Chapter 183 Swallow Him. Third Update
This is scary.
I am afraid that I will ask for so much and demand so much share, and I am afraid that I will choose to intervene in Sega's management at this time.
This president is really cautious.
But Zuo Zhen really doesn’t particularly care about the Sega platform.
There will be a better platform waiting for you in the future.
Sony is one of them.
By that time, even if Sega begged him to let him intervene in management, Zuo Zhen had no interest.
Needless to say now.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in managing an old Japanese company, but I am very interested in emerging companies. How do you know about Square Enix?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. Their new game is about to be released. It seems to be competing with Zuo Zhen-san's role-playing game. But I think their game is selling well, and the plot content is similar to the traditional prince and princess story. If it’s different, will there be a threat?”
Zuo Zhen said: "It's hard to say yet, let's wait and see first."
Zuo Zhen really wanted to say that he wanted to acquire this company now.
He is still very greedy for the Final Fantasy IP series.
If the timing of his time traveling hadn't been right, if he could have traveled to this world earlier, he would have released the Final Fantasy series in advance to take advantage of it.
But now, all we can do is find a way to acquire it.
"Please help me pay more attention to this company and see how they are doing."
Gao Cunxiong heard the meaning of Zuo Zhen's words: "Zuo Zhen-san, are you planning to acquire this company?"
"I have this idea."
It seems that Zuo Zhen is very confident in his role-playing game.
Gao Cunxiong couldn't help but look forward to it.
He is looking forward to what will come after the role-playing game is released.
If nothing else, Juggernaut should be Zuo Zhen’s last work for the eight-bit machine.
I am afraid that subsequent works will be released on new platforms.
Then you need to cherish this opportunity.
Take advantage of this game.
He had played it before and found that it was indeed very different from Dragon Quest and The Legend of Zelda.
The core is similar, but the gameplay is quite different.
He also got excited while playing.
But it's useless, it still needs feedback from players.
Recently, they have been promoting this game frequently at home and abroad.
Especially in Europe's own main battlefield.
Sega's vigorous publicity was an attempt to cover up NGS's offensive.
"Then let me help Zuo Zhen-san pay more attention to this company. If there is any trouble, I will notify you in advance."
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zuo Zhen said sincerely.
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Takamura Xiong said quickly.
…
At the same time, in an office building in Japan, the lights are still brightly lit even at night.
Here is a new game company called Square Enix.
The latest work they are preparing to release recently is the Final Fantasy series.
Their expected release date is mid-December.
It was Christmas Eve, and players would be more willing to spend at that time.
And there should be no competitors at that time.
"Ishii, this time we are making a desperate move. If we don't succeed, we will succeed. As long as we succeed, the future of our company will be infinitely bright."
"Don't worry, the works I've made are absolutely outstanding! I'm sure of the quality of my games. After all, I have innovated a lot of content. Moreover, now is a short window period for role-playing games. We have a bright future. There’s light!”
Ishii is the developer of the Final Fantasy series.
When he proposed this proposal, it was recognized by many people, and then their company invested the final funds to prepare for a big gamble.
If they failed, they decided to disband on the spot.
Everyone goes back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
But one person said with some worry: "But, I heard that a very popular role-playing game is about to be released soon."
"I know, heavy-duty mechas, right? This setting has to be said to be quite interesting." Ishii answered casually, but didn't care much.
"If this game was released on NGS, it would still be quite a threat to us, but they chose the Sega platform. Hey, how many players can this platform have? We don't have to worry at all."
When the others heard this, they all smiled: "That's right. You really don't need to worry too much."
So far, NGS's game console sales have reached 30 million, selling well both at home and abroad.
Sega's sales at home and abroad are around 8 million.
It sounds like a lot.
But there is one thing that is very special.
Nowadays, whenever people think of game consoles, there is only one thing that comes to mind: NGS.
Game consoles are basically equivalent to NGS.
Even among those who bought a Sega console, most criticized it for not having many games.
And there is also a set of data that can prove the gap between the two sides.
On NGS, the number of game cartridges sold has reached 130 million boxes.
As for Sega.
Only 20 million.
Only one-sixth or seventh of NGS.
Just 20 million, of which 3 million has just increased in the past six months.
So no one thinks that such a game console platform can have much development.
"It's a pity that we don't have enough publicity funds, otherwise we can increase some advantages."
"That's enough, that's enough. The quality of our role-playing game itself is very good, even if it doesn't need publicity, it's enough."
Ishii said confidently again.
One person was thinking: It seems that Ishii does not understand the importance of publicity. He just hopes that Ishii's guess is correct.
What their team needs to do now is to cooperate with Ishii's development as much as possible.
Then finish the game.
The rest will depend on the final result.
Final Fantasy.
This term also implies a bit of gambling.
Their company's current business situation is not very good, but fortunately there are a few people who can make good games, so the company can barely survive.
However, Ishii also said that if the final result of this game is not good, at worst, he will go back to school.
In fact, there is still a way out, so even if you fail, you don't particularly care.
But they seemed to underestimate Sega's determination to rise.
As Zuozhen's last game on an eight-bit console, Sega invested more money to help promote it.
Even the income expected to be obtained from the heavily equipped mechs in the future has been invested in advance.
Even if you don't make a penny, you still have to build up your reputation.
At one time, there were video game stores, shopping malls, televisions, and subways.
Everywhere you look there is at least one location for a heavy trooper.
Invest at least a million dollars, and a million dollars for this era.
