For those that may have missed it, there is a pretty strong groundswell of grumbling in the industry regarding new information released on the PS3 and what it could mean for Sony in general (IGN has a couple decent articles that sum it up which i've linked below..)
Add to that the "real" reason that PS3 will not have rumble technology in the controllers (ummm: legal battle regarding their stealing the rumble technology. My interpretation of a Sony design meeting: "well we can't use the rumble tech that we stole anymore what do we do now?", "hmmmm. hear me out guys... i know we can't steal technology anymore so why don't we just steal ideas? nintendo seems to have something going on." "BRILLIANT!")
