During this period, the sales of Youxing Electronic Entertainment have grown significantly.

These are the feedback brought by the expansion of new players.

This ground push also proved its success.

However, this kind of ground push also has some disadvantages, that is, the cost paid is not low.

It took more than 300 million US dollars to carry out such a large-scale ground promotion activity all over the world.

This money can make a top game like GTA5.

More than 300 million US dollars has almost increased tens of millions of players, and the conversion rate is actually not as much as imagined.

However, these players can continue to bring consumption to video games in the future. Zhu Youxing does not expect these players to pay back their own money now, but to slowly put in a long-term game to catch big fish.

Get them to like video games first, and the rest will be easy.

"Zhuyou, the Switch system has been completely completed!"

In the middle of 2009, Hayazawa Airi finally brought good news to Takeyusei.

In terms of system and hardware, the switch is almost done now.

And if it goes well, the product may be officially released by the beginning of next year.

After many discussions with chip manufacturers and the reduction of its own costs, the manufacturing cost of the switch was reduced to about 200 US dollars.

Because the chip performance required by the handheld does not need to be top-notch, the most important thing is stability and heat dissipation, so the total cost of the chip is not high.

And one more thing to be happy about is that the flash memory technology of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has become more and more mature.

Up to now, the flash memory factory purchased by Youxing Electronic Entertainment has developed the latest generation of cassette storage media.

This carrier can already compress the capacity of a 64GB high-speed cassette to a cost of only thirteen or fourteen dollars.

According to Zhuyouxing's prediction, the maximum capacity of a single game carried by this generation of Switch can reach more than 200GB, which is almost the capacity only possible for the top 3A masterpieces.

The upper limit of this capacity is quite sufficient.

And in terms of performance, the switch on hand of Zhuyouxing can also be close to the level of the original PS4 in the world, and the picture quality has been greatly improved.

This is much stronger than the switch in the original world.

In the original world, Zhu Youxing often complained about the weak performance of the switch, which made every game he played was a Goujaga mosaic.

Although Nintendo mainly takes the gameplay route and is not good at image quality, who wouldn't want better image quality based on gameplay?

And Zhuyouxing has already made a plan for the next switch handheld.

Three years after the release, the performance of the switch game console can be improved to another level, that is, a switch pro version can be developed to complete the regret that the world itself has never experienced.

Zhu Youxing took the almost complete Switch handheld, tried to play the high-definition version of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, and was very satisfied.

Airi Hayazawa hurriedly asked from the side: "How about Bamboo Tour? Is it possible that such a game console will be put on the market?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "In my opinion, there is no problem at all. It seems that we can prepare a new face-to-face meeting and fully announce this game console."

"Great, Zhuyou, let me tell you that I have been waiting for this time for a long time."

"Wait this time?"

Hayazawa Airi said with some embarrassment: "Well, I actually have a request from Takeyu, that is, if possible, I hope that I can personally introduce this game console, is it possible?"

Zhu Youxing reacted: "Do you want to host this face-to-face meeting?"

Hayazawa Airi nodded: "That's right, I have put a lot of effort into this switch, so I really want to announce this game console to the players personally, do you think it will work?"

Zhu Youxing said: "This is really rare. You used to not seem to be able to do this kind of thing. I thought you would prefer to stand behind the scenes, because you have never participated in a face-to-face meeting, and I even invited you to come. Do you remember?"

Hayazawa Airi nodded and said: "I really prefer to stay behind the scenes, but do you know Takeyu? For more than ten years, I have been doing one thing, creating game consoles, and creating All kinds of things related to games. In a certain period of time, I have regarded video games as the most precious existence like you. Just like a child, I like the things I create more and more, so, I want to introduce this console to everyone as a parent, and I want to..."

Zhu Youxing smiled and said: "Yes, I agree. This time you will host the face-to-face meeting. As one of the creators of this game console, you are qualified to be the host introducing this game console."

Hayazawa Airi's eyes lit up.

Although she is already in her thirties and has long since lost the character of a little girl, she looks extraordinarily radiant today.

"Thank you, Takeyu." Hayazawa Airi said very sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me, you deserve it."

Takeyuho re-handed the switch prototype to Hayazawa Airi and said: "Then you should prepare well during this time. There are a lot of trivial things to do when hosting the face-to-face meeting, so don't be embarrassed."

"good!"

Hayazawa Airi took over the switch prototype, and she has already begun to conceive in her mind the scene where she will host the face-to-face meeting in the future.

Now that the host has been handed over to Hayazawa Airi, Takeyuho doesn't think about it anymore, and it just so happens that he can be a hands-off shopkeeper.

However, this does not mean that he can completely relax.

Switch is currently a product that Zhuyouxing is more concerned about. It is definitely not enough to promote it through face-to-face meetings. Next, Zhuyouxing plans to use other methods to promote it well.

In what way?

Zhu Youxing thought for a moment, and then thought of a way.

Announce Uncharted and several games that are being prepared for production, and use the real machine demonstration of switch to promote it.

A sharp-eyed person may be able to spot the clue immediately, allowing people to guess for themselves, forming enough suspense.

But these are not enough, Zhu Youxing thinks there should be some big news.

For example, make a DEMO of a real open world game.

Zelda Breath of the Wild, and... GTA.

One is to be produced by a team from Japan, and the other GTA is to be produced by an American development team who is more familiar with the American local market.

After so many years of accumulated experience, although there is still a long way to go before reaching the standard in Zhu Youxing’s heart, it is not a problem to produce some results now. I will show the world a complete open world game in the follow-up game demo. how is it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing still has some small expectations. He is also looking forward to how the players' reactions will be when the demos of GTA and Breath of the Wild are announced.
