It 's not Nintendo 's or Sony or Microsoft 's job to QA your game. It 's up to the publisher/developer to properly test their games prior to master submission.
The display in the 3DS is sourced from Sharp, so Nintendo shouldn't have to defend itself from this lawsuit. Sharp would theoretically have to indemnify Nintendo against patent trolls like this. It's also not the first time this display tech has been used in consumer electronics, so it would be ...
