首发战神blog，http://blog.sina.com.cn/x360

注：Harrison的答复比较不是很直接，翻译可能造成误导。如果英文好，战神建议看原文。当然，战神仔细看过并研究了原文，依然无法分析出PS3手柄会不会加入震动。

1UP: We have one question we have to ask you before we go. A couple days ago you resolved the Immersion/Sony case. What does that mean for PlayStation gamers? After months and months of "well the controller's great because it's really lite" and now rumble is going to make it a little heaver. I mean, that's a bit of a PR nightmare to sort of have backed away from a tech and now saying, "We're all back together again so it's OK".

1UP：在结束采访前，我们还有最一个问题必须要提一下。几天前Immersion公司和索尼的官司结案了。这对于PS3玩家来说意味着什么？几个月来索尼一直表示六轴手柄很棒，因为六轴手柄很轻，加上震动会变重。对于索尼公关部门来说，之前的言论和现在的表态是不是很矛盾？


Harrison: First of all, we've just kissed and made up. We've just settled our differences. And, as we've said in the announcements, we're looking at ways to work together. And it's genuine; those really are the intentions. As to previous statements that I made, what do you expect me to say? We were in a lawsuit; we were in litigation. Of course I have to defend our view. And you know, actually, I still truly believe having the SIXAXIS controller, the way it is, is the best way to control games. We're looking forward to working with Immersion going forward, and who knows where that will lead us.

Harrison：首先，Immersion公司和索尼和好了，并解决了双方的分歧。双方已经宣布未来将合作。这是很明智的。这是我们真实的意图。对于我此前的言论，那是因为当时Immersion公司和索尼还在打官司。我必须维护索尼的观点。事实上，我依然真的认为，六轴手柄对于游戏来说是最好的选择。我们期待和Immersion公司的进一步合作。

1UP: But are you listening to what the community is saying? I mean, you said that you personally think the SIXAXIS is great as it is, but the community may be saying otherwise. They're asking for rumble -- does that influence you?

1UP：可是你听过玩家的真实想法吗？你刚才说个人认为六轴手柄非常好，但是玩家可能不这么看。他们想要震动，这对你没有影响吗？

Phil: Of course the community of fans influences a lot of our thinking The great thing about the way the world works is that we're always connected to our users and we're always happy to hear their opinions and thoughts. But you know, some things are not always possible to do, some things are not economically feasible to do, and some things are not practical to do. It's always our job to kind of navigate those issues as effectively as we can.

Harrison：索尼非常重视玩家的意见。索尼经常和玩家联系，同时乐于听取玩家的意见和想法。不过你知道，有些事是无法做到的，有些事因为收益问题而不能做，有些事因为实用性问题而不能做。同时索尼一直在尽力寻找这些事情的解决方法。

战神的看法：六轴有可能加入震动，但是也可能不加入震动。当前的问题在于，Immersion公司让索尼使用专利的期限到2009年，看起来更像是出于销售PS2相关产品的需要。索尼为PS3加入震动可以提高竞争力，但是也要考虑首批PS3和游戏购买者情绪，PS3手柄加入震动的硬件成本，以及09年之后的使用费。目前PS3已经给索尼造成巨额亏损，SCE有限的资源是否会用在震动上？毕竟PS3当前的首要问题还是游戏。

搭车问个问题，是不是WII和360都为了震动功能付给Immersion公司巨额款项？

那么是不是N64，PS，PS2，DC都付了这笔费用？

Immersion公司岂不是超赚？并且可以永远赚下去？


有谁懂这方面的麻烦解 ...

任天堂：采用不同的技术实现震动。Immersion公司没有起诉过任天堂。

微软：交了1990万美元，永久免费使用Immersion公司专利到死。

索尼：到2009年。之后，要么交钱，要么自己研究新的解决办法。

虾米？NGC的震动技术和PS2是不一样的？？不都是两个小马达么


难道SONY就不可以学任天堂，自己搞别的技术么，例如三个马达，四个马达。总能找到路子回避Immersion公司呀。

事实是，IMMERSION没有起诉任天堂。。。

你不服也没有用。。。

这不简单吗，推出带震动的零售版PS3手柄，价格与不带震动的一个价，但是主机配的就是不震的，要震就要买第二个手柄。

像WII，标配是双节棒，而对应WII的传统手柄就是选购的配件。

这样的话震动使用率不高，第三方不给游戏加入震动功能。具体可以参考PS3很多游戏不支持网战，但是X360版就支持。

微软为什么能捡个便宜呢？

微软勇于承认错误，并积极配合，Immersion被微软高尚的人格魅力征服了~

看到的另一种说法：索尼同样是永久免费使用Immersion公司专利到死，而专利使用费在三年内付清。

请问英文原文是什么？

没有见过你所提的“另一种说法”。

索尼给IM总额1.5亿，其中其中侵权费9720万美元。专利费5310万美元，其中的2250万美元为未来3年的专利使用费（到09年）。

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne ... 6uk&refer=japan

A jury in Oakland, California, found in September 2004 that Tokyo-based Sony infringed two Immersion patents for so-called haptic technology, used in PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles to make game controllers vibrate with the onscreen action. The jury awarded $82 million, which grew to $90.7 million with the judge's addition of interest and costs.

With interest, that figure increased to $97.2 million, Ambler said. Sony also paid about $30.6 million as a compulsory license for the past two years, money which Immersion treated as deferred revenue. Sony will make 12 more quarterly licensing payments totaling $22.5 million through the end of 2009 and may pay other royalties during the period, Ambler said.

IM赚到死啊```数钱数到手疼啊!!

其实这也是索尼自找的。当初IM一上诉，微软立刻找IM认错：兄弟，哥哥错了。该多少钱，你说。IM感动的眼泪花花的：大哥，有你这句话，齐了。钱哥哥你看着给，只要兄弟还活一天，哥哥你就免费使。微软：兄弟，哥哥什么都不说了。你也是做生意的，出来混也不容易。除了这笔钱，哥哥再买你10%的股票。。。
