Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Those who shared their experiences were able to articulate the benefits of these games.

Gene might disagree, but these people were at least very articulate, unlike some of the people he had encountered before who often couldn't explain why they liked video games or what benefits they brought, only offering boring explanations like making them more relaxed and escaping from a world of suffering.

At that moment, Gene finally remembered the letter that had been attached to the game console and Ring Fit Adventure game that he had mailed to himself.

The letter also recommended some games.

He remained silent in front of the computer for a long time, and finally stood up from his seat as if he had made a decision, and walked towards the door.

About half an hour later, Gene appeared in a department store and headed straight for the nearest Yuxing Electronics Entertainment shelf.

"Sir, welcome! What can I do for you? Are you buying a game for your child?"

As soon as Gene entered the shelf area, a salesperson wearing a uniform with the Yusei Electronics logo came over, very enthusiastically.

"No, I just want to buy some games to try out. Are you very knowledgeable about video games?"

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately said proudly, "Of course, I'm a huge gamer. If you're not very knowledgeable about video games, I can give you some recommendations."

“I just want to hear what your favorite game is,” Gene said.

"My favorite is definitely Super Mario. I love lighthearted and fun games, but I also really like games with very touching storylines. Those kinds of games always make me cry, like Titanfall and Final Fantasy."

Gene nodded and said, "Then give me one of each. I'm a newbie to games and want to try them all."

"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll pack it up for you right now!"

The salesman was very happy; he was sure to get a good commission for selling so many games today.

While packing up Gene, the salesman was also giving a long and detailed presentation, recounting all his love for the game and leaving out almost every single detail.

"Sir, believe me, you will never regret playing this game. Even the most hard-hearted person will be moved by it."

"Sir, this Mario Galaxy game is the best Mario game I've ever played. Its ingenious ideas always remind me of the various adventures I had as a child. By the way, do you have any separate controllers at home? If not, you'll need to buy another pair."

Gene: "I have some at home, I don't need it."

"Okay, I'll continue. You won't find it long-winded, will you?"

Gene shook his head: "Of course not, please continue, I enjoy listening."

Gene now wants to hear feedback on the game from a wider audience.

Chapter 715 is truly short-sighted.

It's impossible to say that Gene was completely conquered by the game.

His professionalism prevents him from becoming addicted to anything.

However, he is now indeed observing video games from a different perspective, no longer viewing them in the same way as before.

Over the next few weeks, he tried many video games.

Among them are games with extremely high sales performance, and games with extremely low sales performance.

Each game seems to have its own unique characteristics.

If entertainment such as movies, novels, and music has a reason to exist in this world, then video games have the same reason.

This is something he now acknowledges.

After much deliberation, he wrote an article, an article specifically about video games.

Previously, he had only used his own words to evaluate video games.

In this article, he begins to analyze video games in depth.

Starting with my own understanding of games, I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of video games.

However, he added at the end that he was not trying to whitewash video games; their addictive nature is still a major problem. He had only reduced his own addiction to video games.

According to his recent research, people who are truly and completely addicted to video games are ultimately a minority.

While some games may indeed be addictive, most only provide temporary addiction.

The reason why some people become addicted to games for a long time is that some people lack willpower.

Such people may not be addicted to video games, but they will be addicted to other things, and this will not change because of whether video games are addictive or not.

His article was published directly online, making it accessible to everyone.

This article quickly broke the defenses of many who had previously criticized video games.

They never expected that someone who had previously been a harsh critic of video games would betray them like this.

We agreed to work together to destroy video games!

Caught off guard, these guys started criticizing Gene for being irresponsible. These people were determined to go down a dark path, so no matter how objectively Gene evaluated video games, they wouldn't change their minds.

Because there are indeed people who have suffered losses because of video games.

For example, Myron Keyes, the CEO of Mikefu.

He is one of the few business tycoons who opposes video games.

He hasn't had a good life since video games became popular, so naturally he dislikes them quite a bit.

He felt his business empire could have expanded much more rapidly without video games.

Without video games, he wouldn't have been kicked out of his company.

