Sony is still solving legal issues regarding their previous game system, Sony Playstation 1.

A court decision determined that the electronics company has to pay $91 million in damages to Immersion Corporation, the company which brought the lawsuit. This company, specialized in digital technology, claims that the Japanese company infringed on their patent when they developed the Playstation and Playstation 2 Dual Shock Controllers.

This technology provides extreme gaming as it allows the controller to move according to the action that goes on in the game. Sony refused all charges and announced that will appeal the case.

Sony is still going to be selling PS2 and everything

Sony said it would appeal the decision, stemming from a 2002 case brought by US firm Immersion, and would continue to sell its products pending the hearing.
As well that japanese company are just greedy. I mean I'd be glad they using my idea and I can tell people dam straight that is my invention. It wasn't even a large company either. I think this japanese company is full of ____.

Nintendo wins. Sony is in some really deep shit now. I just hope it doesn't put them out of buisness. Wait, yes I do, because I loathe the PS2 as well as the PSP. My friend was talking to me about this, and it seemed really bad for Sony, since their PSP messup, this is just turning out to be an end to a horrible month for them. I love it!

As Miss said, they're going to keep selling them. And what PSP messup? Regardless of how good or bad the system is the sales are going throuh the roof. I love nintendo as much as the next guy but I think your love is blinding your reason ;)

As far as I know, Sony has the patent of that invention in the Japanese patents service. For some reason, it smells to Microsoft in there.

First off, if sony goes under, most developers will most likely go to nintendo, Microsoft not getting as much japanese support. That means not only will FFIII and FF CC be on DS, likely any other FF game.

And Microsft was hit with the same lawsuit as sony, but Microsoft settled quickly, to avoid the problesm sony is going through.

BTW Miss, the titles was meant to be do you think sony will have to stop? It looks like they might if the appeal is rejected.

Nintendo has been around for 20 years, and has 4 of the biggest franchises in video game histroy. Sony doesnt even make shit, they get third party developers. Hell Nintendo makes thier own damn games, which is why they pwn Sony any day.

FF for life foo!

Er... I mean...

FF has had its moments... but I hate the people that think VII is the end-all be-all that there is to FF... they need to go back and play I-VI, and Tactics... IX is great too.

I've never played VII but I bought it around the first month it came out, it's still in the factory wrap. I've heard FFXII will be using the same races and world as FF tactics advance but I'm only 70% sure.

Its kind of sad though what happened to Sony. :( Its sad to see any company lose its empire, something worked hard for, and lost because of carelessness.

All I have to say is this is the perfect chance for Sega to return to making consoles.

What Sega needs to do is start building a new system right now to compete with the new X-Box coming out, it would be perfect. If Sega actually tried, they would smash the shit outta them.

And that just means the return of Phantasy Star and Shining Force games, w00t!!!

BTW: Sega does plan on bringing out another console in the next two years. Ownage.
