I read about this a while back...
Nintendo has NOT done that. In fact, this company has sued Microsoft over the same thing. The difference is Microsoft actually made a liscense deal shortly after and now have a powerful ally. MS is going to make MORE money from their usage of this. Sony will LOSE money.
Nintendo is probably next, but since they have their hands full with Sony, they probably are biding their time. I say probably because I never did find out if Nintendo made a deal with them.
I will say this, if they sue Nintendo and Nintendo ends up pulling a patent out of their arse from 1980 or something... What does that do to Sony and Microsoft? :D

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
