Sony's influence is unquestionable, which can be seen from the rise of stocks that have been listed on Nikkei.

Nintendo's stock fell relatively ugly due to various incidents. This time, the news of Oga Nobuo's cooperation was broadcast, in just a few days, Nintendo's stock price returned to its original state, which also made Hiro Yamauchi breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that his introduction of Sony was equivalent to attracting a wolf into the house, or to drive a tiger into the wolf.

He is not sure whether Sony has any, but in the future, they will start by themselves, roll up their sleeves and work hard, and enter the game industry, which is still very big in Yamauchi Hiroshi. Now that Oga Nobuo takes over Sony's power from Akio Morita, he must have to do something that Akio Morita has not done before.

Moreover, from the cooperation agreement he agreed with Nobuo Oga, he could see that Sony gave them the way out for themselves and their wolfish ambitions.

However, he had no choice but to disagree.

Jester was also thinking about Sony's cooperation with Nintendo. He knew that this history was different from what he knew well, but he still couldn't help but want to refer to it. In the original history, Sony took the initiative to use Nintendo's influence on the game console in order to promote its own cd-rpm format.

Moreover, both Japan Electric and Sega had already taken the lead in launching their own CD-rom system, and Nintendo knew that its development capabilities were insufficient, so he agreed to Sony's suggestion.

Nintendo was still a well-deserved overlord at that time. Moreover, since Ken Kutaragi defeated Fujitsu's FC sound source with a pcm sound source and won Nintendo's first contract of billions of yen, Sony and Nintendo have been very close. The reason why SFC was so successful was because Sony provided a lot of help to Nintendo during the development process.

As for the final betrayal of Nintendo, there are many different opinions. Jester was not interested in referring to this paragraph, because the current cooperation between Nintendo and Sony is that Nintendo is at a disadvantage, which is completely different from the history he knew. At that time, Nintendo was self-supervised and could leave Sony without hesitation. Now, they do not have the qualifications.

The news only says that Nintendo and Sony have formed an alliance to develop new consoles, but how to form an alliance is not exactly what the details are, and it is impossible to have them. Jester has to guess by himself. This is not something that has happened in history.

First of all, at the scale of Sony, letting them make such decisions is to have sufficient benefits to be desirable, whether it is current or potential, which can be verified through the history he is familiar with. That is the CD-rom system.

In Sony's eyes, although the game market has great potential, they have not entered yet. However, judging from Sony's subsequent forced acquisition of Hollywood film companies, we can also know that Sony dares to invest huge amounts of money even in areas that it is not familiar with.

It cannot be ruled out that Sony is interested in the game market except for winning CD-rom.

In the history that Jester is familiar with, Sony decided to enter the game industry after Nintendo betrayed. However, in Jester's view, this is just a gimmick. It is an open revenge on Nintendo. However, if the electronic game industry does not have the huge potential to make Sony, the top giant at that time, then Oga Nobuo, who had been promoted to Sony's chairman, would never make such a decision.

Because Nobuo Oga was under a lot of pressure at that time, after the cooperation with Nintendo broke down, many of Sony's senior executives opposed the high-end image of our Big Sony. Instead, they regarded Ken Kutaraki, who strongly advocated entering the game industry, as a heresy.

It is conceivable that Akio Morita, who had just accepted Sony from Akio Morita, had a hard time making such a decision when his prestige was insufficient.

However, this decision was obviously extremely correct, because after more than twenty years, the game department became one of Sony's few profitable departments, and the home appliance department they were proud of at the time had already suffered losses.

Yokoi Junhei was marginalized.

The actions of Nintendo and Sony are very fast, and it is not possible not to be fast, because the development of new hosts now must be accelerated. Although Sony developers are all hardware developers, it still takes some time to be familiar with and understand how to develop hosts.

Although home appliances and game consoles are both hardware development, and even high-end home appliances are much more difficult to develop than current game consoles, it is extremely difficult to easily transform from a home appliance business into a game console developer. In fact, in the history that Jester is familiar with, neither Nintendo nor Sega at that time were optimistic about Sony's brazen journey.

