troid gradually lost attention with the new promotion of GaStar.
After half a month of troid's release, GaStar finally decided to announce the Super Nintendo Entertainnt System (SFC).
Of course, this ga console definitely needed so preheating; it couldn't just be revealed directly, as that wouldn't be exciting.
Firstly, promotion channels from Tokyo Television Station were utilized.
There would be a special episode of the Electronic Ga Grand Challenge program, featuring a live broadcast from GaStar's television studio, which would also be stread online.
During this event, GaStar would unveil their new move: a brand-new ga console. The specifics, such as its appearance, performance, and price, would be disclosed during the event.
The steady rhythm of releasing one first-party ga per month would temporarily pause for a month to make way for this new ga console.
Upon learning this, the head of Suirui Electronics' electronic ga division, Early Kawashita, finally understood what was coming.
Previously, he had learned about GaStar's new ga console through his connections.
Its performance was likely to be that of a full 16-bit machine, slightly stronger than their current PN-type ga console but still limited.
Previously, due to limitations in ga console performance, Red and White Machine (RWM) had so disadvantages compared to PN.
However, with the release of the new ga console, this disadvantage would be completely eliminated, making the PN ga console completely inferior.
Early Kawashita didn't hesitate at all and decided to respond imdiately.
Firstly, they would reveal the ga screen of their own ga, Sun Knight 2, which had been in developnt for a long ti.
Then, they would announce two other gas that had also been in preparation for a long ti.
One of them was a racing ga, while the other was a baseball ga with better graphics and superior gaplay quality, and it was even authorized by the Koshien Baseball League.
Sun Knight 2 would be officially released half a month later. For this ga, they had even hired the best composer to create an exclusive the song, received support from well-known artists, and received help from the original author in plot creation.
With Suirui Electronics' connections and financial resources, handling such matters was a piece of cake.
As for the other two gas, they would be released ten days and twenty days after Sun Knight 2, respectively.
It was obvious that Early Kawashita had his own ambitions in producing these two gas.
Baseball gas had already proven to be the most popular sports gas, followed by racing gas.
Racing gas were ranked second because similar works had recently appeared in movies, TV shows, and ani, receiving positive feedback and making the previously not very popular racing a sport that the Japanese people paid attention to.
Furthermore, Japan's own car culture was very popular, with several globally renowned car manufacturers being Japanese. Therefore, it seed natural for racing gas to be popular.
In addition, Suirui Electronics also announced a steering wheel controller specifically for racing gas, which was also very attractive.
As soon as the three gas were announced, they indeed attracted a lot of attention and diverted so of the attention from GaStar's promotion.
Suirui Electronics' PN ga console had already gained a certain audience in its ongoing struggle.
Its total sales had reached nearly four hundred thousand units.
Compared to the Red and White Machine, which had sold over two million units, its total sales naturally couldn't compete, but it still occupied a small portion of the market.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to attract companies willing to develop gas for them.
In the early days, the PN was like a garbage collector, effectively collecting all the gas that the Red and White Machine eliminated, which actually helped retain so players.
This could be considered the greatest counterattack Early Kawashita could make against GaStar.
Next, Early Kawashita arranged for engineers to work overti and develop a ga console with higher performance as quickly as possible.
He admitted that Suirui Electronics couldn't compare to GaStar in terms of ga quality, but they could attract people with better performance and graphics.
This was also one of the paths to success.
Previously, when competing in other industries, Suirui Electronics excelled in this area.
If they couldn't surpass anything else, they at least had to surpass in performance.
With Suirui Electronics' own engineering developnt capabilities, this was certainly not a problem. The only concern might be the cost of the ga console.
If the cost was too high, it would also exclude players.
Apart from Suirui Electronics, other ga manufacturers seed more like spectators.
They quietly watched the competition between the two ga console companies and made their decisions secretly.
GaStar could make more money, but Suirui Electronics could offer better rewards.
Next, it depended on how much advantage each side would gain in this round of competition.
On the other side of the gaming industry, Vides, specializing in the arcade field, remained calm, playing their own ga as always.
In the arcade field, without GaStar's involvent, they lived quite freely.
Starting early, they quickly captured a lot of the arcade ga market, giving them a significant advantage.
Recently, they had even received a huge amount of financing and had begun planning to expand their arcade production line and the frequency of ga developnt.
The entire Japanese gaming industry seed to have a three-way division of power.
Among them, Suirui Electronics was slowly rising, while GaStar maintained its dominance. However, there were always people eager to find ways to topple this dominant force so they could take over the electronic gaming market.
In the headquarters of GaStar Entertainnt, several senior executives were participating in an impromptu eting.
Takayuki revealed his plan to everyone.
He wanted to personally host a live broadcast.
In the previous world, Nintendo often had their president host such events, so Takayuki naturally wanted to experience it.
Speaking of which, he had never actually appeared on TV before.
Yasutaka asked seriously, "President, are you really going to host the live broadcast yourself?"
Takayuki nodded, "Yes, for our company, this is a new breakthrough. It's worth it for to personally announce the release of a brand-new ga console."
Announcing the release of a brand-new ga console personally was quite ceremonial.
Only in this world could Takayuki experience it; in the previous world, he never had this opportunity.
Now that he had it, Takayuki didn't want to miss it.
"In that case, we should change our strategy. If the president is going to host it personally, we need to make it more formal."
"Why does it need to be more formal?" Takayuki asked puzzledly.
Yasutaka explained, "President, you're usually quite casual in the company, and we're all used to that atmosphere, which is good. But I think in front of the public, you should maintain a serious and formal image; that's what a president should look like."
