Why the NRC is indeed a heap of licensensed technolige put togheter it's the combination and how it's being used applied to gaming (those last 3 words are very important) has been patented.
Patent-laws are very confusing for the average lot like you and me (reading them makes my head explodes) but what Nintendo actually patented is the possibilities (the uses) you have do with the controller applied to gaming, not the technology inside.
Sony is allowed to make a complete copy of the NRC but once it is used to control games Nintendo can sue them. Sounds strange but patents can be devised in such a fashion to achieve what i just describe, you just need a good team of corporate lawyers to put it in words (apparantly those people have invented a complete new form of english).

Very odd. Are these US patents? I know there are some very perverse things one can do within US patent law.

I believe that this new form of English is more commonly known as "bullshit"
