Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

If someone could communicate with the senior management of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and they were willing to be frank about some things within the company, they would be surprised to find that the direction given by Yuxing was almost always correct.

However, perhaps due to the company's strict confidentiality, they rarely reveal anything about the company, even in their daily lives, which adds a layer of mystery to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

To date, only a filming crew from TV Tokyo has entered the headquarters of Yusei Electronics Entertainment to film interview videos.

Moreover, these interview videos are mostly just snippets of conversation, mostly consisting of evaluations of certain people and their own work status, offering almost no reference value.

Faced with criticisms on the internet, in newspapers, and on television, Zhu Youxing ignored them all after reading them.

Those guys' questioning is now pointless, because the public's eyes are discerning.

In the past, his small company might have been unable to attract customers because the alley was too deep and the aroma of the wine couldn't be smelled.

But now his company is a well-known winery in the neighborhood, and even a blind person can spot it immediately. So any game or game console manufactured by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will have no shortage of exposure.

However, such exposure is still limited to a small group of loyal players.

To date, a rough calculation shows that the total number of players in Japan and the United States has reached nearly 100 million.

After the FC became completely open source, it experienced another surge in hardware sales, with over 87 million game consoles sold to date.

Furthermore, the FC game console is currently selling over a million units per month. If we add the stimulus of special holiday promotions, perhaps this time next year, the FC will become the world's first game console to break the 100 million mark.

However, compared to the four billion player base counted in later generations, it is still much smaller.

Zhu Youxing hopes to go even further.

We need to find a way to convert more ordinary people into players.

In the original world, even a seventy-year-old man plays video games, and this is the future goal of Zhuyouxing.

Expanding the age range of video games further, making video games accessible to everyone, will usher in an era where video games change the world.

However, you can't get fat in one bite; you have to take it slowly.

The primary task now is to stabilize the current user base before expanding the core player group.

Zhu Youxing believes he needs to ensure that at least 100 million core paying players are his users, so that he will have more room to maneuver.

After the Direct presentation, the GS1 page was redirected to the official website.

More detailed information about the GS1 can be found on the official website.

Zhu Youxing was too lazy to explain those boring data points in a live presentation.

Even if players heard that, they'd probably just yawn. They only look at the most obvious things: the game graphics, the game lineup, and then the price and release date.

As for performance data, just put it on the webpage and let the players see it for themselves.

The GS1 uses two 32-bit chips to create a brand-new 64-bit game console. Its computing performance is slightly weaker than the PS2 in Yusei's memory, but it is still of epoch-making significance for the game industry in this world.

Meanwhile, the GS1 uses a pop-up optical disc drive as the main receiving medium for games.

This time, the physical form is no longer a cassette tape, but rather a CD.

The main reason is that optical discs have a large enough capacity.

Through in-depth customization by BambooStar and the optical disc drive patent factory, the GS1 has become an inexpensive optical disc reader capable of reading more than 2GB of discs.

In addition to reading game discs, this CD drive can also read movie discs.

You could say that if you buy this game console, you can use it as both a game console and an audio-visual entertainment device.

This is equivalent to buying two things for the price of one, which sounds like a great deal.

The price wasn't displayed on the webpage; it was only announced soon as a teaser.

To generate buzz for the game console, the price announcement naturally needs to be on an auspicious day.

Chapter 312 Japan is my territory, no one dares to make any trouble.

The details about the GS1 on the official website are not yet complete.

At this point, only the performance data of the game console has been presented; nothing else has been announced.

Things like the latest controllers and the machine's built-in system.

The GS1 is also the world's first game console to have a built-in operating system.

With an operating system, many game development projects will become much easier in the future. In fact, as long as your game console has sufficient performance, it can achieve backward compatibility through the built-in system, which is truly a great benefit.

About ten days later, on August 1st, the GBA was officially released.

The queues for this game console launch are much longer than before.

Players are so eager to be among the first to buy the game consoles that they're willing to queue up at the store a week in advance.

At the same time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has also launched an online ordering service. However, the timeliness of online shopping is definitely not as good as buying in person. In person, you can get it immediately, and there is a feeling of anticipation while queuing. This is completely different from the feeling of buying game consoles through online shopping.

Sales in Japan have reached a very mature stage. Yusei Electronics Entertainment only needs to continue manufacturing and distributing the products; the remaining issues will naturally be handled by the distributors.

