The Wii, DS, and the upcoming Wii U should all win the awards. The DS was the first to market Touch screens and it also had that all new clamshell design with two screens, the Wii was the first to market motion control and is the most succesful, the Wii U's controller conept is very intriguing and can be used in compliment with the games on the big screen.

I see nothing wrong with what he said, he's talking about bringing those things to gaming/the mainstream gaming audience. 100% correct

the awards in question aren't secluded to gaming but technology as a whole...

Doesn't change the fact that the bolded statements are correct. Besides, I was being rather generous with my statement. The fact is Nintendo showed great innovation with those products, even when looking at the technology industry as a whole. It'd be ridiculous of you to argue otherwise.

to say that in terms of technology that nintendo was the first to market clamshell designs, touchscreens or motion control is nonsense

Obviously someone else invented the tech, but Nintendo was the first to use these ideas in gaming, you seem to be confusing innovation with invention

We're talking dual screens in a clamshell, touchscreens and motion controls in a gaming deivce. Those are innovations, FACT

this is what he said 

"The DS was the first to market Touch screens and it also had that all new clamshell design"

"the Wii was the first to market motion control"

in the broad sense of technology without using specific criteria to make it appear like if a certain company can be creditted with creating everything its clear thats nonsense

those three features were in use commonly before gaming and thats what this award is related to, gaming and technology beyond gaming
