I'm actually surprised Nintendo lost their dispute yet Microsoft won theirs.

Microsoft has succeeded in securing the XboxOne.com and XboxOne.net domains from a UK resident. The company filed a complaint earlier this year, saying that the previous registrant had no right to the Xbox One trademark and that the domains were registered in bad faith. The domains were transferred to Microsoft with help from the Richard Law Group, which has helped Microsoft with previous domain disputes, Fusible reports. Both domains were most recently updated on July 16.

Earlier this month, Nintendo lost a similar dispute, failing to secure the WiiU.com domain that was established by an unknown registrant in 2004.

I feel pity for the domain owner, he must have spent some money on renewing the domain overtime, who knows how long he had the domain for. I don't think the original owner got compensated in any way for the domain, but hopefully he was.
