Chapter 59 Give up

Tripp did not hesitate at all when he left China. The flight from Capital International Airport took off. He was sitting in business class and sentenced Wanhu to death.

He doesn't think there is something wrong with his 3do thinking.

Players need high-performance hosts, but players want to be cheap. 3do is a combination of high-performance and cheapness. In his opinion, this is a host that will inevitably succeed. Now he has just encountered a little setback.

But he was very dissatisfied with Wanhu.

You know, China's sense of existence in his eyes is even worse than India.

Although China, like India, has a huge population, what's the use of these poor people?

Any company needs an external environment as support.

For example, the United States is now the largest electronic game consumer market in the world, so naturally many game companies will emerge.

For example, Japan is the world's number one game exporter and the world's second largest electronic game consumer market, so it is naturally very vital.

Wanhu was originally headquartered in Japan and in Tokyo, where the most popular place for video games and the most talented place. It is easy to do a game company there.

But what about in China?

Tripp even suspects that the guys who are still pushing wooden wheelbarrows know what video games are.

Can you make games in an environment without a market? Can you make good games and survive for a long time?

Tripp didn't believe it.

Even when he was in the electronic art world, he never thought about letting the electronic art world games be released in China.

It was not until recently that he heard that games in the electronic art world began to be released in China.

What are you doing such a thankless thing?

Tripp hated this kind of behavior very much. He thought China was as annoying as the president of Wanhu.

As for what to do with the 3do host, Tripp thought about it and might just think that it failed to start a business. Anyway, I can't pay much money. I will return to the electronic art world, which is my home.

Tripp, who made these decisions, wore soundproof headphones and eye masks, and he wanted to have a good sleep.

As for Takahashi's statement that Wanhu also wants to do game consoles, he has almost forgotten.

While Tripp was enjoying his rest on the plane, Mr. Bill Gates, the chief commander of Microsoft, was in a meeting.

As the richest man in the world, he should have no desires or desires, but he still has an obsession, which is the game console.

From leading the production of msx consoles in the 1980s, to later pce to now 3do, Microsoft has actually become a veteran in the electronic game market.

It's just a pity that I haven't achieved any results.

If Microsoft was just established, it was not a company with advanced technology, but in the mid-1990s, Microsoft had already wanted money and technology, so Bill Gates decided to attack the electronic game market again.

The reason why he is so obsessed with home hosting is that after the window operating system occupied the office, Microsoft lacked a new growth point.

People's stickiness to office software is obviously not as high as entertainment software.

In this way, launching your own home console, occupying the living room, and even watching TV through this console is a good note.

You should know that the annual advertising revenue of TV stations across the United States is very considerable. If Microsoft's game console can play the role of channel entrance, it will obviously make a lot of money.

"This time we have to make our own home game console and no longer cooperate with others. Whether it is Panasonic, Sanyo or 3do, none of these manufacturers are reliable.

We need to learn Nintendo and learn that they launch cheap game consoles. Of course, what we can't learn is that our machines must have high performance.

Of course, the cost of high performance is also high, so this time we must be prepared to lose money.

I think it is worth sacrificing short-term interests for the sake of long-term interests.

This time the host is called xbox, the mysterious box, it sounds good, right?

The meeting ended."

Bill Gates said.

Bill Gates is different from most American company leaders. He owns the most shares in Microsoft and keeps his words true.

Instead of having to wait for the board of directors to nod and say something as pitiful as Jobs.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

Gates' parents, one is a barrister and the other is an executive of a large monopoly consortium. Both of them have high social status, so they can naturally avoid problems that only grassroots entrepreneurs will encounter.

The United States belongs to the elite group after all.

The elite and the civilian America are two worlds.

Even if a civilian touches the elite world through education, he owes at least tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans when he graduated.

He could only work constantly to repay the loan. When he paid it back, he was already middle-aged and liked the days of working constantly.

And Gates is obviously not like this.

It is not by chance that Microsoft can achieve what it is today under his leadership.

However, Microsoft is actually dissatisfied with Gates' behavior of fighting game consoles.

Anyone can see that there is almost no publisher with a second game console except Nintendo that can make money.

Even Sega just doesn't lose money, and the profits are made in the life cycle of one generation of game consoles for about six years.

This is also the reason why Sega America is unwilling to promote new hosts, because once it is implemented, it means that it will continue to start to make money.

In their opinion, instead of promoting new hosts, it is better to make current hosts earn more money and extend their lifespan.

However, although some inside Microsoft do not agree with Gates' strategy, Gates is the boss, so he still has the final say.

The design work of the murderer started under the guidance of the big boss himself.

However, designing a murder box is not an easy task.

Enough performance and low price to achieve the highest performance within a limited budget is a very challenging task.

In addition, Gates also gave several indicators, such as the storage medium must be a CD and the reading speed must be fast.

You should know that the optical drive needs memory to use as cache when reading the contents of the CD, and the memory price in this era is very high.

Even Nintendo, in order to control costs, admits that it will give up optical drives and continue to use cassettes with limited storage capacity.

Faced with the big boss's request, the design team of the evil box can only push back the time.

Moore's Law is used to reduce costs.
