Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

After speaking, Zhu Youxing waved his hand and pointed to the large screen behind him.

At this moment, a completely new image appeared on the large screen.

Here it comes!

What do players look forward to most? The latest games, of course.

They are a group of people who are never satisfied, and they are always pursuing the best games.

Music began to play, sung softly by a woman with a hint of seriousness.

The image also shows a blue sky and clouds, as well as a hand that looks more realistic.

Although people can still tell at a glance that these are fake hands created through code, they are still instantly amazed by the slender palms.

"Is this a game cutscene?"

"No, the game's CG would be better than this."

"What? Could it be footage from a game we can play?"

"It should be, but what game is this?"

People were both curious and excited.

Then, not long after, their excitement reached its peak, because they had already discerned a clue from the subsequent fast-paced music.

"It's Final Fantasy!"

"The sequel to Final Fantasy!"

"This is fantastic! I've been waiting for so long!"

The players cheered loudly.

The reactions were particularly strong from players who were moved by Final Fantasy VII.

Then the game's trailer stopped being secretive, and a girl with flowing long hair and a sweet face appeared on the screen.

"She's a new goddess!"

"Where's Tifa? Where's my Tifa? Why is Tifa gone?! I want Tifa!"

"You're clearly not a hardcore Final Fantasy fan. Every Final Fantasy game has a different story, and there hasn't been a single sequel with a standalone story so far."

"Huh? Why is this happening? I wanted to see Tifa again."

"Pfft, I want to too."

Meanwhile, the carnival was being broadcast live on television, with all technical support provided by TV Tokyo.

The ratings also surged at this time, even though it was only eight o'clock in the morning.

Among those watching the live stream were also staff from other game companies.

They watched the game trailer with envy.

Yusei Electronics is really wasting its talent. If they owned a game series like this, these commercial companies would definitely squeeze every last drop out of a single story and wouldn't even consider releasing a new game series. I'm afraid only Yusei has the confidence and qualifications to do this. It's truly enviable.

Final Fantasy VIII arrived as scheduled.

This is a game with better graphics than Final Fantasy VII.

This time, the character visuals are even more vivid, captivating every player with their stunning visuals.

However, this looks like a game trailer that's going to be a bombshell, so it should have been shown at the very end, right?

How come it was released first?

Chapter 480 The Prototype of a Sustainable Game

This high-quality game trailer was very popular and quickly won over every player present.

However, satisfying players' appetites seems to have become somewhat difficult.

Could it be a mistake by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in arranging the trailer?

Or perhaps... they're hiding an even bigger trump card?

Myron Case doesn't understand games very well, but that doesn't stop him from knowing some well-known game series.

When this Final Fantasy was released, countless young people in their company took leave from work because of it, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the game's immense popularity.

The boy next to him was also very excited; he was completely captivated by the brand-new Final Fantasy adventure story.

The trailer didn't reveal anything; it only showed a few gameplay sequences.

"Is this kind of game great?"

"Myron Case asked."

The boy nodded vigorously: "Of course! This is the best game!"

"Hmm? I thought Pokémon was your favorite game."

"Pokémon is the best, of course. Both of them are the best."

Shouldn't there only be one best?

"Who said that? I have so many of the best games here, there's no choice at all, all the games are super fun!"

Clearly, the boy was completely absorbed in the game and accepted it without reservation.

Starting with Final Fantasy VIII effectively stirred up the players' emotions.

After the trailer ended, the players in the audience cheered, and Zhu Youxing stood on the stage with a smile.

"So, are you all really looking forward to it?"

"Of course I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Very good, this is just the appetizer. I believe that when this game is finally released, it will satisfy even the most discerning players. And next, we'll be previewing other games."

This time, Zhuyouxing followed the consistent game promotion rhythm of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and immediately started by showing a crazy amount of videos, with all kinds of game trailers slapped right in front of you.

After the Final Fantasy trailer, new content about StarCraft was presented.

"StarCraft? Oh, I remember now, that's a game released by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for PC."

