Sony Denies Rumble-Enabled PS3 Controller
Sony denied recent reports that rumble-enabled PS3 controllers are on the way. The company did acknowledge motion-sensing enhancements for the Sixaxis controller, however.
“We have not added rumble [to PS3], and have no announcements regarding this feature,” said Dave Karraker, Sony’s director of corporate communications.
“From time to time, we make minor enhancements to the controllers for our platforms,” he said. “We recently sent out to the development community some new prototypes that have a slightly enhanced sensitivity for the analog sticks and the motion sensing within the Sixaxis controller”.
Sony has been widely criticized for omitting rumble on the PS3, a technology that has been a staple to game controllers since Nintendo first introduced it in 1996 with the release of the Nintendo 64. After some rumors floating around about prototypes of the new rumble-enabled controllers have made their way to various Sony developers, Sony quickly denies them, saying that rumble is last generation feature.
