Sony sued for $90 million

Sony was sued for making vibrating controllers, and "copying" nintendo's idea! sony's awsome in my opinion! well, ill give you all more updates, soon! btw im a newbie

thats fucked up....nintendo is just gay...they shouldve stopped with supernintendo...that was the only good one....GO SUPERMARIO!!!!!!!

Welcome Newbie!! *hugs*

 

Mwahaha,that sucks, a lot.

Slightly funny though..

then microsoft would get sued too.. i doubt nintendo even patented the vibrating controller, and if they did, it's a different controller model, so it wouldn't matter. it'd be like microsoft suing aol for copying the idea of internet access.

do you have a link?

 

sorry, when I get information, I gotta know if it's for real or not

prolly just word of mouth. there's no way nintendo would or could do this.

it would be on gamespot or ign if it was true

yea theres gotta be more proof, i dont think nintendo would do that anyway, but u never know i guess.

anyone know the website?

 

mabye it's on there if it is indeed true

mmm well if its true thats one pile of shit...

Okay guys NEWS FLASH.

 

Nintendo is not sueing Sony.

 

"The company has been ordered to pay 90 million dollars in damages to a US tech company, Immersion Corp., but it will appeal the decision by a California federal court immediately, an SCE spokesman said."

 

"Immersion, a California-based developer of digital touch technonogies, charged that Sony infringed on its technology that makes a game controller vibrate in sync with actions in the games being played, reports said."

 

Here is a link...and this story is somewhat old

So, there you have it. It is all cleared up now. But what if Sony loses the appeal? I don't think the company can survive without the PlayStation Two...

Yeah......right. Sony makes enough money on other electronics to make their way.

that's pretty stupid to sue a company for something insignificant as a vibrating controller.

 

but this is a "sue me" country, and the morons who sue left and right make everything harder for everyone else

Rofl ! ! ! ! ! Sssuuuucccckkkkkkedddd Iiiinnnnnn

oh sorry. i just noticed now it says 'immorsion corp'...i skimread lol

 

he-heh...

The toilets at Sony headquarters cost more than $90 million.

I am not in the slightest worried.

I alone give them about %30 of my income from one job to support my entertainment.

 

Besides, it is only $90 million. The company is netted at over $3 billion.

There Walkmans are getting killed by Ipods, and they have fallen very far behind in the TV Industry. Even the GameCube is beating them in the console wars now. Sony isn't in trouble right now, but if all this keeps up they will be.
