In this paper, the competitive equilibrium of the Bertrand game is discussed with bounded rationality and the utility function. When the parameters changing and the number of firms increasing, the competitive equilibrium valve of Bertrand duopoly game is gradually being blurred. When the number of competitors is more than four, it is very difficult to derive the value of the equilibrium points. How to find the general competitive equilibrium points for Bertrand game, which is studied from spatial agglomeration with mean value theorem. A Bertrand duopoly game is proposed based on a demand function. Celestial bodies motion as method is introduced to handle the number and stability of competitive equilibrium points, and the stable points is symmetry. The results are supported by numerical computation and simulations.
