This legal battle has been going on for a good while now, telling from the date of this article. Microsoft was also sued with Sony, but it settled with Immersion.

Here is the story up on CNN. It's legitimate.

This is real. STFU, already. Sony will appeal this until Immersion runs low on funds of keeping a court battle going. Then, Sony will give Immersion a settlement check of like $60M and it'll be over.

Sony has sold 1 million Psp units, that is what the news said last night. The amount of money they have is indeed incredible, not something to be overly concerned with in regards to their handling it....

No they didn't. They shipped 1M. They probably sold about 600k of them.

I don't care how much the company is worth, to lose $91m in cash is a big deal.

I think the DS is a great controller and I'd hate to see them have to change it. Depending upon the designs used by MS, surely they too would be liable regarding their rumble technology if Immersion truely do own associated patents?


I still don't get why some of the DS utilising games have to be pulled too

It's funny, cuz MS actually acquired the license from Immersion for their controllers.

I think Sony should just offer to pay a small slice of the profit from every sale. If that fails then they should murder everyone who works for Immersion.
