OK, so I think we've finally gotten it officially cleared up. Earlier this week the Nation Academy of Television Arts and Sciences listed Nintendo and Sony as Emmy winners for "Peripheral Development and Technological Impact of Video Game Controllers."

Sony then put out a press release saying their Sixaxis had won. Turns out they jumped to the wrong assumption, it was their quite dated and legally-mired Dualshock that actually won the award. Whoops.

"In a press release dated January 8, 2007, SCEA announced we had been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) with a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for the SIXAXIS wireless controller. Due to miscommunication between the two organizations, this information was incorrectly reported. SCEA won a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for the DUALSHOCK controller.

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused."

OK, so is it stranger when we thought they were winning an Emmy for the Sixaxis or now that we know it's for the Dualshock? Brian Crecente
