Chapter 129 Reversing black and white

However, for the moment, they are still in the same camp - no matter who is right or wrong, they want to continue to heat up this topic.

Since you want to heat up, you naturally need some attacking things to be used as seasonings.

So, Sean Jerome temporarily suppressed his thoughts, cleared his throat, and continued to ask: "So Mr. Li, you know that since you showed the emulator at the press conference, it has had a very bad impact on Nintendo's new products, especially among the group who are preparing to buy home game consoles. What I learned is that many people who have booked their game consoles in New York have gone to unsubscribe. Isn't this a loss to them?"

"hehe."

When Jester heard what Sean Jerome said, he first laughed disdainfully, and then said.

"Mr. Jerome, I did not add anything else subjectively in my previous demonstration. I just made a simple comparison to prove that FC is an outdated console, which is an objective reality. You are a famous reporter. I believe you also know that this model has been changed to its shape and name by Nintendo, and it has added a few unsincere peripherals. It is taken to our country as a new product to sell money-scammers and the one they released in Japan a year and a half ago. But even so, their North American head is still shamelessly devalued our new machines in the face of the media and many players. This is not only a fraud against players. It is also a naked provocation! I personally cannot tolerate it."

Jester's tone was filled with indignation, but the sophisticated Sean Jerome could still see a hint of pride in his eyes. Jester's answer continued.

"You know, I don't care about the statements of those who have stronger home computers. I think it's meaningless to compare these. A game company should focus on making fun games. Only when your games are good, players who like your games will buy your game console, because in my eyes, game consoles are just appendixes of games. Without games, they are just useless things. But I must not allow others to use an outdated product to mock the R&D team that has been fighting for our products for half a year. This is mocking us for being uninhabited in the United States!"

When Shawn Jerome heard what seemed passionate but insincere words from his heart, Shawn Jerome wanted to ask, have you made a draft before? Why do you say such black and white inverted words so utterly?

Then, Jester seemed to be talking, still feeling unsatisfied, without any intention of stopping, and his tone even brought a hint of worry.

"Mr. Jerome, I think the revival of electronic games is right in front of me. I believe you have heard of the influence that electronic games have reached. In the era of Atari's peak, every three Americans would have an Atari game console. More than 30% of Americans had played Atari games, and it can even be said that young people as old as me were the generations who grew up under Atari game consoles. Sometimes I would wake up in my dreams, and I was thinking. If a Japanese company counterattacked the United States in electronic games and did it as Atari did. Even surpass Atari, then will our younger generation grow up surrounded by games made by Japanese people? In the future, we will not only use Japanese cars, but also play Japanese games. Do we want to watch Japanese movies in the future? A group of people who grew up in the subtle influence of Japanese culture since childhood. To be honest, I think it's scary when I think about it."

"I think it's just Japan's manufacturing industry that is now occupying our market and taking away our profits. I don't worry about this, because I know that with our national strength, we will always regain what we have lost now, but what about culture? Cultural invasion is irreversible and the matter of a generation. In my opinion, it is something that worries us more than the Soviet tank cluster!"

Jest said this passage very seriously, but Jerome was extremely moved when he heard it. His eyes lit up, and he knew how to write his report this time.

the next day.

A meeting room rented by Nintendo in a five-star hotel in Las Vegas.

In the conference room seats, the middle-level and above leaders of Nintendo North American Branch were sitting upright, most of whom came from Japan. Before they set out, they all had great ambitions and wanted to make a fortune while the American video games were vacuumed. However, unexpectedly, before their careers officially started, they were hit hard by their future opponents.

"Baga!"

Arakawa slammed the two newspapers in his hand on the table. He walked back and forth angrily, and kept swearing the iconic Japanese curse. This was the second time he had lost control in the past few days.

The two newspapers he still has on the table are two big newspapers, one is the Washington Post. The two pictures are arranged side by side and are accompanied by an article. The photos are photos of their Nintendo and Mars Entertainment at the CES exhibition area. Because both companies held product launches one day before the exhibition opening and are direct competitors, this comparison is particularly meaningful.

The photo above is the exhibition area of ​​Mars Entertainment. In their trial area, it is almost crowded. There are queues of no less than ten people behind each machine. Several of the most popular and popular among players, and even the queues are dozens of meters long. I also explained on one side of this photo because there are too many people queuing, which has also caused dissatisfaction among some other exhibition parties. Because there are too many queues, the people queuing up have occupied the space that originally belonged to them.

These merchants joined forces to find the organizer of the CES exhibition, and the organizer came forward to negotiate with Mars Entertainment. After expanding the booth area of ​​Mars Entertainment by one-half, Mars Entertainment agreed to let these queuing players line up in their own exhibition area.

And this photo from Nintendo exhibition area... Whenever Arakawa sees this photo provided by the Washington Post, he has the urge to curse.

Although the number of people in their exhibition area is far less than that in Mars Entertainment, you don’t need to provide a photo of the exhibition just opened and visitors have not yet entered the venue.

In this photo, there are only two visitors in a large exhibition area of ​​Nintendo, trying out their biggest selling point this time - the light gun peripheral. The Nintendo staff at the booth in the camera were a little bored and smiling and chatting with each other, highlighting the leisure of the booth.

Comparing these two photos with ulterior motives has already made Arakawa a little awkward, but this report from the Los Angeles Times made him tremble after reading it.

The author of this article is Sean Jerome, a famous ABC reporter. He is also a columnist of the Los Angeles Times. This time, Nintendo sued Mars Entertainment for infringement. He happened to be invited to get the only media interview after the incident, so the Los Angeles Times also asked him to make an appointment with such a manuscript.

If it were other manuscripts, Arakawa might not care. Now all kinds of manuscripts are emerging in endlessly, and there is no shortage of such articles. However, the arguments of this manuscript are too ulterior motives and sensational.

"This is more worrying than the Soviet army"...

After reading this column by Sean Jerome, Arakawa Minami realized that it was Jester Lee who made this point several times and repeatedly put him in this situation. He was suddenly furious, but he could not do anything about it. This was also the reason why he was going to hold a meeting early this morning. Things have reached a point of burning fire, because after the Los Angeles Times published this article by Sean Jerome, it caused a huge response, especially the memory, which was defeated by Japanese manufacturers, and people in the automobile and other industries, who also jumped out to add fuel to the fire now.

Instructed by some people with ulterior motives, a California lawmaker clearly stated in an interview this morning that he hoped that the federal government would increase tariffs on cultural products. He did not want to see that the United States lost its manufacturing market and its cultural market after it lost its manufacturing market. He absolutely did not want to see that his children grew up in a subtle way of watching Japanese comics, playing Japanese games, and accepting Japanese culture.

His view has also been supported by many Americans.

Mi Arakawa looked around at the people present, and his sharp eyes passed through the faces of these people in turn. At least the middle-level elites above the Nintendo Americas branch were all involuntarily lowering their heads and not daring to look at Mi Arakawa.

They discussed for two hours, but they didn't even think about any feasible solution.

Faced with this scene, Arakawa Mi suddenly felt a little powerful and indescribable. Jester's series of combined punches were obviously prepared and vicious. If he came out openly, whether it was a fair way to compare the quality of the game or the price of the sales, he would not be afraid at all. But what he didn't expect was that Jester's methods would be so despicable, and even successfully aroused the Americans' dissatisfaction with the Japanese manufacturing industry occupying the market.

The most important thing is that this is the United States. For Nintendo, this is their away game, time, place, and people. They don’t have them.

“Too passive.”

Arakawa Miya knew that he had to deal with it, otherwise, this North American strategy might really be defeated by Jester and his Mars entertainment without fighting. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
