The release did not stop due to lunch time, and "Pokemon" in the afternoon continued its strong momentum in the morning.

The same is true for gameboy. Although Jester made some wrong judgments about the capacity of the Japanese market before the release of the Christmas season, he did not make any mistakes in his judgment of the North American market. It is also a wise move to store a large amount of inventory in the United States. The sales figures on Christmas Day perfectly illustrate how worthwhile it all.

From the first sale to the first hour, when the sales figures were counted for the first time, Gameboy suppressed Sega's md console. By the time the morning ended, Gameboy's sales exceeded 20% of Sega's fifth generation, and in the afternoon, it continued this strength. It seemed that Sega also believed that it was difficult to compete with Gameboy in this regard, so it changed its sales strategy.

There is almost no suspense about "Pokemon". Almost all players who bought gameboy today bought a "Pokemon", and at least half of them even bought all the red and blue versions.

That night, when Mars Entertainment announced that the sales of "Pokemon" reached 1.99 million units on the first day, it shocked everyone. Gameboy's sales were fixed on 1.5 million units. From this, we can also see how incredible the number of 1.1 million units was released in Japan. After all, it only took 1.5 million units to cover such a large market in North America.

The sales of Sega Five-generation MD are also very good. After Mars Entertainment just announced their sales, they also announced it closely. The sales of MD home game consoles on Christmas Day in North America were 1.13 million units.

Although there is a certain gap between Gameboy's 1.5 million units, it is clear that Dreambox, which ranks third, has only 370,000 units, and Nes, which ranks fourth, has only 100,000 sales. The sales of Atari's new console 7200 and Japan Electric's PC-e are not even 100,000 units. This time, it is clear how much impact Sega and Mars Entertainment have had on the game market throughout the Christmas season.

"That's it."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Shinto Nakayama also touched his head, which had not been asleep for a day, and was dizzy. He is now older and his energy is no longer as good as in previous years. For example, when he was young, he did not sleep for three days and two nights, and he didn't feel anything at the front line of delivery. He even had a few drinks at the same time after work, but now he can't do it now, and he hasn't been able to sleep for a day. His body is a little overwhelmed.

He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put the report documents on the table and waited for him to read it. To be honest, he was personally very satisfied with the results of Sega Five Generation's Christmas season. Although it was a bit different from what he expected, it did not exceed the palm of the Mars Entertainment's palm machine in terms of sales. However, it was the first place in the field of home game consoles.

As for gameboy's problem, it was really beyond his previous expectations. He predicted that this small palm opportunity was very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

But don't take it lightly...

In my heart, I secretly reminded myself that Nakayama Shizuo knew that this time, the only way I could win in sales was to make a time difference. My total shipment of md is less than 5 million units, and Dreambox has shipped nearly 50 million units in the world in the past four years, which is completely incomparable data.

Even Nintendo, which has always been suppressed by Mars Entertainment, has more than 20 million units of sales of FC and Nes.

Moreover, most importantly, both companies have announced the release date of their 16th. The new generation console of Mars Entertainment is called dreambox2, which is scheduled to be officially released at the end of February. The new generation console jointly developed by Nintendo and Sony has changed from the original Super Nintendo to PS after a long debate between the two companies not long ago. The determination of this name should be a manifestation of Sony's complete dominance in the two alliances.

Moreover, they also announced that it will be officially released in Japan no later than March.

But the ellipsis...

At this time, Shinto Nakayama remembered the news he received recently, that is, Sony seems to have become dirty with Nintendo recently. The old fox Yamauchi expressed his dissatisfaction with Ken Kutaraki and the person in the Sony Nintendo League through more than just a way. The root of the dissatisfaction is that Sony is secretly acquiring some third-party development companies.

Although these development companies are not considered the first-line manufacturers of Mars Entertainment or Nintendo's predecessor alliance, they are all very thoughtful and have strong R&D capabilities, such as New Japan Project, a game company under the Mars Entertainment third-party alliance, which is highly valued by Mars Entertainment, has plans to be recruited by Sony, especially New Japan Project recently has serious debts in order to develop their nearest arcade substrates, and this debt is impossible for Mars Entertainment to help them.

However, Sony can do it.

Although Nakayama Hayao didn't know what Jester would feel when he heard the news, he probably wouldn't be happy. After all, when the New Japan project was weakest, it was because they joined the Mars Entertainment third-party development alliance that they could overcome the difficulties. Moreover, they also needed some technical support from Mars Entertainment in terms of game development.

This is also the reason why many game development companies are willing to join Mars Entertainment. Although most of these are Japanese companies, Mars Entertainment's share in the Japanese market is not as good as Nintendo, but the point where Mars Entertainment is stronger than Nintendo is that Mars Entertainment never cherishes itself. Only your project is excellent. When you encounter technical problems that you cannot solve, you can apply to Mars Entertainment. After Mars Entertainment makes an evaluation and review, if you agree, they will shoot aid teams to provide technical support.

Although games that have received technical support from Mars Entertainment will have to share the funds with Mars Entertainment again, the game companies that apply for support have also obtained the technology they did not have before.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

But Nintendo can't do this. They always cherish it themselves and never thought about sharing.

As for the spread of technology, Jester didn't care much. In fact, he even urgently hoped that the better the games produced by the third-party game companies under his command, the better, because he or Mars Entertainment was basically building a platform. They made games by themselves, which was just a vassal, just a means to ensure the competitiveness of their platform.

As he thought about it, Shinto Nakayama picked up the phone and dialed a number. It took more than a minute before someone answered the phone.

"If there is any news over there, tell me the first time." Shinto Nakayama just said to the receiver without thinking, and the other end of the phone didn't seem to want to say too much, but said quickly: "Don't worry, what is the final result? It's only been one or two days. It's been a few days. Yamauchi has been called nine times in a row, but looking at Yamauchi's face, it seems that the two sides have no intention of reaching an agreement."

Hearing the other party’s reply, Shikao Nakayama nodded and hung up the phone.

This person is an insider he arranged to be inside Nintendo.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is really very angry now. He is not angry with others, but is angry with Sony's betrayal. The basis for his promise to sign the agreement was because Sony promised that they would not participate in the game development. But what Sony is doing now is obviously betraying the conditions they agreed to at that time. For this matter, Hiroshi Yamauchi has met Ken Kin of Taraki nine times, and today is the tenth time.

Moreover, I have decided that this will be the last time. If I can't reach an agreement with Sony, then I won't talk and just turn the table up. To be honest, if it weren't for the tight time at that time, I wouldn't really care about this alliance. I would have been very unhappy if they were taking advantage of the situation and following my previous personality, I would have been very unhappy. I was now put on another story.

Just as Hiroshi Yamauchi was thinking about these messy things, a knock came from the door. Hiroshi Yamauchi immediately withdrew his previous thoughts, and the expression on his face also returned to the usual coldness, and said lightly, please come in.

The door was pushed open, Ken Kutaraki was not tall, and his short and fat figure stepped in immediately.

His face smiled, and from his expression, he seemed to be extremely respectful to Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Looking at the fat face in front of him, Hiroshi Yamauchi was a little helpless. To be honest, he admired Ken Kuroki very much. Since the two sides had just met, he felt that the person who was not good-looking in front of him would become a great man in the future. He even wanted to persuade the other party to join Nintendo more than once, but they all died in vain. Later, the actions of the middle-aged man who was not good-looking in front of him deepened Hiroshi Yamauchi's speculation. This is indeed a person who has made great achievements in the future.

"President Yamauchi."
