 Sony Computer Entertainment  (SCE) said Monday it has been fined US$90 million and ordered to halt sales of its blockbuster PlayStation consoles in the United States due to an alleged patent infringement . 
The company has been ordered to pay $90 million in damages to a U.S. tech company, Immersion Corp. , but it will appeal the decision by a California federal court immediately, an SCE spokesman said. Sony will continue to sell its PlayStations pending a ruling on the appeal, the spokesman added.
