[quote:492a9]Apparently, Gaming Age knows what Nintendo's mega announcement is. Nintendo is schedualed to release this announcement sometime in December. Please note: THIS IS JUST A RUMOUR!

Nintendo is set to file suit against Sony next week, declaring that the Playstation brand, and all of the profits made by Sony from it's sale, belong to Nintendo. While reading over the original contract between Sony and Nintendo (Sony were to make a CD drive for the Super Nes, entitled the Playstation), a lawyer for Nintendo noticed some key wording which showed that it was Sony's responsibility to make the drive, and that they broke the contract, not Nintendo, like initially believed.

According to sources, Nintendo is almost assured a victory, gaining all the profit's made by Sony off the Playstation since its introduction in 1996. Even if Nintendo do not win outright, they are guaranteed the rights to the Playstation name, and Sony will have to immediatley change the name of their console.

This sounds pretty damn fake, for one thing why did'nt Nintendo sue along time ago when the PS came out? This sounds about as truthful as an Iraqi ambassador.

Maybe they were reviewing old contracts and it was just noticed. Everyone knows sony was making a snes cd addon then all of asudden they have their own console out. I was always uinder the assumption they used nintendo tech. IM sure if this lawsuit happens the truth will come out though.

Nintendo = Mad jeaslous cause the PS2 is killing gamecube, so they are looking for a way to bring sony down hake: those crac piping ass whiping sluts

if that happens the ps2 will become gayer than fucking gamecube. they stop with the good games and start putting more mario sunshine crap out.

I love my PS. I don't think I could play it ever again knowing it belonged to... Nintendo. Of course I only had two games for it, MGS and MOH. What will happen to Sony if this is infact the truth? Oh, and if this applies to the PS1, what happens with the profits of the PS2?

I think i heard that this was proven a fake because nintendo cancelled their contract with sony to make that cd drive, so sony then made it an independent system

Milla · 12-01-2002, 01:45 PM

PS2 has to be its own system right? i mean they dont have a contraact on a second console

12-01-2002, 01:54 PM

yeah im pretty sure nintendo pulled out because they felt there was no profit in the cd market.. boy were they shitting their pants went ps1 owned their asses.

Milla · 12-01-2002, 02:43 PM

Thinking bac k i remember this whole big deal! i remember heaing about this awhile ago. Nintendo dropped it cause they thought CDs werent gonna make it cause that sega system died fast and sucked. So they stuck to cartridges and made 64

They wanted Sony to make money because they knew they would screw up.
