This doesn't seem right to me. The article says:

"According to an attorney for the plaintiff, Texas-based Lonestar Inventions alleges that the Wii infringes on a patent it holds for a "high capacitance structure in a semiconductor device." The patent in question was issued in 1993, and details a space-saving method tripling the effectiveness of parallel plate capacitors by using layers of conducting strips."

Now, unless I'm wrong - Nintendo doesn't design OR manufacture the chips used in the Wii (unless this refers to something they did design/manufacture, i.e. not related to the main GPU/CPU).

So its not actually Nintendo infringing - its either IBM or ATI(AMD) - or some other company.
