Chapter 41: Ken Kutaragi
The cassettes of red and white machines are not small in size, and adults may not swallow them. Therefore, there is no need for bitter coatings to prevent children from accidentally eating them. Because the licking cassettes in this era are "pure natural" and "green and pollution-free" "real-licking card".
Takahashi didn't speak, and the investigator could only drink tea in a depressed manner.
Kokutaraki's tongue left the cassette, and a crystal-like arc composed of saliva was pulled between his mouth and the cassette's golden fingers.
"Click!" The cassette was inserted into the card slot, locked, and pressed the power switch, and the game screen appeared on the TV.
Ken Kokutaraki turned his head and was about to hand over the handle to Takahashi when he heard the sound of the door opening from the corridor.
"I'm back!" Ken Kutaraki's voice sounded.
Hanging the outer coat on the hanger, Ken Kutaraki is in an extremely good state of mind. Although "Super Mario Bros." is not Sony's game, the little trial on this game is enough to prove that the promotion of electronic games has great potential.
Sony has always been thinking about entering the electronic game market. Although they do not have the stage of agents for American arcades and technical reserves, Sony's technical strength can still meet the needs of arcade design.
However, I don’t know if Sony really doesn’t know how to make games. Although their technical level is unquestionable, none of the games they made are popular with the majority of players, which hurts Sony. Such a large piece of meat that suddenly appears can’t be eaten. Sony really feels so painful, so heartache.
In the past year, Nintendo's rise in the home computer market has been another concern for Japan.
Compared with arcade machines, the home appliance market has a larger sales volume and more sales. It is more in line with Sony's identity as making white goods, so Sony attaches great importance to this market.
From the red and white machine of the industry leader Nintendo to the SG-1000 of the industry's transparent Sega. It didn't take long for Sony to "remember the drawings of the two companies". However, they were reluctant to enter the home machine market because Sony had found on arcades that they could not make games, and designing a home machine and building a complete production line would cost far more money than building an arcade factory.
Perhaps it is because Sony has a clean gene in its bones. If Sony can produce almost all the parts of Sony products, it will produce them by itself.
Moreover, we will never use OEM factories, and all products are assembled by our own factories.
This advantage is naturally that it can ensure the product yield and the quality of the product, but the disadvantage is that the cost will increase. It is impossible to squeeze human resources inhumanely like OEM factories.
Ken Kutaraki is happy because of the propaganda path he is responsible for, which allows the leaders to see a new path. Since we have the publicity ability and the technical level, even if we cannot make games well, we can only build a platform and be responsible for publicity.
Because of this experiment, Ken Kutaraki became a core member of Sony home phones, which had not yet been designated as a codename.
"Are there any customers?" Ken Kutaraki whispered when he saw the shoes on the shoe rack. He walked into the room and saw two guests coming from home today. When he saw the investigator, he had no expression on his face, but when he saw Takahashi, his face changed suddenly.
He greeted him enthusiastically, "Hello Takahashi, I am his father, Ken Kutaraki."
Ken Kutaraki asked his son to promote the hidden levels of "Super Mario Bros.", which actually means "fishing".
Since Sony is not a mainstream electronic game manufacturer and is not the person in charge of the game business, it is difficult to get to know the game media. In this case, his son is a player who discovered the "hidden levels" of "Super Mario Bros.", so he will definitely attract the game media.
However, what he didn't expect was that he originally thought that a small fish would be enough, but he never expected that the big fish that he caught was Takahashi.
Every industry has pioneers, pioneers, and pioneers, and Takahashi is the pioneer, pioneer and pioneer of electronic game media.
Moreover, unlike other monsters of the mountain. Takahashi was not drowned by the turbulent juniors. Even though the professional quality of game media people is constantly improving, their skill level is constantly rising.
In this case, Takahashi, who is first-class and active in the front line, is still a monster in this industry, and of course, it is a "big fish".
Ken Kutaraki felt that when he caught a big fish, Takahashi was also lamenting the magic of the universe under the world. Logically speaking, the Tokyo Bureau is not small, and it is even a rare super metropolis in the world now. But he can still meet famous figures in such a big world.
Although Takahashi didn't remember what Ken Kutaraki looked like, Ken Kutaraki in front of him should be the father of PS he knew.
However, in order to avoid misunderstandings, Takahashi said, "Yes, I am Takahashi, but I want to ask, are you working at Sony?"
"How do you know?" Ken Kutaraki looked surprised. There was nothing on him that proved that he was a Sony employee.
Takahashi pretended to be pondering, but was actually looking for a reason. He silently scanned the room and saw the thirty-inch color TV in the corner of the wall, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Because of that TV!" Takahashi said with a look of "it really seems to be only one."
Ken Kutaraki stared at the TV for a while, and the TV did not have Sony's logo attached. Because this is not a product normally produced by the factory.
The reason why he was at Ken Kutaraki's home is that as a talent for screen and LCD technology, he is responsible for testing the lifespan of this TV to see if there will be problems such as the use time is too short, or if there will be color discoloration in too short.
Perhaps ordinary users will not feel anything about the color change of LCD screens. However, ordinary people cannot use this high-end display device. Generally, they are large TV stations. In order to ensure the accuracy of the color of the program production, they buy expensive professional screens.
After confirming this, Ken Kutaraki is Ken Kutaraki of Sony. Takahashi had more thoughts in his mind. Although Sony's first unit was paid attention to in another time and space, it was only released in 1994, I don't know when the project was launched.
