Ok, i dont know jack shti about pattents or any of that stuff, but if LG wins what happens?, Sony wont be able to sell PS3's ever again? or is taht even possible?

sony has to pay royalties for every ps3 sold or a defined amount one time.

but they can still make and sell them?

If LG wins?   Only if LG lets them.   If particularly vindicitive they can force Sony to pay them money for every PS3 they sold, then force Sony to discontinue and destroy any unsold PS3s.

No, a patent holder must licence its IP at a reasonable price by law. They cannot force Sony to discontinue its products by any means, that would be against the progress, hence the purpose of IP.
