oh, no. i'm hoping that this doesn't end up like the sony dualshock patent infringement case.

If the Wii does get taken off the market, I'll never get to try the Wiimote. I don't know anyone who would want to buy one... I need new friends.

Seriously, Nintendo didn't sue Sony for its Analog controllers, or the motion sensing (although I think Sony got sued for their motion sensing).

Anyways, Nintendo's lawyers will like, totally crush them.

Yeah.

Probably because Nintendo didn't put a patent on them. Also the Z button on N64 came before Interlinks patent.

Well, Interlink blows.

Nintendo will most probably settle. That way they avoid future problems.

I also think PC is the best choice but only when you have to choose.

The Wii is providing a new type of gameplay. Don't expect next-gen graphics, because in that respect it's merely a pimped GameCube. Nintendo chose (wisely imho) to not compete against the PS3, 360 or PC games, that focus on better graphs, sounds, res etc. They chose next-gen gameplay! That's something no PC (or other console for that matter) can offer. Now don't think I'm a Nintendo fanboy (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but such a bold statement "PC Owns all" is pretty simplistic. :not_ok:
