Sony won the most suckiest console award and Microsoft won the most breaking down console award. Wii rocks.

This is what innovation gets you: recognition. Well deserved award.

Awesome, Nintendo totally deserves the emmy. They think up awesome ideas, heck they pretty much invented and enhanced video games all by themselves.

I'm glad that the PS3 didn't win an Emmy.

Wii will just get better and better. Innovation is the key and Nintendo has it. Congratulations Nintendo!

I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't win an award for creating the analog stick. It was such an improvement that all of the game companies copied Nintendo and started using them. *coughs* Sony and Microsoft *coughs*.
