Sony Computer Entertainment's President and COO Kazuo Hirai officially announces at the Tokyo Game Show what journalists have already uncovered for themselves, namely official support for force feedback in PlayStation 3 wireless controllers. In his keynote address at the Tokyo Game Show vein with the PS2 controllers, the new rumble-ready PS3 controllers will be called Dual Shock 3.

Dual Shock 3 will retain the motion sensing control functionality already available on current "Sixaxis" PS3 controllers whilst incorporating internal vibration motors for force feedback, just like the Dual Shock 2. SCE did not clarify whether or not Dual Shock 3 emerged as a result of its settlement with Immersion; Hirai would only state SCE finally found a way to get force feedback working alongside the Sixaxis motion control. The Dual Shock 3 is scheduled for release in Japan this November, and "early 2008" for North America and Europe.  From the press release, a list of the titles currently expected to receive Dual Shock 3 support:
