Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo Chapter 243: Release date

Lil'lda is a company with several major capital shareholders, and its CEO can no longer easily control it completely.

He can make decisions within a certain range, but once he exceeds the boundaries set by these shareholders, they will imdiately stop him and ask him to calm down.

However, he feels that they should be more aggressive and not stop there.

Increasing the price a bit is completely fine; after all, it's a combination of a phone and a handheld console, so it's normal for it to be more expensive than a regular phone.

But the shareholders obviously don't think so. They consider more factors and believe that they have eaten more salt than the CEO has eaten rice, so it's right to listen to them.

Be honest and don't be too radical.

The CEO of Lil'lda is sowhat helpless about this. If they don't increase the production cost, the yield rate will definitely not improve in the short term, and the loss will still be his.

But at least this product has won the favor of so people, so they can only find ways to promote the product first. Then, after achieving certain results, they can focus on ensuring the quality in the future.

At the sa ti, sales of all Lil'lda products have increased slightly.

With investnt from several large capital firms, they can directly spend on a lot of advertising, almost boosting their products to the sky.

This ti, it's not just the major departnt stores exaggerating their promotion; Lil'lda itself is doing the sa.

Takayuki, who is busy wrapping up things at troid, only learned about this a few days after Lil'lda released the product.

When he learned that Lil'lda and a telecommunications company had jointly produced a handheld device that can make phone calls, he felt a bit magical.

He didn't expect the world to also consider researching the path of mobile phone consoles.

However, Takayuki, who had experienced the developnt trend of the technological era, knew that this path was not feasible.

In the past, whether it was Nokia or Sony's self-developed mobile phone consoles, they all eventually faded into obscurity and did not make much impact. They ended up as playthings for collectors.

It's not that the quality of the product itself is poor, or that the quality of the gas logged into these phone consoles is poor, but they were just ahead of their ti.

Mobile gas may indeed be one of the futures of the gaming industry, but that's only after 2016. Before that, any mobile ga was still struggling to escape the short, fast, simple, and rough style of gaming.

Before that, more users still simply used their phones as communication tools. Players who liked gas would prefer the specialization of handheld consoles to avoid the annoyance of receiving a call or ssage while playing a ga.

And those accustod to phones would not even consider such a weird thing as a mobile phone console, which looks like a handheld console but also like a phone, like a four-legged creature with no clear identity.

Takayuki didn't know that Lil'lda was restricted by shareholders from letting the cost get too high.

If he knew, he would also think that those shareholders were reasonable.

If they really spent money recklessly, they would lose as much as they spent.

Lil'lda's move was akin to paying tuition fees for a lesson, and he felt that this thing wouldn't pose too much of a threat.

So he didn't worry about it anymore and continued to focus on the final developnt work of troid 3.

As February ended and March began, more news about troid 3 began to erge, from gaplay to the beginning of the story, teasing the players' appetites.

Finally, in the eager anticipation of players, the release date of troid 3 was officially announced on March 15th, and the mass production of cartridges had begun preparations about two months ago.

Because the cartridges are specially manufactured, they also contain a chip to enhance the performance of the SFC, so the production cycle of the cartridges is much longer than before.

At the sa ti, Takayuki also needed to consider the initial production quantity of cartridges.

In the end, he decided to be more generous and not too conservative.

Since they already had a considerable player base, achieving sales of millions would definitely be possible. So he decided to make more cartridges at the beginning. If they had to hold inventory, they would hold inventory. He didn't really care much about the short-term gains and losses of this ga.

And Arican and Japanese players, upon learning the official release date, were very excited.

This ti, the ga was released simultaneously in both regions to ensure that every player who wanted to experience it first wouldn't be spoiled.

At the sa ti, Takayuki also arranged various security preparations.

Previous experiences with the release of Dragon Quest and other popular gas had proven one thing.

Popular gas indeed had a different kind of magic; they could drive many players crazy.

This also reminded him of the days when he waited for gas to be released.

Sotis, he was even willing to buy digital versions of gas in advance just to get a taste a few days earlier, and then he would spend extra money to buy a physical copy for collection.

And in this era, the internet had only just erged for a few years and was not as developed as it would be in the future. It was still sowhat unrealistic to forcefully push out digital versions of gas. Physical cartridges were still of utmost importance.

And then, the ti ca on March 15th, the official release day of troid.

In Japan, every sales point where you could buy troid 3 had long queues.

Especially in company-owned stores, people had started camping in tents about three or four days ago, waiting in line to buy the ga. This had even beco a symbol of the release of a ga by Gastar Electronic Entertainnt.

Any ga released by Gastar Electronic Entertainnt would inevitably attract many people staying up all night in line.

At first, this behavior made the Japanese governnt nervous for a while.

Because of the previous brawl incident involving Dragon Quest 3, this matter also affected the Japanese governnt's side. But fortunately, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt handled it properly and quickly cald down the situation. However, the Japanese governnt still worried about causing worse accidents.

But later, after several series of ga releases, with the number of participants growing larger each ti, there had been no more serious incidents. This made the Japanese governnt quite satisfied.

The industry self-regulated, reducing the need for excessive intervention or involvent from them, making things easier for them and also making them friendlier towards electronic gas.

This was sothing Takayuki had always emphasized.

In the previous life, electronic gas had caused many negative impacts, leading to electronic gas being scapegoated multiple tis.

So Takayuki could only try to avoid such incidents as much as possible based on his experience in the previous life, allowing electronic gas to develop healthily in the early stages.

As for the later stages, he couldn't control them anymore.
