I don't think either XBO or PS4 are that innovative and great a peripheral to give them the prize, but so is Mario Kart 8. It's superb fun nonetheless, but innovative inough for an award? But I think they see it as a great game, selling great, great fanbase, great gameplay and great look and feel. Something new it is not, but all the other winners aren't, too.
So congrats for both Nintendo games. Good to see Gamescom acknowledges Wii U - more then some others do, it seems.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
