Two hours after Mars Entertainment's e3 launch conference ended.

Videos of the demonstration videos about the "Times" project were also sent to senior executives of Sony and Sega.

Because it is in the United States, it is impossible to watch the entire Sony hardware R&D team together. However, Ken Kutaraki is a hardware-based company, and he also participated in the development of ps2 throughout the process. He knew exactly what kind of performance they had in Sony's next-generation hosts, so when he saw this demonstration video, he was immediately shocked.

Because, he knew that to complete this level of picture, it is impossible for their next generation of ps2 to do, unless it is the host of the next generation, which may be able to do it.

Immediately, Ken Kutaraki wanted to immediately stop the hardware development department from developing the next-generation host that is currently developing, and then do his best to develop the host with better performance. However, he drove this idea out of his mind after all. He quickly realized that such a picture is indeed not something that the next-generation host can handle.

It’s not that it can’t be done, but the cost is very high.

To be honest, performance is of course important for a home gaming console, but there is one more important than performance, that is universality.

To put it another way, it is cheap.

The most important thing is to make it affordable for most people. For example, the current price of a home console for a game is $200, which is not a big money. Even some students who have not yet earned money can save money for a while to buy it. In other words, the most important thing is to buy this thing easily.

Just like Microsoft competed with Sony later.

At the pre-e3 exhibition of that year, Ken Kutaraki announced the price of PS3 on the platform. When Peter Moore heard that the price was as high as more than 500 US dollars, he even jumped excitedly.

Price is crucial in the competition for hosts in the next era.

So, Ken Kutaraki quickly thought of this. It is indeed possible to achieve such a host, but the problem is that the cost is too high.

The price of a game console. In Ken Kutaraki's opinion, the price of the next generation is definitely a little higher than that of this generation.

But it won't be much higher, probably more than the price of 50 to 100 dollars in this generation.

The improvement of this generation is actually not too big compared to the eight-bit computer era. The cost of electronic components is extremely low, so all parties can maintain it to 200 US dollars. If all costs are included, it may be a slight loss at the beginning, but with the increase in production, even at the price of 200 US dollars, you can make money now.

Game platform companies do not make money by hardware, except Nintendo.

Even Jester doesn’t make money by hardware. At most, they make money by maintaining balance. They rely on the platform’s premium.

Of course, Jester has a share of more than 60%, and the premium he received is a very large amount. It is probably one-third of the price of the game. Although the premium is very high, you should know that when Nintendo first started to implement the premium system, it had to charge two-thirds of the premium from the producer. Now the premium has been greatly reduced.

"The next generation of Mars Entertainment's hosts will definitely not be able to perform so well."

After all, he is a hardware-based student. Ken Kutaraki made his judgment just after thinking for a moment. He also said to himself: "Unless Jester intends to increase the price of the next-generation console to $600!"

After saying that, even a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"This should be a trick that Jester prepared, but if Jester really costs $600 to sell a game console, it would be a real way to die."

"So, this demonstration screen is simply impossible to complete!"

Like Sony, Sega's side was also surprised and shocked, and quickly figured it out that the cost of making a game console that can handle this level of picture is too high, and it will cost at least $600. However, there are basically not many people who will buy a game console of this price. According to Jester, it is impossible for him to do this way of killing.

Of course, this incident also caused trouble in Sega's side.

Because although the outside world is not clear, the senior executives in Sega know that their new host finally decided to use 2d image processing as an assist, while 3d processing is a compromise.

This has caused a lot of discussion within Sega, because a hot topic of debate in the industry is whether 3D games can replace 2D games in the next era and become the center of the game world. Those who support this view and those who do not support this view are also the same in the industry, and the same is true within Sega.

Therefore, there are also many debates within Sega about the development of next-generation hosts.

It is impossible for Sega to not understand the potential of 3D games.

Because the first one to use 3D effects on arcades was Sega, and even they were not inferior to Mars Entertainment in the development of 3D games. In arcades, they even surpassed Mars Entertainment.

However, in the eyes of many people at Sega, 3D games do have great potential, but the 3D pictures at the beginning must be very rough. However, the next generation of consoles can handle 2D pictures to the extreme. This is something that 3D pictures can't be done in the next generation. Therefore, after internal discussion, Sega Saturn's development plan was decided.

Therefore, when Sega's senior management saw that the 3D game screen could be so exquisite, they were shocked.

If the 3D picture of the next generation can achieve this level.

So, what competitiveness is their Saturn?

However, soon, they also figured out the key to this matter, that is, Mars Entertainment could not produce a game console that costs $600, and it would be even more impossible to sell a console that costs $300, which costs $600. Therefore, such a picture was completely done by Jester purely to shock the industry and deliberately.

His game could have achieved such a picture when it was released.

But it must be the level of a rough 3D picture.

This is also a conclusion made by Sega's hardware engineers after analyzing the video recording, which also made Sega's people completely relieved. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
