If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
"But to me it strikes me as rather wise that Sony has conceded that a lot of “real” gamer dollars are going to be tied up by Nintendo this Christmas...
...There’s a couple of first-party “core” games (PlayStation All Stars) and third-party blockbusters (Call of Duty) that should give the more dedicated Sony gamer something to play this Christmas anyway."
That's... winning? That's only 2 games? Hmmm, I wonder what they have to say about Microsoft?
"Microsoft has a slight problem in that it is largely relying on two very big eggs, and hoping they don’t drop out of a very small basket. Forza and Halo look absolutely spectacular – it’s impossible to argue otherwise, and in fact the response to Halo 4 at the recent EB World Expo put it up there with the most popular games of the show.
But Microsoft doesn’t really have anything else."
well, look at it this way, what is nintendo getting this yr that sony isnt or doesnt already have? after u rule those out, then look at what u get for the money.. Should be a simple decision... Exclusives dont have to be pumped out every month of the yr now do they?? Nintendo fans of all ppl should know that.. PS3 owners get all multiplats (not some), plus a couple 1st party exclusives & vita owners get a truck load of exclusives... Plus u know, things like online, trophies, blu ray, psn, etc.. Oh & nx yr????? lol not even going there..
Both companies should do well.. Hell, even MS has halo to move some units too.. I must say that PS3 buyers/owners will be very VERY happy in the months following the holidays... Maybe even Wii U buyers.. MAYBE
Nope...Sounds like damage control on the levels republicans must be formulating right now after tonight's presidential debate.
Mario vs Halo
That's it.. Those are the facts.
MS has the biggest exclusive lineup and with COD they will easily top Sony, like they have every year
Halo 4, Forza 4 and Dance Central 3 say Microsoft have got a pretty good holiday line up. Fable The Journey is also in there as well as Sesame Street which is sure to get a bundle this holiday season.
