The Sonic, Megaman, Mario photo has a little something extra. It also spells PS2. "Nintendo is set to file suit against Sony next week, declaring that the Playstation brand, and all of the profits made by Sony from it's sale, belong to Nintendo. While reading over the original contract between Sony and Nintendo (Sony were to make a CD drive for the Super Nes, entitled the Playstation), a lawyer for Nintendo noticed some key wording which showed that it was Sony's responsibility to make the drive, and that they broke the contract, not Nintendo, like initially believed. According to sources, Nintendo is almost assured a victory, gaining all the profit's made by Sony off the Playstation since its introduction in 1996. Even if Nintendo do not win outright, they are guaranteed the rights to the Playstation name, and Sony will have to immediatley change the name of their console." This is what will make Nintendo systems go flying from the shelves people. The "Nintendo Playstation," people won't know the difference, unsuspecting customers everywhere will be buying Nintendo, thinking that it's Sony. Sony is in a world of hurt." check out this image https://img.ranchoweb.com/images/wfederman/megat0n.jpg |

Ok thats the CRAZIEST news I have ever heard. But one thing.
How does that LOOK like MarioMegaSonic?... ..... I am not getting that.!. And people knew that Nintendo and Sony were to make a system togather, but it didn't work out as Nintendo wanted it to be a system that has "Cartridges" and Sony wanted it to have "Compact Disks" on it. And now they are acting on it?.... I am kinda lost.....

Hmmm, something seems a little fishy here. Post a link to the article and let us read it.

Something like this would be splatered all over the news channels and i have yet to see anything on it. These are two rather big companies, you hear about the little companies on tv so you should see this too. I somehow just can't believe the story.

Okay, future reference.
If you are going to post news, maybe some ground rules should be put up. 1. It has to be true, not just a rumor. 2. A link should be put up directly to the article. 3. The place of the article should be properly credited for it.

i bet nintendos hurting for money if this is true, and i hope that they dont win because its a screwball deal. even though the psx was supposed to go on snes and they backed away doesnt mean that nintendo should get the whole thing. its like making a stereo receiver for the tv and a company decides to make a cd player to go with the receiver then later the company that was going to make the cd player makes there own cdplayer/receiver. i bet this is a rumor though.

I haven't seen anything about this on any of the news sites I visit. My first thought is that it's nothing more than a rumour. I can't see how anyone would award Nintendo all the profit SONY has made from PS.
After all, PS was not an existing brand when it first came out. So the brand identity that is now associated with PlayStation was built by SONY. I personally don't see how this could happen at all - but then again, the law can be twisted in many ways. - S

I am still having a hard time believing it cause none of those links have any evidence either, they are all just talking about it like they are here.
All the links are of forums and the one that is not a forum has a link to a forum to get its information. I guess i just won't be convinced until I see it on CNN.
