Given the high level of negative pushback that the lost feature has created already, I can't see how it won't happen.
But "what about the feud between Immersion and SCE?" you ask! The simple answer is, that in the business world, stacks of money and a percentage end all arguments.
Moving on to the PlayStation Store, it will be fixed (it has to be). The PS3's top network engineers will realize that an Xbox 360 clone is the best way to go and will design a front end that moves away from the sloppy web-based interface that we have now. We'll get section blades, better classifications and plenty of user customization options just like we want. More importantly, though, the servers will be upgraded to 2007-level speeds. Half an hour for 50MB downloads will be a thing of the past (just like it was on PC five years ago). |
It would not be a surprise to me. And honestly, I would be glad if they are deciding to take the 'high road' on this one and settle for putting a rumble feature back on.
Like I said before, having a xbox live clone wouldn't be bad. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! But, these are just predictions, of course.
