Immersion last year sued Sony for infringing on its patents. Immersion claims that it owns the technology that powers the rumble in Sony's Dual Shock controllers. It also sued Microsoft for its rumble features in the Xbox, but Microsoft settled out of court.
Newley sony lost the case.
This means that Sony not only has to pony up and shit loads ot of cash to Immersion Technologies, and that they have to stop selling PS2 machines which includes the Dual Shock controller, that means pulling the PS2 off the shelf.
Interestingly, Immersion is owned in part by Nintendo. The next-generation battle just took another twist.
