"Holy.Fucking.Shit

"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."

Now don't forget that these are unconfirmed rumours so don't fully believe any of this, I'm still quite skeptical about all this myself, but if it's true this is really major news for the console market.

it was already talked about, i think it was said to be false since Nintendo cancelled the idea since the Sega Saturn died off with CD's, so they didn't want to try. So they went ahead with the N64 and well... we all know how it competed with the playstation

Playstation= bigzooka: angel: =Nintendo

Yeah, that was BS....Already been a thread on that.

Heres another reason I believe its false, this "news" has not been on any of the national cable news station, CNN, FOX...etc now they usually attack a story like this very early on and I havent seen on tiny little thing about it.

Well i had a feeling this might already have been discussed and searched for a thread on it and didn't find one... meh

I still think it's wild that Sega is dying out, and selling its icons.
