Sixaxis honoured with Emmy?

[pipo]

And 'Sony's PlayStation 3 has also picked up the CES Best of Innovations Award for 2007'...

Errr... More innovative than Wii? Any reports on the reasoning?

I wonder what the going rate is for that kind of award these days

 

[rounin]

I wonder how much that award cost Sony..

Rumble

Where does it say again that it was the sixaxis rather than the PS3 as a product which received this award? As far as I can tell it's about the PS3 as a whole, and if that is the case, then what are we discussing?

 

[Teasy]

The PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller has been honoured with an award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Sony's PlayStation 3 has also picked up the CES Best of Innovations Award for 2007, PC World's 20 Most Innovative Products Award

Two seperate awards, one for the controller and one for the PS3 itself.

Ah, I see you're right. Yes, I guess Nintendo deserved that one.

 

[inefficient]

CES is not about gaming.
Nintendo does not attend CES.
They obviously are not going to win any CES awards.

Err isn't Sony a sponser to one of those..

If so then that might explain the award.

 

[infinity4]

if its to be honoured it has to be wiimote IMO. IMO why would sixaxis, without important rumble for many gamers AND copying wiimote get honoured???

Heh.

Sony Pictures purchased hype for SCEA. What's the big deal?

Joystiq says Sony twisted an award for the dual shock's contribution to technology beyond the classic joystick (Nintendo contribution, the d-pad was also awarded), into an "Emmy for the Six-axis."

PR department out of control?

Who knows.

But seriously, who cares?

Sony wins an award.. Obviously they MUST have bought it.
*Sigh*

Peace.

Actually they didn't win an award, not for the sixaxis anyways
