Wie wir gestern berichteten, konnte Sony auf der diesjährigen CES einen Award für ihren PS3-Controller einfahren. Oder doch nicht?
Wie nämlich heute bekannt wurde, hat nicht der Sixaxis-Controller diesen Award verliehen bekommen, sondern sein Vorgänger, der DualShock. Dies geht aus einer E-Mail der National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) hervor:

[...] This is incorrect, Sony won for their dual shock analog controller. The award is from the Video Game Technology Group. It was nominated by our internal group and considered along with the Nintendo D-Pad both of which were considered Emmy worthy for the development of the generation of controllers that followed the classic joysticks.
I would like to confirm that Sony did not win for their PS3 controller, they won for their Dual Shock Analog controller.[/quote]
Den 'Peripheral Development and Technological Impact of Video Game Controllers'-Award bekam also nicht nur Sony für den DualShock Controller, sondern auch Nintendo für das klassische D-Pad.
