"awarded"? Always thought it was because IBM happened to be the lowest bidder. Just business as usual, but worked out further since they could say "made in America" for a while

and the console design and games.

For a second, I thought this was "news." I guess it was, a long time ago. And yeah, giving a contract to someone, even the lowest bidder, is an "award," just like when you "win" an auction by bidding the highest amount.
