Well, according to Microsoft it does. The Tokyo Game Show this weekend has been a hotbed of Microsoft employee quotables, stats releases and game announcements on how well the Xbox 360 is doing over there. Here they all are in one easily digestible package:
All Sony news
PSP Plus lets you play PSP games with your PS3 controller, eventually
Sony is bringing Sixaxis and Dual Shock 3 compatibility to the PSP, albeit in a very long-winded way. The new PSP Plus system announced at TGS 2008 will let you drop the PSP’s dodgy analogue button thing in favour of proper console controls.
Sony’s iMac-style VAIO JS priced up
We got our first glimpse of Sony’s gorgeous new VAIO JS a few days ago, and now the big S has dished up some pricing info - for the US market, at least. There will be two versions of the comely all-in-one available, with the cheapest JS130 costing a surprisingly affordable $1,099.99 (about £630).
Blu-Ray capacity to double with new lasers
Sony might’ve told us the Blu-Ray format can’t be improved, but that hasn’t stopped Sanyo, which reckons its new lasers could squeeze twice the data onto each disc.

Stat clash: Nintendo DSi vs Sony PSP Slim & Lite vs iPhone 3G
Apple’s iPhone may be forcing its way into the handheld gaming market like the N-Gage never managed, but consoles kings Sony and Nintendo are hitting back, with the Sony PSP 3000 released in a fortnight, and Ninty announcing the new DSi just today.
The iPhone may have top class games like Spore on the system, but can it match up to the re-tooled, reloaded offerings from the Japanese giants? We pit these handheld heroes in a fight to the death to find out.
Sony limited edition Vaio Bond Z Series laptop
Deep down in our hearts, we probably know this is just high end laptop with a 007 logo on it - but that doesn’t stop us getting overly excited about being able to own the very same laptop as James Bond! International espionage has never been so geeky.
