There needs to be a law that patent trolling can only happen if the product is similarly used in that particular field.
For example, DS is an entertainment product and some one with a clone of DS can only sue Nintendo if it was for entertainment purpose only and not on anything else. I think that's the reason why Nintendo lost to the 3DS case simply because the patent didn't see fit as an entertainment product.
As far as innovation goes, it looks like Nintendo is the only one being countered the most and not Sony or Microsoft and as Ichikawa-san stated, the world of entertainment will be tough to live in if this keeps getting worse.
@Operationgamer17 But the way the article says that REDACTED is pretty much saying that it has to be either Nintendo or Namco......which is upsetting as I love Nintendo......
Considering how Nintendo remains the only one dominating the handheld market not to mention the only company that manages to make more money despite losing LOTS of money here and there, Sony may no longer be in the industry. Sony has been losing a lot of money ever since which makes you wonder, will they shutdown all their services in favor of just gaming?

Re: Coleco Removes Its Name From The Chameleon Console, But Aims To Produce "New Products" In The Future
I'm least bothered whether it shows up or not. Besides Pitfall, nothing would make me want to get the Chameleon anyways.

Re: The Retro VGS Is Reborn As The Coleco Chameleon
@Noonch Funny how Nintendo never gets to sue anybody and yet Nintendo gets to be sued.
Re: The Man Responsible For Sega's Blast Processing Gimmick Is Sorry For Creating "That Ghastly Phrase"
Isn't the ram on genesis faster than the SNES?
But this is the part that SEGA dominated the most......shame that SEGA is no more first party.....

If Nintendo was responsible for all of this......That's really dark Nintendo!

Re: Rare Nearly Took On The Nintendo Game Boy With Its Own "Playboy" Handheld
Maybe that's why its called Rare. Such a rare company that makes great games. Nintendo should've bought Rare.
Re: Rare Nearly Took On The Nintendo Game Boy With Its Own "Playboy" Handheld
@Einherjar I agree. If it weren't for rare. Sega CD and 32X would've beaten the SNES since Nintendo needed their talent to make Donkey Kong Country.
Its a shame that Nintendo's studios despite almost doing the same thing atleast are very creative and never let down.
