Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

However, Zhu Youxing was unwilling to do so.

He still prefers the feeling of having at least some money in his hands.

Moreover, for Surui Electronics, even if a billion-dollar investment fails, it's only a painful loss. But for an investment like Youxing Electronics Entertainment, failure would be a real blow.

In any case, maintaining a stable and unshakeable stance will allow one to always maintain an advantage. One can take the biggest slice of the pie, but one cannot monopolize it, as this would cause the entire industry to deteriorate. Monopoly is really not suitable for video games.

There's no need to gamble too much.

"The games from Zhuyou and Surui Electronics all look really fun."

In Zhu Youxing's office, several people gathered with him to watch the future meeting of Su Rui Electronics.

Airi Hayazawa's mouth was agape, unable to close it.

She wasn't particularly fond of playing games; she just liked doing her job according to Zhu Youxing's instructions.

She's gotten used to this situation.

However, when she saw the game screens displayed by Su Rui Electronics, she had to admit that these games were really too attractive.

The visuals—the blue sky and lush grasslands in the game—looked so real.

Even she, who wasn't particularly interested in video games, felt a desire to roam in such a world.

In this setting, not many people dare to say such things. Even if the other employees are shocked, they still don't dare to say directly that they want to play the game of their competitors.

However, Zhu Youxing really didn't care about any of that.

He asked, "How appealing do you find these games?"

Airi Hayazawa immediately replied, "Just looking at that visual, I actually felt an urge to buy it, and I think many players who have seen the game's visuals must feel the same way."

After Zhu Youxing refined the engine, and through his early experience developing the game team, as well as the explanation of new courses, he has been able to improve the engine.

With the same investment, it is possible to create game graphics that far surpass those of Final Fantasy VII at the time.

However, Final Fantasy VII doesn't win solely on its graphics; it wins more over its rich gameplay and captivating world-building and storyline.

Therefore, Takeyusei wasn't too worried about anything, and he didn't think that the Sun Knight could surpass him just by looking at the visuals.

However, we certainly cannot be careless.

Humans are visual creatures, and beautiful things always naturally have a more favorable filter on them.

As long as the game itself isn't too bad, it's easy to attract a group of fans.

If it also has a great storyline, then this game has the potential to become a masterpiece.

It now seems that the Sun Knight series, nurtured by multiple works, truly has this potential.

Well, I'll buy the game and play it myself after it's released. If it's fun, I'll consider giving it a good review and casting a vote for it in the year-end game awards.

However, if they try to steal my market share, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Zhu Youxing thought about it carefully. According to the expected release time of the new PNF game console, it should be next year. Even if it is a little earlier than his, it should not be much earlier. So he still has time to make a game that can make players take money out of their wallets and give it to him.

The only difference is what exactly needs to be done.

We can consider this later.

The meeting is not over yet.

Next, Hayakawa Ueto continued to introduce the various features of the latest PNF game console.

His first recommendation was the hardware platform for the brand-new game console.

In addition to being a giant in the electronics industry, Surui Electronics is also one of the standard setters in the industry.

Their family controls the standard-setting rights for multiple industries, and to this day, no one has been able to challenge that.

Ever since Yusei Electronics Entertainment's GS1 game console started using optical discs as the new physical game medium, Hayakawa Ueto immediately thought of his own technology.

When it comes to optical disc technology, Surui Electronics is a world leader.

Like Sony Electronics in its previous life, Surui Electronics in this world also possesses multiple optical disc-related technologies and has also developed Blu-ray discs similar to those of Sony in its previous life.

These optical discs can now hold up to 20GB of storage, and their manufacturing cost is extremely low, far cheaper than cassette tapes.

Furthermore, they have recently finalized the standards for blue light.

They originally had competitors, but Surui Electronics was clearly superior and successfully won the new era optical disc standard customization.

The Blu-ray disc standard, combined with Blu-ray technology, is one of the winning strategies for Surui Electronics this time.

Their new PNF game console uses this new technology.

With the support of new technologies, game developers can freely pack all kinds of game content onto discs and then unleash their creativity to create games with more exquisite graphics, without worrying about the limitations of game console hardware.

This is very friendly to game developers.

Moreover, they followed the same path as Yuxing Electronics Entertainment, which is to develop an easy-to-use game development environment with a very open attitude in terms of universality. They also learned from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment's game console operating system and developed their own game console system.

However, they don't have many competitive games to begin with, so there's no need to waste money making a compatible emulator. It's a thankless task anyway.

