"Hello, everyone. I am Satoru Iwata. Nice to meet you!" When the reporters saw Satoru Iwata walking up the stage with a smile on his face, they were stunned speechless.
They felt that Sony's press conference on April 1st was an April Fool's joke.
But even if it was an April Fool's joke, Satoru Iwata should not appear at Sony's press conference. But he did!
"Mr. Iwata, I will leave the rest to you!" Hideki Ken laughed.
"Yes!" Iwata Satoru smiled and said to the audience, "Next, let me announce the next lineup of games for the PSP handheld console. They are …"
Satoru Iwata introduced a total of four games. One of them is < Super Mario 64 DS >. This is a port of Super Mario from N64.
Other than that, < Snorlax: Fountain of Dreams DX > is a port of GBA.
< Metroid Prime: Fusion > is a new version of the game.
< Emblem: Blade of Fire > is a new version of the game.
He had to admit that the crowd went wild when Iwata Satoru announced the first four games (it seemed like the crowd went wild a little too many times today).
This was because these four games were all Nintendo's own works and had nothing to do with other third-party game manufacturers. They were truly Nintendo's IP.
Although two of the four games were remade and ported, the appearance of these four games meant that Nintendo had let go of their grudge against Sony and stood on the same side.
It was rare for these two rivals to put aside their hatred for each other. What was even more surprising was that Nintendo actually put their best game on the PSP. This was simply from the bottom of their heart. Could it be that Nintendo was going to give up on their own handheld console industry?
After the reporters ridiculed Satoru Iwata, Satoru Iwata continued. "I have another important announcement for everyone. To ensure that more players can play more games on the same platform and do not buy handheld consoles across multiple platforms, Nintendo has decided to release all of our games on the PSP platform. Everyone will be able to play PSP games on the PSP."
"This is because the PSP is the latest handheld console jointly developed by Nintendo and Sony. The touchscreen technology you demonstrated earlier is developed by Nintendo. At the same time, Nintendo will not give up on the development of the hardware. On the contrary, we will introduce more advanced, fun, and imaginative games!" Satoru Iwata said loudly.
All the reporters were shocked by the reconciliation and cooperation between Nintendo and Sony. No one noticed that Ken Hisaaki, who was standing behind them, had an ugly expression on his face.
Satoru Iwata had said all these and even pointed out that the touchscreen technology belongs to Nintendo. Is he trying to tell everyone that Nintendo is very important to the PSP?
Of course, even though Hiroki Ken's expression was ugly, he wouldn't get angry with Iwata Satoru. The two of them put on a show and then demonstrated the game on the PSP together. Amidst the exclamations of all the reporters, the press conference came to a successful end.
Judging from the shock in the eyes of the reporters below the stage, this cooperation was obviously very successful. At the very least, the press conference had shocked everyone.
But Ryomiki Ken knew that this was not enough. Thousand Machines was still the king of the handheld industry. If Sony wants to defeat Thousand Machines, they still have a lot to do.
But Hideki Ken is confident. Just like how Sony used the PS to defeat the N64, Hideki Ken also believes that Sony can defeat Qian Ji with the PSP.
"Mr. Iwata, let's work hard together!" Hideki Ken said to Satoru Iwata.
"Ok!" Iwata Satoru nodded and did not say anything. Soon, Ryogi Ken felt a little unhappy. Then, he looked at the reporters who were retreating below the stage and prepared to leave. Suddenly, a bell rang.
Hideki Ken stopped and realized the ringtone is from the reporters' phones. There are more than a dozen reporters, and their phones rang at the same time.
"Did something happen?" It didn't take long for Ken Yogi to sense that something was amiss. He stopped in his tracks with Satoshi Iwata. A reporter who was closest to them picked up the phone and asked in surprise, "What? Will Daqian Games hold a press conference in three days?"
"Daqian is also holding a press conference!!!" After a while, Ryogi Ken and Iwata Satoru looked at each other in dismay. Not long after, their secretaries delivered the relevant information to them.
"Daqian Games will be holding a press conference in Yuzhang on April 4th. They will be announcing the latest handheld console at the conference!" Sony's information is more detailed. They already know that Daqian Games will be selling handheld consoles at the conference.
"Is the information reliable?" Hideki Ken asked his secretary.
"It is very reliable!" His secretary looked at Satoru Iwata and hesitated. But Hideki Ken quickly said. "Mr. Iwata is our partner. You can tell us all the relevant information. No problem!"
"Yes!" The secretary said. "This news is very scary because the Daqian Games had informed us. The Daqian Games will be releasing new handheld consoles on April 4th. They hope that we can send a representative to attend their press conference!"
"The Daqian Games will tell you all this?!" Satoru Iwata was surprised.
"It's normal. We have been hiding the matter of the PSP from Da Qian. When Da Qian's staff informed us, we were probably in a meeting, so they didn't know about the PSP." When Ken Ryōki said this, he looked somewhat embarrassed.
But soon, these emotions were swept away. In the battlefield of the business world, whoever was embarrassed would be the first to die.
"Will you send a representative to attend the press conference?" Satoru Iwata asked curiously.
"Of course!" Hideki Ken smiled and nodded.
"Are you not afraid that the Daqian Games will kick you out?" Satoru Iwata asked curiously.
"In the handheld console industry, we are the underdogs now. That's why we have to act like the underdogs to win the hearts of the users! This time, not only will I send a representative, but I will also be there personally. This is to show respect to the Daqian Games! "Hideki Ken smiled.
"Actually, I hope that the Daqian Games will kick me out on the spot. This way, we can win more sympathy. As long as the PSP can be released more than 10,000 units, it will be worth it even if I am kicked out!"
Hideki Ken was a ruthless person.
