July 13, 2000.

The annual E3 electronics show kicked off in Los Angeles.

The theme of this year's exhibition is "beyond imagination", and more than 280 game developers will be present, with 2,400 games and 62,000 visitors.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese software vendors have finally joined the ranks of E3 at this exhibition.

The RTS game "Three Kingdoms" produced by Target Software will appear at the Eidos booth, which is of far-reaching significance for domestic games.

Before the pre-show press conference began, Pokeni was domineering at this exhibition, and even the calling Sony was dwarfed.

This time, Qing Zhiyuan did not make any special requests to the organizers, but just reported the list of exhibitors on pokeni's side, and the organizers gave them a main C position.

The real hall is in the middle of the wall, and it's huge, almost the size of half a football field.

Exclusively for Pokeni for exhibition.

It is in line with the meaning of Qing Zhiyuan.

……

Correspondingly, Sony and Ren Heaven have not been able to enjoy such good treatment.

Sony's exhibition space is still large, but it is only about two-thirds the size of a pokeni, and Rentendo is even smaller.

EA is about the same size as Sony.

However, in terms of game sales, Pokeni is now the number one player in the world, and last year it firmly occupied the first place in the world with more than 56 million copies sold.

Then there is EA, Sony, Rentendo.

Sony's revenue is mainly dependent on the royalties of its own game consoles, and the Super Mario series still achieved good success last year.

Therefore, judging from the sales results of game producers alone, the location arrangement of this exhibition area is also quite reasonable.

However, Ken Kutaragi's personal emotions are still unacceptable.

Last year, it was still Huashan on the sword, and it was the best in the world.

How did Pokeni become a monopoly this year?

Ken Kutaragi couldn't quite figure this out.

It stands to reason that from the perspective of the company's scale and market share, it is obvious that Sony still has the upper hand now, although Omi DC is very competitive, but Sony's PS on the neon side is still in a monopoly position.

But looking at the appearance of everyone talking about Qing Zhiyuan, Kutaragi Ken always has the illusion that Pokeni is the boss.

……

As soon as Qing Zhiyuan arrived at the scene, almost all game manufacturers and agents and distributors unconsciously moved closer to him.

It's like a huge magnet of Qing Zhiyuan.

The young president, who is nearly 40 years old, has walked out of a step that his six relatives do not recognize, and he has to drag as much as he wants.

Along the way, Square Enix's Masashi Miyamoto, Konami, and Glory...... A large number of game manufacturers came over and chatted with Qing Zhiyuan alone.

"Pokeni was the champion in game sales last year, I'm so envious, and I don't know when Square Enix will have such results.

Final Fantasy would be if it could have half the sales of Pokémon. ”

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan lowered his head and whispered to Masashi Miyamoto, "President Miyamoto, if you choose to release it on the dandelion game platform, the sales will definitely increase to a great extent." ”

What Qing Zhiyuan said was not a lie.

This year, with several DC exclusives, such as AIR and 86 sequels...... directly made the sales of Sega DC game consoles sell out, and the market share instantly ate 11 points from Sony.

The Omega region is almost close to 55 open.

The neon side has also opened up the situation.

However, this is only from the share of game consoles, if you look at the share of the platform, the current dandelion game platform can be said to be the largest game platform in the world.

The market share in the Omi region is in an absolute leading position.

In China, the dandelion game platform is almost completely monopolized.

Fortunately, there are no anti-monopoly policies for so-called game platforms in China, so whether it is Pokeni or its penguins, they are still alive and well.

It can be seen from the attitude of these game companies towards Qingzhiyuan who represents the future.

Pokeni's dandelion platform is so big that it can't be ignored, that's why they want to come to Qingzhiyuan.

Listening to the whisper of Daoqing Zhiyuan, the big stone in Miyamoto Masashi's heart finally fell to the ground, so he laughed.

"Qingsang, Final Fantasy 9 is already in development, and it is estimated that it will be able to land on the dandelion game platform next year."

Masashi Miyamoto did not say DC, but said dandelion game platform, indicating that in his cognition, dandelion game platform is what really represents the future.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Welcome to the Pokeni platform, it's an honor." ”

Miyamoto received an answer to his satisfaction, and withdrew from the army of followers, and the others immediately filled the vacancy.

Qing Zhiyuan is surrounded by people.

"Pokeni's technology is really good, the sequel to 86 is simply amazing, and it can do this kind of thing in a war chess game."

"To get a perfect score of 40 points, it feels like drinking water, and Pokeni's game is as god as ever."

"If you want me to say, it's too little for Farmiton to give 40 points, if it were me, I would simply give each editor 10 more points of autonomy, and give the 86 sequel to 80 points."

Tsk, Qing Zhiyuan glanced back.

