Rumble company admits to Sony negotiations

In a report by GameDaily Biz, Canadian company SplitFish GameWare Inc. has admitted to initiating discussions with Sony over its new SensorFX technology, according to the company's president, Ken Tetterington. The company maintains that its new dynamic force feedback system would operate successfully without interfering with the motion and directional sensor technologies found in consoles such as the PS3's SIXAXIS controller.

Yet in an earlier report, Sony spokesman Dave Karraker denied being in contact with SplitFish, and furthermore, stated that Sony has no immediate plans to implement any sort of rumble function into the PS3's controller.

Tetterington respectfully disagrees, informing the reporter that, "SplitFish is devoted to bringing our controller technologies such as the SensorFX and EdgeFX to the PlayStation 3 and other next generation gaming systems so that consumers can have the most exciting, immersive gaming experience possible. We have met recently and continue discussions with Sony Computer Entertainment of America specifically related to SplitFish's up coming PS3 gaming technology portfolio. However, SCEA have not, as they have stated, yet seen our very recent force feedback technology."

Irresistible force, say hello to immovable object.
