Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Cheers erupted from both inside and outside the venue.

Meanwhile, in other exhibition halls, no matter how loud the noise was, the cheers from outside could be heard, even causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"What's going on outside?" someone asked, staring wide-eyed.

"It's all because of those players outside. They're a bunch of crazy guys. I don't know where they get all that energy to shout so loudly."

"Seriously, they've stolen our thunder. This is supposed to be a science and technology exhibition, so why is everyone else getting so much attention? It's just an entertainment product, and it's so childish at that. It's unbelievable that so many people like something meant for kids."

"Indeed, it's incomprehensible that so many adults like this. Don't these people ever grow up?"

Some people said sourly, "Hehe, they're just a little late bloomers, which is understandable. But people will mature sooner or later, and they'll eventually give up video games."

They were very envious of the attention that Youxing Electronic Entertainment received.

It's quite rare for a company's product to attract so much attention at an exhibition.

They would gladly shorten their lifespan by ten years to gain this kind of attention!

Unfortunately, they don't get that kind of attention.

The press conference continued, and Zhuyouxing briefly recounted the development history of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which was actually a prelude to the upcoming new game console.

To date, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has released several home consoles.

Each console has sold over 100 million units.

This achievement is simply despair-inducing for the competitors.

Even if Yuxing Electronics Entertainment falters even slightly, other game developers might have a chance to seize market share.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has always been on an upward trajectory, seemingly never going astray.

After a round of preparation, Zhu Youxing saw that the atmosphere was just right, so he walked to a position slightly to the left of the center of the somewhat dark stage. The spotlight shone all the light on Zhu Youxing, making him stand out even more, while also making the surroundings even darker.

This was actually to allow the staff to prepare and get the game machines ready.

"Alright, I've said enough of the preamble. Now, let's officially lead the players into the next generation, a brand new era!"

After speaking, Zhu Youxing raised his left hand slightly and then swung it to the side, immediately illuminating the area to his side with a spotlight.

Under the spotlight, a display stand separated by a glass enclosure appeared, showcasing two game consoles and two game controllers.

"oh oh!"

The players below the stage gasped in delighted whispers. They had been waiting for this for so long!

As Zhu Youxing spoke, the audience quickly lowered their voices: "Now, I would like to officially announce the release of our brand new next-generation home console: GSX."

The two new consoles look exactly the same, the main difference being that one is black and the other is white.

This time, they clearly intend to target different audiences with different color schemes.

Previously, Yusei Electronics only offered limited edition units with different appearances and colors, but this time, different colors will also be sold separately to attract more players' interest and love.

Initially, only black and white will be available, but more color options will be offered later.

"I think you've all been looking forward to this latest game console for a long time, but I know you're even more excited about the game demonstrations and the launch lineup. So please look at the big screen now."

Behind Zhu Youxing, a huge screen lit up, displaying the logos of brand-new games.

The first one to be affected is Mario Galaxy.

Chapter 615 Is there still a chance?

615

Players were already prepared for Super Mario being included in the starting lineup, which caused a stir of excitement among them, but not an overwhelming sense of elation.

However, what follows will excite some players.

The second game logo revealed is for Metrorod's latest work: Metrorod: Another M.

This game is the eleventh installment in the original world. Of course, there were some spin-offs and remakes before it, so the Bamboo Star in this world placed it earlier.

This product also happens to be an attempt at cinematic storytelling.

After Metrod, it was time for Dragon Quest.

This product can also be considered a New Year's item, and its sales are quite stable every year, with a guaranteed sales volume of over three million. As the first product in the lineup, it is naturally the most reliable choice.

This is equivalent to playing a trump card right from the start.

The fourth game is the latest installment in Need for Speed. Building on the experience gained from Need for Speed ​​5, the sixth game is even more refined. This time, they plan to use the latest racing simulation technology and specifically differentiate between simulation racing games and entertainment racing games in future titles, aiming to cater to both types of racing game players.

The fifth one is the fourth installment in the Street Fighter series, and it was the first time that the characters were made in 3D.

With its fully 3D battle scenes, Street Fighter has also undergone a series of upgrades.

Following this were a series of sequels such as Super Soccer Tournament and NBA Basketball, all of which ushered in a new era, with significant improvements in graphics, character animations, and all other technical aspects.

Standing on the stage, Zhu Youxing couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After so many years, the era of games he was familiar with had finally arrived.

The graphics of every game, even the remastered versions, look like they've entered a completely new era.

The cheers from the players were overwhelming. Today felt like a New Year's celebration. Games were being released one after another, and each one looked amazing, whetting the players' appetites.

