"Nintendo's Megaton Announcement!!!"

"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."

Can't see anything coming from this, even if it were true - I don't think the name "PlayStation" even existed when the companies were working together. The codename was "PSX" and it only became "PlayStation" after Nintendo got cold feet and Sony took charge.

Then there's this part:

"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."

Don't you think that Nintendo would have known *at the time* if it were Sony in breach of contract, and not themselves? I'm sure they're not that slow or stupid!

Pish, there's no point in speculating. Just wait until Tuesday or whenever the Press conference is. THEN half of you can probably start crying.
