The initial production cost of CD-ROMs was relatively high, with each CD-ROM costing approximately $3.

In the future, with the improvement of production scale and production technology, the production cost of CD-ROM will be greatly reduced, and the profit opportunity will become quite considerable.

"By the way, these new games can be ported to arcades, they'll definitely be a huge hit!" Zhao Ye advised.

"clear."

Wang Jizhi nodded with a smile; he had already had this idea.

"Alright, let's do it that way. Mr. Wang, you can go ahead and get busy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jizhi nodded and then took his leave of Zhao Ye.

The following day, Wujiang Games announced that it would soon hold a product launch event to release a 16-bit home game console.

This news immediately caused a huge sensation in the industry.

Global media outlets seem to have grasped the secret to generating buzz, vying to report on the story, even though they don't know what the game console produced by Wujiang looks like. This doesn't stop them from fabricating stories. As the saying goes, "One picture to start, the rest is all made up," and the current situation is largely the same.

Countless gamers were ecstatic.

"Great! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

As soon as I saw Sega announce the 16-bit home video game console MD, I guessed that Wujiang would also release a 16-bit console. Given Wujiang Group's technological advantages, this 16-bit console is sure to be a huge surprise!

"When Wujiang releases its 16-bit game console, there will definitely be new games available. I'm looking forward to it!"

"From now on, I'm going to save money, save money, and save some more money! Waaah, I'm going to do everything I can to buy the game 'Boundless'..."

"..."

Wujiang boasts a large number of classic games, which is undeniable. However, it's also undeniable that Wujiang's games are expensive.

Therefore, many gamers knew they were going to have to spend a lot of money again when they learned that Wujiang was going to release a new game console.

I couldn't help it, I just couldn't resist.

Even if it meant scrimping and saving, enduring hardship, they would save money to buy Wujiang's game console and game cartridges. (At this time, no one knew that Wujiang was already using CD-ROMs as its game storage medium.)

Soon, it was March 1, 1989.

This is a day that everyone has been looking forward to.

Wang Jizhi had already arrived in Tokyo, and the product launch was arranged at a high-end hotel in Akihabara, Tokyo.

Japan is one of Wujiang Games' main markets. Wujiang Group does not sell games in China, so it did not choose to hold the press conference in China.

On this day, Akihabara was packed with people and bustling with activity. Countless Japanese game fans came here, eager to be among the first to learn about the details of the Wujiang product launch event.

Of course, the press conference will also be broadcast live by TV Tokyo, so people can watch it and learn about Wujiang's product launch.

Around 10 a.m., Wang Jizhi, dressed in a suit and tie, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the product launch event of Wujiang Games. I am Wang Jizhi, the general manager of Wujiang Games!"

Wang Jizhi bowed to the crowd as he introduced himself.

"Today, our Wujiang Games Company will launch a groundbreaking game product!"

"That's Wujiang's latest masterpiece—'Tomahawk'!!!"

As soon as Wang Jizhi finished speaking, a picture of the "Tomahawk" home video game console appeared on the large screen behind him!

Everyone present gasped in amazement at what they saw.

It's simply because this photo is truly beautiful, like a work of art.

Judging from the photos, the "Tomahawk" is very thin and light, all white, simple and stylish, and full of technological feel. However, what's a bit puzzling is the circular cover in the middle, with the sides closed; where would you insert a game cartridge?

Wang Jizhi pointed to the photo of the "Tomahawk" and introduced it: "This is the 'Tomahawk' developed by our company. It measures 193x38x144 millimeters and weighs about 560 grams. It is extremely light and thin!"

The thinner and lighter it is, the better, as it saves materials and reduces costs.

Of course, this requires a high level of technical expertise.

Fortunately, Wujiang Group eventually succeeded.

Industry insiders were shocked upon hearing this, as it demonstrated the "Tomahawk's" extremely high integration, which allowed it to be so thin and light...

"That's incredible!"

"Wujiang Group's technology is getting more and more impressive!"

"I'm getting more and more excited to see just how powerful the Tomahawk's hardware configuration really is..."
