Playstation 2 is NOT coming to an end. It's just they have to discontinue producing Duelshock controllers as it violates the patents of Immersion Corp.
Course, Sony is the only company that IC can go after, as:
1) From what I heard on the Flying Omelette boards, Microsoft owns about 10%, so their controllers are safe.
2) Nintendo already had the rumble feature with the Rumble Pak. I guess since they had the patents already, they could expand the Rumble Pak directly into the controller, so it may be able to avoid infringments of the patent.
Wonder if they'll go after the 3rd party makers of Sony controllers as well?
