From the article, it isn't clear what they are saying that Microsoft or Nintendo did to cause the lawsuit. If you just throw out a blanket complaint that they are using patented ideas and going after two of the bigger video game system makers seemed like kind of a dick move. I have never heard of the plantiff company before, so that should say something. Either way, MS was stupid not to fight it considering they've got just as much money if not more than Nintendo... I guess they were worried they'd end up on the losing side of the fight.
