When you hear (or read in this case) the word ‘Emmy’ what comes to mind? Most likely actors and actresses gushing over how realistically they portrayed a regular person, all the whilst being adored by regular people.

Well here’s something for you, the Emmy awards aren’t all about the faces that appear on our screen, but also the technical achievements and feats of engineering that continue to push the medium of television forward.

So it seems only fitting that a few days ago Microsoft was awarded an Emmy Award for their pioneering work in creating the Xbox One and the technology that makes it easy to gracefully go from playing to watching TV, movies and performing many more applications in the blink of an eye, something no other console currently offers at this present time.

So congratulations to the technical minds at Microsoft, despite the flaws in the system it still remains an attractive console and media device that is worthy of any living room.

Still enjoying your Xbox One? Has it changed the way you watch television, or do you prefer the old-school way of doing things? Let us know down below.
