$ vs Sony over in-game XMB would be the same as SeaGate vs Western Digital ove hard-drive tech a few years back. M$ would get laughed at by the courts like SeaGate was.

You have no idea how the tech world works when it comes to the legal side. As long as a company does their software or hardware slightly different then it's competitor they are fine.

Actually I'm far more knowledgable about the legal side of the technology industry than I am the technical side.  I've spent the better part of the last six months studying Microsoft's various legal woes ().  bbsin wasn't talking about the XMB that was significantly different to MS's, but about strong similarities.  If Sony's XMB was too similar to Microsoft's and Microsoft had a declared patent (which I think they do?) Microsoft could sue very successfully.

Though I agree that Sony are not so stupid as to violate an XMB patent. 

 

good point
