PHIL HARRISON:
We have no plans to do so in the standard controller that ships with PlayStation 3. I believe that the Sixaxis controller offers game designers and developers far more opportunity for future innovation than rumble ever did. 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.

NO PLANS. WE DON'T SEE THE NEED TO DO THAT. NOT FROM US.

The slashed-tires analogy guy is LYING because he says "I am not coming" when he actually is at that very moment executing a plan to allow him to come. He could have said "I don't know if I'll make it, I have a problem I'm dealing with" or even just "I'm not sure" but he said "NO." No is just as much a lie as Yes in that case, if not more. How can you not see that?

Sony could have said "we're working on rumble". Instead, Sony lied and said "No, we have no plans for rumble" while they were in the middle of negotiations with a company to make rumble. It's possible that it would have been a bad move to say that rumble was in progress, since people might have decided to wait to buy a PS3 until rumble came out; it's possible that lying was better for business but they did lie.

Breakdown: NO PLANS. Meaning no plans, we don't have them, not currently. That's not saying it won't happen in the future. WE DON'T SEE A NEED TO DO THAT. Meaning they don't see it as a life or death need. It could still be considered, but not something top priority. Now if they said "We don't see why we need to do that", it would be a different story. Lots of different reasons, consumers want it=more sales for Sony. Though I guess that can be interpruted in a few different ways. NOT FROM US. They were stating what they knew, third parties could create force-feedback controllers. They could back that up, not them being able to include rumble.

The guy is executing a plan, he doesn't know if it will work. I've already aknowledged that saying No is a lie also. But the lie isn't as bad as saying yes. Making claims you can't back up will get a lot of people angry. Plus they just said "No plans", not "NO!" A small change can make a big difference. There is not only the possibility of people waiting on the rumble, but the fact the plans for a settlement go all wrong. If they the settlement were to go wrong and they said "We're working on rumble" before, can you imagine how many people would be angry about this?

If they were to say "We're working on rumble" and then it all go wrong, people would find some reason to be mad at them then too.

Breakdown:  If a large corporation is doing something, they have a plan for it.  If you have worked for a large corporation or governmental organization you know this is true.  The quality of the plan may be questionable, but there is a plan.  It's in the nature of any bureaucracy, and all large organizations have bureaucracies.

Breakdown #2:  "The guy is executing a plan, he doesn't know if it will work."  Therefore "I have no plans" is a lie.

Breakdown #3:  "I've already aknowledged that saying No is a lie also."  Please point out to me where you have said this prior to now. 

Look, that Harrison quote UNEQUIVOCALLY states that Sony will NOT put rumble technology in first-party stuff.  To say otherwise involves twists of logic that I cannot imagine performing, and it's quite painful to even witness another doing it.  Please stop.  "WE DON'T SEE A NEED TO DO THAT. Meaning they don't see it as a life or death need. It could still be considered, but not something top priority."  And they somehow discovered that it WAS a "life or death need" and inked an agreement with the company they'd been viciously battling within 72 hours of that statement?  It doesn't happen that fast.  Not even if it's "top priority".
