This is why I hate america.... realy it is.
Oh no!!! a company has a patent on a MOTOR!!!!! Lets ban all drills and electric screwdrivers!!!
Argh!... Banning the controls would be bad enough, but banning all games that USE it is a joke..
Then again, the whole thing might be a joke. But even so, it is so like america to do it.

The thing is this all goes back to 2000 and Sony have been using the technology since the PS1 so it's aloada shit if u ask me...
They were gonna sue Microsoft as well cause they used the technology as well... but Microsoft paid them 26millionish to become a licensee... according to the comments... of course I'm pretty sure Microsoft have bought Immersion and now own them... and are trying to get Sony removed from America... the fact is the xbox and xbox 360 are complete flops in japan... so what better way to get their revenge on them???
The whole thing is a lotta shit...

I'm sorry to say this but u are wrong... Immersion is partly owned by Microsoft... so what I said in my post is 100% correct

| Nintendo is another matter. Immersion has never had any dealings with Nintendo, according to Mr. Viegas. Moreover, Nintendo holds their own patents for their rumble devices, and so far there have been no inquiries as to whether these patents are close enough to cause conflict between the two companies (according to some on Slashdot, Nintendo builds the motors differently, so the same result is produced through a different method). Immersion won?t comment on whether or not they?ll pursue future action against Nintendo, but Nintendo has nothing to worry about should the status quo prevail. In fact, they stand the most to gain ? they already don?t pay licensing fees, and they have a solid foothold in both Japan (Sony will be unaffected there, and MS has never dented the market) and North America (where Sony would be shut out). Nintendo could leverage this to regain the top spot in the video gaming world. |
