Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 883: I Am Willing to Do Anything

Every year, Christmas is a peak period for video game sales.

If there's a new console or a new game release, Christmas often sees sales that are much higher than at any other time of year.

People are generally more generous during this time.

Unless you are a top-tier game company like Gamestar Electronic Entertainment, no one would easily miss the Christmas season for releasing a game.

During this period, countless game companies go crazy trying to secure even a small chance for exposure.

Advertising costs are also the highest at this time.

At this very moment, a game is being displayed on the big screen in Times Square, New York.

"The latest release in the Sun Knight series is receiving great reviews! Welcome to the adventure world of Sun Knight!"

...

...

"The game will be available on PC platforms and SuRi Electronics' first-party home console platforms!"

After more than a decade of operation, the Sun Knight series had become a flagship product for SuRi Electronics.

The latest release in the Sun Knight series this year was highly anticipated by SuRi Electronics.

Because of their partnership with Gamestar Electronic Entertainment, Takayuki didn't release his company's popular games during this period, giving his partner the opportunity to make money and to collectively fight against Micfo, the U.S. company.

To that end, SuRi Electronics spent twice as much on promotional efforts as they usually did to secure more advertising space and block Micfo's advertising channels.

On Christmas Eve, Sun Knight delivered an outstanding result.

The first-day sales exceeded 2 million copies.

This was a historic breakthrough for SuRi Electronics.

Aside from Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's games, it was rare for games from other companies to achieve sales over a million copies on their first day.

Breaking the 2 million mark on day one was even more of an unreachable dream.

But this time, SuRi Electronics had finally broken through their own limitations, joining the ranks of the 2 million club on day one.

The biggest factor was, of course, the holiday season and the aggressive promotional investment.

And with joy for some, there was sadness for others.

Micfo's MK series smartphones saw their first decline in sales during a Christmas holiday season.

In the past, they had always sold over a million units globally during the holiday season, but this year, they didn't reach that milestone.

Additionally, Myron Case's consistently high PC sales were continuing to plummet.

At this point, he finally understood the enormous influence video games could have.

Micfo's smartphones had rich entertainment content.

However, the most popular games and apps were not available on Micfo's platform.

Facebook, as the largest social platform, also refused to log onto Micfo's smartphones; to use it, you had to access through a browser, which provided a terrible experience.

Meanwhile, Facebook's own smartphone offered the best experience.

To avoid accusations of monopolizing, Facebook also released corresponding social apps for smartphones and PC operating systems from the Morgan Group.

But Micfo didn't receive better support, which subtly discouraged more people from using Micfo's products.

Even though Micfo's products looked cooler, it was like Sony's phones in the original world—pretty, but not very useful.

No matter how unique the design philosophy was, no matter how good the performance and features were, if the software and games that people wanted weren't available, they would immediately abandon it.

Micfo wasn't without its own game development teams and software developers.

But how could one company compete with the joint forces of SuRi Electronics, Facebook, and the Morgan Group?

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

And at the heart of it all was Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

As a result, things weren't going well for Micfo.

Christmas passed, but Micfo's troubles weren't over.

Because just after the hype for SuRi Electronics' Sun Knight began to subside and the number of people buying consoles and PCs started to decrease, Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's game was released.

And this game was the one that players had been eagerly waiting for: Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Myron Case still vividly remembered the reaction of players at the Gamestar Carnival last year when the Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer was shown.

They looked as if they were experiencing the happiest thing in the world. Many players wore radiant smiles and screamed in excitement.

This was the power of a series. No matter how hard Micfo tried, it couldn't close the gap so quickly.

Even if the games Micfo made were masterpieces, players still naturally favored Final Fantasy.

The new year of 2014 had just arrived, and Final Fantasy VII Remake was released on schedule.

"Boss, I've got the game you wanted."

At Micfo's headquarters, an employee brought the freshly purchased Final Fantasy VII Remake to Myron Case.

"Put it in the console. I want to see what's so special about this game that so many players adore."

Myron Case was very reluctant.

He had heard of the Final Fantasy franchise for a long time.

However, he had always been biased against video games, only wanting to play Tetris and nothing else.

But this time, he broke his own rule.

On the day Final Fantasy VII was released, the sales of his MK smartphones and his own PC products plummeted again.

If he had previously thought the decline was due to the quality and performance of his products, now he was sure that video games were one of the major reasons for the drop in sales.

He had almost forgotten that it was his MK smartphones' portability and multi-functional features that had led to the collapse of the traditional handheld gaming industry.

But now, not long later, Gamestar Electronic Entertainment, with its coalition, had taken back the market that originally belonged to him with video games.

He was frustrated. How could video games do this?

It wasn't that his products weren't excellent, it was that his competitors were better.

He just wanted to see for himself what was so magical about video games, and why they could reclaim the market.

The employee obediently inserted the Final Fantasy VII Remake disc into the console. Then, Myron Case watched as the familiar melody played, and the employee couldn't help but hum along to the tune.

"Do you really like this game?" Myron Case noticed the employee's reaction and asked.

"Uh, sorry, boss, I couldn't help myself..."

"It's fine. What I really want to know is, do you like this game?"

The employee hesitated for a moment, but then nodded vigorously. "I really like it. I love it so much that if I could play this game, I'd do anything."
