probably paid for by the money Microsoft gave them
That is quite shocking that the sixaxis won the award, I think it should go to Nintendo hands down, I don't own a Wii but have played one and the controller is innovative and most excellent

They have lost the case some thing like 3 times now but sony keep appealing the decision, right now I think sony own them somewhere in the region of 150 million dollars.
America and there endless appeal system you got to love it.
As for the award and the statement to go with it, it like a sony pr rep wrote it himself, there is so much bs in that statement.

Sony has reportedly LIED about the PS3 controller winning an emmy award from NATAS. Christine Chin has reportedly commented Sony won the award for their DUAL SHOCK Analog Controller from the Video Game Technology Group which was put forward by the NATAS internal group. So first we had the fake PSP blog and now this...

UPDATE 2: A follow up message from Christine Chin from NATAS tells us Sony has it all wrong. The award was for the original dual shock controller. Here is her message in full:

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.
So there you have it. This makes a lot more sense, and Sony's press release was flat out incorrect. Best case, an error. Worst case...
