"I didn't expect Wujiang Group to be so amazing, improving the optical drive speed by four times. As far as I know, even the inventors of the CD, Philips and Sony, only developed optical drives with a speed of 150kb/s," Ono Ichiro said in a low voice, trying to defend himself.
At that very moment, executives from Sony and Philips were also watching Wujiang's press conference. They never expected that Wujiang Group would be ahead of them in developing a four-times-speed optical drive, and they all found it incredible.
It's quite embarrassing that the inventor of this technology isn't as skilled as an outsider.
Wang Jizhi walked closer to the large screen behind him, pointed to the photos, and introduced, "Look, right at the top center is the CD drive. Open the cover upwards, and there's a round button on the right side of the drive cover. Pressing it will open the drive cover. On the left side of the drive cover are two round buttons, one large and one small. The large button is the power button, used to turn the device on and off. The small button is the warm reset button. Right in front are two gamepad ports, and above each gamepad port is a memory card slot. Right in back are the AV cable and power cable ports. Depending on the model, the number of AV cable ports may vary."
"Oh, by the way, our 'Tomahawk' home game console can also be used as a music CD player. It can play music CDs. Like most CD players, the 'Tomahawk' can shuffle CD songs, play songs in sequence, repeat a single song, or repeat the entire CD. It's a very powerful device..."
Wow, this statement has brought a big surprise to everyone. Now, not only gamers want to buy the "Tomahawk" game console, but even music lovers want to buy it.
In fact, if Wujiang Group wanted to, it could also make the "Tomahawk" play VCD videos, simply by installing an MPEG-1 decoder on the "Tomahawk" motherboard.
However, Zhao Ye did not intend to do that.
If the first-generation "Tomahawk" has too many features, how can it be upgraded and replaced in the future, and how can it bring surprises to consumers?
Therefore, the first-generation "Tomahawk" only had gaming and music functions, but even so, it was enough to amaze the world.
Moreover, selling both the "Tomahawk" and VCDs would be making money twice.
As a major capitalist, Zhao Ye could still distinguish this point.
Of course, the most crucial factor is that none of the current competitors are a match for Wujiang Group.
Many of Nintendo's classic games were hijacked, and its influence and strength are far from enough to compete with Wujiang Group.
In Zhao Ye's view, a company that can compete with Wujiang must meet at least two conditions: first, it must have strong technology, and second, it must have huge capital.
In the future, Sony should be a major concern for Boundless.
If Sony and Nintendo join forces, that would be very tricky.
In its previous life, Nintendo collaborated with Sony in 1989 to develop a CD game console. However, due to this collaboration, Nintendo would lose control and chose to terminate the contract, continuing to develop game cartridges. Sony, thinking, "If you won't cooperate with me, I'll go it alone," eventually led to the PS1 game console. The relationship between Nintendo and Sony, from love to hate, can be described as a dramatic and epic business battle.
This time, however, things are uncertain. After all, Nintendo is in a difficult situation. If it wants to win the market, the best option is to cooperate with Sony and develop a CD game console together.
At the press conference, Wang Jizhi showcased a number of games, including Pokémon II: Classic of Mountains and Seas, Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil, The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure, Final Fantasy II, Calabash Brothers II: Primordial Calabash Vine, Metal Slug, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Crash Bandicoot.
It really excited the players.
They wanted to play every single game.
Wang Jizhi then smiled and said, "With this product launch, Wujiang Games has brought a huge surprise to all gamers. There are over forty games in total, guaranteed to keep players entertained and happy, so much so that they won't get bored even if they play for a whole year!!!"
Next, Wang Jizhi finally announced the price of the "Tomahawk" home game console.
"In the Japanese market, the uniform retail price of the 'Tomahawk' home video game console is ¥1,000, while the price of the game discs ranges from ¥2,500 to ¥3,000!"
"Starting tomorrow at 8:00 AM, the 'Golden Tomahawk' game console and game discs will be officially released throughout Japan!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Jizhi announced the end of the product launch event.
...
...
After the launch event for the Wujiang product, the player community took action.
Although the Tomahawk won't be available until tomorrow, many gamers are already lining up today to be among the first to buy the console.
Otherwise, if the "Tomahawk" game console sells out, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to get one.
Starting in the afternoon, a long queue formed at the Wujiang flagship store. The key point is that they didn't go into the store to buy anything, but instead waited in line to buy the "Tomahawk" game console the next day.
A group of passersby were stunned when they heard the news.
As night deepened, a biting chill set in.
A row of tents stood prominently outside the Wujiang flagship store, creating a spectacular sight that was truly breathtaking!
Not far away, Japanese media reporters also spent the entire night with these crazy game fans.
"This is insane!!! In all my years, I, Hashimoto Toji, have never seen so many people queuing up and setting up tents in the cold of night, just to buy a game console!!!" A middle-aged reporter exclaimed, his expression filled with disbelief.
