SONY身為當今最熱門的遊戲主機製造商,當年崛起並不是這麼順利,在多個強敵夾攻下,靠著合縱連橫抵抗當時的任天堂帝國。究竟在那段時間內,任天堂與SONY交手過多少次,SONY又靠著什麼樣的手法讓自家產品浮出檯面?就來聽說書的講講今天的故事吧!如果你不知道前因,來看看第一集吧!

▲上次說到任天堂和SONY合作破局,下一步SONY將單打獨鬥面對電玩市場,接下來他們會怎麼做呢

▲獨自參戰的SONY,面對外界矚目的「任天堂合作破局事件」,SONY國內的福永憲一是這麼解釋的:「任天堂較重視為低年齡層的玩家提供娛樂,而SONY國則認為應該以高年齡層為主,我們的意見產生了分歧,這才是分道揚鑣的主要原因!」

▲但 PLAYSTATION 戰隊推出的時機,在少了任天堂這個隊友的情況下,這場仗打得依然相當吃力。當時的強敵除了任天堂,還有 Sega 的 SS 等各國勁旅,這場戰役對 SONY 來說並不輕鬆。

▲失去了任天堂軍火相助的 SONY ,不被其他國家看好,大家都認為 SONY 只會成為這場戰役中的炮灰。

▲SONY 國卻不為外界質疑的聲音,積極分析任天堂的劣勢,並拉攏許多和任天堂對立的小國戰友,組成同盟戰隊。

▲對遊戲戰場遠沒有任天堂瞭解的 SONY 國,找來了 NAMCO 作為開路先鋒,NAMCO 作為長年參與遊戲戰事中的大國,和任天堂有著複雜的競爭糾葛,因此和 SONY 的合作可說是一拍即合。

▲SONY 國本身便是科技強國,和遊戲強國 NAMCO 聯手後,瞬間成為結合了科技與娛樂的超強聯盟,軍隊火力非同小可,許多小國見此勢力已漸漸成形,開始有倒戈的趨勢。

▲初期與 Sega 一仗,SONY 國和 NAMCO 國聯手打出了漂亮一仗,壓制了 Sega 的 SS,此戰大捷。

▲雖然打倒了 Sega 的 SS 軍團,但對 SONY 國來說最棘手的還是長期和任天堂合作的 SQUARE 的傭兵特戰隊,將潛在的敵人化為戰友是重要的一步。SQUARE 嚮往 SONY 國開發的強大火力裝備,藉由這個機會,SONY 向 SQVARE 拋出了橄欖枝,同盟再度增加一國。

▲SQUARE 的加入,對任天堂來說無疑是沈重的打擊。在此之後,CAPCOM 和 ENIX 的加入,對任天堂的處境更是雪上加霜。

▲PLAYSTATION 一戰成名。至此,PLAYSTATION 已是這片海域中最強的軍隊之一,擁有一定的名聲地位。基本上戰況已經逆轉了。

▲「PLAYSTATION 一戰成名。雖然任天堂和 SONY 的合作破局,在一開始的時候給了 SONY 一記重傷,但也給了 SONY 崛起的機會。經過這一役,兩國的恩怨是非浮上檯面被人所知,也讓 SONY 國正式稱霸海域一角,成為新的傳說。」
