DUALSHOCK(R)3 Wireless Controller with Rumble Feature to be Introduced for Playstation(R)3
TOKYO, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI)
today announced that it would release DUALSHOCK(R)3 Wireless Controller, a new
controller for PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(R)) incorporating a rumble feature, in
Japan in November as a separately sold accessory. It inherits the basic
design and functionality of the popular PlayStation(R) controller, while
keeping the high-precision, high response motion sensitive six-axis sensing
system. Introduction to North American and European markets is expected in
spring 2008.
The added rumble feature, combined with the highly realistic motion
sensitive six-axis sensing system, takes gamers deeper into the world of
interactivity, delivering a more intuitive, realistic and immersive game play
experience. The new controller will also benefit PS3 content creators, by
giving them the ability to further expand their creative imagination. PS3
titles that are already in the market may become compatible with the rumble
feature through software update.
With DUALSHOCK 3 and the attractive lineup of PS3 titles incorporating the
rumble feature, SCEI will introduce more new ways of enjoyment that can only
be found on PS3, and will further redefine the world of entertainment.
