Virtual reality headset Oculus Rift has pipped both Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One to win the award for Best Hardware/Peripheral in the E3 2013 Game Critics Award.

　　While Microsoft and Sony were holding large press conferences for their latest consoles, E3 2013 also saw the first public demonstration of a 1080p version of Oculus Rift. The Razr Blade and Nvidia Shield were also nominated in the Best Hardware/Peripheral category.

　　Titanfall, which is being released for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC in 2014, won the most awards in the game categories, including Best of Show. Respawn Entertainment's multiplayer-focused title scooped up six awards in total, and won both the Best Console Game and Best PC Game categories.
