Chapter 493: Chapter 166: Climax upon Climax! The Most Explosive Product Launch Event in History!_3

————

Time flew by.

Soon, a new week unfurled its Chapter.

In the past week, SE’s conference had already garnered attention from the outside world.

Their Slover13 had reached an astounding sales figure of 500k+ within just one week!

Raking in a revenue of five billion.

Moreover, other games had gradually landed on Slover13 over the week.

This wave had surely filled SE’s coffers to the brim, with a bright future ahead.

The noise about First Player had considerably died down within the week.

Many people couldn’t even be bothered to pay attention to the upcoming conference anymore.

After all, with SE’s glimmering jewel set as a precedent, how could First Player possibly recreate such a sensational scene?

But what was bound to come, eventually arrived.

A week later, also at eight o’clock in the evening,

First Player’s conference was belatedly underway!

However, before the conference had officially started, at Jianglin’s newest and largest gaming venue, capable of holding 3000 people, the indoor stadium was less than 50% full.

The barrage of comments on the various live broadcast platforms was not that numerous either.

By comparison, it fell short of SE by more than a magnitude.

"If I’m not mistaken, didn’t SE’s live broadcast across all platforms reach a heat of over 50 million last week?" Ling Zhetao still summoned a group of executives and cast this live broadcast in the small conference room.

It didn’t matter whether the outside world was paying attention or not, they, as insiders, had to watch.

"Yes, the peak seemed to have reached 65 million heat, with the number of real-time viewers exceeding 200,000... It’s hard to imagine such fervor for a conference." said someone.

"Currently, First Player’s total live broadcast heat across platforms is only at 5 million. Is it possible for the peak to even reach 30 million?" Meanwhile, at Netcom game, Jia Kuigan also arrived at the meeting room on time, glanced at the heat, then looked at his company’s executives.

"Hard to say..."

"This time, SE has indeed gained the upper hand by striking first, seizing too many opportunities."

The heat of the live broadcast room may not represent everything.

But it was more like a microcosm of outside reactions.

If the number of people watching the live broadcast in real-time was high, then even more people from the outside world would be aware of the event.

"He really dared to hold the conference on time?" At SE Headquarters, a group of executives was also watching this live broadcast in a meeting room.

As competitive companies in the handheld console market, no matter how big their advantage, they still needed to show a modicum of respect when the opponent was about to reveal their hand.

But that respect was minuscule.

"He’s biting the bullet, it seems. If he had delayed, it would’ve made him look even more foolish," someone scoffed.

"Even so, I’m curious about how much pressure this fellow is shouldering to kick off this conference," another person commented playfully.

"By the way, didn’t the president’s speech at the victory banquet last week not provoke any reaction or retaliation from First Player’s side?"

"What face have they got to respond? They must have been scared senseless by Slover13 already. Any response would only make them more embarrassing at the conference."

"Alright, quiet down everyone, the conference is about to start, let’s show some respect to the competition," Hattori Hiroshi, though quieting the executives’ discussions, looked at the projected screen with an unmistakable air of arrogance.

The dark horse of the Huaxia gaming industry?

I’ll see how far you’re able to go!

Soon, the lighting at the conference venue dimmed, and the murmurs in the room subsided.

A spotlight illuminated the stage as the curtain was drawn.

To everyone’s puzzlement,

The main presenter for First Player had not appeared.

Not to mention Ke Jin, who was the golden signboard representing First Player.

Even executives from within the company were absent from the stage.

Behind the drawn curtains was just a large screen.

On the silver screen, the first game by First Player, "Origin of Species," was slowly playing.

Then, the camera cut to "Iwanna."

Following that were "Goblin Pinball," "Urban Skyline," "Wind Traveler"...

By quickly flashing through, all the games released by First Player in the past three years were presented one by one, in full.

Until the screen for the most recent game three months ago, "Cloud Top," was shown.

Suddenly, a petite girl with a sweet and cute face, dressed in a JK outfit with black boots and white stockings, appeared in the middle of the big screen.

She was seen stretching out her arms with determination, clenching her teeth, stopping every three steps, pushing the screen of "Cloud Top" away with difficulty as if moving boxes.

Now, all that was left on the screen was a blank canvas and this charming girl.

Soon after, she reached out once more, pulling over another piece of the graphical landscape like sliding a panel door, accompanied by a ’click’ sound.

The new image completely replaced the blank space and her figure, fitting snugly onto the silver screen.

All the games that had briefly flashed by were now quickly converging, eventually merging into a compact gaming console.

The name "Switch lite" was also revealed.

This hinted that other games previously released by First Player would be ported into this console named Switch.

At that moment, it triggered a buzz among the audience, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room began to roll.

"Holy moly! Isn’t that First Player’s Chief Beauty Miss Sister?"

"Raindrop Yu, is it?"

"Baby Yu is so cute, pinch!"

"Damn! So the previous games can be played on the handheld too, yeah? Interesting, meow."

"Here it comes, here it comes! The handheld I’ve been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived! I’ve been holding off on buying a Slover13 just to see what surprises Baby Ke could bring."

"Don’t disappoint me!"
