I' m not one to complain about copying (I just like good games, me) but surely it was undeserving of such an award?

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Do we really care that they got an emmy?

Or MS got one for XBL?

Or wii for technology?

They donjt know a shit about games there,and can stfu.

I would agree with Quez on this one. The awards they give out, really only matter to people who don' t matter to the industry.

I will cry the day I see someone go in and buy a console because it got an Emmy and another one didn' t.

No it' s not, it' s to make people aware that the gaming industry is seen as an entertainment industry which is on par with theatre,TV and the movies. Gamers should look at this and embrace the idea of there now being credibility for what we like to spend our free time doing, we are no longer seen as geeks or nerds anymore.

Quez I wish you would STFU and think before you reply. You annoying pixie

Game industry will at least not in the next 3 years have a decent " award" for it. Emmy is really worth nothing at the moment. Only time I think of Emmy' s are when I think of Television. Aside from that there is no meaning to the award.

I' m going to have to go with alijay034 on this one. Anytime the mainstream chooses to honor gaming, I' m all for it.
The opinion of the mainstream DOES matter.

Yeah, gyro has been around forever, but until the Wii, who gave a shit?

Sometimes we all need to just get off our high horses, accept the compliment to the indusry and move the fuck on.

I wish more academies would give honours to the gaming industry. The Bafta' s were spot on with their choices last year and they used gaming industry insider to help decide.


Quezcatol You are so right I know nothing and I bow to your greatness of being all knowing.

I think they messed up on the emmy, I think they ment to put " Sony gets an award for finally giving the controller a damn trigger instead of buttons with no sensativity, too bad they didnt fix the retarded crippling grip

Turns out Sixaxis didnt get an emmy, Sony assumed that was why


We weren' t sure why the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences decided to give Sony' s evolutionary SIXAXIS controller a Technology and Engineering Emmy and, evidently, neither were they. After Sony blasted out a press release proudly proclaiming the honor -- and after the internet rubbed its collective eyes raw -- we' ve learned that Sony wasn' t alone in receiving an honor from the Academy. The list of Emmy Award winners for " Peripheral Development and Technological Impact of Video Game Controllers" include Sony Computer Entertainment of America and ... Nintendo! Did Nintendo' s innovative Wiimote share the honor with the motion-sensing SIXAXIS? Not quite ... Séamus at Hydrapinion did some legwork and discovered that, while Sony had won an Emmy for Technology and Engineering, it wasn' t for the SIXAXIS. Instead, Christine Chin from NATAS confirmed that Sony' s Dual Shock as well as Nintendo' s D-Pad (NES pad?) won " for the development of the generation of controllers that followed the classic joysticks." Oops! You know what they say happens when you assume ...

OMG that is hilarious...hahaha I thought giving an award to a copycat was a little screwed up. :P Dual shock rightly deserves it though.
