Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 705: Nintendo starts to panic

On August [-]rd, Chen Jianghai received a long-distance call from the island country.

This is the call from Liu Jianming.

"Mr. Chen, we have something going on here."

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Jianming's somewhat anxious voice rang out.

Chen Jianghai asked calmly: "What happened? Tell me."

Later, Liu Jianming reported on the current situation of the island country in detail.

To sum it up in one sentence, Qiuhai PS game console has met its opponent.

And this opponent is the famous super game manufacturer in the past: Nintendo.

Originally, at this time, the dominant player in the gaming industry was Nintendo's Famicom.

With the early birth of the Qiuhai PS game console, Nintendo's position as the leader of game consoles has been severely impacted.

As time goes by, this crisis has become more and more obvious, and Nintendo is about to fall from its throne.

In such a situation, Nintendo cannot help but feel nervous.

At the beginning, they did not pay too much attention to the rise of Qiuhai PS game console.

Especially when Nintendo knew that Qiuhai was a Chinese company, they sneered at it.

In Nintendo's own words, China is a place where it is impossible to make excellent games.

Now, Nintendo finally understands how stupid their original idea was.

Especially the release of "Nordic Goddess" was a slap in the face to Nintendo.

However, even at this point, Nintendo still hasn't taken Qiu Hai seriously as a rival.

Arrogance, this is Nintendo's tradition.

Since the beginning of August, Nintendo has also taken a series of measures to suppress the development of PS game consoles.

The first way is that Nintendo has opened the mode of downloading games online.

As long as you are a Nintendo user, you can take a USB flash drive to a Nintendo store to download games.

In this way, the cost of purchasing games will be greatly reduced, which is equivalent to a disguised price reduction.

Regarding this point, Chen Jianghai was not anxious at all.

If Nintendo's method had been used later, it might have had some effect.

But in this era when the Internet is not yet developed, it seems a bit too advanced.

Putting aside everything else, Internet speed alone is a big problem.

Something worth more than ten megabytes could have been downloaded in a few seconds in a previous life.

But in this day and age, it takes at least half an hour to start.

You know, it's not just one person who downloads the game.

With so many people queuing up, we can't receive many customers in a day.

As for the second point, Nintendo restricts game enthusiasts and game companies.

Many Famicom games on the market today are actually not developed by Nintendo itself.

Nintendo has made their gaming platform an open model.

Even ordinary game enthusiasts can use this platform to create a game of their own.

In order to deal with Qiu Hai, Nintendo came up with a cool idea.

Now anyone who uses the Nintendo platform must sign an agreement and cannot transfer these games to other platforms.

In fact, Qiuhai PS game console does not currently have an open platform, and Nintendo just wants to block Qiuhai's road in advance.

After Liu Jianming reported the situation to Chen Jianghai, he said nothing more.

Liu Jianming knew very little about game consoles.

Chen Jianghai also knew that it was a bit difficult for him to come up with a reason.

Not to mention any constructive suggestions.

"Ask your subordinates to open the platform of our PS game console to everyone." Chen Jianghai gave the first order without hesitation.

Liu Jianming said hesitantly: "Mr. Chen, is this really useful? You know that Nintendo has given a death order now. I'm afraid no one will violate its agreement."

"You don't have to worry about this. Our conditions are far better than Nintendo. They know how to choose." Chen Jianghai said with a smile.

He seemed very confident about this.

Nintendo has opened up its own platform, but the cost of using this platform is not small.

The first is the production of cassettes.

Regardless of whether the developer has the ability to produce cartridges, they must be produced through Nintendo.

At the same time, the minimum order quantity of cassettes is [-] boxes, and even one less box will not suffice.

Do you think this is the end?
That's really underestimating Nintendo.

Games produced by developers must be sent to Nintendo for review in advance.

After the review is completed, Nintendo will receive half of the intellectual property rights.

Finally, Nintendo’s agents also have the right to decide the release cycle of the product.

At this time, Nintendo was called a tyrant by those in the industry.

Faced with the tyranny of a tyrant, those who have the ability to resist do not.

After all, Nintendo was the dominant player at the time and had no competitors on the market.

Both players and agents have no choice at all.

This is why Nintendo is so domineering.

There is really no one who can fight, so they should be arrogant and they should be crazy.

What Chen Jianghai has to do now is to snatch these developers away from Nintendo.

After all, no matter how fun a game console is, if it doesn’t have enough types of games to support it, not many people will play it.

Chen Jianghai told Liu Jianming that an announcement would be issued tomorrow, mainly about the opening of the game platform.

The first is that Qiu Hai is only responsible for reviewing games and producing CDs, and does not care about other things.

At the same time, Qiuhai does not need the intellectual property rights of the game, nor does it limit the release cycle of the game.

Not only that, Qiu Hai will also contribute his own channels to help game manufacturers sell games.

Another important point is that Qiuhai and Nintendo game carriers are different.

Nintendo still uses cassette games, while Qiuhai uses discs.

Comparing optical discs to cassettes, they have many advantages, including speed and low cost, which are beyond the reach of cassettes.

Liu Jianming took a small notebook and carefully wrote down all Chen Jianghai's suggestions, fearing that he might miss something.

"Old Liu, do you remember everything I just said?" Chen Jianghai also knew that Liu Jianming had the habit of taking notes and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Jianghai also attached great importance to this attack on Nintendo.

Liu Jianming hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, I have written it all down. There is no problem."

Chen Jianghai is still very satisfied with Liu Jianming.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that he can do this in an island country is enough to prove his ability.

The next day, Liu Jianming issued such a notice in accordance with Chen Jianghai's request.

As the most popular game console now, the announcement released by Qiuhai was quickly known by most game developers.

It can only be said that the island country has been suffering for a long time.

Many game companies joined the PS game platform that day.

On the second day, more people joined.

At this point, Nintendo was not aware of the problem.

After all, those who joined Qiuhai were only some small game companies and freelance developers, and there was no threat at all.

But in the next few days, Nintendo finally felt a huge crisis and began to panic.
