Archangel Tyrael Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Publisher argues it'd suffer commercial harm in the event of an import ban. Activision Blizzard is one of a number of firms to oppose Motorola Mobility's request to ban the importation of Xbox 360s to the US and cease sales of the console. Along with companies including Cisco and IBM, which develops and manufactures components for Xbox 360, Activision argues it would "suffer commercial harm" in the event of an import ban, Foss Patents reports. Motorola, which was recently acquired by Google, claims Xbox 360 infringes on five of the telecommunications company's patents related to "secure wireless communication and transmission of video content between controller devices and game consoles". Activision said in a submission to the US International Trade Commission that, as "one of the United States' largest video game publishers", it "has expended and continues to expend significant resources to develop video games and accessories specially adapted to operate on Microsoft's Xbox gaming console". The ICT is set to review all court rulings and issue a final judgement on US Xbox 360 imports on August 23.

Quantum Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If they stop Xbox 360 imports, they will have an uprising of several billion people ready to murder them in their sleep. And that is NOT a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayerofall442 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 They haven't. Their just trying to control the market. Exactly. And i think that that is stupid anyways. This country would lose so much money if they banned the Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah, this is why you just don't do business with Motorola. I don't see why Microsoft didn't just reverse engineer the components in question... They are kind of known for that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan5511 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 These people really are stupid. I mean, my android is Motorola, but still. Do they not realize how big Xbox is, and what it would do to the growing fanbase around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
