Sony is obviously taking some lessons from nintendo and trying to steal some of their market share. I don't think that they will be as successful with this venture as say, its other ideas, b/c gameplay has never been a big part of their strategy for Sony's games division.

 

Also, i'm not convinced that the wii remote will be relevant after a couple of years anyway, so this seems even more irrelevant.

It's hardly a "venture." It's just a patent. Patents can sit around and do nothing for decades...

 That is exactly why I am not saying "HAHA Wiimote = suxxors." Because this does not exist. However if this was to hit the market in 6 months. How can you say it is bad, if it works right?

One of the big reasons I bought a DS over a PSP was the fact Nintendo bought the lisence to use the Palm OS, and trademarked something related to PDA type operation. I was thinking. HELL YES ON MY DS!

It's been over a year, and not a word on either of those fronts. Trademarks, and patents dont mean much.
