things that harm others and benefit themselves, but they may not do things that harm others and hurt themselves.

And there are many opportunities to take revenge on Nintendo, as it is now, there are not many times when everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and it can even be said that this is the only time.

If you miss it, you may miss it forever.

In Kutaragi Ken's mind, a lot of things flashed in an instant, and these things were all carefully considered by him before, so after hearing Norio Oga's inquiry, he only organized his language a little, and then said his opinion very coherently and clearly.

"I think we can negotiate with Nintendo about the PS console."

After hearing Kutaragi's answer, Norio Oga was noncommittal, and his face did not show the slightest expression that could express his personal opinion, but continued to ask in the same light tone as before: "Oh? How do you negotiate with Nintendo? ”

"It's very simple, whether it's for us or for Nintendo, it's impossible to give up the PS console, especially for Nintendo, if the PS console is abandoned, then for them, it's almost time to transform again."

Speaking of this, Kutaragi Ken laughed, and his mind came up with the scenes of Yamauchi Pu looking for his secret agent at the end, and then went on to add: "In my opinion, Yamauchi doesn't have the courage to let Nintendo make a strategic transformation again, and now he is not ten years ago." ”

Norio Ohga nodded this time.

He looked at Kutaragi Ken, and pondered for a long time before he said: "To be honest, the opinion within the board of directors is that you don't want to let Nintendo go like this, the original plan was to terminate the supply contract with Nintendo about electronic components, but, the loss caused by this I don't want to see the board of directors, and then we discussed the issue of the PS console, and many people's opinions are indeed to have a fight with Nintendo in this regard, at least let Nintendo not get the right to sell this console in a short period of time, However, I rejected this suggestion. ”

As he spoke, Norio Ohga looked at Kutaragi Ken again, and this time Kutara Kiken's face showed a happy face, obviously, this was the news that Kutara Ki Ken wanted to hear the most.

"I have the same opinion as you.,The problem of the PS console is a double-edged sword.,Not only can it cut Nintendo, but it will also cause us great damage.,SCE is established now.,It's definitely not for watching a show.,What the headquarters wants to see.,It's for you to do something in the shortest possible time.,So,About the console,We'll reach a consensus with Nintendo.,As for the specific situation,It's going to wait a few days for our negotiations with Nintendo to be resolved.,Do you understand this?"

After Norio Ohga finished speaking, his eyes looked at Kutara Kiken sternly.

And Kutaragi Ken also nodded, and replied in an unwavering tone, "That's exactly what I thought. ”

"So, do you have any specific candidates? About the personnel of the SCE above. On this issue, during the conversation three days ago, Norio Ohga told Sù too Kutaragi Ken to prepare the specific person he needed when the SCE was established.

And Kutaragi Ken did not shirk, in the past few days, he did draw up a large number of lists, these lists, from development, to administration, to production, to logistics, to sales have everything, but in front of Oga Norio report, it is naturally impossible to take out the entire list and say, only need to say the most critical candidates.

This list of Kutaragi Ken can also be called unceremonious, and all of these candidates are the elite of the entire Sony.

Norio Ohga gasped just the first time he saw this list.

"Shigeo Maruyama? No, he is the soul of Sony Music, and he is the candidate to take over the chairman of the board of directors of Sony Music immediately, how can I photograph him in your newly established SCE? But it's possible to have his dedicated soundtrack work for your SEC games. ”

Norio Ohga watched and said his opinion.

"What? Dechu Hui Jiu, what the hell ......" Oga Norio himself was silent for a few seconds, but still nodded, "Dechu does have an extraordinary talent in financial operations, and it is indeed very suitable for him to go to SCE. As he spoke, Norio Oga drew a check sign behind Tokuchu Huijiu's name.

"Who's next? Itenho? Since Dezhong Huijiu has given it to you, it is not bad for a Yiting Bao, he is more experienced than Dezhong Huijiu in terms of capital management and financial operation, and Dezhong Huijiu's strengths meet planning and the overall situation, and Yitingbao's advantages and strengths are the control of details. ”

"And Masashi Saeki? I remember him, a very talented young man in the advertising department, who designed a lot of great advertising ideas, and it was not impossible to give him to you......"

"Goto Zhenyu? I remember that he originally participated in the joint development with Nintendo, you have experience in cooperation, and you are also very familiar with the PS console, and in terms of industrial design, he is already one of the best in our group, and I agree with this. ”

Looking at it, Norio Ohga couldn't help but show a trace of uncertainty on his face, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Kutaragi Ken who was worried at this time, and asked with a smile.

"Kutaragi, these personnel of yours are almost the elite of our entire group, if I give you all the approval, what kind of result can you give me? You look at Kato Yu, a recognized person with outstanding ability in our group, I think it is more than enough for him to take your position, you look at this again, Tajiri Bin, our quality control expert on the front line of production, in the entire Sony Group, like him, you may not be able to find three, as well as Oka Masaaki and Akio Oba, this is the proud protégé of Mori Yuan's predecessors, you are so light and fluttering to leave, aren't you afraid that Mori Yuan's predecessors will fight with you? ”

And after listening to Norio Oga's words, Kutaragi Ken's face returned to normal.

He just said in the same tone as before: "President, in my opinion, if we want to achieve great things, it is useless to rely only on the most cutting-edge technology and the best ideas, and we need a group of outstanding companions, which is the root of our success." ”

Finally, Ken Kutaragi repeated in an unmistakable tone.

"In my opinion, they are the most outstanding companions." (To be continued......) R527
