“Nintendo v. Sony”
----------
Sony files lawsuit against Nintendo
----------
Two months ago, at the 1991 CES, Sony made the announcement of the “Play Station” a SNES-compatible console using both cartridges and CDs.
Just a day later, Nintendo and Philips made the shocking proclamation of a partnership, contradicting what Sony had pronounced a day before.
…
Sony filed a lawsuit against Nintendo, known as “Nintendo Co., Ltd. v. Sony Corp.” or “Nintendo v. Sony”
Their charges were based on the allegations that Nintendo had signed a contract with Sony, so that they were binded by law and that they had to accept that.
