DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller with Rumble Feature to be Introduced for PlayStation®3
- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
Tokyo, September 20, 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced
that it would release DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller, a new controller for
PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3®) incorporating a rumble feature, in Japan in November as a
separately sold accessory. It inherits the basic design and functionality of the popular
PlayStation® 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.
