Sony in the worst case, LG winning and not wanting to license its patents, could be forced to develop its own workarounds or license the implementations of some bits from companies different from LG, while paying LG a big compensation for the damages already done. This could take some time, though, and units already produced should be modified. But if Sony has money plus its patents for that cellphone lawsuit and settling it too to offer, the only reason for LG to refuse would be having as main goal to damage PS3 and stop its sales for months. Or maybe to make Sony's value drop and take it over for less?
