They all have some cool games, & it simply comes down to taste, when choosing which system to purchase. The morons out there will always want to put someone else's taste down, if it differs from their own. I love all gaming consoles, & find it amusing when you all start arguing over which one is best.

At least there was a comment that wasnt about nintendo sucking or ruling, thanks #3. Unfortunately this is nothing new when it comes to tech patents.

Nintendo will not go the route of Sega and become a game developer only. The WII is such a family friendly console that so many middle american families will keep giving nintendo their money. haha wow you little kids need to understand history. nintendo wasn’t just good in the 80’s, it ruled the 90’s too.

I know nothing of this case other than the article but I can't help but wonder if it's success thus far isn't due to some M$ ploy to try and take down Nintendo. You see while anyone can take out a patent few can afford to defend a patent that has been infringed upon. The corporations usually fight all the way not only because bringing in a brigade of expensive lawyers generally works but because other small guy claimants get discouraged. So the fact that M$ settled may have been a way to ensure that the plaintiff had enough money to fight nintendo all the way. This wouldn't have been about the money - $16 mill is a lot to us but not much the gaming investors. sullying the nintendo brand would have been what M$ was aiming for. Patent is just another form of 'intellectual property' an artificial construct aimed at ensuring that ordinary peeps are powerless when dealing with corporations. Successful corruption of pols has ensured that few of our 'leaders' anywhere in the world have taken action against a concept that will eventually erode the power and purpose of sovereign nation states. That would be a noble ideal except the plan is to replace nation states with huge corporations who make their own rules independent of what ordinary humans think or want. maybe peeps will wake up soon and see that the response to previous generations fighting for the right of all humans to select their decision makers has been subverted by moving decisions outta the hands of governments, but I wouldn't count on it. "the wii is just a gimmick" LOL don't ya think you might have lost an eye somewhere? I don't care about silliness like brand loyalty - a construct by corporations to persuade drongos to waste money, but you gotta give respect to Nintendo for the wii, because they genuinely took a risk when they were on the bones of their ass at it worked!. I moved our family from sony to nintendo cause they innovated. Sony and M$ gave the peeps more of the same ie bigger more powerful hardware, but with virtually no major advances, no lateral thinking, just up the disk standard same as they did on the previous generation. I dunno if the wii has any more 'grunt' than the last generation of consoles, certainly the graphics don't seem much better, but they made playing games much more accessible, much more of a thing a group of people do together than the other two who reinforced the image of flabby, grumpy and isolated individuals, eating too much junk food, playing nasty games while they worked on their playstation tan. The cry for more power in consoles is so similar to the sorts of statements made by the penisly challenged when they buy an over-powered car that it's too obvious to make a decent joke about. I had to larf at the ninny who said that nintendo don't make gangsta games. I expect nintendo do make as many of the kind of silly plot bereft and gameplay deprived shooters as the other two, but the fact they also make games that are witty and genuinely innovative that don't require more blood and splatter to sell can overshadow their boring nasty games. Sony and M$ made the wrong call when they gambled on peeps wanting more of the same and need to rethink their strategy. patents are simply a way for the haves to consolidate their edge over the ‘have-nots’.

Although if I was the dude who created something awesome I may want to reap the rewards of such. Some compromise needs to be reached. These days 21mil is not a huge some of money so their case was probably valid.
