As part of the truce, Sony will pay San Jose-based Immersion $97.2 million in damages and interest, as stipulated in the original court award that Sony was appealing. Sony will also pay $22.5 million in licensing payments through 2009 plus an unspecified amount of fees and royalties. In total, Sony will cough up at least $150.3 million to settle the litigation, when factoring in $30.6 million in compulsory license payments the Japanese company has already paid.
Not a bad chunk of change for Immersion. Apparently their stock jumped 32% after this news broke. So how long will it be till we see a sixaxis controller with rumble now that Sony has the permission? I'm guessing PS4.

There won't be a PS4 because PS3 is future proof dumbass. Seriously.
Where do you here this "future proof" lies from? The chips in the PS3 are already out of date. The hardware is all out of date. Sony will have a new format for movies 2 years from now making their own PS3 last gen.
On another note, you read the news, but you don't write any news. We need some Wii news in here.
Future proof!
