There’s a good chance that you’re reading this website because you love PlayStation, but let’s not pretend that there aren’t dozens of other snazzy gizmos out there. The market is practically flooded with nifty appliances these days, which perhaps makes the PlayStation 4’s success at the T3 Awards all the more special.
The device picked up two prizes at the electricity draining evening, including the Gaming Award and the coveted Gadget of the Year gong. In fact, it was a big night for Sony in general, as the PSone was also admitted into the T3 Hall of Fame. We reckon that gaffer Kaz Hirai will be smiling tonight – until he sees a company balance sheet, of course.

This is well deserved. I also loved the company balance sheet jab at the end very witty.
Awesome, congrats to Sony.
Awesome
congratulations to SONY and PS4. When you do something amazing the world does notice.
I don't understand why Sony have won this award myself. Sure the console has sold amazingly well, but this has more to do with M.S's awful launch as opposed to Sony doing anything special. Plus this has got to be one of the worst generations for AAA launches in a consoles first year ever. I can't think of one game on the PS4 worthy of note. Too many multi plats on no killer first party games? Seems like a strange award for them to win :s
@KillmoreGB infamous was an excellent AAA game.
@KillmoreGB Well, they didn't just beat Microsoft, they beat other gadgets, too. And I dunno - I think it is a really cool piece of kit. Remember, this isn't necessarily about the software, but the system as a whole - aesthetics, marketing, features, functionality, specs, etc.
@get2sammyb I totally agree. Sony winning this award had nothing to do with Microsoft E3 2013 mistakes. Aside from the obvious power and price difference the PS4 has to be the best looking electrical device on the market to date. Like one of my friends said "The PS4 looks like something brought back from the future" which is funny but I kind of agree. My only complaint with the PS4 is the cheap rubber grips used on the DUALSHOCK 4's analog sticks as less than a year later they've started to peal off. Never had that issue with the DUALSHOCK 3 even after 7 years of use.
@WARDIE yeah, both sticks on both my ds4 controllers have degraded or completely disintegrated, the only problem I ever had with my ds3 is last year the left thumbsticks rubber cap came loose, otherwise its been perfect for 5/6 years.
I think the PS4 console is perfect(it looks SEXY AS FUNK) Well 1 thing would of made it perfect'er & that is having say 2 USB ports on the back. If SONY can waste money on putting a stupid Cam port on the back then they could of at least could of put a USB port at the back :-/ Oh well + The DS4 pads Battery should be a 2000mAh to & not a pathetic 900/1000mAh :-/ + The DS4 Pads still get worse over time
Apart from that i LOVE my PS4
The ps4 is the best looking console in history. It doesnt look like a games console at all. And the way they hid the power and disc remove buttons is so slick.also there are triple a titles like killzone,infamous,the last of us and driveclub next week.next year the triple a's will blow everything else away and people will be so glad they got the ps4. The tables have turned in development circles too with multi platform games being designed on ps4 this time rather than 360 last gen.these are exciting times to be a ps4 owner.my only problem like a previous comment is the ds4 battery life.my ds3 doesnt need recharging for 3 or 4 days sometimes while me ds4 needs charging everyday.that sucks but with all the tech inside the ds4 its hardly surprising. All in all im very happy with my ps4 and cannot wait for 2015.:)
I'm a Playstation fan but I don't get why this would win. There's probably been far more interesting and innovative products this year. This seems more like a popularity contest or beauty contest. PS4 is definitely the most beautiful, especially in that picture up top...
@Carl-G that cam port is going to be way more important than a 4th USB port.
PS4 deserves it!!! =)
