Lol, this is rediculous. I thought the basic/common concepts/etc. couldn't be patented, just the specific design? They're not using their design or anything, they just simply have a vibration function in their controllers. That's like IBM suing AMD simply because they make processors, even though they're not the same designs.

If you've ever seen the transparent Xbox controller you'll see that there's actually a little half-circle thing inside that spins around to make it vibrate. The PS controllers look too small for something like that to fit inside, as do the GC controllers.

That's exactly what the PS2's controllers use. I've opened up one that stopped working a week ago, and now have a transparent blue one, they use a large half circle chunk of metal that spins around a shaft on a motor in one of the grips, and another small one in the other grip.
