Chapter 177 Popular in Japan, beat up MD (4.2k)

Wang Jizhi smiled, looked around at everyone, and continued: "Next, I want to focus on introducing the 'Tomahawk'."

"First of all, "Tomahawk" is a 16-bit home game console, using the Kirin 2 processor designed by Wujiang Group! Its computing speed reaches 8 MIPS. In other words, "Tomahawk" can process 800 MIPS per second.

The number of machine language instructions is 10,000! And the high-speed operation cache of the CPU is 4KB.”

"Secondly, "Tomahawk" has a special integrated graphics card, but our company calls it GPU, that is: graphics processor! Its maximum number of colors is: 16,777,216 colors (24-bit true color), display resolution

Yes: 256×224 to 640×480 pixels!”

Many people in the audience were a little confused after listening to it, and they didn't know how serious it was... Anyway, the more people don't understand what you say, the more awesome you appear.

But people in the industry are very aware of the power of these data, and they can't help but look shocked.

Wang Jizhi paused deliberately at this time, coughed twice, to attract everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Everyone, what I am going to say next is the biggest feature of "Tomahawk". It is different from other brands.

Home game consoles no longer have game cartridge interfaces, but are replaced by CD-ROM drives, which are optical drives. Game cartridges only have a storage capacity of tens of MB, while CD-ROMs have a storage capacity of about 600MB. This makes

Wujiang Game Company can produce large-scale games more calmly and conveniently!"

Wang Jizhi paused, smiled slightly, and asked: "Which game do you think is more well-made, a game with a size of tens of MB or a game with a size of 500 to 600 MB?"

Generally speaking, of course, games with a few hundred MB are more well-made.

People think so in their subconscious minds. After all, a game of several hundred MB takes a long time to produce, so of course it needs to be more sophisticated.

At this time, every guest at the press conference was shocked.

You know, in the era of 8-bit game consoles, the size of game software was usually only tens of KB, or a few MB. Games exceeding ten MB were considered relatively large games.

However, when the "Tomahawk" game console came out, it directly gave you hundreds of MB of games. Are you shocked?

Regardless of whether the game is fun or not, people will subconsciously think that a game with such a large capacity must be awesome and fun!

The audience suddenly became noisy.

Players who watched the live broadcast couldn't help but feel excited, and were full of expectations for the new game that Wujiang will release soon!

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried.

Competitors such as Nintendo and Sega were almost crying in the toilet.

This is no longer normal competition. It’s entirely our own company’s products that are being beaten by Wujiang’s “Tomahawk”!

"How... is this possible???" Hiroshi Yamauchi's face was full of decadence.

Not to mention that Wujiang Group was the first to release a 16-bit home game console before Nintendo, I never expected that the design of "Tomahawk" would be so advanced and bold, and even use CD-ROM technology.

However, Nintendo's 16-bit game console SFC (Super Famicom) is still stuck in the era of game cartridges, and the size of games is only a few dozen MB at most.

"It's over, sfc died before it started. It can't compete with the "Tomahawk" game console!!!" Hiroshi Yamauchi yelled, heartbroken.

Now, if sfc is released, it will definitely disappoint countless players.

If Nintendo wants to regain its dominance of home game consoles, it must also develop a game console with an optical drive!

However, this is basically a game console redesign.

Without a year or two, Nintendo would have no way to launch a product.

After such a long time, the day lily has become completely cold.

Wujiang Game Company’s “Tomahawk” home game console has already occupied the market...

At this moment, Hiroshi Yamauchi felt desperate, his hair was white, and his hero was dying.

As he likes to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he can't help but think of a sentence: If Yu is born, how can Liang be born?

At this time, he couldn't help but feel: "If Nintendo is born, how can it be without borders?!"

"Plop".

The person fainted and high blood pressure came up, causing Yamauchi to feel dizzy and black-eyed, and fell to the ground.

This scene shocked everyone...

…

All the executives of Sega gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the press conference of Borderless Games.

Everyone's expressions were very serious and melancholy.

Borderless "Tomahawk" beats Sega MD. With this ax blow, Sega MD may have to say "goodbye" to the market.

"Don't panic, everyone. Wujiang Group uses the latest optical drive technology, but as far as I know, the speed of the optical drive is very slow, only 150KB/S. The speed of the game cartridge we use is much faster than it. The advantage is mine!" At this time!

, an engineer suddenly shouted excitedly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted.

"That's right, the speed is only 150KB/S. It's hard to change a large map. If you start playing games, it will definitely not be smooth!"

