The growth rate of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" is too rapid. Anyone with eyes can see that this home game console is about to become a hit.
Moreover, almost every one of the 20 games developed by Wujiang Group itself has become a huge hit, with astonishing sales, which is a bit frightening.
Wujiang Group's game design capabilities are simply phenomenal, even surpassing Nintendo's.
It's worth noting that Nintendo only has a few wildly popular games; the rest are just average. The other wildly popular games are all from third-party developers.
Unlike Wujiang Group, whose products are all wildly popular.
Many wealthy gamers who bought the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" purchased all 20 games at once, since they wanted to play them all, so they might as well buy them all.
In just two days, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" has already shown its dominance in the Japanese home game console market!
The advertising effect is still unfolding, and word-of-mouth continues to spread.
Nintendo's FC is facing its biggest challenge ever.
At this moment, the arrogant Hiroshi Yamauchi finally became a little nervous.
In front of him was a "Qiongqi Home Game Console" and 20 game cartridges.
From 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., Hiroshi Yamauchi personally tried out these games.
Exhausted, his expression grew increasingly somber.
"Nintendo is in crisis..." he murmured, feeling a chill run down his spine and a coldness creeping into his heart.
The next day.
Hiroshi Yamauchi called a meeting with the senior executives to discuss countermeasures.
"The 'Qiongqi Home Game Console' is making a strong comeback, aggressively seizing market share from the FC game market. How should we respond?" Hiroshi Yamauchi asked worriedly.
After a moment of silence, Yokoi Gunpei spoke up: "President, I took apart the 'Qiongqi Home Game Console' and studied it. I found that their game motherboard design is very ingenious. Its performance is indeed stronger than our FC, but the difference is limited and does not affect the overall situation."
He paused, then added, "The main problem lies with their game cartridges. Wujiang Group's game cartridges have an extra special chip called MMC compared to ours! According to my research, this MMC chip mainly enhances the game graphics, which is why the game graphics on the 'Qiongqi Home Game Console' platform far surpass those on the FC!"
Hiroshi Yamauchi never imagined that a game cartridge could contain such a hidden secret.
"No wonder the graphics on the 'Qiongqi Home Game Console' are so good! Turns out they developed a chip to enhance the game's visuals. Now that we've identified the problem, let's fix it right away!"
Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at Gunpei Yokoi and asked, "Gunpei Yokoi, are you confident that you can lead your team to design a chip with the same functionality within three months?"
This MMC is complex and advanced, clearly a very mature chip.
How could I design such a good chip in just three months?
Gunpei Yokoi could only smile wryly, but he knew Yamauchi Hiroshi's temper very well; if he said he couldn't complete it, the other party would definitely fly into a rage.
[Fine, I'll just have to work harder from now on, stay up late, and try my best to design the chip!]
So Gunpei Yokoi gritted his teeth and nodded, replying, "No problem!"
Upon hearing this, Hiroshi Yamauchi smiled with satisfaction, then his gaze swept across everyone's faces before he asked, "Do you have any other solutions?"
At this point, Shigeru Miyamoto said, "I suggest increasing investment in games and developing more fun new games!"
Wujiang Group independently developed 20 hit games, leaving Shigeru Miyamoto speechless.
Nintendo, on the other hand, has been relying on its past successes, developing very few new games throughout the year, with most of its titles being sequels.
While the sequel was popular and sold well, it stifled Nintendo's ability to innovate.
"Okay, then let's add another $200 million to the game development!"
"President, I think Nintendo should lift its unfair terms for third-party game developers. Otherwise, it will only push them towards Wujiang Group," someone suggested.
Upon hearing this, Hiroshi Yamauchi angrily retorted, "Remove the unfair terms imposed on third-party game developers? That's utter nonsense! Do you know how much damage removing these unfair terms will cause Nintendo? It's us, Nintendo, who made them successful. If they didn't release games on the FC platform, could they make so much money? We have tens of millions of FC users, while the 'Qiongqi Home Console' only has a few hundred thousand users. I believe that third-party game developers will make a wise choice!"
How can you spit out meat that's already in your mouth?
The unfair terms state that Nintendo will receive 50% of the copyright for any game released on the FC gaming platform.
Currently, the FC (Famicom) still holds an absolute advantage, with tens of millions of consoles competing against hundreds of thousands; the advantage lies with us!
How could Hiroshi Yamauchi be willing to give up such a huge piece of profit!
The person who made the suggestion was reprimanded by Hiroshi Yamauchi, his expression unpleasant, but inwardly he thought, "Honest advice is hard to swallow, but Nintendo's 'unfair terms' have already caused resentment among third-party game developers. Previously, no company could compete with Nintendo, so everyone could only sigh and accept it passively. But now, Wujiang's 'Qiongqi Home Console' is performing amazingly well and has huge potential, so many game developers are starting to have their eyes on it."
Take a gamble, and you might go from single to riding a motorcycle.
There are actually quite a few people with an adventurous spirit.
Currently, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" platform only has 20 games, which is a very small number.
If they were to port their games to the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" platform at this time, they would likely sell very well.
