Rumble costs Sony $150.3 Million
Posted on Sunday, 4 March 2007 by Speed, source: InformationWeek
On Friday we reported that Sony and Immersion had settled their lawsuit and closed a new deal that allowed Sony to use Immersion's rumble technology again in their controllers.
What wasn't noted in the original press release, though, was that Sony payed no less than $150.3 million for the settlement:
Guess Sony will have to sell quite a lot of PS3's to make up for that loss...

The agreement followed Sony's decision to withdraw its appeal of a federal court jury decision awarding Immersion $127.8 million, an Immersion spokeswoman said Friday. The Oakland, Calif., jury found Sony guilty of patent infringement in 2004.
In a separate, but related agreement, Sony has licensed Immersion technology for $22.5 million, the spokeswoman said.
