According to the press release below:
no rumble, as it interferes with gyroscope
the ps3 controller doesnt require any addition devices to give you gyro
control. (Nintendo requires you to place a device on your TV.)

SCE ANNOUNCES NEW CONTROLLER FOR PLAYSTATION®3
Equipped with High-Precision, Highly Sensitive Six-Axis Sensing
System
Los Angeles, May 8, 2006 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today
announced the new controller for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3), which will become
available as standard with the system. The new controller can be
experienced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) held from May 10
through 12, 2006, in Los Angeles, California.
The controller for PS3 has been created by refining and
improving the world's most popular PlayStation® controller that has shipped
more than several hundred million units worldwide, while inheriting its
basic concept and design. The controller for PS3 employs breakthrough
technology of high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that
does not require any devices other than the controller itself for seamless
interactive operation, thus eliminating additional settings to TVs. With
this technology, ways to enjoy PS3 will be further enhanced by accessing PS3
through the network, while retaining the six-axis sensing capability.
In addition to the "3-posture-axis" of roll, pitch and yaw, "3-dimension
acceleration information (X, Y, and Z)" can be detected in high-precision
and in real-time. In addition to standard key input available in existing
controllers, more natural and more intuitive play will become possible as if
the controller has become part of your body.
Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the
vibration feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK® and DUALSHOCK®2
controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation®2, will be removed from the new
PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by
the sensor.
The shape of L2/R2 buttons located on the top of the controller has also
been enlarged with increased depth in stroke for more subtle control in
games. At the same time, the tilting angle of the analog joy sticks has
been slightly broadened to enable more delicate and more dynamic
manipulation. Along with these improvements, precision of above information
detection (L2/R2, analog joy stick) has been increased from 8 bit to 10 bit.
All input information will be immediately transferred to the PS3 system
through the Bluetooth® wireless technology. By using a USB cable, the PS3
controller can be swapped seamlessly from wireless to wired, and can be
charged automatically. The cable can be attached and detached at anytime.
By integrating all these features into one standard PlayStation controller,
SCEI, together with content creators, expects to further expand and
accelerate the world of next generation computer entertainment. |

Now trying to compare the two is just idiotic. Wii has a specialized
controller because the games will be different. A more logical
comparison would be that of the 360 controller to the Sony model.
While rumble is a cool feature, I can see cool things being done with
the tilt technology. What makes me prefer the Sony model to the 360 is
1) the fact that you don't have to pay $20 just to be able to charge
your wireless controller and 2) up to 8 players wirelessly. While I
will buy a Wii, there is no sane person who can say that the controller
will be superior to either of these other than for specialized games.
Tell me how that Madden plays with the wand? >> Stay informed about: PS3 Controller has no Rumble?? And doesnt quite COPY ninte.. |

I am not on the Nintendo staff so I don't know how but yeah there
supposedly is a Wii version of Madden.
All I know is that Sony called the Nintendo wand a gimmick and now they
have a control with a VERY similiar feature.
Sony has copped out.
I am not some Xbox or Nintendo troll. I am seriously a long time fan of
all three consoles. I got nothing to gain by bashing the system. Which
makes it even more disappointing when I see what Sony has come up with.
I expect better from them. >> Stay informed about: PS3 Controller has no Rumble?? And doesnt quite COPY ninte.. |

ITs not that. Basically Sony's PS2 was the standard. The measuring
stick by which the industry was based on for years. It was the most
successful console beating out Juggernauts like Nintendo and Sega.
>From the support of Blu-Ray over HD. To this controller, right to the
price. IMO this has been a huge let down by a company that pretty much
has had an easy time staying number one.
I don't forsee Sony easily staying on top this time. The console is a
let down. It's overly pricey and has nothing that would sway me from
getting a cheaper XBOX 360.
With the Wii you get the ability to download lots of great classic
games and a new innovation to work with.
With 360 you get a cheaper comparitive system with the ability to play
games and dvds in HD format.
I've seen what 360 and Nintendo are offering thus far and Sony is like
the lame duck behind them both. >> Stay informed about: PS3 Controller has no Rumble?? And doesnt quite COPY ninte.. |

Sure, at the moment things do seem this way, but I really think, and this is
just my opinion, that the PS3, once the second wave of games roll in, is
going to be out in front in terms of graphics and gameplay. No, I don't
have evidence of this.
The two processors powering 360 and PS3 are drastically different. There is
no way anyone can tell you that the games will be exactly the same on both
systems. If the past is any judge, its safe to say Sony will have the better
games. >> Stay informed about: PS3 Controller has no Rumble?? And doesnt quite COPY ninte.. |

its different technology... sony does it without the need of extra hardware
around your TV. So maybe they went with no needing the hardware, and ditched
the rumble. It was probably one way or the other. >> Stay informed about: PS3 Controller has no Rumble?? And doesnt quite COPY ninte.. |

it's a pretty lame excuse really. if rumbled interfered with a
game then certainly the developers would not use rumble! it's not
like the controler just shakes by itself.
