Are they talking about the console-specific awards?

EDIT: Umm, I guess they are. Well kudos to Sony bagging such awards as 'PSP Game of the Year' and 'Best story on a PS3 game'!

EDIT @crazy25000: Hey, I didn't try to report the story! I'm comenting on how inane their write-up is.

Marceles6747d ago (Edited 6747d ago )

I thought these were the overall awards, but after going to IGN's Best of 2007 site they're console specific. Of course Sony is gonna sweep the PSP, PS2, and PS3 awards lol. The overall awards are announced January 11th...damn this article is misleading, and i got a little excited over nothing, it's still news though...it's just the article writer is confused. LOL....they even had someone provide a statement:

"At SCE we singularly focus on providing enthusiasts the best of console gaming entertainment, with research and innovation being at the core of Playstation's mantra. We are extremely pleased that PSP's Logan's Shadow, PS2's God of War II and PS3's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has been voted Game of the Year from IGN Entertainment, the web's leading videogame information destination. We are also thrilled that various PSP, PS2 and PS3 games have won under every category."

"We are also thrilled that various PSP, PS2 and PS3 games have won under every category" Lol...ok i'll stop...it just reminds me of the statement when Sony thought the Sixaxis won the best controller award, but it was the Dual Shock 2 that won. Good job businessofcinema.com...drag SCE into your confusion as well *shakes head*

What is sony India doing, its good that they are celebrating but for what just look at this,
Sony Computer Entertainment country manager Atindriya Bose said:
"We are extremely pleased that PSP's Logan's Shadow, PS2's God of War II and PS3's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has been voted Game of the Year from IGN Entertainment, the web's leading videogame information destination. We are also thrilled that various PSP, PS2 and PS3 games have won under every category."
Cant believe they are hiding that they won award in every category of their own platform not overall.
I know how it goes in India, PS has a real hype here and this new is putting flames but by giving half information. Gamers may buy products mindlessly without knowing right or wrong.
Maybe this mistake is made by source site rather than Sony India.

I would rather walk down South Orange Ave in Newark NJ with a million dollars sticking out of my pockets then spend 5 seconds in India. The ONLY thing Sony sweeps is the floor of a gay bath house.

It is what it is.....you don't have to understand it.

I agree with Crazy, it is what it is...

edit @carlman23 below...Why did you even comment? I am not agreeing or disagreeing with u. That is the point..It is what it is..lol I was trying to help u out.

Hint, Hint...Sony makes first party games that compete with third party games on their consoles....hint, hint...

carlman236747d ago

And I hope for your sake that you are too...

THAMMER16747d ago

Yeah...Sony can win awards...in categories that they do not have any competition.

Marceles6747d ago

rootEXT6747d ago

carlman236747d ago

Hmm... maybe the fanboyism is getting to your head. I don't see any of my comments as being Sony-insulting or pro-Microsoft...

lawman11086747d ago

I LOVE that spin.........hahahahahhaha ...........Dude, people don't even buy Sony TV's the way they did never mind lame, I mean game systems!

ravenguard886747d ago

LMFAO the first time i've seen a Sony fan say "Jump In"

Jump In is a slogan used in Xbox 360 commercials....

That was one hell of a laugh.

name6747d ago

Lol Retard alert

All of the games that won the platform's awards were first party games. THATS why they're celebrating. SCE= Sony Computer Entertainment

*sigh* Thought brings knowledge

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle53d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde60d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy61d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12560d ago (Edited 60d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
