| Final-Fan said: For the record, Phil Harrison's quote was apparently uttered on Feb. 26, 2007. "Now, rumble I think was the last generation feature; it's not the next-generation feature. I think motion sensitivity is. And we don't see the need to do that. Having said that, there will be specific game function controllers, potentially like steering wheels that do include vibration or feedback function—not from us but from third parties." http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/features/phil-harrison-we-are-under-no-pressure-to-drop-ps3s-price/70094/?biz=1 THREE DAYS LATER: "Sony came to a settlement with Immersion, with an announcement on March 1, 2007 that two companies were planning to "explore the inclusion of Immersion technology in PlayStation format products."" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DualShock |
Even though it's three days after and that's a close time frame. If you're in that position, would you be sure the opposite party would agree on the settlement? You can guess, but you're not sure. So you still don't go make claims you won't be able to back up. It would still be wise to say "I don't know, maybe" or "No, not at the moment." Just for clarification, I don't know how quickly these things happen. How long of a timeframe are settlements like that usually reached? I'm not familiar with civil cases.
