Number One Game Designer

In the end, Fang Xi certainly didn't say such two things.

It can only be said that Satoshi Junshima's attitude is too clear, which makes it difficult for Fang Xi to think wrong.

From the beginning to the end, Junjima Satoshi's attitude towards Fang Xi was very clear from the beginning of this trip to Japan: draw in.

Outside there is the enemy of Solfa, and there is Microsoft, who does not know whether it is an enemy or a friend, spying on the side. The old man’s last home machine has lost money, and it is difficult to rely on the small handheld market—they urgently need it. To restore the market for home appliances, not to mention reaching the dominance in the past, at least it must reach a state where the previous profitability can compete with its own handhelds, instead of requiring handheld revenues and subsidizing home appliances.

So for Satoshi Junshima, the current style of acting is also very easy to guess, and try to win the producer who can win. On this point, Shangxi had a feeling: Since Hongyi informed Okinawa who was visiting for the first time, when Hongyi was not interested in developing its own console, the old Ren's support for Hongyi went up to a higher level. A top game producer that has no fundamental conflict of interest with him in the future. Isn't this what all host parties desire?

And Fang Xi, who made the earliest decision that Hongyi would not develop its own console, had already anticipated today's situation: Sofa would probably not be so concerned about Hongyi. For them, PlayStation, which has a global share of more than 60%, is their confidence. Anyone who has such a share will have the confidence to not ask: shouldn't it be your game developers who come to us? Make no mistake, hey!

Of course Fang Xi is not interested in asking for help. For him, the main force of the current Hongyi and the current Honghu platform is undoubtedly the PC. PC alone can stand and live well, so there is no need to go. ask for help. So there are only two to win over themselves: Lao Ren and Microsoft.

And if you really choose one of the two, it must be Microsoft. For Microsoft, their PC revenue is enough for them to squander in other fields and still have a surplus. It is really the monopoly of the Windows operating system, as long as the Windows system can guarantee. Stable installed capacity, so even if their mainframe loses money every year, they don’t care-this is just a little bit more money.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Hongyi’s choice of partner was only an old task: neither wealth nor large market share, just like the Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms, it is an individual who is a treasure, and Hongyi is of course. Wait for the price to be Liu Bei's Zhuge Kongming.

So Fang Xi spied in every possible way, so Fang Xi guessed the old Ren's new host, so Fang Xi made An Shi think that Hongyi had the choice to find Solfa and Microsoft with the news. But in fact, how much money can this news sell even if it goes to the other two? With this as a condition, it is the best to get the conditions in the old post.

"What does Fang Jun think is the current game market trend?"

This is Satoshi Kimijima's problem.

Fang Xi threw the unreliable content out of his mind, took a sip of tea and shook his head:

"President Kimishima himself already understands why come to ask me? From the time I guessed that your new host is blurring the boundary between home and handheld, it shows that what we can think of is actually the same. In the future, the rhythm will be the same. In the faster and faster era, the use of portable hosts for fragmented time will become more and more prominent. The faster your life, the greater the advantage of the new host NC."

The old Ren’s new host is named CHANGE, so according to the abbreviation, this host can also be called NC, although Fang Xi feels weird...

"Fragmented time..." Jundao Cong silently chanted the term that Xi said, and nodded in praise:

"Very good summarizing noun."

"CHANGE's initial plan for establishing the project was not as far-reaching as it had expected."

"After experiencing the fiasco of WIIU, our board of directors quickly reflected on it, and we knew that this console must succeed, because Ren's cannot withstand the failure of two consecutive generations of consoles."

"For us, if two consecutive generations of consoles are failures, then we are in danger of bidding farewell to the console market. So for me, I actually envy Solfa and Microsoft. They have a solid foundation. Backing, with sufficient trial and error ability. This is something that Ren does not possess."

"So CHANG is actually the most secure work for us, because what we are best at is the handheld, and for CHANG, we want to give a host the characteristics of a handheld. The handheld is also our greatest strength, so The'change' is stable."

Fang Xi touched his head, and here he realized that it was actually his own habitual thinking. He always thought that the old man saw the potential of mobile games, but he did not consider that this is a combination of his own handheld characteristics and a desperate fight. Think about it, too, the research funding for a host can be said to be sky-high, and Lao Ren is a company that focuses on the game field and basically has no other derivative fields. For them, if two host GGs are connected, although it is not Sentenced to death, but his vitality is affirmative.

"As for us now, we very much hope to reach a deeper strategic partnership with Hongyi." Satoshi Junjima's eyes were bright.

Fang Xi had a bitter cold under the eyes of Satoshi Junshima. A big man looked at you with anticipation in his eyes. No one would have such a good mood. Fang Xi almost thought he was going to turn around and undress now.

Shaking his head and throwing away those unreliable thoughts, Fang Xi said:

"Just like your company's insistence on handheld computers, Hongyi is now firmly committed to the PC line. You want to bring changes to the host. I want to make my Honghu platform the number one PC. So for now, It’s good for us to maintain the current relationship. Your agency said your own needs, if we can do it, then we don’t mind cooperating. As for the deeper, I don’t think it is necessary for the time being."

Strategic partners sound very good, but Fang Xi is more aware of the fact that there is not much crossover between the host and PC markets. In a distance, these are basically two platforms, and some functions or functions that can be easily deployed on the PC. Once the linkage is on the host, various adaptations are required, not to mention that there are a lot of buttons that may be needed in the later stages of the assassin, and maybe a special sub-menu is needed.

So if you really achieve this kind of relationship, then for the sake of Hongyi’s reputation, you may need to start two platforms and two production groups simultaneously in order to make games in the future, and each production group needs to be different for different platforms. It’s basically a matter of finding sin and suffering by yourself.

Fang Xi is very clear about the positioning of himself and Hongyi: To lead this game era, to be a person who leads the trend and sets standards, rather than being a model worker, that means nothing at all.

Optimize the PC game development environment in this world through the Honghu platform, so that all favorite games can support themselves more easily. This is Fang Xi’s goal, and cooperation with Ren is of no benefit to this goal. Fang Xi’s mind was when he refused. very clear.

Satoshi Junshima sighed, but it was a good result to get Fang Xi's "commission" promise, and he took a cup of tea to Fang Xi:

"Then please."
