There are those in the industry who wish to bring back the "glory" days of console wars.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"

Competition breeds innovation. Third-party developers compete amongst themselves and first-party developers compete against the other console, and this is a system that works. Console developers should not be at each other's throats, but they can't play lovey-dovey either.
I still fail to see how console wars are a bad thing. Generation after generation, the top consoles compete against each other and we get loads of great titles. SNES vs. Genesis, PS1 vs. Saturn/Dreamcast, PS2 vs. XBox, PS3 vs. X360 and now PS4 vs XB1. Great games came and will come out of those rivalries, and we the players are the true winners. Choosing a side is a matter of taste, but admitting that the competition has fueled the creation of great games is something we can all agree on.
Edit: Oh, and I didn't mention PC cause PC will ALWAYS be around. Stop hatin'.
Xbox is on the way out. Casualty of the console war/ greed/ incompetence/themselves. Burn baby burn.
PS4 does what Nintendon't. (Aside from excellent games.)
Miss you Dreamcast
