Chapter 70 Compromise

MGM's classic "Cat and Mouse" once had such a level: "The world is so big, I want to go out and have a look", Jerry took the train out of his and Tom's home in the countryside and came to the big city.

Although the big city looks bright and beautiful, it is not friendly to a country rat like Jerry. After seeing the bizarreness and darkness of the big city, Jerry, who felt that the city routine was too deep, returned to his home in the countryside and continued to live a happy life with Tom.

For John, this was his first time in a big city.

This place, called San Francisco, is called "Silicon Valley" because of its deep connection with the electronics industry.

North America is not in Silicon Valley, but on its edge. The reason why I chose here was that in addition to the time difference on the West Coast is more friendly to China and Japan, the second thing is that I have carried out some technical work here in the future. Not to mention collaborative development with other manufacturers, at least it is much easier to recruit talents.

However, although there were a lot of Silicon Valley programmers in 1988, there were very few people who specialized in making electronic games and had unique experience in electronic games.

Otherwise, Takahashi wouldn't have allowed Nick to search for potential game developers through his current methods.

Although Wanhu now has gained a firm foothold in the North American market, Takahashi doesn't want to stop like this. He wants to truly make Wanhu as its name, and people from thousands of households can know it.

If you want to expand your influence, in addition to large-scale investment in advertising, it is also important to have excellent games. Takahashi thinks that John's idea is a good way for Wanhu to break a bigger hole in North America at this stage.

The United States is a major entertainment country, and its attention to sports can be said to be comparable to that of developed European countries.

Although the United States was hailed as a desert of football in later generations, it still has a little love for football at this moment.

John chose to make football games not because he likes football the most, but because football is the best in almost all multiplayer sports competitions, and the rules are best reproduced in the video game summary.

Sports such as rugby and ice hockey are not completely impossible to reproduce in electronic games.

However, with the current machine performance capabilities, it is too difficult to do these things.

John's previous behavior was to work behind closed doors, but in fact he had no research on the market and other things. He made games entirely based on his intuition and his preferences.

Takahashi has already figured out the three tricks that John's football game will do after it is really made. First, verify the completion of the game and the player's reaction in the United States. Then, cast the game to Europe, where football is the craziest. The culture of the United States is quite similar, so the data obtained in the United States is also likely to work in Europe.

The reason why Takahashi is like a big pancake and wants to enter the European market is because Sega has extended its tentacles into Europe.

For local home game console manufacturers like Sega and Nintendo, no one can beat the world except their own competitors.

The top few players who have emerged in Japan, which is almost a white-hot home electronic game market, are like raising a pot. Even if manufacturers in other countries around the world realize this market, they will not be able to compete with Japanese manufacturers at the product level in a short time.

Therefore, whether it is North America, the largest consumer market, or Europe, the old consumer holy place, the entire world map is like a big cake for home console game manufacturers such as Nintendo and Sega.

As long as you grab it in advance and carefully, you can gain enough market share.

Nintendo's magic weapon to open up the market is cheap and its own game.

A cheap console with excellent gaming games will be rewarded soon after investing in a lot of ads.

Sega chose a higher price than Nintendo, but it still has a very cost-effective price, and even better performance than mainstream personal computers, plus better picture expression.

Although the game I made homemade still has some implications for the concept of home computers, some of which are not suitable for the local environment.

However, having ten thousand households is a battle-hardened person. On Nintendo's red and white machine, two works sold over one million, and almost all red and white machine games were escorted by soft-armored celebrities with sales of over one million.

Sega, which has better picture expression, has far better performance in overseas markets than in Japan.

If Nintendo has almost 80 to 90% market share in Japan, then in North America and Europe it will be at most 55% higher than Sega.

Although it is still excellent, being able to fight Sega in overseas markets has already made Nintendo's decision-maker feel shame.

Wanhu did not have the intention to join the console war in a short time. Although he had already been affected, Nintendo was forcibly fired from Nintendo with the tactic of hurting one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred by himself.

Although Takahashi also knows that having his own host is the safest choice, Wanhu's current strength still has no way to end up in person.

I can only follow Sega's footsteps and follow it step by step. Wherever Sega's home consoles are sold, Wanhu's handheld game consoles will be sold.

The path Takahashi is pursuing now is to overtake on a curve, and invest all his strength in a field like handheld game consoles, which almost all manufacturers do not give their all.

Unfortunately, although the sales data of Tetris handheld consoles are very good now, they are due to technical limitations. Although Tetris handheld consoles are scalable, they are not scalable. There are too few games that can be made, at most twenty or thirty games are made, and it is impossible to become a handheld console that can really play many types of game types.

Otherwise, Wanhu can gain a lot if he owns the handheld machine platform.

The sales of Tetris handheld consoles also made Nintendo and Sega react. They discovered the potential of handheld consoles.

Nintendo even radically wanted to copy the myth of red and white machines on the home machine to the handheld machine. They even wanted to stuff a home machine like the red and white machine on the handheld machine.

Just like an arcade giant wants to make its home game consoles play its own arcade games without loss, a home game giant like Nintendo also wants to make players play their own home game on handheld consoles.

However, due to the limitations of technology, Nintendo, which has never been specialized in technology, can only constantly compromise.