I found out that it was the president of a newly opened small company.,I don't remember what the name is.,But this young man speaks very nicely.。

Qing Zhiyuan likes such a cutie.

……

Ed Fryce, the director of Microsoft's game department, had green eyes in his eyes, and his eyes were staring at the high-spirited Qing Zhiyuan, and he couldn't wait to light Qing Zhiyuan when he smoked a cigarette.

When it comes to his personal hatred of Ching Chi Won, Fryce is definitely unique in the entire venue.

For example, Sony's Kutaragi Ken, at most, is in awe of Pokeni, and treats him as a competitor, but for Qing Zhiyuan himself, Kuda Ryagi Ken has no hatred at all.

Not only does he not hate, on the contrary, Kutaragi Ken also especially appreciates and likes this guy who is his age.

This is probably heroes cherish heroes.

But Fleis has a personal hatred for Qing Zhiyuan, and of course he also hates Pokeni, and even hates all the neon game companies.

Qing Zhiyuan is like a little devil, and he was bewitched by a few words of chat with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates alone last year.

Otherwise, Microsoft would not have carried out an equity exchange with Pokeni, thus giving up its own hosting business development.

Although Microsoft's top management still thinks the deal is a good deal, especially after the dot-com bubble crisis, Microsoft's stock price plummeted, but because of the purchase of a stake in Pokeni, this high-quality asset has stabilized Microsoft's shareholders.

Last year, Pokeni was valued at more than $60 billion, and after the dot-com bubble crisis, the valuation has not decreased, but has increased.

The valuation of P by a third-party agency has risen to more than $80 billion.

One up and one down, this deal is more cost-effective.

This is also the reason why Bill Gates strongly asked Fryss to give pokeni a platform at this year's E3 electronics show.

This is based on a community of stakeholders at the corporate level, and naturally there is no problem.

But what about Frys?

A great opportunity to show his talents, but he was deprived of Qing Zhiyuan.

According to Fryce's vision, once Microsoft's own game console led by him is successfully developed, then the company will definitely make heavy bets in order to open up the market for the game department, even if it burns money, it will definitely be able to burn a piece of the world.

At that time, it is possible that this game console will succeed in equalizing the world with Sony, and even surpass Sony in the next few years.

Fryce, who has accomplished these feats, will surely be regarded as a hero by the higher-ups, and he will also firmly hold the discourse of Microsoft games.

Can ...... now

Hey, my face is full of tears.

Fryce was like being given to the minotaur by Qing Zhiyuan.

Obviously I came first! Fak Qing Zhiyuan, this junior is actually on the throne.

……

As Qing Zhiyuan's pace continued to get closer, Fleith quickly stood up, standing up straight, like a soldier, looking at him with his chest puffed out with a little excitement.

Qing Zhiyuan walked in front of Frys, showing a gentle and close smile, "See you again, Mr. Fryce." ”

"Ah, yes, that ......"

Fryce scratched the curls on the back of his head, "Mr. Gates asked us to support pokeni, and this time Microsoft has also brought a lot of high-quality games, all of which are based on the DC platform." ”

"Good work." Qing Zhiyuan bowed slightly, then smiled politely and walked towards the Pokeni exhibition area.

After he left, Fryce was particularly depressed.

Yes......

Fack, Fack!!

Damn Qing Zhiyuan.

But the question is, why am I so useless, it's obvious that he stole your place Fryce, why do you still stick his cold ass with a hot face?

It can only be said that the adult world is full of hypocrisy and all kinds of helplessness.

……

"Looks like these third parties have fallen to Pokeni again?"

On Sony's side, Jeffrey Tovani, the head of Sony's Mikoku exhibition area, leaned into Ken Kutaragi's ear and said.

Kutaragi Ken just sighed lightly and didn't speak.

In fact, it is the norm in the industry, and the third party is actually the weak party in front of Sony and Pokeni, who have the right to speak.

Kutaragi Ken used to be one of these weak parties, so he was especially able to understand it.

If a small company wants to survive in the cracks, it naturally has to curry favor with both sides.

Pokeni has seized the market and merchants, in addition to envying them for their superb technology, the most important thing is to blame themselves for being useless.

I thought that the moat forged by PS was wide enough, and there was a high wall behind it, so it would not be easily attacked.

Who knows if the use of DC game consoles to attack is fake, and the darkness of Chen Cang through the dandelion game platform is true.

The two sides work together seamlessly, and it's hard for you not to be eroded.

The game machine can be guarded, but people directly drop troops into the city from above through the transport plane of the dandelion game platform, and the moat will not have much effect.

I have to say that this guy Qing Zhiyuan is really a great genius.

in every sense of the word.

As soon as he thought of this, Ken Kutaragi's admiration for him deepened.