At the same time, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment also promised that previous players could continue to play their old games, and the old games would remain compatible. However, this time the game console has once again changed from the form of CD to cartridge.

While optical discs were indeed inexpensive, with the development of new technologies, Yusei Electronics Entertainment, which acquired flash memory manufacturer Yusei, also tried to reduce the cost of cartridges to a very low level.

Now that they've acquired one of the flash memory manufacturers, future game consoles will naturally be more inclined to use cartridges. Moreover, the storage cost of cartridges has already decreased significantly and is now within an acceptable range.

Of course, cartridges are still more expensive than discs, but the advantage is that the game console doesn't have to sacrifice a large area for discs, so the size of the GSX console from Yusei Electronics Entertainment can be made about the same as the Famicom.

Powerful performance and a compact design – that’s everyone’s first impression of the GSX desktop.

After ten consecutive promotional videos featuring the starting lineups were played, players are still quite excited.

Die-hard gamers are already prepared to buy all the games released at launch.

After the trailers for the ten games ended, the spotlight returned to Zhu Youxing, who said, "I wonder if all the players are satisfied with these launch games."

The people in the audience immediately responded, expressing their excitement with loud shouts.

"President, I feel like we're in big danger. Just the lineup of games alone is enough to make it difficult for us to compete, and their game consoles... are much smaller than I imagined."

As a competitor, Hayakawa Ueto must have been among the first to watch Yusei Electronic Entertainment's live stream.

When Hayakawa Ueto saw the new game console announced by Yusei Electronics Entertainment, he felt a chill run down his spine.

They are not afraid of performance issues, but their latest game console is significantly larger than the previous generation because it needs to accommodate the optical drive system.

Greater performance requires better heat dissipation, which is unavoidable.

Optical drives and optical disc standards are the core businesses of Surui Electronics. They set the standards and create the patents, so in the future they can rake in all the patent fees for optical disc standards from other manufacturers.

As it's their own product, an optical drive is definitely a standard feature.

However, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment can directly get rid of the burden of optical drives. They don't need to consider such things. The structure for reading memory and the structure for reading optical discs are naturally very different in size. It is really unexpected that Yuxing Electronics Entertainment's latest game console can be made so compact.

Small size, powerful performance – this naturally attracts many gamers.

Combining powerful performance into a compact device naturally gives people a sense of awesomeness.

Nowadays, chip technology is constantly striving to become smaller.

In this respect, Surui Electronics lost a battle.

Add to that the starting lineup this time, and it's really leaving no room for anyone to compete.

With sequels to many older games, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has a stable player base that gives it an inherent competitive advantage.

It's alright. I'm just trying to protect my market share, not to compete with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Hayakawa Ueto comforted himself in this way, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up the fight.

He remained calm in front of his subordinates, so he said indifferently, "Don't panic, our products are just as good."

His only consolation now is that after YOO collapsed, he took the opportunity to abscond with a large number of game studios acquired by YOO.

Lured by high salaries, these people chose to join Surui Electronics, and their game development capabilities are beyond doubt. This time, the starting lineup will depend on them.

Just then, Hayakawa Ueto asked, "How are our press conference preparations going? Are the latest game trailers ready?"

"Everything is ready, but..."

"Just what?"

"Several studios have said that the game trailers they've given us might not be accurate."

"Inconsistent with reality?"

"The actual game isn't as good as the advertisements suggested."

Hayakawa Ueto waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, we still have plenty of time. Just let them work hard to achieve the promotional visuals within this timeframe."

With Hayakawa Ueto involved, they didn't say anything more.

Just then, Zhuyouxing, who was on the live stream, finally prepared to announce the price of their latest game console.

Hayakawa Ueto quickly quieted everyone down and focused on the live stream.

"Now, please look at the screen."

Zhu Youxing raised his hand, and a string of numbers representing the price of the game console appeared on the screen.

Initial price: $399.

The moment this number appeared, the players, who had been very excited, suddenly lowered their voices.

When Hayakawa Ueto, who was watching the live stream, saw this number, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly felt... that there might still be a chance for him.

Chapter 616 is truly a great opportunity!

"Quick! Revise the copy for me!"

The moment Yusei Electronics announced the price of its GSX game console, Hayakawa Ueto was already thinking of countless ways to better promote his product.

"Delete the previous tagline for the next generation and change it to 'Lower, Better, More Powerful!'"

He used to work in the publicity department and had a lot of experience in advertising. He also knew that sometimes the simpler and clearer the advertisement, the more it could touch people's hearts.
