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.

 

[MrRandomGuy]

do you have a link?

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

 

[Hyper]

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

 

[Bottom_To_Top]

it would be on gamespot or ign if it was true

 

[Deathseeker]

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

 

[MrRandomGuy]

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

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.

 

[MrRandomGuy]

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
