Now countless journalists are secretly cursing their bosses.
They curse their bosses for not being flexible enough. Now they are begging their TV station directors to change quickly, hoping that rules can be changed.
This is a rare social phenomenon.
In the current situation of Japan's economic bubble burst, so many people hitting the streets to buy goods, even willing to wait in line for one or two days or even more, is very rare.
There's no need to say much about the Japanese Economic News. They are very biased towards Gamestar Electronics Entertainment.
Seeing the rapid development momentum of Gamestar Electronics Entertainment now, they began to praise the various benefits of electronic games.
They praised electronic games for revitalizing the sluggish Japanese society.
They praised Gamestar Electronics Entertainment as an excellent company, and its president is also young and promising.
At the same time, these economists also chattered, saying that perhaps this could be a sign of Japan breaking free from the quagmire of the burst bubble.
The Japanese people have felt that they have lost several years of time. The once prosperous Japan has fallen to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
However, Takayuki knows that these are all bluffs.
A mere electronic game cannot affect the entire economic situation of Japan. At most, it can only bring a slight boost.
But this seems to be the influence of the butterfly effect.
He changed many people himself.
Of course, he also hopes to change more people.
However, the sales of SFC do not reflect particularly obvious results.
First week sales of four hundred thousand.
This is already quite astonishing.
This seems to prove that the purchasing power of the Japanese people still exists, but they lack something that truly moves them.
This is also the result of a year of market development efforts.
It's really not easy. If efforts continue in the future, certain popular top games in Japan may reach over a million in first week sales. This is basically the sales limit for the entire domestic market of Japan, and further improvement would be very difficult.
After all, there are only so many Japanese people.
The average performance of the four launch games is also good. Contra 3 and Super Mario World sales both exceeded three hundred thousand, which means that seventy percent of game console buyers will choose these two games, and they are also colleagues' choices.
The other Mario drawing and F-Zero sales are a bit lower.
F-Zero sold close to two hundred thousand, which is also good.
Mario drawing is only a hundred thousand.
This game is more experimental in nature, and Takayuki didn't really expect this game to bring in much profit. Whatever they earn is fine, as the development cost of this game wasn't high anyway.
Then Takayuki looked at the performance of other competitors, seeing their current sales of game consoles and games.
First is the PN game console.
The release of SFC directly shut it down.
According to industry estimates, the sales volume for one week probably didn't exceed two thousand units, truly the most miserable week.
As for game sales, there's no need to mention them. There's already no data available to track the sales performance of these games.
Suiryu Electronics didn't struggle much, just let themselves be ravaged by Gamestar Electronics Entertainment, without any resistance.
The influence of SFC is indeed very strong. Directly confronting it is really a loss. So it's better to skip this competition for now and wait for the opportunity to strike back.
Other companies that want to make money are almost the same, facing the release of SFC without any reaction, completely lying flat.
Takayuki found it a bit boring, didn't expect them to give up resistance like this.
You could at least make a symbolic move.
It's not that they don't want to, it's just that Takayuki spent almost all of his money monopolizing the advertising space those few days, they don't even have a channel for promotion, so naturally they can't do anything.
But it's estimated that after SFC sales stabilize, they will start trying to counterattack.
There are industry rumors that Suiryu Electronics seems to be planning to produce handheld consoles.
And their performance will be even better, only this way can they possibly gain an advantage, otherwise under the same conditions, they really can't compete with Takayuki.
There's no news on the development of new home game consoles, not sure if it's being kept secret and not discovered.
After some thought, Takayuki felt that he still needed to urge these competitors.
Can't let them lie down like this.
He's counting on these people to cross the river with them.
He needs to accelerate the development speed of game consoles, otherwise he'll never be able to play real AAA games.
So Takayuki called in Yasutaka Natsume, who was in charge of marketing.
"Natsume-san, I have a new task for you, but this task is quite special."
As soon as Yasutaka Natsume came in, Takayuki directly gave him a task.
"Mr. President, please go on."
"Find some people, try to use the internet anonymously, hiding IP addresses and all information, and then leak some information."
Yasutaka Natsume was a little confused by Takayuki's words: "Leak information? What information?"
"Just say we are starting to develop a game console with stronger performance, it is expected to be a game console directly manufacturing 32-bit chips, ready to enter the field of 3D graphics games, bringing innovation to the electronic game industry."
Takayuki paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Also, find some suitable chip companies, both domestic and foreign, make some inquiries, and find opportunities to visit their companies' latest digital chip models, and then try to 'accidentally' take some spy photos and spread them on the internet."
Yasutaka Natsume widened his eyes slightly.
"President, are you serious? We are really developing the latest game console, and it really is 32-bit. So, actively leaking secrets, isn't that inviting a response from our competitors?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I want to do. They are too slow, I have to push them a bit harder." Takayuki revealed a mysterious smile.
"Too... too slow?"
Yasutaka Natsume had to admit that he often couldn't figure out Takayuki's strategies.
The internal engineering development team of the company has indeed started to develop the new game console.
Although it has just started, Takayuki has already given a clear direction, and they have begun to move towards the goal.
But Takayuki's proactive leaking of information is really confusing to him.
Only Takayuki himself knows what he wants to do with this.
He needs Suiryu Electronics and other companies to test the waters for player's tolerance. Then he will counterattack accordingly and swallow the biggest cake.
Sometimes being too aggressive and always charging at the forefront is not very wise. At the right time, it's also necessary to retreat appropriately and let others charge ahead for a while.
After all, racing likes to do this, the cars behind the leaders follow closely behind, reducing wind resistance, and preparing to overtake at any time, while the cars in front are always anxious, worrying that their ranking will be overtaken at any time.
