Microsoft announced today that Xbox Live has been awarded a prestigious Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Technology and Advanced New Media. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) will honor Xbox Live for Outstanding Achievement in Multiplayer-Backend Console Game Technology, in recognition of pioneering leadership and continuous innovation, as part of the upcoming 57th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards on September 29, 2005 in Princeton, New Jersey.
"Gaming and its particular needs have been a significant source of new technology development in the areas of video and television-centric activities. It is quite natural that this work should be recognized in the same way we've recognized the achievements in broadcast technology," said Seth Haberman, Chair of Video Gaming and Technology awards panel for NATAS.
"Given Microsoft's long considerable achievement in the area of gaming, I was particularly proud that the committee was able to acknowledge those efforts with an Emmy."
"Xbox Live is the ultimate online gaming experience avidly enjoyed by millions of gamers around world," said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing for the Home Entertainment Division at Microsoft. "We are extremely honored to receive this Emmy Award in recognition of our pioneering innovation in advanced new media and online gaming technology and entertainment."

Dreamcast... :sweat:
Forse....
ma l'esiguo numero di unità vendute e la tipologia di giochi
allora presenti, non permettono di paragonarlo al Live di Xbox (IMHO :sweat:)
Se parliamo "genericamente" di online gaming direi che il Dreamcast possa essere tranquillamente tirato in ballo.
E' altresì evidente che la completezza del servizio Live non sia minimamente paragonabile.
