Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 826 Weird game console

 Chapter 826 Strange Game Console

  826

“This is the latest game console we have launched, and the name of this game console is switch. It is a brand new attempt for us. I hope everyone will like it.”

 …

 “Is this...a game console? It feels weird.”

 “Yes, it looks a bit nondescript.”

“Don’t say that, this is a game console created by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Even if it is weird, it won’t be a big problem, because there will definitely be great games released.”

“Yes, no matter how the game console looks, the game itself is the most important.”

At this moment, Airi Hayasawa didn’t know what the reaction of the players watching the live broadcast was.

 The video of the face-to-face meeting was recorded a few days ago, but because she was too nervous, she did not dare to watch her live broadcast.

I didn’t expect that I would be so nervous. I was fine during the previous filming.

  It was precisely because she did not see the questioning voices in the first place.

 Players and people in many industries are a little confused.

 Youxing Electronic Entertainment actually developed a handheld console.

Originally, some people in the industry thought this was a wrong revelation made by some uncle party.

However, this is actually considered a false revelation, because it can also have the functions of a home machine.

So this game console can have the functions of a home console, does that mean that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment’s latest home console GSX will not be developed again?

So do they still need to continue to develop high-definition games?

 This time's game console is indeed very unconventional. Many game consoles in the past have a relatively regular appearance, but this time it looks like this. The screen is also super large, and it has no unique attributes of portability.

 No one wants to carry such a big thing in their pocket, it's just like a brick.

  What kind of strange thing did Youxing Electronic Entertainment come up with?

 In the video, Airi Hayasawa introduced this latest game console with a smile, presenting the design of the switch's detached handle, the body-sensory design, and several new gameplay features.

Through this detached handle, it looks smaller than the detached handles of home machines in the past, and it can be held directly in the hand without feeling awkward.

 She personally demonstrated a video game called 12switch in front of the video. In this game, the functions of this new handheld console were fully demonstrated. This time, there has been a great evolution in the somatosensory aspect.

This is not only to show the gameplay to players, but also to show the characteristics of this game console to game developers, so that they can use these functional products more conveniently in future game development.

 “Huh? This 12switch seems to be okay.”

“Look, it seems that this game will be included with the game console for free, so if you buy it, you can give this game a try.”

 “But...it’s still weird.”

After briefly introducing the functions and simple gameplay, Airi Hayasawa said: "I know what everyone should be looking forward to most is the game itself, so I won't continue to introduce these functions and basic gameplay here."

 “Here comes, here comes the main dish!”

 Game consoles are weird, but with good games everything is cloudy. This is what players pay most attention to, so players refocus their attention.

Hayakawa Ueto also raised some spirits.

He was actually a little confused by the appearance of this new game console.

This is indeed a brand new appearance that I have never been exposed to before, and I don’t know whether this brand new appearance can be generally accepted by players.

“The president, the feedback in the comment area and related forums are now questioning the appearance of this game console. It seems that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment may be in trouble this time.”

Hayakawa Ueto's men said with a bit of schadenfreude.

 Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "It's hard to say yet. The only thing I can say now is that this game console doesn't have a particularly good start."

Having competed with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for so many years, Hayakawa Ueto no longer easily believed that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment could fail so easily.

 In the past ten years or so, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has hardly encountered any problems in this area. They have been going smoothly all the way, and failure does not seem to happen to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 His subordinates are considered newcomers who have just been promoted, so they are not familiar with the time when they once competed with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The feedback from forums and live broadcast comments were immediately given to Zhu Youxing himself for review, but Zhu Youxing’s reaction was relatively indifferent.

Think game consoles are weird? That's right.

 If it’s not strange, then I’m sorry for the appearance of this game console.

 I think there was a lot of criticism about the switch in the original world.

 But what about the final outcome? The switch directly dominated the home game console market with its weak performance.

The other two game consoles rely more on top-notch picture quality and production to compete with the switch. As for the competition in terms of gameplay, there is no hope at all.

 At this period, Nintendo had almost no shortcomings except for the poor picture quality of the games.

Many people have also said that if Nintendo improves the performance of the game console to another level and allows the switch to have image quality that is comparable to that of the PS4, it will be a blast for the game consoles of the same period, and I am afraid that sales will be even higher. Big rise.

But at that time, Nintendo had experienced a huge failure and did not dare to easily get involved in more fields. It seemed wiser to stick to the switch itself. Facts have proved that they were right.

  Nintendo itself has so many game employees. Rushing to increase the performance of game consoles will also increase the workload of employees, and the results may not be very good at that time.

 Increasing the workload is equivalent to killing creativity, so there should be nothing wrong with Nintendo's choice at the time.

However, the development speed of game industrialization was somewhat frighteningly fast.

 After 2017 in the original world, the realism of the picture quality of the game industry has been greatly improved, and the efficiency of game development has also been greatly improved, making the switch look worse and worse. The original game console in 2017 was still good enough.

However, Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not have these problems.

Today, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has more than 10,000 employees worldwide and is now heading towards 20,000.

These are basically real game developers, rather than the tens of thousands of employees that some other technology companies rely on to combine complex technology departments and projects.

 Youxing Electronic Entertainment has more than 10,000 game development employees.

Such a large group of employees won’t worry about Nintendo’s problems at all.
