Chapter 178: Lithium Batteries

Amid the roar of the cars, Ken Kutaragi announced the configuration of the PlayStation.

"We use a dedicated CPU based on the YX architecture of up to 66MHz provided by Yuanxin Technology. ”

At the same time, it is also equipped with a Sirius display core provided by Xinghai Technology, which supports polygonal 3D and full 2D. The core has display capabilities that are not part of a graphics workstation!"

"At the same time, we will also be equipped with 3M RAM and 1M video memory. and our best sound chip ......"

Accompanied by Ken Kutaragi's voice, everyone was attracted by the configuration of this host.

If you just follow the configuration, this game console can indeed be called an epoch-making product.

The game paused, and Ken Kutaragi looked at the waiting crowd in the audience and quoted the price and the time of full listing.

"Next January 10th, $299. ”

After speaking, Ken Kutaragi bowed and stepped down.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then began to erupt in applause.

......

Su Yuanshan bypassed the flow of people and walked to Sony's booth No. 1.

At this time, Kutara Muken was hiding behind the screen and gulping water, and when he saw Su Yuanshan, he immediately beckoned to the staff and let Su Yuanshan advance.

"Congratulations. Su Yuanshan glanced back at the many software sellers and people related to the game industry who came to inquire in front of the booth, and said to Ken Taragi for a long time.

Kutaragi Ken held Su Yuanshan's hand and shook it constantly, and finally only said in Chinese, "Thank you." ”

When Kutara Muken was invited to the provincial capital, he humbly asked Su Yuanshan for advice on how to launch the PlayStation.

You know, there is no big name E3 game show at this time. Similar video game consoles are usually released at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January (also in Las Vegas). If you miss it, you will generally consider the radio and television show in April.

If you miss it again, it means that there is a problem with your development progress...... You can only rely on your own channels or TV commercials to promote.

Thanks to the cooperation of several teams, the development of the PlayStation progressed faster than expected, and when it was still July, it was confirmed that the engineering prototype could be launched in October.

Kutaraki's plan is to make good use of these three months to increase production capacity, win over game developers, and then wait for next January, when the Consumer Electronics Show comes, to directly seal his throat.

Two years ago, at the 1991 Consumer Electronics Show, Sony enthusiastically announced that it would cooperate with Nintendo, and also announced the information about CD-Rom peripherals and the all-in-one phone, that is, the PlayStation. The whole body reveals a sense of happiness from level 0 trumpet to find a full-level boss with a brush copy.

But who expected to enter the dungeon, the little boss didn't finish fighting, and Sony was kicked out of the dungeon by the full-level boss.

This humiliation...... Ken Kutaragi vows to get it back.

And next January, it will be exactly three years.

However, when he met Su Yuanshan in August, Su Yuanshan told Kutara Mujian that there was no need.

Now PlayStation has an absolute advantage in technology, and Sony has no need to hide it at all - the only trouble for Sony now is that, as a newcomer to the game industry, there is no game developer to play with.

Therefore? Can Sony show off the host directly at the dealer conference in October? Showcase the technology and open the call for partners to the world.

- Lower royalty than Nintendo? Lower barriers to entry? Less stringent review criteria, and no limit on the number of developments? Add to that the fact that a game console is a great value for money – if it doesn't appeal to game developers, it's not Sony's problem.

It's the game developers who have gone wrong.

Have they been kneeling for a long time? Can't get up.

"These three months should be the hardest three months for Nintendo? They can only pray that none of the PlayStation games will catch fire. Other than that, there is no solution. ”

In the middle of talking and laughing, Su Yuanshan sentenced Nintendo to death.

Kutaragi Ken shook his head with a smile: "But not necessarily?" After all, they are currently the most powerful gaming business. There is a large game development team and a large player base......"

"Trust me? As long as PlayStation can technically crush it, then it's really hard for them to turn over. Unless they can develop innovative game modes......"

In the old time and space, the world said that Final Fantasy 7 finally helped PS defeat Nintendo, but on the contrary, why didn't PS achieve Final Fantasy 7?

At this time, Su Yuanshan thought of the WII of the Jedi counterattack in the later generations.

If you don't have a WII? I'm afraid that Nintendo will really seal it together with Microsoft and Sony.

But this life...... Su Yuanshan will not give Nintendo another chance to develop WII.

"I trust your vision. Kutaragi Ken nodded, and then he glanced at the central booth? Prompt: "Your beautiful president has begun." ”

Su Yuanshan turned around and saw Chen Jing standing on the stage? Holding the first mobile phone of Yuanxin in his left hand, he is greeted by countless flashes.

"Huh? Small products? There is nothing to be proud of. ”

Su Yuanshan said that in his mouth? turned around and hugged his arms, his eyes fell on Chen Jing's body tightly.

Chen Jing introduced the various parameters of the mobile phone in fluent English, including measurements, weight, signal strength, battery life and so on.

However, it is true that as Su Yuanshan said, the feature phone at this time really has nothing to be proud of - the biggest function is calling, and even text messages will have to wait a few years for them to become popular.

Mature products work on appearance, while immature products strive to improve signal strength, battery life, and so on.

And Yuanxin's mobile phone is also a bright picture to a large extent, after all, its main battlefield will be at home, and the foreign side is mainly handed over to Xinghai to complete.

Of course, if the market recognizes, Su Yuanshan doesn't mind selling his mobile phone to the west.

After introducing the phone, Chen Jing held up another CPU.

Up to 100MHz, the YX02 with reduced instruction set architecture can be said to be the most mature and powerful reduced instruction set CPU at present. Especially after Sony announced the use of the YX architecture just now, it has attracted more attention.

"It seems that it is still a bit difficult for the reduced instruction set CPU to break into this market. Su Yuanshan looked at the reaction of the audience, frowned, and said, "These guys really only have the idea that they can use enough......

Kutara Kiken glanced at Su Yuanshan and said something that only "his own people" would say: "Now it is difficult for any product to enter the western market. ”

Su Yuanshan smiled.

The two semiconductor agreements coupled with the appreciation of the yen have made the Niguo semiconductor industry miserable...... People boil frogs in warm water, but Lao Mei is good, and I can't wait to boil the frogs.

Su Yuanshan said: "You focus on consumer electronics, it should be much better." ”

The two chatted casually until Chen Jing finished the show.

Su Yuanshan suddenly asked as if very casually: "Mr. Jiuduo, how is the development of your mobile phone?"

The reason why Su Yuanshan asked this was because he knew...... Sony's mobile phone came out only after 95 years. And because of the different systems, it has been only nested in the country.

"Huh?" Kutaragi Ken was slightly stunned, and shook his head after a pause: "It's a bit difficult." ”

"Then don't do it, let's just authorize the full set of solutions to you. ”

Kutara Mujian was stunned again, he couldn't tell what Su Yuanshan meant by suddenly authorizing the mobile phone plan - simply selling for money?

But he knew right away that it was unlikely.

Because now the most important thing for Yuanxin is money, and Sony ...... is very short of money!

"What do you want in exchange?" asked Kutaragi Ken.

"Lithium batteries. Su Yuanshan replied, paused, and added: "We are also working on lithium batteries, and we may have found a relatively safe cathode material." ”

"What?" said Kuta, who almost bit his tongue.
