Chapter 475: Chapter 163: Specialization in Professional Skills, Taking Advantage of the East Wind! Delivering a Small Shock of Performance to Players!_3

Handheld consoles, handheld consoles, always in the palm of your hand.

Whether it’s a PC or a home console, with such large spaces, upgrading performance is quite convenient.

But the realm of a handheld console is only this big, once you exceed a certain size, it can no longer be called a handheld.

And there’s a difference between handheld consoles and smartphones.

Smartphones, for the sake of portability and sleek design, do not have built-in space for a cooling system.

This leads to the fact that no matter how the smartphone evolves, unless it breaks through the nano-level ceiling and the manufacturing process reaches the quantum level, the gaming experience will always be subpar.

Handheld consoles are slightly better than smartphones, but not much better, trying to fit a cooling system as well as a high-capacity battery with long endurance into limited space—which is another calculation for space distribution.

This means that.

The Slover13 released by SE is almost the limit of current technology.

It is to the extent that other competitors look at it and run as far as they can in fear.

In the initial promotional activities this month, SE has also called it "the next-generation gaming console that will lead the trend," oozing confidence in every word and attracting countless gamers’ attention and expectations.

"This kid... does he know who he is up against in the ring..." After gathering information, Zhou Weiyi couldn’t help squeezing out a cold sweat.

With East Intelligence’s technology, these little things are not impossible to manufacture.

But the problem is.

East Intelligence only made contact with Head player headquarters a couple of days ago.

And the other party declared war on SE half a month ago...

Which means, even without the support of East Intelligence or if this cooperation fails, does Ke Jin truly believe that the handheld console he wants to make can compete with Slover13?

It all seems a bit unrealistic...

"I don’t know whether to say you are young and reckless, or you have full confidence."

"Since that’s the case, let me see what kind of magic potion you’re selling in that gourd of yours." Zhou Weiyi’s interest was indeed piqued by his trip to Jianglin.

He was eager to know what kind of design concept would give Ke Jin so much confidence.

And whether these design concepts were worth East Intelligence’s investment.

...

Before long, the plane arrived on time.

The company car from Head player headquarters was also parked at the airport gate well in advance.

Ke Jin, accompanied by his driver, quickly approached and exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Weiyi before taking him steadily to Head player headquarters.

Upon entering, Zhou Weiyi was captivated by the thick gaming element style of Head player headquarters.

Wherever his eyes looked, various game styles were cleverly integrated with the company’s overall layout, as if immersing him right into the games (the layout of Head player headquarters was described in Chapter 126, hence it is not detailed here).

Soon, Ke Jin invited Zhou Weiyi into the VIP reception room.

Secretary Qiao Yuan brewed a few cups of fine tea.

Zhou Weiyi got straight to the point.

"Mr. Ke, I have a lot of work to attend to, so without further delay, shall we begin?"

Ke Jin, on the other hand, being cautious, asked an additional question.

"Is East Intelligence Technology sure that it can handle the manufacturing of a gaming handheld console?"

This question managed to make Zhou Weiyi laugh. He glanced at his secretary, and the two exchanged a look, their eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

This brat, who is he underestimating!

It seems you really don’t understand how well-known East Intelligence Technology is on the outside!

"Of course, if Mr. Ke presents a compelling proposal, East Intelligence Technology will definitely give you a satisfactory response, as a gesture for our first collaboration."

His enthusiastic response only made Ke Jin more curious.

There was no helping it, for a company that was completely out of East Intelligence’s league.

The warmer the reception, the more Ke Jin felt like it was a trap...

But considering Zhou Weiyi, as the head of East Intelligence’s technology department, was a big shot whose name appeared in the news many times, and now he was personally standing in front of him.

It was highly unlikely that he would fly all the way here just to play a prank.

Therefore, Ke Jin temporarily set aside his suspicion.

He slowly turned on the projector.

For this cooperation, Ke Jin had prepared some materials.

He had the programming department create a 3D modeling scene demonstration based on the Switch’s design concept.

Soon, the lights dimmed in the room, and the projector shone onto the big screen in the conference room.

A double handheld game console, appearing to be a mere 7 inches in size, was displayed.

Its name was—Switch.

At first glance, this console looked quite ordinary.

Just as Zhou Weiyi focused his gaze, he realized.

emmm...

This console was indeed very ordinary.

Pure black exterior, the most left of the console had a joystick and a few small buttons, also what players commonly referred to as the joystick.

In the middle, there was a screen of less than 7 inches, and on the right was another joystick and a few groups of buttons.

The overall design resembled two semicircles clasping a rectangle.

A cursory glance over...

Zhou Weiyi’s gaze slightly disappointed.

Before coming here, he had seen the final concept images of the Slover13.

If this horizontal, double-holding design concept of the Switch was released at the same time as the Slover12,

it might have had some novelty.

Because at this time, the handheld consoles on the market still retained the vertical style of the last century’s video game consoles/game kings.

If the Switch had been the first to introduce a horizontal version, reducing the vertical grip strength required by players, making it more comfortable to play, it would have definitely been a selling point.

But I’m sorry...

Slover13 has already revolutionized into horizontal mode... and it’s even going to be released in three months. Your product hasn’t even been finalized yet, and it’s still just a design model.
