They wont go off the shelves. sony will appeal it, but at the very worse, sony will just be paying royalties for each one they sell.


makes ya wonder about nintendo tho, immersion already sued MS, and ms settled and then bought stock in them. then they went after sony.

Re: Sony Loses Patent Suit on Dual Shock Controller
 

I have never heard of Immersion before. In any case, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is safe, considering they had the rumble pak way before.

Maybe nintendo should attack Immersion and bring their greedy asses down?

In any case, I already own a PS2, and 4 dual shock 2 controllers... no need for any more hardware from Sony, until PS3.

ANd I'm pretty sure the PS3's IMS DualShock3 technology is Sony patented.

bad news for sony, maybe now i need to get one...

Re: Sony Loses Patent Suit on Dual Shock Controller
 

either nintendo falls into the same catagory or thiers is different way of doing it.
because if what your saying, nintendo did it before them but its the same, then the suits with sony and MS wouldnt of applied because if the patent didnt belong to immersion and they wouldnt of had a case.

Re: Sony Loses Patent Suit on Dual Shock Controller
 

Was Sony aware of this scandal they were taking part in when creating the Dual Shock Controller?

I want one of those new, slim PS2s. I better grab one soon.

Re: Sony Loses Patent Suit on Dual Shock Controller
 

Nintendo is either letting Immersion do their dirty work for them or doesn't have a case. They wouldn't let something like this slip through their fingers if they had a case.

It could be that Nintendo is just waiting for Immersion to win the battle completely before it strikes at Immersion too. Because if one court battle can be ruled against Sony without Nintendo paying a single attorney fee, what could be better?

Re: Sony Loses Patent Suit on Dual Shock Controller
 

i doubt nintendo has a case against them, because im SURE either MS or Sony woulda been smart enough in court to say hey, immersion doesnt even own this patent, nintendo does. that woulda ended immersions case on the spot.

so as i said, its either 1 of 2 things, either nintendos tech is totally different then the stuff immersion is suing over, or its simular and immersion can sue nintendo next.