"Yes, Ichiro Ono is right, we still have an advantage!"

Everyone comforted themselves at this time.

Returning to the press conference, Wang Jizhi signaled everyone to be quiet, and then introduced: "At present, the speed of optical drives is generally only 150KB/S. If it is used to read large games, the speed is a bit slow. However, after our developers

With our improvements, the optical drive has now been accelerated to a quadruple speed optical drive!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sega office suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment, and a heavy atmosphere filled the room...

"I didn't expect Wujiang Group to be so powerful and improve the optical drive by 4 times. As far as I know, even the inventors of CD, Philips and Sony, the optical drives they developed only have a speed of 150KB/S." Ichiro Ono said in a low voice.

, defend yourself.

At this moment, senior executives of Sony and Philips were also watching Wujiang's press conference. They never expected that Wujiang Group would be ahead of them and develop a four-times speed optical drive. They all found it incredible.

The inventor of this technology is not as powerful as outsiders, which is very embarrassing.

Wang Jizhi approached the big screen behind him, pointed at the photo, and introduced: "Look, there is the CD drive in the center above. Open the cover upwards. There is a round button on the right side of the drive cover. Press it to open the drive cover.

There are two round buttons, one large and one small, on the left side of the optical drive cover. The large button is the power button, which is responsible for turning the machine on and off. The small button is the hot reset button. In front of it are the sockets for the two handles, and there are memory slots above each handle.

The card socket. Directly behind it are the sockets for the AV cable and power cord. Depending on the model, the sockets for the AV cable also increase or decrease."

"Oh, by the way, our "Tomahawk" home game console can also be used as a music CD player. It can play music CDs. Like most CD players, "Tomahawk" can play CD songs randomly.

Play songs in sequence, repeat a single song or repeat the entire CD, the function is very powerful..."

Good guy, as soon as these words came out, it brought a big surprise to everyone. Now not only game players want to buy a "Tomahawk" game console, but even music lovers want to buy a "Tomahawk" game console.

In fact, if Wujiang Group wants to, it can also let "Tomahawk" play VCD videos. It only needs to install an MPEG-1 decoder on the "Tomahawk" motherboard.

However, Zhao Ye did not intend to do this.

If the functions of the first-generation "Tomahawk" are too complete, how can it be updated in the future and how can it bring surprises to consumers?

Therefore, the first-generation "Tomahawk" only had game functions and music functions, but even so, it was enough to amaze the world.

Besides, if you sell both "Tomahawk" and VCD, don't you make two kinds of money?

As a big capitalist, Zhao Ye still understands this clearly.

Of course, the most critical factor is that the current competitors are not strong enough to compete with Wujiang Group.

Many of Nintendo's classic games have been censored, and its influence and strength are far from enough to compete with the Borderless Group.

In Zhao Ye's view, companies that can compete with Wujiang must meet at least two conditions: first, they must have strong technology, and second, they must have huge capital.

In the future, Sony should be Wujiang’s closest enemy.

If Sony and Nintendo join forces, it will be very difficult.

In a previous life, Nintendo cooperated with Sony in 1989 to develop CD game consoles. However, due to this cooperation, Nintendo would lose the initiative, so it chose to terminate the contract and continue to develop game cartridges. Sony thought, if you don't cooperate with me,

Then I went it alone, and later got the PS1 game console. From falling in love to killing each other, Nintendo and Sony staged a heart-wrenching business war.

But it is not clear in this life. After all, Nintendo was not in a good situation at this time. If it wanted to win the market, it would be best to cooperate with Sony and develop CD game consoles together.

At the press conference, Wang Jizhi successively displayed many games, including "Pokemon II: Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil", and "The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link"

", "Final Fantasy II", "Calabash Brothers II: The Innate Calabash Vine", "Metal Slug", "Sonic", "Crash Bandicoot".

It can make players excited.

They really want to play every game.

Wang Jizhi smiled at this time and said: "With this product launch, Wujiang Game Company has brought a huge surprise to all game players. There are more than 40 games in total, which are guaranteed to make players very happy and happy, even if

You can play it for a whole year and never get tired of it!!!”

Then, Wang Jizhi finally announced the price of the "Tomahawk" home game console.

"In the Japanese market, the unified retail price of the "Tomahawk" home game console is 35,000 yen, and the price of game discs ranges from 2,500 yen to 3,000 yen!"

"Starting from eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the "Tomahawk" game console and game CDs will be officially launched in Japan!!!"

Immediately, Wang Jizhi announced the end of the product launch conference.
