Wii U loses patent case vs Philips

[John j]

So Philips sued Nintendo for essentially the basis of the wii and wii u. They just won in the uk. US is still pending. Nintendo is appealing the case.

If they lose in the US, Philips is requesting the ban of sales and a lot of money.

Wait so does that mean Nintendo can't sell the wii in the UK now?

If they lose the appeals that would most likely be the case but I don't see this happening.

That sucks. Hopefully Philips won't get their own way, it's not like those idiots produced anything based on the patent.
