Look!: In the case of Microsoft posting a profit, but of less than 20.75 million dollars : "Basically, Sony was the only reason MS made a profit this quarter since they made less than the settlement they had with Immersion". Or in the case of MS posting a loss: "Even with Sony's help, MS was unable to make a profit this quarter". FUN! |
I see no reason why that 20 million would be assesed as part of the entertainment division. Legal settlements are usually put in their own category.
Weird clause though "We want some of what you get from Sony!".
It's like they were betting on their own... and Sony's guilt.
They probably new Sony was going to pay as thought they were at fault more because they copied sony who copied immersion without a patent.
