PS3 Dualshock is coming

Sony Sixaxis Dualshock 3 wireless controller that rumblesAfter living with gamers clamoring for a year wanting it, Sony has given in and announced that it will start selling a PlayStation 3 controller with rumble feature shortly. Dubbed the Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller by the company, the controller will go on sale in Japan in November and then in America and Europe in the spring of 2008.

Sony had faced competition and a lawsuit from a rival game company, Immersion, over claims of copyright violation in the technology of its PS3 controllers. That lawsuit has been settled in the favor of Immersion and the introduction of the Dualshock 3 is the inevitable result: a PS3 controller with rumble features.

Many PS3 games are already compatible with the Dualshock 2 rumble controller, Immersion’s earlier offering, and will be compatible with the Dualshock 3. Those games that aren’t currently compatible with the rumble technology in the Dualshock will be made functional through software updates that will be made available via Sony’s online service.
