Sony denies confirmation of controller rumble

Responding to rumors that Sony had "confirmed" a rumble-enabled PS3 controller, SCEA flatly denied making any announcements.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, an SCEA representative said "The SCEA employee referenced in Kotaku's story stated that he had read in the news that third parties are working on a controller with rumble for PS3. His comments were taken out of context."

"Sony has made no announcements about rumble and PS3."

In a recent E3 roundtable discussion, SCEA's Jack Tretton noted that the company had settled with Immersion and a rumble controller is something that could happen "down the road."

"...The bottom line is we haven't made that decision and we didn't have anything to announce or introduce [at E3]," said Tretton.
