PlayStation2 Looms Large At Tokyo Game Show

Saturday, April 1, 2000

TOKYO (Nikkei)--Tokyo Game Show 2000 opened Friday at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba Prefecture, with 66 companies exhibiting some 400 products.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.'s PlayStation2, which made its debut on March 4, was a major presence, with more than 40% of the products on display targeted at the popular new console.

Rival Sega Enterprises Ltd. (7964) showcased its Dreamcast console, which enables multiple players to interact over the Internet. "An experiment with a fiber-optic network linking video arcades in Tokyo will be conducted in July, and we plan to launch a commercial version covering a dozen or so game centers around the country by year-end," said Sega President Shoichiro Irimajiri.

Microsoft Corp. hosted a gathering to introduce the X-Box, which the U.S. firm expects to debut in the fall of 2001.

The trade show is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday. As many as 150,000 game fans are expected to attend over the weekend.
