Someone should really tell Sony to stop making stupid comments. I have nothing against Sony, but statements like these are just ridiculous. It may not be a huge part of gaming, but there is no way it hurts to have rumble included. Link: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157501

Idiots. I love the way the Wiimote rumbles when the cursor passes over something of importance, you get a nibble from a fish, etc. Immersion is good - not bad.

Expect Sony's PR to get worse before it gets better ... The general belief that there is "No bad press" is remarkably false as any press that leads people to believe your product is unpopular is terrible press. In (roughly) 4 Weeks Sony is going to have to have a major press release which talks about how Sony Missed their shipment targets for the PS3 and how the PS3 is selling worse than anticipated; this will obviously be phrased in a way that (they think) makes Sony sound good. The result will be dozens of interviews with many of Sony's executives which will probably have many faux-pas.

Interviewer - But Mr. Harrison, the Wii incorporates rumble, motion and a pointer function all in one controller Phil Harrison - It does!? *does scanners type head explosion*

Amazing! Sony's Pr is doing a horrible job because sites decided to take on answer out of an interview and make it a main focus? Do people who read the internet even realize that PR reps don't just come out and say one phrase? This is a sad example of exploitive journalism and the sheer fact that the rabbid site hoppers eat it up.

Nobody implied it was the main focus of the interview, but he did say it and it is a stupid thing to say. Infact, any rumble related answer asside from either "The lack of rumble inclusion was an unfortunate consequence of litigation" or "Yeah... we really dropped the ball on that one...sorry" is inherently stupid. They screwed that one issue up, you can admit that and still support the system.

Immersion is a bunch of biatches. I wouldn't pay them a dime. I can make a rumble controller in my freaking garage and I'd have to pay them money if it was used on a video game system? The other pussy thing they say is that a controller can't be coded to recieve rumble unless they get paid too. When their patent has nothing to do with software code at all. Fortunately by next round we may see controllers not using force feed back for rumble and using a different technology.
