The whole point of patents, as proposed by those who support them, is that it will reward those who make the product by securing them a temporary monopoly on its production. Please somebody, support the justification for this? What damages has Nintendo caused Gamevice by releasing the Switch with detachable controllers? If I were Nintendo's lawyers, I'd focus on the non-existent damages. There is not a single person in the world who said, "I was going to buy a Wikipad, but Nintendo released the Switch so I am going to get that instead." Seriously... |
I agree completely, they are in different markets, Nintendo is in no way damaging or competing with these guys and it's a pretty lame case. There's also the part where Nintendo's controllers are completely removable, whereas gamevices are attached to each other via a bridge. That is a huge difference in design.
This must be really frustrating for Nintendo because literally every feature that is on every controller nowadays was a concept originally developed by Nintendo.
