Was wondering how long it was going to be before something like this happened.
*sigh*
There're always some cases happen when a successful console launches.
If you remember immersion sue sony and microsoft for the vibration of the controllers on ps2 and xbox. Gamecube didn't get sued for that.
swear i read somewhere that ps3 copied the wii remote idea?
Correct me if im wrong though as it was prob a rumour..
Rig: Amd 64 3700+ San Diego | Abit AT8 | 4x512 Corsair XMS3200C2PRO | PowerColour X850XTPE / Arctic Cooled | Samsung Spinpoint 250Gig | Enermax NoiseTake 485w | Arctic Freezer 64 Pro | Coolermaster Wavemaster Silver | Dell 2405FPW | Logitech G5 / Everglide Destrukt Monstermat |
It does have ability to tilt, on some axis (I think the key 4 axis). But this was a token thing to get around the fact it doesn't have vibration...not sure what games use it or how much.
And yeah it is ague but for a few tens of thousands of dollars legal fees, they could set themselves up for life!
Now there is a money spinner...patents and copyrights
Only limited to what you can imagine. At some point some sucker will come along and develop a device that only remotely resembles something in your scrawled design.
Wait for it to be successful....then slap them across the face with infringement lawsuits and get stinky rich!!!
I love the title of it though "Trigger operated electronic device". Hmmmmm...I think the inventor of the good old TV remote should come out of hiding and perform a double whammy on Interlink. It would serve them right for being sneaky money grabbing muthas trying to get rich off the back of others.
Meh Nintendo will just throw some money at them and they will go away. Companies expect **** like this to happen
