Just what Nintendo needs. To pay Microsoft a fee for every Wii they sell

*Wii U and this may not be related as it would depend on the alterations Nitnendo makes to the system. If they remove the key peices that allow MS to charge Android OEMs, they'd be in the clear.

Additionally, why do you think Motorola Mobility (now owned by Google) is hammering MS with licensing issues on base networking tech.... they are trying to get MS to cross license the base tech on both ends. MS stops forcing ridiculas fees for base obvious OS tech and Motorola/Google doesn't force the same on ridiculas base networking tech.


**At this point in time Motorola is an independent company. 

If these companies could build around MS' patents than I am sure they would... Although I'm sure Amazon, Acer, and all of them love paying those fees. Motorola is suing MS because they are having a patent cold war. The whole industry seems to be part of it. 

Edit: Ok, I didn't read what you wrote. Sorry I worked a long shift and didn't get much sleep 

I don't believe Amazon is paying MS any fees as they did work around the issue with the Kindle Fire.
