Alright then. Ironically, I like Sony... but I can give you a reason to have a problem with them.
How about purposely making faulty hardware so people would be forced into buying new consoles? Ever wonder why Capcom did the "Magnificent 5" for the GCN, when more people own PS2 consoles? Because the head developer for Capcom knew about the hardware issues. He flamed Sony, and then decided to for the most part, develop for other platforms. If anyone is that interested, I can dig up the exact lines and interviews describing thus. - CD

Been there, done that. Why do you think Sega doesn't do consoles anymore?
Oooooh.... you meant 'bought out'... not 'scared away'... mwehehehe.... And no. I'm no MS fanboy, just have a sadistic sense of humor. - CD

"Reports are trickling through this evening that Sony has indeed lost its patent case against Immersion technologies and will be forced to halt sales of its PS2 console. Immersion last year sued Sony for infringing on its patents. Immersion claims that it owns the technology that powers the rumble in Sony's Dual Shock controllers. It also sued Microsoft for its rumble features in the Xbox, but the boys from Redmond settled out of court. Sony fought on, and lost a case last year. However, it's been allowed to continue selling the PS2 pending appeal. If the latest reports are verified, it's lost that appeal today. This means that Sony not only has to pony up and awful lot of cash to Immersion Technologies, but it has to stop infringing on the patent - that means stop selling kit which includes Dual Shock technology, and that means pulling the PS2 off the shelf. Commentators are wondering if this case is the reason for the PS3 controller redesign that we've seen - it's possible the horrendous boomerang monstrosity doesn't infringe on patents. Interestingly, Immersion is owned in part by Nintendo. The next-generation battle just took another twist..." |