It’s not that they don’t know Sony’s strength, but because there was a failure of nec before. Secondly, the most important thing in making games is third-party game manufacturers. It is impossible to have reliable third-party game developers before Sony’s products do not have enough sales.

All game developers are also in the hands of Nintendo and Sega.

Yamauchi even said disdainfully when he was interviewed by the media at a charity dinner, if the sales volume of PS could exceed one million, then he would walk with his head. Coincidentally, Sega also claimed in a public occasion that home e-commerce companies also wanted to make games? It was simply a dream.

However, if they cooperate with Nintendo, the situation will be completely different. Nintendo's experience, Sony's technology, and a large number of third-party game developers and Nintendo's own game development capabilities are now unknown.

However, while Nintendo and Sony jointly established the development department, they have always had a transcendent position in Nintendo, especially in the hardware development department. Junhei Yokoi, who was regarded as a god by countless Nintendo employees, was suddenly transferred to the second hardware development headquarters.

Masayuki Uemura, who was originally the minister of the Second Hardware Development Headquarters, was transferred to the First Hardware Development Headquarters.

The retained palm machine development team was also ordered to be disbanded by Masayuki Uemura, who took over the first development headquarters, and all developers were incorporated into the newly established joint development department.

The new host development team originally in the Second Hardware Development Department was previously adjusted to the joint development department. It can be said that after this adjustment, Junhei Yokoi has become a completely bare commander.

Sony is very modest. In their newly established development team, they did not allow their own people to take the main position. The main designer was still Masayuki Uemura proposed by Nintendo, and Sony's deputy chief designer, Shiyu Goto, but Shiyu Goto is not responsible for the specific hardware development. He is responsible for the industrial design of the new console.

Ken Kutaraki serves as the leader of the joint development team, but he has already stated that he will not interfere in specific R&D work, and will only be responsible for coordinating exchanges and administrative issues between Sony and Nintendo.

Originally, Yamauchi Hiroshi proposed that Yokoi Junhei and Goto Shiyu serve as the deputy chief designer of the new host project, because he knew Yokoi Junhei's talent was far inferior to him. It was only this time that he was marginalized because of his contrary decision-making.

However, Ken Kutaraki, who was originally very easy to talk to, refused on this question.

Jiuduo has learned from many aspects that Yokoi Junhei was the one who opposed the full development of new console hardware within Nintendo before. He was not optimistic about cooperation with Sony at the beginning, but instead wanted to make a palm phone with no market prospects.

Such people who are completely opposite to their own ideas will definitely disagree with such a high position in the joint development team.

In Jiuduo's opinion, the joint development team gave Nintendo the lead because Nintendo is indeed much better than Sony, which just entered this industry. Secondly, Masayuki Uemura is also the main designer of FC, and has successful product support to prove his abilities.

The most important thing is that he is the one who supports the development of the next generation of home consoles in Nintendo. It is said that because his relationship with Junpei Yokoi, who advocates developing the palm console at this time, the two are basically strangers now.

Juduo didn't care why Masayuki Uemura fully supported home computer development. He wanted to seize the throne of the number one person in Nintendo's hardware development department from Yokoi Junhei, but he really thought that this was the most correct one. What he cared about was that Masayuki Uemura was his, or that was consistent with Sony's goal.

That's enough.

No matter how talented Yokoi Junhei is, no matter how striking what Yamauchi said, he did not agree from the fact that the host development strategy was a certain fact. This time, his cooperation with Nintendo was not easy for him to convince His Excellency Oga Nobuo. For Jiuduo himself, failure is absolutely not allowed.

It is absolutely impossible for him to have such an important position as a deputy chief designer in Yokoi Junhei in terms of ideas and ideas.

Moreover, most importantly, in the joint development team, after Nintendo's people serve as the chief designer, if the quota of deputy chief designers is then occupied by Nintendo's people, then there is no need to call this joint development team the joint development team, but just call it the Nintendo development team.

It is because of these reasons that Ken Kutaraki did not hesitate to reject the suggestion that Hiroshi Yamauchi let Yokoi Kohei serve as the deputy chief designer of the joint development team.

Is it because I don’t know Yokoi Junpei’s talent for a long time?
