I'm gonna call bullshit on this, especially the Emmy. Who the fuck gives an Emmy for a game controller?

EDIT: Damn you, cka! *shakes fist*

Good ol Sony always reporting shipped units rather than sell thru.

wait what? Why would that piece of shit win an engineering award?

$$

Also, Nintendo and Microsoft probably don't care enough to try. Sony needs SOMEBODY to laud them at this point, right?

Brought to you by the Emmy winning PS3: PS-4D. Jack into the Matrix.

They have sold them... every retailer except Wal Mart owns their own inventory.

Who cares, the games still suck.

I was thinking about that yesterday, and it's not really true. If somebody didn't have a 360, there are some good games on the PS3. It's just that they are not exclusive and were on 360 first. The PS3 lineup is far better than the Wii lineup both now and looking at release lists.
