UK games industry trade publication MCV recently revealed winners of its Industry Excellence Awards, with SCE walking away with the top prize for success, innovation and business management.

Sony's UK branch won the top Grand Prix prize, as MCV states that SCEE devised a successful PSP launch while continuing to push PS2 hardware to record levels. As for innovation, MCV noted SCEE's Buzz! quiz game, along with development of SingStar and EyeToy products and the acclaimed God of War.

Last week, the MCV Industry Excellence Awards night brought in nearly 600 top execs and retailers, and recognized top performers from the previous 12 months.

“The transparent nature of the MCV Awards, where it is the industry itself that votes, means that every winner can feel very proud,” said MCV managing editor Lisa Foster. “We thank everyone for participating and also congratulate the Finalists. It was another fine night celebrating the best of a very fine British entertainment industry.”
Congrats to the winners. Nice to see Nintendo winning the most awards and Microsoft picking up the Trade Marketing Award for the Xbox 360. I guess.

Ha! That must have cost Sony a bundle! Bribing an entire market to report their work as award winning?!

Who's with me!? :rolleyes:

Another day, another way to bash Sony. Please follow with at least 2 stories making the Xbox look good. Not that any of it isn't true, but doesn't everyone get bored of this pattern?

Remind me, who's bashing Sony this time?

You're seeing ghosts.

Pfft, the PS3 will age games like fine wine and make priests stop molesting children.

It's true - Kenny told me so in my dreams last night.

fitba...come on. You know we aren't allowed to post Sony news that's positive. Evil is going to give you 20 lashings for this. ;)

...You must be fucking me. In the ear. Upside down.

Sony should NOT be awarded for their delivery of the PSP in the UK... about a year late (with no good reason either) and managing to completely botch the rights to some of the copyrights they'd like at some point during trying to launch it... Yeah, fantastic launch there. Not. I'm fucking fed up of people shitting on Europe.
