agreed.

just hate i had the be the guy to post it, but better me or someone else that sits on both sides do it then a Sony only or Ninty only fan as it could have been worse. 

just trying to cool the coals before they get to hot.

Same could be said about this thread and patent.  They both use different technology to achieve what seems to be similar.  What is described in the patent isn't the exact copy of Wii U tech.   The Sony tech isn't the same as the Nintendo tech.  I am just going to quote a user from NEOGAF which means I am very lazy right now but I believe this guy knows what he is talking about.....

i think its safe to say we avoided some heat with me sitting in the middle being from both camps so i'm not sure wht you mean by same can be said for this thread.

i've already said it was a vague patent in the post below the op which is also my post. i already figured this out but i hope it helps others who enter this thread looking for a flame war cause i fill as the op i should monitor the thread and make sure the rules are not broken.

its my thread and my job and i will report those who fail to follow those rules. 

and stop being lazy. your posting history is a.ok in my book 

I wish more posters would be like you Marcus. On a happy note, you tried Deus Ex yet? Absolutely amazing, it feels as if Imma run into Rutger Hauer, or Harrison Ford in the next corner (Bladerunner for those that don't understand the reference). Anyway, I gotta take a break from Deus and do some nightly Dragon Nest runs hehe.

It's also been rumored that Sony has the original patents on breathing, lasagna, and shoes.

Companies do this all the time, they patent things so that they can get loyalties for them later, but then not use them, instead they let competitors use them so that they take the financial nosedive, and if they failed, they are going to scrap the idea for the time being, but if they succeed, they will going to develop on that and going to better on that tech so that they can get a better success
its a term called "Market Bloom" , Motorolla , Nokia , Microsoft , Apple, Google, LG , Samsung all do it all the time.

Console companies almost never invent really new stuff, because generally they can use tech only when it becomes affordable enough for relatively cheap devices, so when it's not new anymore, actually. Obviously, though, each one finds a more or less original way to combine different techs into something useful for gaming, and they obviously patent such implementations and designs, mainly to protect not only their ideas, but also themselves from patent suits by competitors and patent trolls.

Great... Sony patented augmented reality from a TV image... Not a big blow to the Wii U as the SDF like to says. But it's interesting to see how gaming company work on the same ideas at almost the same time (AR on the 3DS and on Vita, analogic stick...)

I love how the fact that I see the complete bullshit in this post and am automatically labeled Nintendo Defense Force by none other than Sony's biggest fans on this site. *insert biggest possible eyeroll here.*

I'm going to go back to playing my PSP and laugh at you all.

i think the fact that you completely lost your shit earlier shows just how emotionally invested in this you are :

"and the NeoGAF user that pointed it out is a retard."

"understand what the fuck I said, then look at how fucking retarded your post was."

with replies like that i would have thought your mom was killed by a poster or something... its just like the other guy following me from thread to thread attacking me needlessly  and posting crap on my wall then telling me to "let it go" irony at its finest right there
