    WTF Sony ordered to halt PS2 sales in U.S!

    Sony lost a patent infringement lawsuit, have to pay damages and cease PS2 sales!

    They'll fight it (obviously):

                i don't think they will suffer in the US. PS2 has been out for more than a year now. Surely, Xbox will take advantage of this crisis.

                  PS2 sales have been slowing up for the past few months now, while the XBox has hit it's stride and sales numbers grow.

                  This "generation" is just about over and the new consoles are just on the horizon.

                  Hopefully, this lawsuit won't have any effect on the future.

                  Spend you some brain.

                            so why did they only attack Sony? Nintendo, Sega and Xbox all have vibrating controlers.

                              All over a vibrating controller? That's retarded. I always shut that "feature" off anyway. It's fucking annoying.

                                ya, very annoying. Can't wait for the PS3 though. I will be there inline for sure.

                                      I don't think Sony is too "little" of a fish.

                                          I guess sony is lucky they didn't ultimately design the psp with forceback technology, as I'm sure it was considered at some point.

                                              PS3 comes out the day they are forced to cease sales of PS2 in the US.

                                                See! I was just on my way to buy a PS2 and this shit happens. Can you imagine what'll happen on Ebay when the PS2s are pulled??? The backlog will go up in price til and IF the new PS3 etc. comes out.

                                                Toshiba got hit with a similar judgement. Crazy millions. If Sony did swipe somebody's shit they deserve to get a kick in the ass.
