I don't think this verdict will stick, they'll probably counter-sue and win that lawsuit.

Nintendo has the money and a lot of successful weird tech, no wonder patent trolls and other frivolous lawsuits are always coming o them. I guess it will be appealed and dissmissed in the end.

It's a narrow win for the other party to begin with. Apparently they sued for $4 per sold Wii console, so the current verdict only grants them ~2.5% of what they wanted. |
$400,000,000 definitely would have hurt a lot more!
I'd like to see a video of that tech just for comparison's sake. Maybe Nintendo is at fault. Who knows? I love them but I won't blindly side with them. $10 million isn't even the budget for a big game but I'm sure they'd rather spend it on something that will make them money rather than on a suit that may or may not have any merit.

Since the Wii released 11 years ago, I doubt it. If it's really so similar to their device, then why did they wait so long for a lawsuit?

This comment after the article is priceless:
"Good to know the tech that caused me to wake up in a panic whenever my infant daughter shifted a little too much is the same technology that didn’t detect the extra spin on my ball preventing me from getting a game winning strike."
Didn't they originally want $144 million? Anyways $10 mil isn't going to break the bank for Nintendo, that's like what? The profits of one of their amiibo? (likely one of there less popular ones too).
They'll appeal, it's amazing how low people will go to be a patent troll.

LOL. Nice find. 
$10 mil when you sued for $144 mil probably isn't exactly "winning", as far as iLife is concerned, I would imagine.
Still Nintendo said they are going to appeal, and I can't imagine why they would if they weren't sure they'd get the verdict overturned.
