Sony should raise "stick shakers" as prior art.
Many real aircraft have had "stick shakers" for
years and years. These apply forceful feedback
to the joystick or control yoke when the plane
is entering a range of flight that might lead
to a wing stall. These existed long before force
feedback was a gleam in any game developer's eye.

I'll bet a clever lawyer could bring that up as
"prior art".
