The next day, many authorized retailers of the Famicom were crowded.
Many people rushed into the stores to inquire about the latest ga consoles.
So of them directly slapped money on the table, loudly proclaiming that they could pay and demanded to get the ga console as soon as possible.
But the store clerks could only apologize to these people, saying that the ga console had not been released yet and they couldn't provide it to them.
Never mind these custors, even the store clerks themselves wanted to get their hands on the latest ga consoles imdiately.
Especially that GB.
In the press conference, the price of the GB was not announced.
However, people already had a sense that it might not be cheap.
Although it was said to have performance close to the Famicom.
The 16-bit SFC is only sold for 8000 yen.
But a portable ga console like that couldn't possibly be cheap no matter how you looked at it.
But that's okay.
We have money.
Although the bubble burst, although life is a bit tough, entertainnt cannot be lacking.
Moreover, electronic gas are actually a relatively inexpensive form of entertainnt.
They could totally accept it.
At the sa ti, news about Gastar Electronic Entertainnt was everywhere, in newspapers, on Tokyo TV, and on the now-popular online portals.
"A rising star in the industry, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt, a disruptor."
"Genius-like creativity, god-like imagination, this is an unbeatable company!"
"Takayuki, a young president, how did he carve out his own gaming territory?"
Various ssages and news were rampant, which inadvertently helped Gastar Electronic Entertainnt continue to expand its influence.
And thanks to the price reduction strategy of the Famicom, the interest in electronic gas began to rise significantly.
The sales of the Famicom in the previous month reached five hundred thousand units.
But in the second month, it imdiately surged to seven hundred thousand units.
That's quite terrifying.
It's like an average daily sales of over twenty thousand Famicoms.
The release of the SFC seems to have had no impact on the current sales of ga consoles.
Because the SFC machine itself is 8000 yen, and the average price of gas has also increased by five hundred to a thousand yen.
In comparison, the discounted Famicom also has great appeal.
As a result, the lifespan of the Famicom seems to be extended for a long ti.
Those ga developnt companies had planned to gradually transition to making gas for the SFC.
But seeing that the Famicom is selling even hotter, with almost three million units sold, they hesitated to choose between the two.
The foundation of the Famicom is large enough.
They just needed to lower the overall graphics and sound quality a bit while making a ga for the SFC, and they could barely fit it into the Famicom.
New players enthusiastically bought Famicoms, without affecting those who were ready to pre-order the SFC.
If there's one group of people who are most headache-inducing now, it would be the ga division of Sury Electronics, and a few large companies that are also eager to make ga consoles.
Originally, they were all prepared to release their own ga consoles.
Their performance is basically between 8-bit and 16-bit.
Now the entire electronic ga industry is considered a blue ocean. Anyone with a bit of capital can enter and make a lot of money.
Many players are not satisfied with the gas on the Famicom.
Releasing a high-quality first-party ga every month is already very fast, but the overall ga length of this era is not much. If players are fast, they can usually finish a ga in three to five hours.
Unless it's a role-playing ga.
A ga made in a month, finished in three to five hours.
If they're really interested, they'll play it a few more tis and get completely bored. Then they'll crave more electronic gas.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt now has more than seventy small and large independent ga developnt groups or entertainnt companies that have transitioned into third-party ga developnt vendors.
But this is still not enough to satisfy these players.
They'll still find ways to play more gas, quite crazy.
So the electronic gaming industry now is really a huge gold mine. As long as you wave your script diligently, you can get piles of money.
The speed of earning money is so fast that even companies unrelated to electronics, software, or entertainnt are eager to enter the gaming industry.
In the Famicom, a team of about a dozen people making a ga, now as long as they sell more than twenty thousand copies, they can break even.
And all the remaining inco is pure profit.
Like the earliest third-party ga developnt vendors under the Famicom, they are now making a lot of money.
Forrly a semi-loser, now they have beco successful people.
Recently, they have also been noticed by many venture capital companies and are willing to give them a lot of money to invest.
Electronic gas have changed many people, players, practitioners, and even those lost souls.
Under Takayuki's drive, the electronic gaming industry has begun to blossom completely.
Now the number of players in Japan is skyrocketing.
If an organization could calculate the overall number of players now, they would be shocked to find that an industry that has only been developing for about a year now has a player base of more than four million.
Among them, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt holds more than seventy percent of the market share.
Thanks to Sury Electronics' persistent investnt and the influence of its industrial system, it has forcefully gained more than ten percent of the market share in this market.
And the remaining less than ten percent of the market share belongs to several large and small companies that also want to make ga consoles.
In major stores, electronic gas have also beco favorites.
They are displayed prominently on the counters.
Nowadays, ga companies don't even need to actively promote.
As long as they make gas, there are people who will help promote them for free.
It's all driven by interests, but overall it's benign.
And overseas, a wave of Japanese electronic gaming trends is also slowly rising.
But because the news is slightly lagging behind for now, people in Japan only have a rough idea that Sury Electronics' PN ga console has gained a certain fan base in the United States.
In Japan, Sury Electronics is being crushed by Gastar Electronic Entertainnt, but overseas, they seem to be quite strong.
Their electronic ga division is also using the profits from overseas to feed back into the dostic market, allowing them to continue to compete with Gastar Electronic Entertainnt with sufficient money and ammunition.
