Chapter 394 Expected Development
People are naturally attached to stability. It was like this before, and they still want it this way now.
This is a very normal idea.
Even the president of a multinational company would think so.
Although it is normal to have gains and losses in business,
it does not prevent the president of Peria from cursing and being angry...
Because before this.
He always felt that the only opponent of Peria in this shopping season was Hardcore.
And Hardcore had a similar idea.
As for Reflecta, they were still worried before the release of their console. In the end, Reflecta's various unethical practices did cause them some trouble.
But that was all.
Later, Reflecta showed signs of fatigue.
The president of Peria did not think they were an opponent.
So during the shopping season, he still followed the process of previous years and only did regular publicity.
But at this time.
Reflecta, which Peria and Hardcore had always ignored, suddenly became powerful...
Just relying on a game company brought in by a press conference, it instantly attracted countless attention.
If it was just like this, it would be fine.
But then.
On Black Friday, they started large-scale publicity as if they were possessed. They
looked like they didn't care about money or losing all their money.
With such a large-scale promotion and the excellent quality of the games they brought in, Peria's president didn't dare to take it lightly, and didn't want to have another competitor, so he could only increase the stakes, hoping to crush Reflecta.
But Reflecta's large-scale promotion had two new games as a base...
and Peria didn't prepare any new games specifically for this year's shopping season.
Because they didn't need it at all.
They just needed to give a discount, and then rely on the existing game lineup, plus the big games that several European and American manufacturers launched on multiple platforms every
year, which was enough to sell the console. They were like this in previous years, and it has always been like this. As for how much the two companies sold... it depends on their own ability, depending on the operation of the two companies
on the console.
Anyway, consumers can only choose between the two companies. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two major console manufacturers Peria and Hardcore. But this year, Reflecta completely broke this tacit understanding. What made Peria's president even more angry was that their crazy dog-like promotion really worked. The doubts about the two games that Peria had fueled and provoked were instantly shattered as Linmu Studio released a new promotional video. Even their games outperformed the blockbuster games of overseas manufacturers at the same time. The blockbuster games of overseas manufacturers at the same time were outperformed. This made Peria's console not as attractive as Reflecta during this period. It just so happened that this was the time when many European and American players bought consoles, and Reflecta was still selling its consoles at a crazy discount... The final result was this. Peria increased its publicity and spent money, but it didn't suppress Reflecta at all. Their console still took a big bite of the cake during this shopping season... They spent money and got a strong competitor. It was really a loss of both the wife and the army. The problem is that Peria can't just ignore it now, otherwise Reflecta's console will sell more, which is even worse. An opponent who was doomed to fail suddenly jumped out. Not only did it destroy the tacit understanding, but it also dragged itself into the quagmire. Who wouldn't be angry! "Reflecta has no noteworthy games? You call this no noteworthy games!? You swore to me before that they were making consoles and kept saying that the news was accurate. Is this accurate!?" Peria President Mikio Kawabe sat behind his desk and yelled at the head of the marketing department who was standing respectfully in front of him: "What about their two current games, Battlefield and Tomb Raider? They are not noteworthy. Is this accurate!?" The head of the marketing department stood with his hands behind his back, bent down and lowered his head, feeling bitter. Linmu Studio is going to make consoles. All signs show that they are really making consoles! Why are their games landing on Reflecta's consoles? He couldn't figure it out either! The head of the marketing department was very unwilling and wanted to defend himself, but he knew that anything he said at this moment would be pale, so he could only bend down again and bow 90 degrees: "I am very sorry." "What's the use of apologizing!" Mikio Kawabe slapped the table hard, and his voice suddenly rose: "Solution! Solution! I need a solution." After saying that. He seemed to be so angry that he picked up the folder on the table and smashed it. The head of the marketing department didn't dare to hide, and had to accept it. Then he raised his head slightly and responded: "Since Linmu Studio is no longer making consoles, we can also come to them to seek cooperation..." "Do you think I can't think of it?" Speaking of this, Kawabe Mikio became even more angry: "The other party directly rejected us, without any room for maneuver. The other party has been in cahoots with Reflecta for a long time. Is this your way? You don't know this now?" The head of the marketing department opened his mouth, but could not say anything. "出て行け (Get out)!" Kawabe Mikio picked up a folder again and threw it over.
The head of the marketing department was silent for a moment, bowed again, and turned away in despair.
He knew.
His future was over...
After this incident, he would be transferred to a small place in Southeast Asia to waste his time...
He didn't dare to resign.
Japanese companies value loyalty the most, and finding a job after leaving is as difficult as hell.
But... why did it become like this?
According to the information collected, Linmu Studio is really making consoles, it is absolutely true.
But why did their game land on Reflecta's console?
The head of the marketing department couldn't figure it out. He
couldn't figure it out at all.
On the other side.
Kawabe Mikio drove away his subordinates, took a deep breath, and barely calmed down.
He was very annoyed.
Because Peria wouldn't be like this. If he knew that Reflecta would release a work like "Battlefield" on Christmas Eve, he would definitely find a way to deal with it, and Peria would also be able to deal with it.
But everything happened too quickly, and there was no sign.
He expected that Reflecta might do something weird, so he paid special attention to it, but he missed Linmu Studio.
Because according to the news, they are making consoles!
Since they are making consoles themselves, who would have thought that they would allow their games to land on other consoles? Even the helmsman of any company would not do this, right?
It is this preconceived idea.
Peria is now extremely passive...
Reflecta is gaining momentum, and Peria has no preparation. Spending a lot of money to intercept it is completely killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 of its own.
But he can't not do it.
He can't just watch Reflecta become the third opponent, right?
So Kawabe Mikio is really annoyed.
He now wants to kill the head of the marketing department.
Who said they make consoles?
But...
Although he is annoyed.
But in addition to being annoyed, Kawabe Mikio actually... has a little bit of luck.
Although the two new games of Linmu Studio have caused a lot of trouble, fortunately, they and Reflecta are not a family.
This means that they can never be of one mind.
If... Linmu Studio really makes its own console, it will be even more troublesome.
Just thinking about Linmu Studio making consoles and then continuously producing games like "Battlefield" for consoles, Kawabe Mikio shudders.
Such an opponent is really terrible.
Fortunately.
They gave up.
This can be considered as a blessing and a curse.
At least there is no strong opponent like Linmu Studio anymore.
"..."
Thinking of this, Kan'ichi Kawabe leaned back on the chair, then rubbed his brows with his hand and shook his head gently.
Blessings and curses go hand in hand, blessing and curses go hand in hand.
Who wants disaster!
It would be even better if Linmu Studio's game failed this time.
For example... after the release, there were a lot of bad reviews, then the Reflecta console would not only fail to become popular, but also be abused by players.
That would be a great thing!
Kan'ichi Kawabe put his hand down, then breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look
forward to it, hoping that Linmu Studio's new game would fail, preferably the kind that would have a bad reputation. But his expectations are expectations.
Can things really develop as he expected?
Is Linmu Studio really not going to make consoles?
Will the new game really... fail?
