Chapter 182

In Nintendo's huge conference room, Hiroshi Yamauchi was not in good spirits and his voice was a little hoarse.

"How is it going?"

The secretary hurriedly took out the documents and said while flipping through them.

"GB sales have dropped to less than 20,000 units per day, and 920,000 units have been recycled."

Hearing this figure, Hiroshi Yamauchi closed his eyes in pain. GB's R&D expenses plus production expenses and other expenses totaled 1.6 billion US dollars!

Defeated, defeated completely.

"Dear directors..."

Everyone here did not dare to say anything. Everyone could see how angry Hiroshi Yamauchi was now.

"end..."

Hiroshi Yamauchi really doesn’t want to say this, not because he doesn’t want to give up on the handheld market, but because he feels sorry for these billions of dollars! It’s only in the past few years that Nintendo has become rich. At the beginning, Nintendo’s annual profit was only

Only $100 million!

With over 10 billion US dollars, Nintendo can afford to lose, but Nintendo cannot fail, but... this is 1 billion US dollars! How many FC units and how many games do we need to sell to make money back?

Heartbroken... He subconsciously covered his chest, but he soon realized that this was a meeting of Nintendo's top management, and he couldn't show weakness or cowardice.

"It was announced that GB's follow-up models will be put on hold indefinitely, and GB's prices will be reduced to..."

"$30."

After these words were spoken, the Nintendo executives present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Yamauchi Hirohito would say that if he improved the GB, he would lose the handheld console market. Home consoles are the foundation of Nintendo.

"Super Mario, $10."

"Baseball, $8."

"..."

Now that we have completely decided to give up GB, there is no need to keep the matching game cartridges, just sell them for what they are.

"Go ahead and announce it to the public. One minute earlier, you can sell one more GB and one more game."

"yes."

After the secretary finished speaking, he looked at Hiroshi Yamauchi worriedly.

"President, would you like to take a rest?"

Yamauchi Hiroshi waved his hand at him, indicating that it was not necessary.

"It's been three days since we put aside the GB thing. You guys should have some ideas about Nintendo's follow-up consoles, right? Let's talk about it..."

"President, I think..."

No one dared to ignore Hiroshi Yamauchi's words, and soon, the news of GB's diving price spread throughout the world.

"Nintendo has thrown in the towel."

After Okamura Hideki heard the news, he immediately summoned Nakamura Masaya and others.

"Is this the first real failure of Hiroshi Yamauchi?"

"Yes, Super Mario Battle defeated Super Mario with the advantage of the times. After all, the two games are several years apart. Might and Magic only had a temporary advantage due to its limited MD platform. The sales of Super Mario 3 have already been crushed.

Pressure the magic door."

Yasuhiro Fukushima disagrees with this statement.

"Everyone, the games you later developed did not surpass Super Mario. The failure of Might and Magic had nothing to do with Liu Jun. No, Liu Jun did not fail at all. It was Sega that failed. Admit it and admit Liu Jun's genius."

Miyamoto Masashi sighed.

"Yes, admit it, although we are not optimistic about the future of handheld consoles, 25 million units of Pokémon have been sold out in just 5 days. Now it is completely hard to find one. A Pokémon has been sold for US$300.

, no matter whether the palm will fail in the future, but now, the Han Dynasty is making a lot of money."

Nakamura Masaya nodded.

"That's right, not only did the Han Dynasty make a lot of money, we also made a lot of money. If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty didn't have its own home console, I wouldn't have hesitated at all. That bastard Ben Xianzo is so proud now."

Okamura Hideki listened to them discussing how much they each made, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became. In fact, when it came to profit, he made the most. Contra and Salamander were too suitable for elves, except that the screen turned into

It was changed to black and white, with almost no deletions, but...

Nakamura Masaya and the others only paid 10% of the profit share to the Han Dynasty, while he paid 30%! This was such a huge sum of money, and he felt heartbroken when he thought about it.

"Everyone, now is not the time to praise the elf. The matter of Hiroshi Yamauchi bowing his head and admitting defeat is what we should focus on."

After hearing Okamura Hideki's words, the cheerful atmosphere in the conference room began to disappear.

"I don't know if the new contract will be corrected. The previous one was not called a contract, it was a contract of sale."

Nakamura Masaya was a little worried. Hiroshi Yamauchi had given up to Liu Zhiyuan, but would he bow to them? They really didn't dare to ask for too much. A contract with a 30% profit share and no other fees was enough.

"Hmph, if Yamauchi Pu still insists on having his own way, then I will go directly to the Han Dynasty."

"Stop being so angry, President Fukushima."

Masaya Nakamura looked at Yasuhiro Fukushima with a wry smile.

"What can you do with the Han Dynasty? The future of handheld consoles is still unclear, and Liu Jun does not have his own home console. His Han Dynasty can rely on pocket flexibility to be very flexible, but your Enix... may not be sure

.”

How could Yasuhiro Fukushima not understand this truth? After all, Elf is a game console tailor-made for Pokemon. When players no longer agree with the performance capabilities of handheld consoles, except for Pokemon, the end of their games will come.

"Anyway, Enix will not accept Hiroshi Yamauchi's share of the contract. The Enix family has a small business and cannot survive for a few years. If there is really no choice, I would rather follow Honkenzo's example and take a gamble.

Dynasty’s future home consoles will be successful!”

Hideki Okamura did not hesitate to start attacking Yasuhiro Fukushima.

"Ben Kenzo has lost the console market, but he still has the arcade market. With Capcom's arcade technology and Liu Jun's creativity, that bastard Ben Kenzo can still live very comfortably. What about you? What does your Enix have?

?Without the home console, your Enix is ​​worthless."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the others quickly stopped them.

"Okay, let's skip this topic. We understand what President Okamura means. Don't worry, we will definitely unite in times like this, right, President Fukushima?"

Yasuhiro Fukushima snorted and said nothing, but he did not refute Miyamoto Masashi's words.

Seeing that everyone had decided to unite to fight against Hiroshi Yamauchi, Okamura Hideki's face became a little better.

"Next, I'm going to meet with Hayao Nakayama from Sega. I have to put pressure on Ashura Uchihira, and you guys have to come too! This is about our future life and death. I hope you can put aside your past grudges and work together."

"good."

"Then please trouble President Okamura to take more trouble."

"Notify us as soon as there is news. If Sega's conditions are better than Nintendo's, it's not impossible for us to join Sega."

"..."
