First-class companies set standards, Sega and Nintendo work against each other, starting with the handheld!

Hayao Nakayama confidently said, "According to a market research report by an authoritative company, Sega's video game market share has increased to 25%, which is a great achievement! The handheld market share is even larger, and the global sales of GameGear reached 800,000 units within a week of its launch, and we believe that within a month, GameGear will reach 2 million units sold! ”

What the! All the attendees stood up, and the noise rang out one after another, and everyone was muttering words like "impossible" and "Is Sega too confident?"

"President Nakayama, Nintendo only sold 1 million copies in the first month, if GameGear can break this record, does it mean that Sega will go further than Nintendo in the handheld market?"

Hayao Nakayama looked at the reporter who asked the question, and his heart was secretly refreshed, he really asked him about his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Although we have temporarily lost in video games, I am confident in the handheld market and let Nintendo become the 25%!" ”

Rumble...... There was a lot of talk and even an uproar.

"Impossible, right? Is Sega overly arrogant? A reporter asked unkindly.

Hayao Nakayama glared angrily, slapped the table and shouted, "Arrogance? When it comes to Nintendo, I, Hayabusa Nakayama, will always be arrogant! If you don't believe me, I'll see you in a month, and I'll take the sales report of 2 million units sold and slap you in the face personally! ”

The reporter still doesn't believe this data: "800,000 units a week, who counted this data?" A month later, the sales report of 2 million units, who knows if it is a false data concocted by yourself? ”

"Humph! Do you know that Nintendo doesn't have a corresponding trick? The Fuji News reporter then argued: "25% and 75%. You can decide on it with just a few words? And now that Sega is delisted, who else can oversee this data? ”

Yang Yun interjected on the side. "We will also ask the Japan Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association (CESA) to supervise and audit all the accounts to Pricewater. It would be a shame if you didn't even believe in these two neutral bodies. And I'm the one who likes to bet the most, do you Fuji News dare to accept it? ”

"This ......" Fuji News reporters don't dare to talk nonsense, everyone knows that Yang Yun is a gambler, a madman, dare to bet with him, that is, it is boring to find himself, although the media is not afraid of fighting, but bet with this group of old money in the game industry. That was a cheap advertising fee for Yang Yun.

Yang Yun threw the second bomb and continued: "GameGear's game development kit will be open to all game manufacturers, and at the same time, we very much welcome companies such as Capcom and Konami to make high-quality games for GameGear!" ”

Bang dang......

The few people hiding in the corner of the crowd did not sit still, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and everyone looked back, who were the familiar faces who were not Capcom and Konami?

Yang Yun looked over there. He waved his hand: "Welcome Capcom and Konami to the Sega camp!" We don't count the unpleasant things that happened before! ”

"Hahahaha......" Many of Sega's hardcore allies almost laughed, this Capcom and Konami people, just came to secretly find out the news, and they also made a fool of themselves to be recognized. It's a shame to be thrown home.

Yang Yun's second bomb was so powerful that it not only made Capcom and Konami people panic and fidget. It has also given many small and medium-sized game makers a glimmer of light.

At this time, one of them stood up and asked loudly, "Is there a treaty that restricts 'defection' when making games for Sega?" ”

Hayabusa Nakayama raised an eyebrow. This is a very serious issue, involving the interests of many small and medium-sized manufacturers.

He had discussed it with Yang Yun before. Finally came to the conclusion: "We only have a limit for a single game, but not for the provider company itself!" If the Sega platform can't compete with Nintendo and can't attract you, that's our Sega own problem, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

"Well said!"

The audience applauded, this is the spirit of a large company, this is the mind, everyone is seeking money, why bother those small companies, the restrictions are rigid, you can't do it for Nintendo if you do it for Sega, which virtually makes many small companies have to weigh and weigh, and finally can only choose Nintendo.

Yang Yun allows allies to choose independently, of course, there are conditions, this is only for the GameGear platform, not for the MD platform, only when his TV game market share reaches more than 50%, he will give all MD game providers the greatest freedom.

Since Sega now has the upper hand in the handheld, let's start with the handheld platform and dig up Nintendo's allies little by little, so that they can adapt to the rules of Sega's game and become a game supplier under Sega's standards.

