Two reports one on 1up another on Engadget claim that Sony is set to win a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for its Sixaxis controller. I've tried to check this on the Emmy site to no avail.
This doesn't seem entirely fair considering the masses of plaudits heaped on Nintendo's revolutionary Wiimote. Sixaxis is Dualshock with tilt, analogue triggers and a new button in the middle. It's nice and familiar to use, but the key word there is familiar. More later on that.
In other Sony news, the company has revealed an 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo - great for all those downloadable PSone classics and, before long, Hollywood movies.
