Following up on a previous ruling, judge David Shaw has recommended against the continued sale of the Xbox 360 in the United States, according to MCV. "Enforcing intellectual property rights outweighs any potential economic impact on video game console buyers," said Shaw.
Should the International Trade Commission happen to agree with this movement, the verdict will either pass or fail at the whim of President Barack Obama and his advisers.
With the Xbox 360 and Windows 7 having been banned in Germany this month, it's not a far cry to say Microsoft's infringement on Motorola Mobility's intellectual property could affect the States.
Microsoft argued to Shaw that a United States ban would be unfair to consumers, who would have limited options. Shaw declared Nintendo and Sony could pick up the slack.
We've reached out to Microsoft for a reaction, and will have more on this case as it draws to a close.
