Grats to the 3DS. Looks like in just a few months the library will start to get a lot better. I'm glad I put off my purchase till around MK7 release. It has given me a chance to build up some anticipation.

thats good but glasses free 3d is nothing new

Well no one else is doing much to innovate the industry so they deserve it

It is new in the videogame market. What other gaming system can do glasses free 3d? remember this awards are about videogames.

What were the nominees?

well i guess if GT5 can get the award for best racing game of 2011 eventhough its almost a yr old(i think it got 5 awards total), then i  guess the 3ds can get and award for being the only gaming handheld to have a 3d glassless.

hey do ou think the PSVita will get one next yr for having a rear touch pad and to analog sticks?

on that note how important is it? is it really that big a deal?

I hope the Vita wins that price next year, I want both the vita and the 3DS to be succesful and show the world that dedicated handheld gaming systems are here to stay.  It the vita touch pad can change the way we play videogames then I am all for it. The people voted for the 3DS for this award, so I think it is deserved.

Could've gotten it sooner if they didn't half-*** the games at launch...

same here. both devices are undeniably innovative.
