"We’re also hearing that the second patent mentions a wireless device that can be controlled via a secondary device through motion input. Philips is ultimately seeking damages and a Wii U sales ban."

What!? What about PS Move then? What do you think?

Seems redundant.



Ehh I liked Philips more before they decided to sell their TV division to Chinese, but I still like them as the biggest European electronics company, so more money the better. I want this to happen!



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I think the ultimate plan is to settle out of court and get the rights to make Faces of Evil 2 and Hotel Mario 2.



Philips be mad cause Nintendo denied their newest Zelda game from coming into existence

Also, it appears they are also targeting the Wii, Wii Mini, Wii Remote, alongside with Wii U and Wii U Gamepad.



I doubt this will lead to anything substantial.



More patent trolls, yay. -_-'

Seriously, this isn't going to go anywhere.

All they will want is a cut of the profit and then they will move on and probably take like 2% of every WiiU sold.

Well, if it's truly a cut of the profit, then Philips will be paying money to Nintendo.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
