Didn't Philips sued Nintendo for some patent on the WiiU?

The 'weak' in a civil case could either be the plaintiff (Gamevice) or the defendant (Nintendo) depending on the ruling ... 

We'll see whether the case they raise up is legitmate or not according to the court ruling ... 

And LOL @ the accusation of jealousy, just pure deflection from the topic at hand due to partisanship ... 

As for why it took so long that's because there's lot's of oversight in enforcing patent law to begin with ... (It may take months before you can figure if your intellectual property is being infringed on since you have to cross reference your patents at hand with a product from another company's and in turn the potential plaintiff also has to check the other company's IP portfolio so that they themselves don't have an invalid duplicate. The library of patents is MASSIVE.) 

We've seen intimidation but we've also seen where corporations who dare try to step on innovators are rightfully reprimanded by court so who's say Nintendo isn't the latter ?

Ok that's actually not what happened, at all.  Samsung were and remained to my knowledge at war over a large number of software and hardware patents.  In the course of the trials, Apple secured a limited time ban on the sale of 2 Samsung tablets in Germany and Australia on the basis they looked too much like iPads.  

Thing is, 1) this only worked because they were already in a heated, legitimate battle, 2) this was very limited, and 3) the implication of stealing sales by confusing customers can only fly if you A) have actual sales prospects and B) your product and the other one look nearly identical.  This situation is not comlarable in any capacity 

Getting a first hand look at the product themselves perhaps? The Switch is still very new you know, aswell as the supply issue making it difficult to acquire.

The court system is slow. Make a case now and you'll wait half a year to finally speak to the judge.

This timing isn't off. Of course I don't really see a case anyways. They both likely have a patent for their designs.

I'm confused, don't a bunch of companies already make similar products?? Did they sue all them too or did they pay them to use the idea??

Watched video... how are they the same exactly? this seems like a money grab lawsuit.

Yeah... think Nintendo used some philips screws on the console, they didn't want to risk association with the thing so they sued for product placement.

I don't think they can get anything but a small amount at most

in the case of phones and controllers you can't have vastly different products, It's obviously a matter of who does it best rather than who does it first

Here we go again.

When this wikipad works on Switch and do the same we may discuss.

Funny is that console makers don't persecute the ones making peripherals that are rip-offs of their own.

Silly lawsuit that just wants to suck money. There are full consoles that look like Switch that released before than Switch itself but this company thinks Nintendo is copying them... Clear case here.
