This's a good condidate for the WTF note of the week. You see, Datel a company that make memory cards, controls and other stuff wasn't happy to see Microsoft banning the use of third party cards, so they tried to set a lawsuit against Microsoft for Monopoly, and what's Microsoft answer??
Now Microsoft has answered back with a motion to dismiss the suit and they're pointing out the success of the Nintendo Wii and Apple Macs to do it. The dismissal points out that Datel's suit seems to forget that the Wii also has online gameplay and has sold far more than the 360, but Datel doesn't mention it at all in its suit. How can the 360 have a monopoly on Multiplayer Online Dedicated Gaming Systems when they aren't even the top selling system with that functionality (they also point out the DS has the same ability and has sold more as well), Microsoft is arguing.
As if touting Nintendo's amazing sales and online capabilities wasn't odd enough for Microsoft, it seems that the real savior for the company in this legal battle may be Apple. I'll explain after the jump.
But the fun doesn't stop there, check Datel's answer:
So there you have it. Not only the messages boards and forums are filled with this kind of things, now you can use the Wii (and Apple) for everything, so if Barack fails at the Health Care Plan don't be surprised if he blames the Wii too.
