Chapter 78 78. I was stupid

Although Pokémon is a good game, it is very bumpy when it becomes popular.

Qing Zhiyuan does not think that he has a stronger influence than Ren Tiantang, so if he wants to keep this big IP, he still has to do some hard work in the early stage.

There are two problems to be solved at present:

First, handheld machine platform.

Pokémon's success is inseparable from Rentian's handheld game.

Although Sega has always been very strong in hardware, this incompetent guy is simply a mess on the handheld.

Rentiantang’s handheld machine is beautiful and lightweight, and Sega’s handheld machine looks like a heavy brick.

We have to find a way to convince Sega to develop a new handheld machine product, otherwise Pokémon will not be able to be sold on MD.

Second, animation.

The influence of animation on Pokémon is crucial. Even players far away in China are mostly influenced by Pokémon cartoons.

So Pokémon must be animated.

To this end, Qing Zhiyuan has to find a reliable animation production company.

Of course, both of these prerequisites are inseparable from--

money.

After finally making some money, Qing Zhiyuan found it was too late to find it was too late.

...

at the same time.

July 3, 1991.

Chicago Consumer Electronics Show.

Pre-exhibition press conference.

The lights are flashing around, and Ken Kutaraki, a senior development engineer at Neon Sony, stood in the center of the stage to show everyone a new game console product.

"This product is a perfect collaboration between Sony and Neon's famous game developer Ren Tiantang."

Ken Kutaraki looked excited, and the white suit on his body seemed to shine with light.

"As we all know, the development of home gaming consoles has now gone from 8-bit to 16-bit, and their performance has been greatly optimized, but the only drawback is that-

Due to the size of the cassette capacity, it is difficult for the game to make further breakthroughs.

The largest FC gaming cassette capacity is about 8M.

Oh, no, it should be around 50M.”

Ken Kutaraki corrected his statement, mainly because there was a company called pokeni that was crazy about adding a chip to the game cartridge specifically to deal with memory problems.

Directly expand the 8M game capacity to 50M.

I have to say that the hardware engineer of this company is simply a genius.

"But such cassettes are also very serious. After adding the chip, the cost of the cassette itself will be greatly increased."

Two years ago, Rentiantang wanted to solve the problem of insufficient cassette game capacity on red and white machines, so it invited Sony to develop a component with an additional CD-ROM disc game for Super Rentiantang.

It is tentatively named Play Station or SFC-CD or SNES-CD.

This thing is the prototype of the famous PS in the future.

This game console was shown at this exhibition.

"Sony has the most advanced storage technology in the world, and Rentian has the best games in the world and the best players."

Hearing this, there was applause below.

Ken Kutaragi smiled and continued, "The CD-rom and cassette all-in-one SFC developed by Sony and Rentian will become a very important milestone.

Using Sony's CD technology, a 50m cassette capacity can be directly turned into a CD disc with a capacity of more than 500M or even more.

Under this premise, players will experience an unprecedented game feast.”

"The necessity of hardware development is to compress more information into smaller media.

And richer information and capacity will inevitably bring about an overall leap in game quality.”

Ken Kutaraki also demonstrated a small visual game that Sony itself used to display on the spot using the newly developed PS trial machine.

Once played, all the audiences on the scene were shocked.

The game's picture quality, sound effects, and performance are enough to shock everyone.

After the demonstration was completed, Ken Kutaraki showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"I believe that the cooperation between Sony and Rentian will bring a whole new change to the world.

Thank you for your support and for your favor. Thank you for your love!”

Applause was thunderous below.

It lasts for a long time.

Ken Kutaraki glanced at the bottom of the audience. Mr. Yamauchi, the president of Rentian, wore a pair of sunglasses and clapped with a smile on his lips.

How long did Ryogi Ken feel moved?

Thanks to Ren Tiantang giving him this opportunity, it is really lucky to be able to cooperate with a large manufacturer like Ren Tiantang.

...

However, just when Ken Kutaraki was immersed in his vision of the bright future of Sony and Rentian, something jaw-dropping happened the next day.

Just the next day, it was also at the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show.

Rentian's president Hiroshi Yamauchi and Philips Company announced the CDI format multimedia host at the exhibition.

“We will work with Philips to develop new multimedia game consoles.

The disc part of SNES-CD will be developed by Philips.

Philips is a company with great strength in hardware, and I believe this gaming console in the future will surely shine!"

Nani?!

Ken Kutaraki, who was sitting below watching all this, staring wide with his eyes wide open, and he could not believe what was happening in front of him.

Although I had learned some internal news a few days ago that Rentian would abandon Sony and instead cooperate with Philips.

But Sony still believes that Ren Tiantang cannot betray it.

After all, a lot of money and time have been invested. If you turn against each other in the face of the battle, you will not only lose the cost of sunk, but also have an impact on Ren Tiantang's reputation.

But I didn't expect that all this would be true.

President Yamauchi, despite the cooperation between Sony and Iontian over the years, rashly announced the cooperation with Philips at the pre-exhibition press conference, which undoubtedly gave Ken Kutaraki a slap in the face.

At this time, Ken Kutaraki was completely stunned and at a loss for the sudden betrayal of Ren Tiantang.
