Xbox to be banned from US store shelves? SHOCKING REPORT!

WASHINGTON - The US International Trade Commission (ITC) on Monday issued a preliminary ruling that Microsoft infringed on Motorola Mobility patents in its hit Xbox 360 videogame consoles.

Administrative law judge David Shaw backed four out of five Motorola claims that the company's intellectual property was usurped in Xbox software for tasks such as efficiently moving video files or connecting wirelessly to the Internet.

"Today's recommendation by the administrative law judge is the first step in the process leading to the Commission's final ruling," Microsoft said in an email response to an AFP inquiry.

"We remain confident the Commission will ultimately rule in Microsoft's favor in this case and that Motorola will be held to its promise to make its standard essential patents available on fair and reasonable terms."
A final ruling from the quasi-judicial federal agency is expected later this year.

An ITC ruling against Microsoft would force the Redmond, Washington-based company to work out a licensing deal with Motorola or risk having its top-selling videogame console banned from US stores.

This is Sony and Nintendo's dream!

So what do you think of this?

Now I know how Journalism works. Throw out a head line that couldn't be further from reality.

Journalism with a capital J

Iop continuing to show he knows nothing about anything. Poor bastard.

wtf did I show I know or dont know anything? I posted a report from a NEWS site and then said it would be funny if it happened.

I doubt it but it would be awesome if it did.

No it wouldn't. PS3 should be banned for leaking credit card information out and for not having online services for months last year.

Online services that you don't pay for. One of the reasons why PS3 is better!

Maybe if they had paid they'd be able to have had good enough security to not be hacked.

Just shows how secure the PS3 is, though. The term "You get what you're paying for" comes into play here. They'd do the same damage just writing credit card numbers on a public bathroom wall.

It wasn't a very credible news site, though. Had this story been at all feasible, I'm fairly certain MSNBC, ABC or any of the bigger news outlets would have gotten ahold of it.

Any jobber can create a 'real news' site and not have a credible story on it.

It be more believable if it came from the Onion than abs-cbn whatever that is.
