Chapter 26 "Plants vs. Zombies"

Although Takahashi pays great attention to promoting technological development, he is not a completely technical determinist.

At least, in the current situation, such as games and various literary and artistic entertainment productions, the main role is still people.

Although Wanhu’s intelligent analysis system is indeed very powerful, it can grasp people’s reactions to different plots.

At that time, it was used as auxiliary materials to provide assistance to creators.

Because the biggest problem is that not every plot synthesized by computers can trigger people's emotional switches.

In this case, even if tens of thousands of users can use many users to test, it is still difficult to finally decide whether to use a certain segment.

Mature creators can find the best ones from these plots.

This is the case with single-item feedback programs like movies and TV series, and it is even more difficult for electronic games to be generated by computer programs.

In this case, Takahashi would still propose some electronics from time to time, so naturally someone would realize it.

However……

At this point, the most influential hit is not the game of Wanhu, but the game "Temple Escape", a small Japanese manufacturer.

In fact, it can be seen from this aspect.

Japan's electronic game industry is definitely not a paper tiger, and its past glory is definitely not a dream bubble.

The reason why we are facing difficulties now is that although there are factors that are bad economic factors, more importantly, they cannot adapt to the market trends of this era.

It may violate some people's perceptions, but in fact, in Japan's golden age, Japan's electronics industry surpassed the United States.

The reason why the United States was able to fight back is due to the alliance between Intel and Microsoft.

Although most of the machines in this market are low-end machines. Compared with the software architecture customized by Apple from ibm, there are also various problems.

However, the alliance between Intel and Microsoft has a million software ecosystem as support.

If a person wants to use it more comfortably and more conveniently, the only way to choose technology is Microsoft and Intel.

Even many professional software only have this version.

You should know that modern industrial production will always have the lowest cost if the output is large.

The x86 alliance, dominated by Intel and Microsoft, after ibm felt that its profits were low, it actually killed everyone. Not long after, it began to attack the home court on which ibm relied on, that is, the server market.

In comparison, although Japan is temporarily more technologically advanced.

But there is no unified ecology.

Even in the Japanese market, there are three mainstream computer standards.

Because everyone wants to be the boss, everyone wants to take advantage of the standard.

Unfortunately, the final result is that it lacks the cohesion of one unit.

After entering the new century, all Japan's own personal computer architectures have withdrawn from the stage of history, and x86 has entered.

Without industrial support and sufficient demand, Japan's electronics industry will naturally lose the funds and possibilities for continued upgrading.

In this way, the electronics industry will naturally lag behind.

Intel slowly overtakes the market because it has a whole market.

Of course, the Wanhu, Samsung and TSMC, which are catching up, represent mainland China, Taiwan (Meow) Bay and South Korea, respectively, and the lagging Japan, began to compete for the second-tier market.

Now it seems that the one with the best prospect is mainland China.

Why do you say so?

Because Wanhu has two huge markets as support.

One is the graphics card market segment under the large system of x86.

Although for various reasons, Wanhu cannot make a central processor for x86.

However, Wanhu is one of the earliest and most financially capable manufacturers to make display chips.

Having the initiative means leading step by step.

With Wanhu as the core, as well as other brands in the United States, Taiwan (Meow) Bay, and mainland China, the graphics cards manufactured almost monopolize the entire display chip market for x86 architecture computers.

Is Wanhu's technology absolutely leading?

No, no.

Then why can tens of thousands of graphics cards become the absolute mainstream of the x86 market?

Because tens of thousands of households occupy two markets for graphics card use.

One part is the game, because of the Wanhu game platform developed by the Wanhu game platform.

Wanhu has become the largest online game distributor on x86.

In this way, Wanhu can find game manufacturers to cooperate everywhere to optimize games in depth for Wanhu's graphics cards.

This may sound a bit mediocre.

However, when players purchased graphics cards and started playing games, they found that the graphics cards of the same price were more suitable for playing games than other graphics cards. They had better pictures and better frames.

Then why don’t players buy graphics cards with tens of thousands of households?

Other graphics card manufacturers have only two options in this situation.

One is like Wanhu, looking for game manufacturers to cooperate everywhere.

However, you don’t have a game distribution platform. Unless you pay, why should I cooperate with you to optimize my game?

Another one is to reduce the price of graphics cards.

No matter which way you go, it will cost a lot of money.

In this way, they can invest much less funds in the subsequent development of graphics cards.

Under such circumstances, Wanhu will naturally be even more ahead.

Even when other manufacturers start to pile up materials in order to show their conscience.

Wanhu can already use accurate knife techniques to optimize their graphics cards.

For gaming graphics cards, you only need to have the function that supports playing games.

In this case, if this floating-point operation is cut, the stream processor will cut again. In short, tens of thousands of users can achieve the same gaming performance, but the profit is at least 50% higher than that of competitors.

In this way, how can other manufacturers buy it?

Because Wanhu's logo is red, the color scheme of the graphics card is also red. In order not to be sued by antitrust.

Wanhu also specially supported a Chinese named Huang Renxun and founded a graphics card company called Nvidia.

In addition to gaming graphics cards, professional graphics cards have greater advantages.

It can even be said that the entire Hollywood special effects system now uses the Wanhu system special effects software. In this case, how can other manufacturers fight with Wanhu?

In addition, Wanhu's mobile phone processing chips are even monopolized by Wanhu's own semiconductors.

Takahashi doesn’t know much about technology, so he leaves professional matters to professionals.

And he made a mobile game in his spare time, which is "Plant vs. Zombies".
