Chapter 491: Chapter 166: Climax upon Climax! The Most Explosive Product Launch Event in History!_1

A day had passed since the SE press conference.

The superior performance and high-quality promotional trailer of Slover13 successfully attracted many gamers to SE.

On the first day, sales soared past 10,000+, and the cartridge/digital version of "Legend of the Giraril Continent," priced at 699 per copy, sold a similar number.

Even with just a hundred or two hundred profit per handheld console, combined with the flagship title’s 10,000+ sales.

SE’s turnover on the first day broke through the hundred million mark!

Moreover.

The more important significance was.

It established SE’s monopolistic position in the handheld console market.

As long as my console is recognized by users, will I worry about not receiving a protection fee from other game manufacturers?

Do your factories want to join the handheld area where people are stupid and have lots of money to make a killing?

Want to?

Well then, first pay a channel fee for our exclusive SE platform.

To celebrate the grand success of the first day,

SE Headquarters hosted a celebration banquet.

Festive banners were raised, reading ’Congratulations Slover13 on selling one hundred thousand units on the first day, leading the new era of handheld consoles!’

Amidst the sky filled with small fireworks blooming with ’bang, bang’ sounds, glasses of champagne collided, creating a ’ding-dong’ clinking sound.

Surrounded by the crowd, Hattori Hiroshi accepted interviews from journalists who were invited to the celebration.

When asked ’how do you view the upcoming handheld console press conference by Huaxia Nation’s top player game company in a few days,’

Hattori Hiroshi’s face beamed with a slightly tipsy smile as he said.

"Madam, this is the first time I’ve heard about a company called Top Player from you."

"It’s certainly a good thing that the young successors also want to share in the handheld market."

"But my advice is, young people, first learn to be steady. Do not engage in reckless actions that disrespect your elders."

"Otherwise, you will end up in a very embarrassing situation."

Although he was smiling, his words were full of arrogance, like that of an elder scolding a junior.

It was clear to anyone with discernment that Hattori Hiroshi had certainly heard of Top Player before.

And he was aware of the incidents that had transpired between Silver Brilliance and Top Player in Huaxia Nation.

Otherwise, in line with SE’s previous patterns, the performance of Slover13 would have needed iterative upgrades to at least Slover20 for implementation.

Soon, Hattori Hiroshi’s sharp critique also spread quickly, causing quite a stir throughout the East Asia gaming community.

However, given the huge success of SE’s press conference,

The reputation among the gaming community in East Asia was almost unanimously in favor of SE.

"I feel Slover13 is a bit too powerful, and Top Player’s technical capabilities just can’t match it, okay?"

"President Hattori must be secretly annoyed at home; had he known it would be this popular, he wouldn’t have released such a good console. He could’ve waited for a few more iterations, haha."

"Thanks to Top Player for letting us play Slover13! If it weren’t for them, would we still be playing an upgraded version of the 12th generation?"

"Looking at it from this angle, does Top Player also serve a purpose?"

"One can only say, SE is taking Top Player too seriously! They’ve overdone it!"

"What are all of you talking about? Top Player hasn’t even had their press conference yet; why the doom and gloom? Maybe they have more surprises in store? /wwwww"

"You might as well believe I’m Oda Nobunaga."

...

Meanwhile, Ke Jin, at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion,

showed no signs of disturbance.

He had even placed an order for a Slover13 + "Legend of the Giraril Continent" bundle package.

After including international tax, it cost Ke Jin nearly 7,000 yuan.

"I must say, these gamers’ money is really easy to make, if only I were a bit more unscrupulous..." The international express air transport allowed Ke Jin to receive the package on the following day, and facing the expensive price, he couldn’t help but sigh.

If he were a bit more unscrupulous, raising the price of each game double or even several times higher, he might not just be talking about the Silver Brilliance division.

His own company would have expanded to Neon by now, and SE Headquarters’ living environment might even feel some pressure.

After all, considering the Blue Star game market three years ago was filled with shoddy games.

He didn’t even need to offer a pot of pork ribs.

A dish of Mapo tofu alone could conquer the gamers, then sell at an exorbitant price, and a bunch of Blue Star gamers used to eating chaff would still pay up.

But that would violate his ideals, which Ke Jin despised.

Shaking his head, he discarded the distracting thoughts from his mind.

Ke Jin began unboxing.

The moment Slover13 was in hand, Ke Jin’s brows slightly furrowed.

Just one word.

Heavy.

It was like holding two bricks in hand.

Though the screen size had indeed increased, the overly heavy hand-feel would make a gamer’s arms sore if they played while lying in bed and cause back and waist pain if they played while lying on the stomach.

As for sitting up...

If I’m going to sit up, why don’t I just turn on my damn computer and enjoy the higher settings?

"This design... it’s a wonder they could come up with it, probably just taking advantage of other handheld manufacturers not being up to par."

Ke Jin shook his head, then inserted the cartridge of "Legend of the Giraril Continent."

As an exclusive title safeguarding Slover13,

If this "Gilralel" really turned out to be a masterpiece among masterpieces, it could indeed convince gamers.

After all, considering the old Nintendo in the previous life, consoles with 720P+30fps specs plus taxes sold for 2,500 yuan.

They dared to charge that much, and gamers had to buy it; the Zelda Launcher was not called that for nothing.

Six years’ time and they managed to sell 120 million units, their success was undeniable.

However,

after half an hour of trying out the game,

Ke Jin put it down.

The expression on his face gradually changed from ’It’s impressive that a Blue Star game manufacturer could develop a seemingly decent game, not bad’ to ’an old man’s smartphone.’
