Chapter 425: 1 million yen per person

After learning that Kawashima defected to Sega, for safety, he made up his mind to enable the second set of plans of "Zombie Siege", and took the initiative to enhance the player's sense of killing, from defense + puzzle solving mode to saving survivors + killing escape + puzzle solving mode, increasing the number of tasks by 50%, basically going to the zombie pile to find items or save people.

And the supermarket plot that was set up at the beginning, when he saw the dragon data collected from all sides, he was afraid in his heart for no reason, and in an instant, he lost the courage to compete with the dragon, lost confidence in "Zombie Siege", did not dare to continue to adhere to his original idea, and even regretted letting go of the three Kawashima Gong.

He remembered the legendary dragon spell again, rumors in the Japanese game industry, as long as it is to compete with the dragon to sell, their competitors have only a dead end, look at those once famous competitors, Capcom fell, Konami went bankrupt, Square Enix defected, Nintendo wilted, and now he is replaced by Sony, can he break this curse?

"Yaga! I can't let them go on like this! "Ken Kutaragi tried to put his fear behind him, and got the programmers to speed up the design of the new version, and he was determined to increase the killing and destruction scenes.

No one expected that history would be like this, and it would make a big joke on Kutara Mujian and Yang Yun.

Originally, "Zombie Siege" was limited to fighting inside the supermarket, and the original version is very different, but under the extreme lack of confidence of Kutaragi Ken, it is getting closer and closer to the original, and begins to involve parking lots, employee passages, ground plazas, and street shops. Although it doesn't have the high-quality 3D effects on the XBox, it finally has the thrill of the original zombie mowing.

In the face of accusations from the media. The top management of Sony cannot sit still, they are a multinational group with a good social and public image. Like Panasonic, it represents the spirit of Japan, and Chairman Norio Oga approached Ken Kutaragi and planned to ask about it!

"President Kutaragi, I need you to give me an explanation! Although I am on your side, I may not be able to wait for the New Year to step down, and whether the new president of the group will still support SCE depends on your performance! ”

Oga Norio is serious, he is strong against public opinion, and would rather offend a few old people on the board. It is also necessary to push Kutaragi Ken to the throne of SCE, because he is optimistic about the game industry, he will abdicate and make way for Xian in half a year, how SCE will go in the future, and what it will develop into, it depends on Kutaragi Ken himself.

However, the performance of Ken Kutaragi was very disappointing, and he didn't care about how to improve the game platform and how to expand his influence. How to create a good game, but instead do some intrigue with Longteng Company all day long, and get into a quarrel, forgetting what his main job is. Unknowingly, he was led astray by Long Teng.

Kutaragi Ken was ashamed and said: "President Oga, I just hope to see the sales data of "Resident Evil" in the past three days, and then make a decision on whether to invite the crew to ......"

Ohga Norio hated the iron, and said, "Are you worried that Sony's film division will be affected by game sales?" No. You've fallen into a misunderstanding! Sony has never adapted a game into a movie before, so with or without Resident Evil as an opponent. You always have to try to do this first, don't you? That being the case. So what are you still worried about? ”

"I'm ......" Kutaragi Ken sighed heavily, although the truth was that he could make his own games and let colleagues from other departments make movies, and that would be enough.

But if he really wanted to treat the dragon as air, he couldn't do it.

Long Teng is like a demon, nagging in his ear every day, unable to drive away, unable to get rid of, and haunted by tarsal bones, which has become his nightmare.

President Oga...... I think the biggest difference is that Longteng can do whatever it wants, and no one opposes it at all. And we are subject to too many constraints and controls, and I have to take into account the interests of all parties, as well as Sony's reputation......"

"Sony's reputation? Could it be that avoiding a fight can make Sony's image in the public more magnificent? ”

"Those media are afraid that the world will not be chaotic! I can hold a press conference at any time to announce the release of the game, but please do me once and allow me to postpone it until 3 days later! ”

Kutaragi Ken gasped for air, his eyes were bloodshot, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well for days, he was almost driven crazy by the immense pressure, he had never felt so tired.

He sent Norio Oga away, drove himself to the street alone, and before he knew it, he went around to Ginza, and parked his car temporarily by the central square, just in time to see the Nintendo game franchise store in the distance.

Sony has always been an absolute authority only in electrical appliances, so all the game discs of the Sony Computer Entertainment Division of SCE are sold by the Sony TV and Radio Walkman, and the other part is sold by Nintendo.

However, the front of the Nintendo franchise store in Ginza Central Plaza is deserted, and the number of customers coming in and out is very small, and it is difficult to see a group of twenty or thirty people, but they are tourists holding small red flags and wearing tourist hats.

Looking at the Sega Ginza flagship store on the other side of the central square, which echoes 300 meters away, Kutaragi Ken became depressed, and the queue at the door was lined up all the way to the square, and the long queue was at least more than 200 meters.