In addition to the technology of Blu-ray disc carriers, the new game console also utilizes many of its own technologies.

It features excellent audio module tuning and technical optimization in video output.

This demonstrates the strength of a company with exceptional scientific and technological expertise.

This is something that Zhu Youxing could never have, no matter how much he envied it.

This time, Surui Electronics is a very strong competitor.

In addition to the PNF home console, they also have their own new portable handheld game console called PNVITA.

Upon seeing this name, Zhu Youxing suddenly couldn't hold back.

Chapter 409 The last one called VITA is already dead.

In Latin, vita means life or new life.

When applied to an electronic device, it also carries the expectation of rebirth and the release of vitality.

There's nothing wrong with the word.

If Zhu Youxing is from this world and has no memories of his past life, he thinks the name is not bad.

However, with his memories of his past life, the more he looked at the name, the stranger his expression became.

Because the previous handheld console, VITA, was completely dead.

It just so happens that the Surui Electronics of this world is very similar to the Sony Electronics of the previous life. Sometimes, there are just too many coincidences in the grand scheme of things.

This handheld console, named PNVITA (abbreviated as PNV), has a relatively conventional appearance. It is basically a new handheld console created by studying the GBA and then making it a larger version.

Another feature of this handheld console is the addition of a smooth joystick button. However, like its predecessor, the PSP, it does not use dual joysticks, but instead adds a joystick on the left side.

This smooth joystick allows for more precise controls in the game.

If the game's character is in 3D perspective, then the character's movement will be more natural and realistic.

Hayakawa Ueto was clearly quite satisfied with the handheld console.

When the handheld console was unveiled at a future event, he maintained a smile throughout and proudly announced that his handheld console possessed the most powerful handheld console performance in the world.

On this handheld console, you can truly experience game graphics that are no less impressive than those of the PN2 model.

This is thanks to a custom-designed processor and graphics chip that they obtained through a partner.

Surui Electronics paid a considerable price for this chip.

However, the chip's exact appearance has not been revealed, but the manufacturer of this chip will surely write extensively about it soon, as it is their bargaining chip to increase their fame.

Just like when Youxing Electronics Entertainment finalized its chip supplier, that supplier immediately announced that it had successfully signed a chip order worth hundreds of millions.

However, the specific function of this chip cannot be disclosed; we will have to wait for Zhuyouxing to make the announcement.

In addition to its excellent gaming capabilities, this new handheld console is also a multimedia terminal.

On this, you can even connect to the newly popular wireless networks and watch some TV programs.

In an effort to promote its own optical disc technology, Surui Electronics even added a small optical disc slot to this game console.

so similar.

Everything is so similar.

Surui Electronics is following the exact same path as Sony in its previous life.

However, this is actually entirely understandable.

Unlike Zhuyouxing, Surui Electronics is a comprehensive electronics group.

Such diversified conglomerates typically develop each product in a diversified direction.

A device should incorporate as many functions as possible created by other departments within the company. This diversification can increase the attractiveness of the product, as not just any company can do this.

For companies like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, although they have many technology patents related to video games, once they get involved in other fields such as multimedia, they will inevitably need to use other companies' patents and pay patent fees. Therefore, Yuxing cannot add so many functions to its own game consoles. In fact, adding so many functions would be putting the cart before the horse. Game consoles should invest more resources in games, not in those boring things.

Unless Zhu Youxing also intends to build his own electronics conglomerate.

However, the capital investment required is beyond the capacity of most companies, and they may collapse and go bankrupt halfway through.

In that case, it would be better to pay patent fees.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Zhu Youxing doesn't plan to dabble in areas he doesn't understand at all. All his actions are more about seeking stability and saving money like crazy, becoming a big saver.

If he really had to invest, he would prefer to put all his funds into game development, which is his main focus.

As for Surui Electronics, they don't need to pay any patent fees at all. They are the rule-makers and standard-setters, so they might as well use them.

Surui Electronics has a presence in optical disc standards, multimedia standards, audio standards, and even interface standards. This is the advantage of an electronics giant.

As a handheld gaming console, the games being promoted this time are the main focus.

The launch games on the PNV handheld console were all games with exceptionally high-quality graphics at first glance.

These games are so visually stunning that they're enough to entice players to buy them.

This is truly a next-generation product for players in this world.

Compared to this, the GBA clearly seems somewhat outdated.

The GBA is only strong in 2D game graphics; its 3D game graphics are quite lacking.
