 Nintendo Loses $21 Million Patent-Infringement Lawsuit
Nintendo Loses $21 Million Patent-Infringement Lawsuit
That's right. Nintendo didn't develop the controller technology, but they sure as heck took credit for it.

Microsoft was also sued by the same company, but settled before it went to trial.

Sony is still manufacturing their OWN technology. picked by punthe 6 months ago

 Nintendo rules the roost
Nintendo rules the roost
The Nintendo DS had an amazing November, with 1.53 million units sold. That makes the Wii's sales of 981,000 units look almost quaint in comparison. To put this in perspective, the Nintendo DS outsold every single Sony system combined in November. picked by wags273 11 months ago

 Microsoft sued over Xbox Live outage.
Microsoft sued over Xbox Live outage.
XBox Live had some issues over the holidays with the massive influx of new users. Some people could not access the service and so they are now sueing Microsoft for damages.

Wait...A game server is down and you're damaged? I guess they had nothing else to do if they can't play online. For God's sake...read a friggin' book!!!

BTW..They plan on giving a free acrade game to everyone. picked by Fizz71 11 months ago

Microsoft Sells 10 Million Xbox 360 Consoles In North America
Microsoft is the first console manufacturer to sell 10 million consoles in North America...

Now, is that 10 million functioning consoles?

Or, is that including the 30 odd percent that failed with the Red Ring of Death?

 Nintendo is making $40 profit on each Wii sold
Nintendo is making $40 profit on each Wii sold
Considering that the PS3 and Xbox 360 both result in a net loss for each console sold, I'd say Nintendo is way ahead of the game here. They almost tied the Xbox 360 for most consoles sold in November as well (about 500,000). picked by jaxomlotus 2 years ago

I've been a little disappointed with how gimmicky the Wii turned out to be. Based on these patents Nintendo just filed, I think I should go ahead and buy an Xbox 360. picked by tvirus 10 months ago
