My personal opinion is that the sales should be banned, at-least until they can change the console to not violate the patent. Just because Microsoft is a big, rich company, it shouldn't mean they are allowed to do whatever they want and get away with it.

Because, everyone likes playing it (including I). If they are going to ban a sale on gaming systems, it should be like Playstation, Wii...etc.
 
I know everyone likes playing, and so do i. But saying they should ban other systems is a bit unfair, since they've done nothing, whereas Microsoft violated a patent by Motorola. Weather it was intentional or not i'm sure they have more than enough staff/money to check.

I agree that Microsoft will not want to lose money from there sales being banned, but there still losing money forking out millions (billions?) to pay off Motorola.

Also, where you've put "well" in your post, it should be Will.

This is the first I'm hearing about this and it is really stupid. But I have thought of a solution for Microsoft, they should just BUY Motorola!
 
I searched the internet to find the net worth of Motorola and in 2007 they were worth $11.6 billion to $11.8 billion, from which you could only assume those figures have risen. So the chances of Microsoft buying them is very slim.
Don't hold me to these figures being correct though.

Motorola's net worth is $14b and Microsoft's net worth is $230b as of 2012.
 
Even with those figures, that's alot of money to pay for a console that's 7 years old.

In the second video, the man said that Google bought Motorola to have access to all of their patents, and that is why this lawsuit has been brought back up, so there is no chance that Microsoft will simply buy Motorola.
 
Yes, Blur. Xbox sales have been banned in Germany as far as i am aware.
