  It would be a humiliating blow if Anascape was a company that actually did anything. But in the case of actually having no real product, and almost next-to-none information about the company, you can say that it's a bullshit move.
  
  This isn't the first time the US patent system has shown its problems, and won't be the last.

  Yeah, this isn't humiliating at all.
  
  Anascape, as a company, is humiliating.

  Come on now. With that Logic you are saying that Anascape is a joke company because they may not have the funds that Nintendo have. They obviously had the ideas to create something great, but not the funds to go through with their idea.
  
  This is what big companies thrive on. Finding the small company that can't do squat with their idea, mooching off their idea and actually putting a product into production that the small company couldn't do.

    At the same time, there are companies that file for patents and just sit on them, waiting for others to infringe on them and make bank on the lawsuit.

    Well there's no point in sitting on a patent and not doing anything with it and not letting other companies who have the resources actually do something with the idea. Granted, they did come up with the idea and the credit should go to them but what's the point of depriving the world of their idea just because they're selfish enough to not let anyone with the resources touch it? Guess capitalism just makes you selfish.
    
    Anyways, I find it funny that anyone who said something against Anascape got a thumbs down.

  These comments make me wonder how far people would go to defend Nintendo, even if they were proven guilty of something..
  Not saying they are or aren't either way..

    Even if it was Sony or Microsoft, or any other company for that matter, I would still react the same.
    
    I hate when companies file patents ... then do nothing with them. They just wait for big companies to create something remotely similar to their patent, then they sue for millions. It's disgusting. If you're gonna file a patent, ACTUALLY CREATE THE PRODUCT.

    You make is sound like $21 million isn't much. I know some nintendo fanboys will respond and say some shit like "$21 mill is pocket change for Nintendo". It doesn't matter how much money you have, $21 million is still quite a damn lot of money to lose over something like this.

    <sub>By your logic its like saying "MS losing 1.9 billion is nothing", which it is something. I know MS has alot of money but 1.9 billion is incredible amount of money to lose.
    
    Anyway this sucks for Nintendo.
    But it sucks more for Anascape.</sub>

    Not a relly huge loss, maybe in sales and stuff, but nintendo mas millions. They're going to lose money from the embarassment though.

  Twi's got it in full. Nintendo shouldn't be humiliated. Anascape being a company still in business, that is the humiliating part.

  That's not good for Nintendo. Their products are going to be less popular, and they lose a little bit of money. I would still buy Nintendo stuff though, it's not a huge concern to me =p.

  That's a bit of a fail. One would think that Nintendo should be free from it just because some tiny company patented something and did nothing with it. The American justice system fails that way.
