Elithion Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 "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."

Arch Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 stop it with all this crap already He posted a legitimate article. It's not backed up to well, but still, it's something I'd like to know about asap. It all seems a little far fetched though, I'll just wait and see.

Redestium Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Ah, at last justice. :yes: If the story pans out of course. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotix Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 It was posted on the internet so it must be true. :rolleyes: Where's the link to the "sources"? And are they more credible than a 13 year old boy trolling the GameFAQs messageboard? Why would some Nintendo lawyer drone just be reading through the agreement ten years later and say HAHA we got 'em now All your PlayStations are belong to us! The "facts" in this posting are laughable, the PlayStation came out in the U.S. in 1995, not 1996... I could go on and on... Just a thought :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been an awful lot of this stuff going on lately, but isn't there always something. We just have to wait for a credible source to say something.

SYPHADIUS Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 actually... I think they would! if you knew that your product was making that much revenue.. you would do pretty much anyhting to make sure it stays on your side.... don't get me wrong PS2 is good, but it's not anything to fathom about my 2? :alien:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
