Immersion's various legal battles with Sony over the force feedback controller are numerous, to say the least. While it good to see from a legal standpoint that Sony is not ignoring court orders by putting force feedback in their controller, it sure isn't good from a gamer's standpoint. SplitFish stated in a press release today that Sony doesn't have to have a vibration-less controller. SplitFish actually announced that they would be very willing to help Sony develop a force feedback system completely different from Immersion's solution. This means that if Sony wants force feedback in a future SIXAXIS revision, they could very well have it, if they accept SplitFish's offer to help.

wtf is force feedback? and whats the problem with vibration? carple tunnel? what about the xbox? or the 360? those have vibration...or the wii were you have to move about and maybe throw something out.......or throw it and kill ur tv.
 
Force feedback = in-game vibration = rumble :).
 
This is a very interesting turn of events
