I think hes reffering to phillips having won the first battle in the patent case they filed.  Nintendo can still appeal, and i think this was only for the UK.



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Hey, don't burst Iwata's bubble. Don't be shocked if he apologizes to Phillips and promises never to make another Wii U, supposedly out of remorse, then throws a big celebration with champagne and hostesses.



No one thought Wii U would be discontinued because of this...

Whats the lawsuit about?

Phillips claim that the Nintendo Wii infringes on two of their patents. Even though the patents are incredibly vague and refer to 'controlling with a device'.

Even one of their patents was filed AFTER the release of the Wii.

Shame on Phillips wanting money.

Well I dont know the exact details but it appears they one the first case in UK or something. So I hope Nintendo appeals it or atleast the cases for USA and Germany and France are overturned.

Yeah, this will likely be appealed and get overturned...

I don't think anybody is really worried
