Nintendo's console accused of patent infringements.


by Martin Robinson, IGN UK

UK, September 18, 2008 - Nintendo's Wii has been accused of infringing on four patents with its motion sensing technology, and finds itself subject to an International Trade Commission investigation.

The claim comes from Hillcrest Labs, creators of motion sensing technology who filed a complaint against Nintendo this August.

It's now been taken up by the US's International Trade Commission, who have the power to remove Nintendo's console from the market should they be found guilty.

"Nintendo intends to vigorously defend this action," said Nintendo in a statement to Reuters.

too little too late imo lol...the Wii already crushed all other console sales...I just hope nintendo's next system will be super beefy instead of beefed up gamecube :D...though i must say that Wii games are much more fun to play, least the multiplayer party ones are.

and wii sports...god..too good.

Seriously, it took them 3 years to figure out that the biggest console on the market infringes on their patents?

Smells like bs to make sure Nintendo's product continues selling quicker than they can be put on shelves.

This is just an epic marketing ploy, buy your Wii now before the big bad government takes it off the market!!!!!! I already got mine!

So they waited until August to do this? Karma will be a bitch. There needs to be laws against this type of predatory behavior.
