Chapter 826 Strange game console
826
"This is the latest game console we launched, and the name of this game console is Switch. It is a brand new attempt for us. I hope everyone will like it."
…
"Is this... a game console? It feels weird."
"Yeah, it looks a bit nondescript."
"Don't say that, this is a game console created by Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Even if it's weird, it's not a big problem, because there must be awesome games announced."
"That's right, no matter what the console looks like, the game itself is the most important thing."
At this moment, Hayazawa Airi didn't know how the players who were watching the live broadcast would react.
The video of the face-to-face meeting was recorded a few days ago, but because she was too nervous, she didn't dare to watch her live broadcast.
I really didn't expect that I would be so nervous, even though I was fine during the previous filming.
And precisely because she didn't have the first time, she didn't see those voices with doubts.
Players and people in many industries are a little confused.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment actually developed a handheld.
Originally, some people in the industry thought that this was the wrong revelation of some uncle party.
But this is actually a false revelation, because people can also have the function of a home computer.
Then this game console can also function as a home console. Does that mean that the latest home console GSX of Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not be developed again?
So they still need to continue to develop high-quality games?
The game console this time is indeed very unconventional. Many game consoles in the past have a relatively regular appearance, but this time it looks like this, and the screen is super big, and it doesn’t have the unique attributes of portability at all.
No one wants to carry such a big guy in their pocket, it's like a brick.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment What kind of strange thing did this come up with.
In the video, Airi Hayazawa introduced this latest game console with a smile, presenting the design of the switch’s separate handle, the motion sensor design, and several new gameplay functions.
Through the separate handle this time, it looks smaller than the separate handle of the home machine in the past, and it can be held directly in the hand without feeling awkward.
She personally showed a video game called 12switch in front of the video. In this game, she fully demonstrated the functions of this brand new handheld.
This is not just to show players how to play the game, but also to show game developers the features of this game console, so that they can use these functional products more conveniently in future game development.
"Huh? This 12switch seems to be okay."
"Look, this game seems to be said to come with the game console for free, so you can try this game if you buy it."
"But... still weird."
After a general introduction of the functions and simple gameplay, Hayazawa Airi said: "I know that what everyone should look forward to most is the game itself, so I won't continue to introduce these functions and basic gameplay here."
"Come here, here comes the main dish!"
Game consoles are weird, but with a good game, everything is a cloud, and this is what players pay most attention to, so players also refocus.
Ueto Hayakawa also raised some spirits.
He was also confused by the appearance of this new game console, and he didn't know what to say.
This is indeed a brand-new appearance that has never been touched before, and I don’t know whether this brand-new appearance can be generally accepted by players.
"The president, the feedback in the comment area and related forums are now questioning the appearance of this game console. It seems that this time Youxing Electronic Entertainment may be about to stumble."
Hayakawa Ueto's subordinates said with a little gloating expression.
Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "It's hard to say now, this game machine can only say that the start is not particularly good."
Competing with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for so many years, Hayakawa Ueto has long since believed that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can stumble so easily.
For more than ten years so far, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has hardly encountered any problems in this area. They have been going smoothly all the way, and failure seems to never happen to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
And his subordinates are newcomers who have just been promoted, so they still don't understand the time when they competed with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The feedback from the forum and the live broadcast comments was also handed over to Zhu Youxing himself for review, but Zhu Youxing's reaction to this was relatively indifferent.
Think game consoles are weird? That's right.
I'm sorry for the appearance of this game console if I don't blame it.
I think that in the original world, Switch also had a lot of criticism at the beginning.
But what about the end result? Switch directly ruled the market of home game consoles by relying on its weak performance.
The other two game consoles rely more on top-notch picture quality and production to compete with the switch. As for the competition in gameplay, there is no hope at all.
Nintendo in this period has almost no shortcomings except for the poor quality of the game.
Many people have also said that if Nintendo improves the performance of the game console to another level, so that the switch has a picture quality comparable to PS4, it will be a blow to the game consoles in the same period, and I am afraid that the sales will be even higher. soared.
But at that time, Nintendo experienced a round of huge failures, and did not dare to easily set foot in more fields. Instead, it seemed wiser to stick to the switch itself, and it turned out that they were right.
Nintendo itself has only so many game employees, and rashly increasing the performance of the game console is also increasing the workload of the employees, and the result may not be very good at that time.
Increased workload is equivalent to stifled creativity, so there should be nothing wrong with Nintendo's choice at the time.
However, the development speed of game industrialization was a bit frighteningly fast.
After 2017 in the original world, the picture quality of the game industry has been greatly improved, and the game development efficiency has also been greatly improved, making the switch look worse and worse. In 2017, the game console was still good enough.
However, none of these problems exist.
To this day, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has more than 10,000 employees worldwide, and is now heading towards 20,000.
These are basically real game developers, not the tens of thousands of employees that some other technology companies rely on complex technology departments and projects.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has more than 10,000 game development employees.
Such a huge group of employees would not worry about Nintendo's problems at all.