Without video games, he might have already become a prominent figure, a leader of his time.

However, he at least had some manners and didn't go on a rampage cursing video games; he simply expressed his indifference towards them in various other areas.

He also made sure to promote his product, hoping to increase sales of his MK1 smartphone.

Smartphones have gradually become a part of people's lives, and now is the time for them to rapidly expand their reach.

In the process, he successfully squeezed out Surui Electronics' handheld game console business, leaving it with no room to maneuver.

Surrey Electronics attempted to retaliate several times, but with little success, and was completely unable to pose a threat to Mikefu's industry.

As a more feature-rich mobile terminal, the Mikel MK1 simply cannot compete with Mikel.

This forced Surui Electronics to shift its focus and compete with Yuxing Electronics Entertainment for the home console business.

At the company headquarters in Mikefu, the monthly shareholders' meeting is being held.

The regular meeting will announce the product sales for the month, as well as the company's development progress plan for the following month.

"Our flagship product, the MK1, has successfully entered multiple national markets and has become the top-selling product in its category in these markets. Our influence is gradually increasing. This month, the total sales of the MK1 smartphone have reached 9.3 million units and are about to break the 10 million mark."

The shareholders smiled with satisfaction after hearing the sales figures reported.

They are all very satisfied with the current pace of development in Mikelford.

Their stock price soared as Mikefu's brand recognition increased.

Six months ago, Mikefu's MK1 mobile phone had only sold a little over three million units worldwide.

Now, monthly sales have exceeded nine million units, which is truly a huge step forward.

If this pace continues, breaking the 10 million unit monthly sales mark this year is not a dream.

It is also very possible that annual sales will exceed 100 million units next year.

I never expected it to be such a huge market.

It turns out that Myron Case was right; the smartphone industry really does have the potential to make money.

After Redfruit Company went bankrupt, those shareholders who were not optimistic about Myron Case have now faded into obscurity.

These new shareholders are congratulating themselves on their choice, while secretly mocking those who were shortsighted before.

Honestly, compared to the sales figures brought by so-called video games, aren't the sales of smartphones even more terrifying now?

After hearing the report, everyone smiled, but Myron Case remained calm throughout.

After the employees finished their reports, Myron Case took the initiative to ask, "Do we have any new competitor news right now? Judging from the current pace of development, there must be many people who are envious of our progress and want to enter this market."

The shareholders came to their senses after hearing this.

That's right. The mobile phone market is a market with a certain history. The traditional manufacturers may have been caught off guard, but they will definitely try to increase their appeal and develop similar products to expand the market as soon as possible.

"We have also conducted some research on competitors. We can now identify about three companies that pose a certain threat. These are three established mobile phone manufacturers. However, their internal management is very bloated. According to our intelligence, it will take them a long time to push forward the development of smartphones."

Myron Case nodded; this was the news he most wanted to hear.

The competitor's slow response is in his best interest.

This also reminded him of his former company, Red Fruit.

At that time, Hongguo Company was also a large company that was difficult to turn around.

They prefer to focus on existing home PCs rather than expand into new areas.

Such short-sightedness

Chapter 716 The Best Monster Hunter

After the meeting, Myron Case went directly to the company's R&D department to oversee the progress of the research and development.

He has an abnormally high demand for product quality.

Even if users may not actually need that excessively high quality, and most companies would just do a shoddy job, he wouldn't do that; he insists that his product must be the best.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this abnormal demand that his products have received so much praise and have become the most popular electronic products today.

Seeing the handheld gaming industry crumble under his leadership, the sense of defeat he once felt over video games gradually diminished.

It seems I overestimated video games. People's entertainment needs are still simpler and more basic, and video games are ultimately not considered mainstream.

While Myron Case was still deeply involved in his mobile phone business, he was unaware that Facebook had also formed a new research and development team.

Their research and development projects include a proprietary operating system and smartphones exclusively for Facebook.

Previously, Facebook's other shareholders were not very optimistic about the smartphone industry.

However, they have recently noticed that the smartphone industry under Myron Keyes' leadership is booming.
