But could Nintendo and Microsoft be next on their sue list? I mean, both have force-feedback controllers.


I'm guessing their controllers work differently, although producing the same effect. If you've ever seen the transparent Xbox controller you'll see that there's actually a little half-circle thing inside that spins around to make it vibrate. The PS controllers look too small for something like that to fit inside, as do the GC controllers.

[EDIT] Here's the answer to your question:

"Back in September of 2004, Sony lost to Immersion, and was ordered to pay $82 million in damages. Immersion would have also prevailed against Microsoft, but Microsoft wisely settled with them for about one-third that amount, and the other big players such as Nintendo have licensed the technology."

Looks like all this is from just plain old stupidity.
