Nintendo loses battle to take control of WiiU.com domain

4.5

Nintendo has lost the fight to gain control over the domain WiiU.com after a complaint was filed back in February.

WiiU.com in all its glory...
The decision was posted to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) website on Saturday, confirming that Nintendo's complaint to gain control of WiiU.com was denied, as reported by Fusible.

The domain has been registered by a company in Burlington, Massachusetts since 2004.

Fusible notes that WiiU.com was put up for auction, yet once Nintendo filed the complaint with WIPO the listing was removed. It appears that Nintendo will have to pay a sizable amount in order to have control of the domain.

WiiU.com is currently a placeholder site containing link to both Wii U and non-WiiU content.

There has been no explanation provided as to why Nintendo lost the case.

TomorrowLand Not fair how Microsoft snatch up anyone domain they won't but smaller company's can't

Nintendo aren't small at all, they're much larger than Microsoft and Sony combined when it comes to overall system sales.

Is Nintendo really that big? I knew they were a big company but I didn't think it was bigger than Microsoft and Sony combined.

I think so because Nintendo has been out longer and it was basically the first console.

It wasn't the first console, I'm pretty sure that was Atari, but yes they are that big, think of how large the sales of the Wii and DS have been.

The only reason M$ gets their domains so easily is because they plan for the future.
