The recent thorn in Sony's side, Immersion, has set up a 12-question online poll to gauge the public's opinion on the PlayStation 3 controller's lack of rumble capabilities. The survey is flawed in many regards, including loaded questions and the ability to take the poll multiple times.One question bothered us in particular: If you owned both an Xbox 360 with rumble and a PS3 console without any rumble capability, and a game came in both versions, which one would you buy? If we are to assume graphics, online play, and all other factors are identical, and therefore inconsequential to our response, it would be wise to state that.
It seems Immersion would like to use the results of the survey to lobby Sony to add its rumble technology to the PS3 controller. However, they might want to consider commissioning a fairer poll.
Avid PlayStation 3 supporter and Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojiima opined that he would like to see the PS3 controller, at the very least, have rumble as an optional feature one could turn off. Immersion has recently revealed TouchSense vibration technology that they claim works alongside the PS3's motion sensor capabilities.
