SCE president Kaz Hirai has announced the Dualshock 3 controller for PlayStation 3 in his keynote Tokyo Game Show speech this morning, confirming that it will include vibration features and that nine titles on the event's show floor - including Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4 - will feature full support. The much-rumoured peripheral will launch in Japan in November this year. American and European gamers will have to wait until spring 2008.

Confirmed: DualShock 3 Rumble Identical to DualShock 2 Tech
"Apparently Phil Harrison wasn't kidding when he said that rumble is a last-gen feature, because the rumble in the DualShock 3 is the same, Sony told GameDaily BIZ. "
"Otzman said that "battery life depends on how often the rumble feature is used." She added, "When the rumble feature is completely turned off, it's equivalent with the Sixaxis (maximum of 30 hours) and when the rumble feature is active it's about 15 hours, under SCE standard testing conditions.""
