Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"Sit anywhere." After greeted Jemina, Tang Huan casually introduced: "This is the second-generation Xiaobawang game console, which was developed together with the second-generation Fangyuan computer model, but due to cost, heat generation, radiation, and maturity The new generation of Xiaobawang game consoles are becoming popular in the market and other factors. They are not eager to launch, but have been repeatedly adjusted and optimized for a long time. You can see how it performs."

Jermain was an expert-level technical expert, and he immediately judged that the second-generation Xiaobawang game console in front of him was not just as simple as an upgrade.

Moreover, the design of this running "Major League Baseball" game is also eye-catching. It is almost completely certain. The picture uses 64-bit color and the sound supports a stereo system. Just by watching, you will be shown yourself. The effect is tickling.

"This is a game console that can divide the product era." Jermain took a deep breath and solemnly commented.

"This is how I positioned the second-generation Xiaobawang game console. It will lead the home video game console into the 16-bit era, or the third generation." Tang Huan smiled slightly and put down the handle.

"Although Mattel also uses a 16-bit cpu, it can't be compared with the second-generation Cassidy game console at all." Jermina picked up the handle and experienced it for a while and nodded deeply.

"There are many factors that determine the performance of home video game consoles, and it is not just a 16-bit microprocessor that can be the final word."

Tang Huan looked at Jermaine with an appreciative expression, "Among the second-generation home video game consoles, the hardware configuration of the Atari 2600 can be said to be the weakest. The video module you are responsible for designing is only equipped with 128 characters. It has a low-capacity memory, but its game performance is still very good, winning the market success."

"There is no way. The memory price was too expensive at the time. If the current price-friendly price can be expected, it will not be spent so much to pursue the ultimate."

Gemina gave a wry smile. I tentatively asked, "Since the research and development of the second-generation Xiaobawang game console has been completed, there is no need for the existence of the project, right?"

"Of course not. You don't have to worry about the future of the project. I am quite sure of its value."

Tang Huan waved his hand. I gave Jermaine a reassurance, "It's just that my technical positioning of the project is a multimedia personal computer, not just limited to home video game consoles. And you should also know that the current situation of the North American home video game console market It is not optimistic. If the project is still attached to this goal, it is tantamount to seeking a dead end."

Seeing that Tang Huan had no intention of cutting off his efforts with a single knife, Jermain was relieved, so he had some leisure time, and asked in passing, "The second-generation Xiaobawang game console..."

"The second-generation Xiaobawang game console will not be released in the first round of the North American market." After Tang Huan answered with a confident heart, he picked up the remote control on the coffee table and clicked on it. Amidst Jemina's surprised gaze, another A TV connected to a video recorder flashed. Start playing a Japanese advertisement.

Although Gemina couldn't understand the whole content, he also understood the seven or eighty-eight, nothing more than exaggerating the superior characteristics of the second-generation Cassidy game console. To be honest, his industry expert is also tempted to buy one.

"According to reliable sources, several video game console factories in Silicon Valley are planning to lay off large-scale employees."

Tang Huan slowly explained: “It can be seen from this that the current market depression will inevitably hit the North American home video game console industry severely, and the global video game center will inevitably move to Japan in Asia. You must know The economic environment there is in a golden age, which is just enough to support this world-wide entertainment industry. Therefore, the second-generation Xiaobawang game console has chosen to be released globally in Japan."

"In that case, this industry is about to start shuffling again." Jermain nodded clearly. I am very emotional, "Finally it is the turn of Atari 2600 to step down the stage of history, or the entire 8-bit home video game console will have to say goodbye to the market."

"That's not necessarily true. Except for the North American market, there are still 8-bit home video game consoles in other parts of the world. At least the generation of Xiaobawang game consoles will exist for a long time."

Tang Huan raised his finger and clicked. "The release price of the second-generation Xiaobawang console is 399 US dollars, while the current market price of the first-generation Xiaobawang console is 199 US dollars. This price layout is quite complementary."

Jermain said in deep thought: "The first generation of Cassidy game consoles, like the Atari 2600, has a very difficult technical problem, that is, the inability to control unauthorized use. If it cannot be effectively solved, then the North American home TV game consoles The chaos in the market may repeat itself."

"You really see the key point." Tang Huan has a feeling of meeting a confidant. "The second-generation Xiaobawang game opportunity solves this problem from both software and hardware."

Tang Huan raised a finger and continued: "ea will create a royalty system to conduct registration management and product review of game developers. Any game works with quality problems will not be able to board the second-generation Xiaobawang game console. In the early stages of the implementation of this plan, ea will also encourage people in the industry to set up satellite companies and cooperative companies to develop excellent games in a model similar to Hollywood film companies and producers. Now the market is so bad, I I believe many people do not have too many choices."

"These non-technical strategic layouts and market operations require the mobilization of a lot of resources, which are much more complicated than just adding a certified chip to the hardware." Gemina sighed with emotion. "It is estimated that video games The era of small workshops in the gaming industry is also coming to an end. The best way for practitioners is to rely on influential hardware platforms to develop game software."

"It seems that you have been thinking deeply about the project. The second-generation Xiaobawang game console will indeed add authentication chips to control the hardware level of developers and users." Tang Huan laughed loudly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's a pity My project was born out of time. "Jermain mourned secretly.

In order to get rid of this untimely negative sentiment, he hurriedly asked: "What about that generation of Xiaobawang game consoles? If such forced hardware chip certification is also carried out, the huge number of game cassettes on the market and in the hands of users will be scrapped. ."

"You can't be so greedy, otherwise, it will only push customers into the arms of others, that would be stupid."

Tang Huan shook his head, "The first generation of Xiaobawang game will launch a 1983 version or a 1984 version, which will manage the certification and management of new games and new game cassettes. As for the previous products, they can only be left alone. I believe that as the market advances, they will be Replace slowly."

"Since the second-generation Xiaobawang game console is so mature, there is really no need for the project to continue thrashing in the field of video games."

The convincing Geminer shrugged and looked very open, "I don't know whether the project can meet the requirements of the company's multimedia PC strategy." (To be continued.)
