Sony Beats the GOVERNMENT - PS5 Lawsuit Update

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/judge-rules-for-sony-in-500m-controller-lawsuit/

Sony has successfully won a patent infringement lawsuit in which it was being sued for $500 million for its controller-to-console communication method.

The lawsuit was initially filed against Sony in 2017 by Genuine Enabling Technology (GET), which claimed that Sony had infringed on its patent in the way its controllers and consoles connect to one another.

However, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz, a US District Court judge has now ruled in Sony’s favour, deciding it didn’t infringe on the patent.

One of the main complaints in GET’s suit was that PlayStation consoles and controllers submit a ‘slow-varying’ frequency signal for button inputs, and a higher frequency signal for motion controls.

According to GET, no device was able to receive both signals at the same time until its patent provided the solution.

Sony’s argument was that GET had failed to prove that a specific component in its controllers was “structurally equivalent” to the diagrams in GET’s patent.

The judge agreed and, saying that GET had “failed to raise a dispute of fact”, found in Sony’s favour, ruling that it hadn’t infringed on the patent and that the case was now closed.

As GI.biz points out, GET still has a similar lawsuit ongoing against Nintendo. This suit was also found in Nintendo’s favour in 2020 but the decision was reversed in 2022 by the US Court of Appeals and is still ongoing.

“We don’t want it” - Devs Hate PS5 Pro?

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/03/devs-allegedly-pondering-the-point-of-sonys-ps5-pro-upgrade

There have been two big stories on the ground at GDC this year: Xbox’s flatlining brand and the purpose of the PS5 Pro. Speaking as part of a podcast, GamesIndustry.biz’s well-connected reporter Christopher Dring noted that he didn’t meet a “single person” at the show that understood the point of Sony’s mid-gen upgrade, which is rumoured to release later this year.

He clarified that he expects “PS5 fans” to upgrade, and thus there are inherent advantages for Sony. But games makers are struggling to get excited about the system. “Developers don’t really seem to feel they need it, at least the ones I spoke to,” he revealed. “Many feel they’re not really making the most out of the PS5 in the first place.”

Due to the aftermath of the pandemic and extremely long development cycles, we’ve not really seen a huge number of tentpole PS5 exclusives yet. “A couple of companies said this isn’t going to grow the market – it’s not going to move the needle,” Dring shrugged. “This generation doesn’t even seem to have got started really, let alone feel the need for a mid-generation update. How about we just get some original, next-generation software up and spinning?”

The journalist later clarified that he imagines Sony has reasonable expectations for the refresh, and the company knows it’s probably going to have niche overall appeal. As we’ve reported previously, innovative new features like PlayStation Spectral Resolution likely exist to improve the capacity of Performance Modes in titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Therefore, if that sort of thing appeals to you, you probably belong to the small segment of the market PlayStation is targeting.

We’re giving up - PS5 and PC are the Future - Xbox is done.

Some third-party publishers are reportedly expressing doubts about continuing to support Xbox consoles amid “flatlining” sales in Europe.

That’s according to GamesIndustry.biz head Chris Dring, who said his takeaway from GDC last week was that he thinks “Xbox is in real trouble as a hardware manufacturer”.

“The other thing I heard—I heard it from a very prominent company and one not so prominent—was Xbox’s performance in Europe is just flatlining”, he said.
