The award went to Nintendo's D'Pad and Sony's Dual shock. Sony immediately jumped on to make a buzz, while Nintendo kept it cool. You can tell a lot form the response of these two companies. This story just reaffirms that Sony is in a very desperate situation. It's suck to be incompetent.

Man, that baby scared the shxt out of me. But it reflected the mentality of $ony's management when they decided to force BlueCrap to their customers.

To all PS3 haters, PS3 will be sold a brilliance units by now, if Sony shipped PS3 to Mar, Pluto, Jupiter, etc.. and don't forget the alternate universes.

Here another take of my thought. If Nintendo make the wrist strap too strong and the owners throw the wiimote, the wrist strap is not broken but it cut the owners’s wrist instead. Wouldn’t that warrant the law suite? I wonder, it may not matter what happen they just want to sue.
The argument of the claim would be about what was instructed in the manual. Did the manual & instruction suggest the owners to throw the wiimote while playing? If not, then it would be very challenging to convince that Nintendo provide the defective product. Let think about these scenarios, if owners deliberately throw the wiimote then it is obviously owners’s fault (The instruction didn’t say that you should throw your wiimote to be able to play the Wii). If it was an accident then it could be argued that Nintendo might be partially liable. Fortunately this law firm tight their hands by clearly indicate that this unfortunate event happen when the owners follow the giving instruction form Nintendo. That is why I said in the first place, this claim was filed without merit (again, ‘cause Nintendo didn’t instruct the owners to deliberately throw the wiimote).

quote "49. #8 (Gamer G), #39 (Azesino), #41 (WaterlooDude):

I'm not trying to be rude or offend any of you, but all three of you are absolutely wrong."

I can’t say for Gamer G or Azesino but you are not rude or offend me, Scott. You actually made my case stronger 'cause you found nothing to say that contradict my assessment. I thank you for that.

I just read the complaint, here is the crucial part

“In particular, the Nintendo Wii game console includes a remote and a wrist strap for the remote. Owners of the Nintendo Wii reported that when they used the Nintendo remote and wrist strap, as instructed by the material that accompanied the Wii console, the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the user’s hand. Nintendo’s failure to include a remote that is free from defects is in breach of Nintendo’s own product warranty.”

There is a logical flaw in this law suite. In order to prove their case, they have to prove that Nintendo instructs the owners to THROW the Wiimote (In response to “Owners of the Nintendo Wii reported that when they used the Nintendo remote and wrist strap, as instructed by the material that accompanied the Wii console”) or prove that without throwing the Wiimote the wrist strap BROKE by itself and with some magical reason the Wiimote fly out of owners hand (In response to “, the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the user’s hand”). This law suite doesn’t have a merit in my opinion.
