According to GamesIndustry.biz, Sony seems to have been honored with numerous awards at the Consumer Electronics Show this year. Not only was the SIXAXIS awarded by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Sony itself received the “Technology and Engineering Emmy Award” as SCEA CEO Jack Tretton stepped up with the familiar Sony ramblings we’ve all come to love and expect:
“The overwhelming consumer demand and critical acclaim for PS3 is testament of the platform’s strength and the industry’s desire for a true next-generation entertainment system,” commented Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
“The full potential of this powerful machine has yet to be realised. What you’ve seen so far is just a taste of what will be on the table for 2007 and years to come,” he added.
In addition to this, Sony has also picked up the “CES Best of Innovations Award” for 2007, a “Sound and Vision’s Editor’s Choice Award” and “Digital Innovation Award” from the Digital Entertainment Group and a “20 Most Innovative Products Award” from PC World.
Not bad, guys. Not bad at all. Things are finally starting to look up. Hopefully, all this good publicity is a sign of good things to come. Full steam into mid ’07!
