Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Especially in the gaming community, many players who are very skilled in this area have spontaneously created one gaming moment after another that symbolizes their golden age.

It has been almost seven years since the birth of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Over the course of those seven years, video games brought countless joys to these players.

Some people have had their lives changed to some extent because of video games.

Some people have found new pursuits through video games and become a completely new version of themselves.

They all love games and are grateful for them.

These videos perfectly capture all their feelings.

That year, Zhu Youxing didn't watch any other live streams; instead, he spent all his time on his own forum watching the interactions between the players.

Players expressed their love for the game through simple images and meticulously crafted videos.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing was thinking, perhaps I could also consider organizing a game to celebrate the New Year?

It's like a New Year's Eve celebration program such as the Red and White Song Festival.

Given the current influence of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they are certainly qualified to produce this kind of program.

Hmm, we can talk to someone from TV Tokyo about this.

NHK has the evergreen Kōhaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle), so TV Tokyo can also create its own unique program.

This can also serve as a channel for self-promotion.

And so, 1999 came to an end.

The bells rang in 2000, marking the beginning of the new millennium.

This bell also heralds the arrival of a new era.

Humans are always strange; they like to assign special meanings to certain days.

The first day of the new millennium is particularly noteworthy.

Even in Japan, which was still in the midst of the bubble economy's collapse and subsequent decline, the first day of the new year was exceptionally positive.

They faced life with positivity, as if all the past misfortunes would be completely washed away, and a new era was dawning.

However, life must go on.

The holiday had just ended when Zhu Youxing boarded a plane to the United States again.

In the first year of the new year, Zhuyouxing plans to participate in the International Consumer Electronics Show again.

Nowadays, Star Electronics Entertainment is a regular participant in the International Consumer Electronics Show.

They already have a venue comparable to that of Surui Electronics.

This is a world of difference compared to the small space of less than five square meters that we used to have.

This time, the venue area has increased dramatically to 100 square meters.

Surui Electronics also has a 100-square-meter advertising space.

However, unlike Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they also have many products unrelated to games to promote.

Surui Electronics is a large-scale integrated electronics products group.

Suri Electronics has a wide range of products, from tape recorders to the latest Blu-ray players, and then to televisions, personal computers, and even microwave ovens.

Although they have major promotional projects every year, they still need to leave some room for other products.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is relatively more limited in its offerings.

The entire 100-square-meter space was filled with the latest GS1 and GBA game consoles.

But even with a single product line, it couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm.

These two products are currently the most popular electronic products in the United States, and have been out of stock for a long time.

If it weren't for insufficient production capacity, game console sales could have increased by at least another 20% or 30% so far.

However, this has also created the impression that scarcity increases value, making those who cannot obtain it want it even more, which to some extent stimulates consumer desire.

Scarcity marketing is indeed an effective tactic, and even though Yuxing Electronic Entertainment did not intentionally do so, it still gained certain benefits.

Of course, if this electronics show were only about showcasing these already released products, it certainly wouldn't have warranted Zhu Youxing coming in person.

He came here to announce a brand new product.

Somatosensory.

In fact, the motion-sensing technology was already mentioned when the GS1 was being promoted.

However, at that time, players were focused on the performance of the game consoles and what games they could play.

It would have been unwise to promote it at that time.

This will significantly weaken the product's influence.

So it wasn't until this electronics show, six months after the release of the GS1, that Takeyusei decided to fully reveal its motion-sensing technology.

The GS1's performance was roughly comparable to that of the PS2 from its predecessor.

The GS1 also has a built-in motion-sensing module, which is a preparation for future motion-sensing games. This is the benefit of BambooStar's early planning.

You can be one step ahead of others in some things.

At this moment, it may seem like a trivial move, but at the crucial moment, it can really play a surprising role.

If other game companies suddenly realize the unique features of motion-sensing games, and that their current consoles simply cannot perform this function, then they will have no choice but to add motion-sensing functionality to their next-generation consoles.

This put them one step behind Zhu Youxing once again.

Zhu Youxing maintained his leading position by virtue of these repeated foresights.

This is the forward-thinking vision of a time traveler.

This is what truly makes Bamboo Star's cheat code.

"President, the press conference is ready."

At this very moment, inside the sheltered launch hall set up on the second floor by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhu Youxing is standing backstage, letting the makeup artist do his makeup.

"Hmm, how long until it officially begins?"

The employee next to Zhu Youxing raised his wrist to check his watch: "Five minutes left."

How many people are in the audience?

"There are already a hundred people, almost all of them are reporters from the biggest media outlets right now, and some industry peers have also sent people over to find out what's going on."

Chapter 340 Motion-Sensing Games

Good morning, everyone.

When the time for the press conference to begin arrived, Zhu Youxing walked onto the stage on time.

The entire room immediately went dark, and then a spotlight was shone on Zhu Youxing, making him the focus of everyone's attention.

"It's truly moving."

At that moment, some whispers arose from the audience.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar; upon closer inspection, it seemed to be Hayakawa Ueto's voice.

Next to him is Aiden, the current head of Surrey Electronics in the United States.

Aiden glanced at Hayakawa Ueto.

"What are you feeling sentimental about?"

"It has been almost seven years since the birth of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Such a young person has built a company that is almost comparable to ours on his own. This can only be described as a genius."

Aiden remained somewhat noncommittal.

Commercially, Zhuyouxing has nothing remarkable to offer.

He's a complete hands-off boss; he just plays games all the time.

Aiden didn't really think much of Takeyusei.

If it weren't for Takeyusei's good eye for business talent, such as Matsuhashi Minoru, the outcome would have been uncertain.

If Zhu Youxing were to actually run this company, it would probably have been devoured by some seasoned, cunning companies long ago, leaving nothing but bones.

Zhu Youxing himself was certainly well aware of this.

He knows his strengths and weaknesses, so he just focuses on his strengths and makes the most of them.

One person's strength is always limited; you can't be good at everything. Just entrust your weaknesses to trustworthy people, and then focus on what you're good at.

In Hayakawa Ueto's eyes, Takeyusei was the kind of technical expert.

He has always hoped that someone like Zhu Youxing would join Surui Electronics.

In that case, their video game industry would probably be unmatched.

He has also been dedicated to finding geniuses like Zhu Youxing.

Unfortunately, it seems there is only one Zhu Youxing in the world, and no one else can compare to him.

It's truly a pity.

"Hayakawa, what product do you think Takeyusei is personally promoting this time? Is it some new game console again?"

Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "No, although I can't be 100% sure, based on my current understanding of Yusei Electronics Entertainment, they won't be releasing any new game consoles for at least three or four years, which is also our opportunity."

Aiden said, "So what is he planning to promote this time? It looks like a big deal."

Hayakawa Ueto said, "To be honest, I don't know either. Maybe it's a new game? I heard that their Final Fantasy game was very popular during the demo phase, so they might be planning to increase the promotion of Final Fantasy."

Aiden thought about it and felt that it made some sense, but with his business acumen, he also felt that it wasn't that simple.

"Okay, don't overthink it. Let's just watch patiently. He'll release it soon anyway."

Hayakawa Ueto signaled to Aiden not to distract himself anymore; now he wanted to see for himself what Takeyusei was up to.

On stage, Zhu Youxing gave a brief overview of his company's current development trajectory.

This is really just a time for pointless chatter.