At the entrance of the Yusei flagship store in Akihabara, a mecca for otaku, the queue is now at least three to four thousand people.

The store staff are now on high alert, as a tough battle is about to begin.

Faced with such a grand debut event, Zhuyouxing naturally wouldn't miss it.

In the past, he would personally take photos, but now he doesn't need to do that anymore.

All he needs to do is take a look at this rare and grand event.

Not far from the entrance of the directly operated store, Zhu Youxing was sitting in a car, looking out the window at the players queuing up and eagerly waiting. He was quite emotional.

Looking back five years before I came into this world, video games were still a relatively unknown field.

But now I have brought video games to the world and let the world experience the fun of video games.

Honestly, Zhu Youxing is quite proud of himself now.

If an industry can be created and continue to develop, and if this momentum continues, video games will penetrate into every household and eventually become one of the mainstream forms of entertainment in people's lives.

"President, we should go in now; sales are about to officially begin."

The president's assistant next to Takeyusei gave him a slight reminder.

Zhu Youxing also came to his senses, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in."

After saying that, Zhu Youxing opened the car door and got out of the car.

Among many people, there are naturally some with very sharp eyes.

They excitedly pointed to the location of Zhuyouxing: "Look! It's the God of Games!"

Upon hearing this address, everyone quickly turned around and immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Bamboo Star is now a god in the hearts of countless players.

Because of the appearance of this deity, they now have such interesting things to play with.

If they weren't currently queuing to buy game consoles, this group would probably have already swarmed in.

At this moment, it's obviously more important to be able to buy a game console as soon as possible.

However, there were still quite a few people shouting in the direction of Zhuyouxing.

"God of Games! Please sign your autograph!"

"God of Games! We love you!"

At this moment, Zhu Youxing noticed that there were people in the crowd wearing short-sleeved shirts with his image printed on them, which was something he hadn't expected.

I never imagined that I would unintentionally become a part of fan culture.

Did you get permission to have your image printed on the T-shirt? Or is this just a personal act?

And why did you have to print this in black and white? It's so unlucky!

Zhu Youxing was speechless for a while.

However, he still waved to the players in line in a friendly manner.

As for signatures, that's unnecessary.

If I were to sign again, I don't know how much time I would waste. I have more important things to do right now.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Zhu Youxing and several employees entered the specialty store.

Upon entering the store, Zhu Youxing noticed that most of the shelves had been emptied, leaving behind a long, winding queue barrier to ensure that more players could queue in an orderly manner.

In several corners, you can see some security guards who look quite imposing.

Ever since the fight that happened, Zhu Youxing has been taking it very seriously.

The growth of video games has always been a tightrope walk, with vested interests always eager to condemn them to the deepest abyss.

Industries like television, the internet, and other entertainment sectors all have a deep-seated hatred for video games.

On the one hand, they envy the rapid expansion of video games, and on the other hand, they hate that video games have taken away most of their users.

Before video games became popular, manufacturers of pachinko machines and similar gambling machines were doing very well.

But ever since video games came along, their business has been declining day by day.

The impact of video games was undoubtedly the greatest, followed by other factors.

Pachinko manufacturers that were quick to react and accurately grasped market trends, such as Kubonki and other entertainment machine manufacturers, immediately changed their company strategies, shifting from developing entertainment hardware to developing game software.

Those who were the first to try something new naturally made a fortune in the process.

Zhuyouxing is quite satisfied with the staffing at its directly operated stores. On the day of the release of any major game or console, security must be maximized to minimize any negative impact.

It was precisely because Yusei Electronics Entertainment set a good example through its self-discipline that other competitors followed suit, which prevented any major incidents from happening in the industry, and the Japanese government was naturally pleased.

This kind of industry self-regulation is what they welcome most.

Paying a lot of taxes and having so much convenience, video games are really great.

This is why the Japanese government gives video games a lot of leeway and helps their development, without forcibly suppressing them, which is completely different from the strategy in the United States.

Yusei Electronics Entertainment is now a highly sought-after guest of the Japanese government.

It can be said that as long as Yusei Electronics doesn't do anything reckless, with the backing of the government, not many treacherous individuals would dare to engage in underhanded tactics against Yusei Electronics in Japan.