First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises do brands, third-rate enterprises do products, Sega and Longteng must degenerate from the latter two and become leaders in setting industry standards!

Nintendo lowered the barrier to entry, Sega opened its mind to join, and the two companies each launched preferential policies to attract game manufacturers to join, and the fight was comparable.

On July 12, the day most schools in Japan are closed and the three weeks after the GameGear went on the market, sales reached a peak.

Within 25 days of its launch, a total of 2.01 million copies of GameGear were sold worldwide, including 1.32 million copies for retail and group sales at 11 Sega franchised stores in Japan. In areas where there are no specialty stores in Japan, 270,000 mailed orders were sent through Shogakukan Manga Magazine. Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and other Asian countries and regions, a total of 30,000 copies were sold; In Europe and North America, a total of 390,000 copies were sold.

Sega completed the monthly sales of 2 million GameGear Jihua 5 days ahead of schedule!

It's a miracle! It's a miracle that Sega never imagined, and it was done by itself!

While Hayao Nakayama and Mustang Kobayashi shook this number, while the sales team of Longteng and Sega cried with joy, while the R&D team of Pokemon was full of a great sense of achievement, while Longteng and Sega were ecstatic up and down, only a few sane people would remember that the biggest hero was actually Yang Yun.

Half a year ago, a few things that didn't seem to have anything to do with it seemed to be the action of Dragon Teng attacking everywhere at multiple points, but in fact, all the purpose was for GameGear and Pokemon.

If there is no power-saving patent of Fang Jindong and no LEDjishu in Taiwan, GameGear's most fatal flaw cannot be repaired, and this 2 million may be cut in half.

If it weren't for the random listing of Pokemon, GameGear's dish screen would be useless, and the remaining 19 ordinary Sega ported games would not be able to compete with Tetris at all.

But there is no if on this shijie, things have already happened, everyone will only see Sega's success, only the most rational people suddenly woke up, it turns out that everything Yang Yun has done is purposeful and grounded.

The biggest hero never mentioned how great he was, he could personally lead the team to work hard in the R&D department, he could fly all shijie in order to promote the game, and he could laugh and celebrate with the employees, but he never said "If it weren't for me, Longteng would never have reached this height", but regarded himself as an ordinary employee and integrated into this big family.

Zhao Yongping, Wang Zhe, Jiang Shaoyun, Zhongshan Hayabusa, Xiaolin Musang, and some other people who have seen the great changes of Longteng and Sega are full of admiration for Yang Yun in their hearts, and they naturally have a sense of awe.

Yes, whoever produced this miracle would be in awe of others!

On July 15, the sales of GameGear in Japan continued unabated, and the total sales exceeded the 1.5 million mark, which was the second sales peak generated by students interacting with each other and showing off at the beginning of the summer vacation.

On July 17th, GameGear's first month of listing ended perfectly, with a total of 2.4 million global sales, shaking the global gaming industry with amazing sales!

GameGear is on fire, Pokemon is on fire, Japan has seen the most rudimentary pet collecting boom, and every day Sega and Fengyun Games are flooded with calls from enthusiastic players, asking for fantasy vouchers, asking about other pokemon's physical dolls, asking when Pokemon anime movies will be played.

2.4 million copies sold overseas, $260 million sold, plus other bits and pieces of game cards, peripheral handbags, comic magazines and advertisements, limited edition dolls, Sega earned a total of $300 million!

This data made Hayao Nakayama and Kobayashi Mustang speechless, and at the celebration party, the two of them looked at Yang Yun, stood up together, and bowed deeply.

Yang Yun politely took it and took it.

If it weren't for his persistence, GameGear wouldn't have solved the fatal flaw, it wouldn't have been able to have such a large sales, and Pokemon wouldn't have been on the market so soon, and Tajiri would have disappeared into obscurity in the long river of history until Nintendo remembered him many years later.

Yang Yun sighed: "GameGear is on the right track, a number of game suppliers have been added to the Sega camp, Pokemon anime is about to be launched, manga is being serialized, game peripherals are selling well, it seems that there is nothing to do without me!" I'm going to return to China, and I'll leave the rest to you, President Nakayama! (To be continued......)
