OMG GUYS NINTENDO IS A BUNCH OF THEIVE WE SHOULD KILL THEIR CEOS AND ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES LOL.

Seriously, this only proves what I was saying when I said that all companies engage in "borrowing". Its not suprising, and its not new. Only now Prince Shroujsjakbjsdgahd doesnt get to come up with a way that this is Sonys fault.

Wait a minute... I bet this was Sony's idea. That's why they're not getting sued! :horse:

OH NOES! Yeah, clearly sony is the one behind this. I bet they just paid that guy to sy he did it, then paid all the judges and lawyers to fake it, and then paid the newspaper to run that story. Because sony has money and is evil.

I doubt this was Sony's doing, but it's so obvious Anascape is full of sony fanboys. Jesus Christ, they've sunk to a new low. :rolleyes:

Why isn't Sony being sued over this? They have the incredibly vague "analouge censors" too.

Some of those patents were filed long after Nintendo was using the technology. Fail.
