Chapter 1834 Open up all channels
"Everyone, the latest scheduled data has come out, we have completely lost!" At a meeting, Ken Ryogi, who had returned from China, looked at the data in front of him and sighed.
Sony's PSP and Daqian's Qiankun Change were all released worldwide on Labor Day on May 1st, so the pre-order quantity became the weather vane to show these two handheld machines.
As Ryogi Ken guessed, Qiankun had already received a pre-order amount of 8 million in more than ten days.
That's right, it's 8 million. It seems that there are too many players in this world who are waiting for new devices to be replaced by a thousand machines.
As for Sony's PSP, there is nothing to say. The data from various channels are summed up, and the reservation is only over 300,000 units.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on PSP. After all, PSP does not have any mass base, and it is incomparable to Qiankun Bian, which has a large number of fans of Qianji Users.
"In fact, the reservation data cannot represent anything. After actual sales, players will naturally tell who has a better handheld console!" There was an executive, but no one heard what he said.
The data on the handheld machine is there, and any wise person knows that their PSP is over.
"In fact, what is more worthy of our attention is the reservation volume of Qianjiu's Qian!" Ken Ryogi sighed and said, "The reservation of Qianjiu game consoles is more than 4 million. This is the data when our PS2 occupied the market one year ahead of schedule!"
"It can be said that the entire gaming circle has been completely crazy by the two game consoles launched by Daqian. We have a great disadvantage!" Ken Ryogi's face was full of pessimism.
Because the current market is indeed like Ken Raki said, almost all game media are discussing the Qiankun Bian and Qianjue consoles launched by Daqian. For Sony's game consoles, almost no one has talked about it. After all, the game consoles are directly installed with the same system as PC and then synchronized games. This is of too great significance for the entire game industry.
In the past, if a game manufacturer wanted to publish a game, it had to consider three different channels: console channel, PC channel, and handheld channel.
The three different channels require different game versions, which is a huge cost waste for many game manufacturers.
But now, they usually only need to build a Hongmeng version of the game to log in to three channels of game consoles at the same time.
Moreover, the new products launched by Daqian do not require cassettes or CDs as game media. They have built-in a 10GB hard drive that can be used to download and install a lot of games, which can omit the cost of manufacturers burning games.
So when the two game consoles of Daqian Qiankun and Qianjue were released, the most exciting thing was not the players, but the game developers. They found that their dream seemed to be finally realized. They only need to pay the sharing fee with the platform in the future, and all version transplant fees, burning fees, channel fees, etc. will not be needed anymore. This is simply the greatest progress in human history!!
Of course, this is just a beautiful state. After all, the speed of the network itself is still insufficient. There are still many games that need to be released with cassettes or CDs, but the future is promising.
Therefore, major game manufacturers are very active in Daqian's changes. Many game developers who had agreed to join PS2 or PSP began to change their minds for various reasons. Sony Games is facing the worst situation in history.
"I don't believe it anymore. There are so many of us, our big Sony will have no way to do anything!" An executive said angrily.
"Don't say, we really have no choice!" Another executive snorted coldly and said, "We Sony have never had sex with Daqian. How tragic the VCD in those days, how bad did we lose?"
"Not bad, and there are many people inside Sony who are in love with Daqian, and there are even some directors who have various contacts with Natsume Network below Daqian. They will not support us in fighting Daqian!" Another executive sighed.
As five years have passed, Natsume Network has now become the largest network operator in Fuso. None of them are the kind. In the face of the huge broadband monopoly in Natsume Network, other network operators have directly and simply withdrawn from the market, so Natsume has almost monopolized the entire Fuso network.
Of course, at the cost, Natsume Network's equity was broken up and used to win over the powerful people in Fuso. Otherwise, they would not allow Natsume Network to exist, which is a sacrifice that must be made.
However, the 80 billion US dollar loan was completely cut off from Dachi, and Natsume Network itself took on it.
In the end, 40% of Natsume Network's equity was in Haruko Natsume's hands, and the remaining 60% were scattered in the hands of various powerful people in Fusang.
Many of these powerful people also hold Sony's shares and are Sony's directors, so the relationship between Sony and Daqian is very complicated now.
Considering that Sony's two different departments often have direct conflicts, this doesn't seem to be an abnormal thing.
"Everyone, we must admit that it is that relying solely on Sony Games' own power, we can no longer defeat Daqian Game." Ken Ryogi said in a useful and heavy voice, "Because our opponent is no longer a simple company, but a giant trust that monopolizes all aspects of the entire game industry. They have a size and strength far beyond our Sony. We want to defeat Daqian... No, even if we get a piece of the pie in Daqian's hands, we need more strength!"
"So I suggest that we must unite all forces that can be united to cope with Daqian's offensive. What companies do you think should we unite?" Ken Ryogi asked back.
"Nintendo!" Although everyone said in unison, the answer was actually meaningless, because Nintendo had already joined forces with Sony.
"Microsoft!" An executive said, "Daqian's Hongmeng poses a fatal threat to Microsoft's Windows system. In addition, the hatred between Microsoft and Daqian is deeper than us!"
