Nintendo Lawsuit Response
by Steve Gibson, Dec 21, 2006 3:02pm PSTIn case it wasnt obvious, Nintendo doesnt think the recent lawsuit filed against them for the Wii strap issue has much merit. They have now put out an official response here:
We believe the lawsuit to be completely without merit. Nintendo has a long tradition of delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service, and we take all reports from our customers seriously. At the time we became aware of the lawsuit, we had already taken appropriate steps to reinforce with consumers the proper use of the Wii Remote and had made stronger replacement wrist straps available. This suit has had no effect on those efforts.If you check out the Green Welling LLP website you'll see all kinds of class action suits that these guys jump in on. Green Welling loves you and wants to protect you. Money is cool too.

"The controller is an essential component of any video game console, and so plaintiff is unable to use the Nintendo Wii for its intended purposes as a result of the broken wrist band. Accordingly, it renders the Wii console, which retails in the United States for $250, useless," details the lawsuit.
YES, you can use the Wii for it's intended purpose without the strap, and NO, it does not render the Wii useless without it. That quote kinda of contradicts itself. It states the CONTROLLER is required...not the strap.
I wonder that if Nintendo would have never included the strap to begin with, would this suit even exist? Would Nintendo just claim "butterfingers" on the part of the customer? You don't sue a hammer company because you drop it on your foot or throw it through your TV. But what if said hammer had a strap that broke...would you be able to sue then?
This is retarded...

As mean as that is, i reckon del monte should be awarded their monopoly for their cunning fiendishness.
