PS3 did eventually implement rumble in the dual shock 3, mostly due to fan and press outcry. while Natal as it is called (and sadly will be stuck being called... dumb name) will have no rumble support, there is no real good way to implement it there. If you look a little deeper, most of the Natal supported beta testing is around gesture recognition for navigating menus, and voice recognition. having a conversation with a character shouldn't have rumble support. Natal will have to be very carefully implemented by Microsoft in order to take off. They have said publicly as well that they are not trying to replace modern controllers. merely to compliment them in games where such motion and voice support would seem logical.
