I agree that it's scummy, but they aren't being a patent troll. They have a legitimate patent that Nintendo is infringing. Philips spent years spending (wasting I guess, because the product never caught on) money on R&D for an IR camera device with a physical motion sensor that utilizes hand-gestures to a fixed point, which is exactly what the wiimote uses with the sensor bar. Hardly vague, definitely a justified lawsuit.
