"Confiscations ordered after Asian electronics giant LG wins preliminary injunction against Sony in acrimonious patent battle"

"

"European customs officers have been ordered to seize shipments of Playstation 3s after LG won a preliminary injunction against Sony in an acrimonious patent battle between the two Asian electronics giants.

The ruling by the civil court of justice in the Hague means that all new PS3s have to be confiscated as they are imported into the UK and the rest of Europe for at least 10 days.

If the injunction was extended it could mean consoles disappearing from high street shelves. It is understood that Sony and computer games retailers typically have about two to three weeks' worth of PS3s in stock across the continent."

There will still be naysayers no matter what the facts state.

Some people will never believe PS3 could accomplish this with Kinnect around.

But what really gets me is when so many people refuse to believe that there is a world outside of the United States.You know you have seen them. They only rely on NPD no matter what. Regardless of the fact that worldwide sales is what is most important when it comes to that.

no idiot would own sony stock :)) sony is at 1% Profit Margin (ttm), 1/3 of their value beloning to the banks, almost 14billion in debt, stock at its lowest since 1995, sony's tv is no longer in top 5 in sales, and their laptops selling miserably, who would want to buy sony stock?

thru firmware update, "Microsoft's Kinect team is said to be working "very hard" on a switching or compression technology that will allow a greater amount of data to pass through Kinect to the Xbox 360 console."

which might lead to fingers and hand rotations.

with kinect sports, adventures and joyride, you could download captured pictures from your pc. and there is a cool facebook app for kinect sports.

ps. Amazon had kinect in new stockyesterday but already sold out.

aaron also said 50% of new gen sold was xbox, so if you do your math, ps3 + wii = 1.4 mil

an average of 700,000 for ps3 and wii

giant bomb gave 3/5 ouch

Yep totally agree. I mean look at all the ripoff addons:

-Controllers require batteries, its 2010 people

-XBL fee

Aku101

you know that after few years of usage, you HAVE to rebuy a ps3 controller? just like any rechargable battery, it doesn't hold charge.

soevery few years, you need a new controller....that is atleast $50 every few years
