Nintendo, MS, and Sony all Sued

A company called Fenner Investments is taking on the big three in court. The company alleges that each of these broke a patent, infringing on intellectual property. The issue comes down to the analog joystick on the contollers, which returns a digital signal to the system. This company filed for the patent in 1998 and was granted the rights three years later.

Something tells me the combined lawyers of MS, Sony, and Nintendo might be a wee bit more costly than those of "Fenner Investments"...
