PlayStation Move Beat Out Microsoft's Kinect To Take The Best Hardware Crown At GamesCom 2010.

Thankfully, the GamesCom awards have paid testament to the quality of Sony's showing — awarding the platform holder with the Best Hardware, Best Console Game and Game Of The Show acknowledgements.

PlayStation Move beat out Microsoft's Kinect in the first blow of the motion control war, scooping the Best Hardware award at GamesCom. The awards are selected by a variety of experts in the publishing and media sector, so the victory reflects particularly well on Sony's motion solution.

Gran Turismo 5 also won big for Sony, netting both the Best Console Game and Game Of The Show accolades — proof once more that the racer's been well worth the wait.

Winners in the other categories have yet to be announced.

The news caps an excellent week for PlayStation though, where the momentum's been well and truly behind Sony throughout the entire event. Kudos to all involved for a great week.
