These sueings wont' get anywhere. I mean it’s nowhere near as bad as Sony getting sued over the Dualshock controller awhile back.
they’re getting sued for the exact same thing... both nintendo and microsoft... so they both might have to take out the rumble feature, or pay a big sum of money... who knows?
They’re trying to sue for rumble? I don’t know about Microsoft, but Nintendo made and patented their own rumble years ago.

I think I might need help looking for the link, because whenever I try to search for Nintendo’s patent all these stupid lawsuit articles keep coming up.

Dr. Matt Rep: 48Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 14,538 OFFLINE | Well it’s kind of hard finding the patent for rumble that Nintendo has, but interestingly enough this article says a little something about Nintendo being sued for the Wii remote trigger operation:
Of course, the Nintendo Wii has a trigger-operated controller which is also used as a pointing device. Diagrams from Interlink’s patent bear a passing resemblance to the Wii Remote.
There does seem to be a significant difference between Interlink’s patent and Nintendo’s design, however. Whereas Nintendo’s controller moves an on-screen cursor by moving the actual input device in 3D, Interlink’s patent describes a pointing mechanism that centers around a touch-sensitive pad and buttons, not the movement of the entire unit (“The multiple control elements are responsive to finger pressure to operate switch elements…”).
It looks like Interlink’s patent is pretty different from the Wii remote design. I kind of doubt Interlink will win.

Dr. Matt Rep: 48Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 14,538 OFFLINE | What gets me is, how can Interlink and whatever that other company sue Nintendo and Microsoft when their patents are described as things not even being used for video games?

i don’t know... what are they using it for? and, doesn’t that sort of kill the whole “loss of reasonable royalties, reduced sales and/or lost profits as a result of the infringing activities” argument?

Just as I thought. The patents that they are using to sue Nintendo and Microsoft doesn’t even have anything to do with video games, they use those patents for different uses than the Wii remote and Xbox 360 controller. It definitely kills the “they cost us sales” BS.
