Sony lost and is the real reason the ps3 has no rumble feature(too stupid to come up with a new rumble design).
What's funny is that Immersion (the company that sued MS and Sony over the vibration technology), recently approached Sony with an offer to help them put vibration into the PS3 controller. Even they can see what a loss it would be to have a controller without force feedback.
I don't know about nintendo...I don't think they were sued in this instance but seriously can't remember.
Yeah, Nintendo wasn't implicated in the Immersion lawsuit. It'll be interesting to see how they handle this one.
