Wii being Sued

It is very interesting that I find that Hillcrest Laboratories, Inc. requested the U.S. International Trade Commission to initiate a 337 investigation againt the product of Wii. The complaint sued Nintendo for Patent Infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,139,983; 7,158,118; 7,262,760; 7,414,611. (Video Game Machines and Related Three-Dimensional Pointing Devices)

Hahahahaha.......

If Nintendo can not win this case or settle with Hillcrest, Wii will be banned for the U.S. market.

Below are some details:
