When I think of something like this, for some reason it seems like you can relate this a lot to Nintendo. For the longest time, they had a huge market share of the portable gaming industry. Hell, they still have a very good chunk. Who is forcing them to give Sony the ability to run DS games on the PSP? Where was Sega sueing to be able to run GameBoy games on the Game Gear? It's not Nintendo's fault that people want to use their technology. Sony doesn't have to have their PS2 work with the Xbox360 or GameCube. NES didn't have to work with Genesis.
Should Blu-Ray be able to work in HD-DVD players? Should sony be sued for the information needed to make a Blu-Ray AND HD-DVD player in one? You think they'll ever give anyone the rights to be able to do that? Come on. Suck it up SMB.
