Phil is just so sour at Nintendo.

That is not the case, in my opinion i doubt CDi not doing very well is or has anything to do with this, its pretty much a cheap way to gain an income stream from other companies products, look at Microsoft and Android. If your company can make money off of other companies sold product at the same time as you can sell a product you make than its pretty much another income stream for your company.

Companies have been doing this for quite many a decade's worth of patent file designs, its not only smart but patents as an Asset on the companies book's may net quite a bit of Money for such company over time.  Some companies are purchased just for the Patents they may hold!
