Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 123 The way a president should be (77)

  Metrod's attention has gradually decreased with the new announcement of Yuxing.

   Half a month after the release of Metroid, Take Yusei finally decided to announce the Super Nintendo SFC.

   Of course, this game console definitely needs some warm-up, and it can’t be taken out directly, so there is nothing exciting.

   The first is the promotional channel from TV TOKYO.

   In the special period of the video game challenge program group, the TV live broadcast meeting from Yuxing Company will also be broadcast live on the Internet at the same time.

   And this time, Yuxing will announce its own big move, which is a brand new game console, but what it looks like, what kind of performance it has, and how much it will sell will be announced in the face-to-face meeting.

   The rhythm of steadily releasing a first-party game every month has also been temporarily suspended for a month to make way for this new console.

  When Suri Electronics learned about this, Hayakawa Zhiren knew that Yuxing's big move was finally coming.

   He learned about Yuxing's brand-new game console through his relationship.

   The performance should probably be full 16-bit machine performance, slightly better than their current PN-type consoles, but limited.

  Before, limited by the performance of the game machine, the red and white machine and the PN were still somewhat disadvantaged.

   But after the release of the new game console, this disadvantage will be completely wiped out, so that the PN game console will have no advantage.

   Hayakawa Ueto did not hesitate and decided to respond immediately.

   First of all, it is to announce the game screen of the game that has been developed for a long time: Sun Knight 2.

   and then announced two other games that were also long in the pipeline.

   One of them is a racing game, and the other is a baseball game with better graphics and better game quality, and it is also a baseball game officially authorized by the Koshien Baseball League.

  Sun Knight 2 will be officially released in half a month, just the day before the official announcement of SFC, which is obviously aimed at the release of SFC.

   In order to make this game this time, we also specially hired the best composers to match the exclusive theme song, as well as the full support of well-known painters, and the help of the original author in the creation of the plot.

   With the contacts and financial resources of Suri Electronics, it is really a piece of cake to do this kind of thing.

   As for the other two games, they will be released 10 days and 20 days after the release of Sun Knight respectively.

   Hayakawa Ukito obviously has his own ambitions for making these two games.

   Baseball has proven to be the most popular sports game, followed by racing games.

The reason why    racing games came second is that similar works have appeared in movies, TV dramas and animations recently, and the response was very good, making racing cars, which were not very popular, become a sport that the Japanese people paid attention to.

   In addition, Japan's own car culture is very popular. Several world-renowned car manufacturers are Japanese, and it seems to be a matter of course to be welcomed.

   In addition, Surui Electronics also announced a steering wheel handle specially used in racing games, which is also very attractive.

   The three games have just been announced, and they really attracted the attention of many people, taking away the attention of some Yuxing companies.

   Now Surui Electronics' PN game console has a certain audience in the process of continuous struggle.

  The total sales volume has reached nearly 400,000 units.

   Compared with the red and white machines, the total sales volume of more than 2 million units is naturally incomparable, but it also occupies a small part of the market.

   Otherwise, it is impossible to attract some companies that are willing to make games for them.

  The early PN was like collecting garbage. It was really effective to receive all the games eliminated by the red and white machines. It really relied on this method to retain some players.

   This is the biggest counterattack that Hayakawa Zhiren can make against Yusei.

   Immediately afterwards, Hayakawa Ukito also arranged for engineers to work overtime to develop a higher-performance game console as quickly as possible.

   In terms of the quality of video games, Ueto Hayakawa believes that he really cannot compare with Yuxing.

   But they can be attractive with better performance and better graphics.

   This is also one of the paths to success.

   Before Suri Electronics competed in other industries, it was also the best at this.

   Nothing can compare, at least in performance.

   With Surui Electronics' own engineering development strength, this is of course not a problem. The only thing to worry about may be the cost of the game console.

   If the cost is too high, it will also turn players away.

  In addition to Suri Electronics, other game manufacturers are more like spectators.

   They quietly watched the competition between the two game console companies, and then secretly made a choice.

  Youxing Company can make more money, but Surui Electronics can give more generous treatment.

   Next, it depends on how much advantage Yuxing Company will have in this round of competition.

   On the other side of the game industry, Vaders, who specializes in arcade machines, is very calm, playing his own game as always.

  In the arcade field, because there is no Yuxing Company involved, they are quite comfortable.

   He started early and quickly seized a lot of arcade game markets, giving him a great advantage.

   has even recently received a huge financing, and has begun to plan to expand the arcade production line, as well as the frequency of game development.

  The entire Japanese game industry seems to have a three-point posture.

   Among them, Suri Electronics is slowly rising, and Yuxing has always maintained its dominant position, but there are always people who are eager to find a way to stab this overlord, so that they can rise to the top and seize the market of video games.

   In the headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, several company executives are participating in an impromptu meeting.

   Take Yusei told everyone his plans.

  He wanted to host a face-to-face meeting himself.

   In the past life, Nintendo liked to let its own president host the meeting, and Takeyousei naturally wanted to experience it.

  Speaking of which, he has never really been on TV.

  Natsume Yasushi asked seriously: "President, do you really decide to host the face-to-face meeting in person?"

   Zhu Youxing nodded: "Well, it is a new breakthrough for our company, and the new game console release deserves my personal announcement."

   It is very ceremonial to announce a new game console in person.

   He can only experience it when he comes to this world, and he didn't even have this chance in his previous life.

   Now that we have this opportunity, Zhu Yuxing doesn't want to miss it.

   "Then we should change our strategy. If the president personally presides over it, it must be more formal."

   "Why should it be more formal?" Zhu Yuxing was puzzled.

Natsume Kanglong explained: "President, you are usually more casual in the company, and we are all used to this kind of atmosphere, which is good, but I think you should maintain a serious and formal image in front of the public. What a president should be like."