At that moment, Hayakawa Ueto, who was watching the live stream, suddenly remembered this game.

However, this game doesn't really have much to do with him.

This game is released on PC and will not be available on any console platforms, which means that the game will only have a PC audience.

The competition between Surui Electronics and Youxing Electronics Entertainment is based on the console platform. No matter how popular Youxing Electronics Entertainment's games are on the PC platform, it will not affect the competition on the console platform.

Hayakawa Ueto didn't quite understand Takeyusei's actions. Releasing games on their own platform would have solidified their position, but they insisted on releasing some games on PC. Weren't they afraid that PCs would take over the console market?

"President, I don't think this game poses any threat. It's probably just a transitional promotional campaign for Final Fantasy VIII."

One of Hayakawa Ueto's managers spoke confidently from the side.

Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "You're half right. This game is indeed not a big threat to us, but this is not just a transition in the Final Fantasy VIII trailer. Do you know how many users StarCraft has?"

"Huh? How many?"

The manager seemed somewhat bewildered.

He doesn't really know much about computer products.

Their main focus at Surui Electronics wasn't this field before, so they hadn't done any research on it.

However, as the president, Hayakawa Ueto naturally has a broader perspective than his subordinates.

"StarCraft currently has at least tens of millions of users, and that number is constantly increasing. Do you know what that means?"

The manager said uncertainly, "Does this mean that there is also a gaming market for personal computers?"

"It's obvious, I mean it's not so easy to see."

The manager thought about it seriously for a moment, and finally could only shake his head helplessly: "I don't know."

"It's about a stable user base. The sales of a typical video game usually decrease over time. Once a game has been on the market for more than six months, its popularity has completely faded, and the number of players willing to buy it will decrease significantly. At that point, the sales figures are basically set."

Hayakawa Ueto's subordinate nodded. He was very familiar with this; their game was like this, and the decline was even faster.

Generally, the sales of games from Surui Electronics can only last for two or three months before plummeting, and then the game's ability to generate revenue basically disappears.

Subsequently, the value of this game was mainly found on the second-hand market.

Surui Electronics has almost no involvement in the second-hand market; it's more of an exchange of interests between players and some second-hand stores.

Many senior executives at Surui Electronics are having a major headache about this.

They believe that these secondhand games have cost them a lot less money, and many high-level executives are putting pressure on Hayakawa Ueto to solve the secondhand problem. If possible, it would be best to make a game locked to a console once it's plugged in, forcing more players to spend more money.

But in the end, Hayakawa Uehito overruled everyone's objections.

He is a very good learner.

His role model was the Bamboo Star.

If we're talking about the most thriving games on the secondhand market, it's definitely the games from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

However, so far, Zhuyouxing has shown no reaction to the second-hand market, and even implicitly supports and encourages it. Zhuyouxing will actively put some of the old cartridges it collects into the secondary market and sell them at a cheaper price.

Previously, in the US market, Takeyusei used this tactic to utterly defeat those rampant plagiarists, leaving them unrecognizable.

When it comes to game quality and scale, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never been afraid of anyone.

Even with countless pirated and plagiarized games, they couldn't withstand the massive offensive from the legitimate company, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Since Takeyusei has not shown any significant reaction to the second-hand market, Hayakawa Ueto believes that he should not arbitrarily adjust the rules before he has secured the top spot in the market.

We can still make a profit now, but what if something goes wrong if we make changes?

Hayakawa Ueto was walking on thin ice in this regard.

Hayakawa Ueto continued, "The lifespan of a game is usually about six months, but so far I have found a few exceptions."

Hayakawa Ueto held up one finger and said, "The first game I discovered that can consistently generate a stable cash flow is Brown Entertainment's Dragon Treasure. They brought role-playing to the computer platform and, with the help of the stable network connection of the computer platform, they continuously bring players new game story content. They make money through time-based subscriptions. So far, the estimated annual profit of this game is around 50 to 60 million US dollars, and it is increasing every year."

The manager became slightly uneasy.