"Hello! Parking is not allowed here! The traffic police came on a motorcycle to salute, and Kutaragi Ken quickly apologized, drove the car to the nearest parking lot, and then walked back here unwillingly, to the Nintendo store.

Before he even entered the door, Ken Kutaragi met the group of tour members he had just met, and walked out of the store one by one, laughing one by one, he keenly noticed that this group of tourists spoke Indian English with a strong accent, and none of them carried Nintendo merchandise shopping bags, his heart sank, it seemed that they were not spending.

Kutaragi Ken stood aside politely and quietly, waiting for the group to come out and was about to go in, when he was suddenly stopped by the guide holding the flag, bowing and laughing in Japanese, "I'm sorry! Can you do us a favor? Take a group photo for all of us? ”

Kutaragi Ken remained silent and nodded. Taking over the camera, Nikon collaborated with Fujifilm to design and produce the latest Nikon E2 SLR in 1995. Not only smacking, but this camera costs about 1.6 million yen. Close to $12,000, Indians are really rich!

At their request, a group photo was taken at the Nintendo gate, and when Kutaragi Ken returned the camera, he casually asked, "Why did you take a photo at the Nintendo gate?" ”

The tour guide is also in a good mood: "Maybe it won't be long before this place becomes history, and we also want to see the style of the former kings in the future." ”

Kutaragi was dumbfounded, and this group of people not only did not consume, but also humiliated Nintendo in front of him. ridiculing them as losers, and predicting that they will not live long and will soon become history, this is a slap in the face by Indians!

He angrily walked into the store and asked angrily in the warm "welcome" greeting from the clerk, "Did these tourists buy anything just now?" ”

The clerk recognized it as Ken Kutaragi and replied stiffly, "No, they are interested in all kinds of games and dolls, and they laugh and talk in English that we don't understand very well." But no one buys it, it seems that they are a little stingy, maybe it is a pure tour group, and there is no spending power. ”

Kutaragi Ken was silent. Walking out of the store, looking in the direction of the group of tourists, it was indeed walking towards the Sega franchise. So he followed.

Tourists don't have the patience to queue up for hundreds of meters, and the guide enters the store alone. Soon came out and greeted the tourists with a smile. I stayed inside for a full 20 minutes before I came out, and there was no one carrying a Sega shopping bag.

When Ken Kutaragi was in a slightly happier mood, the rich and handsome tour guide spotted him and greeted him with a smile: "Hello! Are you also planning to buy Sega's game products? ”

Kutaragi Ken could only nod and asked, "Why don't you buy some souvenirs and go back?" ”

The tour guide smiled heartily: "The things have been chosen, Sega accepts international reservations, places orders in Japan, you can pick up the goods in India, you don't have to queue up here for cashier, you don't have to pay freight, the goods are much more complete than in India, all are genuine!" ”

Kenchi Kutaragi asked, "Can you take the liberty of asking you about the amount of goods you bought?" ”

The tour guide smiled faintly: "1 million yen." ”

Fortunately, 1 million yen, less than 10,000 US dollars, buy ten SS consoles, and buy hundreds of game discs, there are not enough dolls around the game, plus taxes, it's really not much.

"...... per person" The tour guide smiled faintly, added a word, and then quietly left, making Kutaragi Ken stupid again.

1,000,000 yen per person, isn't that ...... A new SS console, a full set of hundreds of game discs, Pikachu, Shiranui Dance, Sonic Hedgehog's doll figures, 1 million is enough to buy a full set!

There are more than 20 of them, isn't the total price more than 20 million yen?

Bastard! How did Indians become so rich? Pay back to Japan and pick up the goods back to India? Ken Kutaragi has a splitting headache, he doesn't pull out a dime at a Nintendo store, and he spends a lot of money at a Sega store, what does this mean, and does this group of Indians play with him?

At this time, the conversation between the other two people in the long queue attracted the attention of Ken Kutaragi.

"Okawa, you really don't plan to wait for "Zombie Siege" to come out before buying it? You've saved enough money to buy a PS console, right? ”

"Hey! I worked hard to save pocket money for a year, but I don't want to waste it on a console like PS that doesn't live up to its name! I'd rather turn the money I spent on a PS console into dozens of SS game discs, anyway, I have an SS console at home, and I don't want to change the PS anymore! ”

"That's right! Everyone knows that Sony does false advertising, money is a small thing, but we feel like we are deceived idiots, and this feeling is particularly bad! ”

"That's the case with Sony, they sell the most expensive of all their electronics, but the performance is not necessarily better than other brands!"

"It's just ......"

Kutaragi Ken can't listen to it anymore, he can't wait any longer, he must come up with a countermeasure, otherwise once the Sony brand loses credibility in front of the public, it will definitely be an irreversible and devastating blow! (To be continued......)
