Sony rides high in year of the box

IN the vast halls of Makuhari Messe, a convention centre just outside Tokyo, a crowd is watching hunky soldiers jumping, running and shooting all at once across the snow in pursuit of an elusive enemy.

Nearby, graphically recreated beauties doing somersaults and slaying dragons compete for attention with racing cars making hair-raising turns through breathtaking scenery.

Video game players from all over the world had a field day this month at the Tokyo Game Show, where the who's who of the world's 3100 billion yen ($35.4 billion) video games industry gathered to show their fare.
