Of course they did. It's marketing, what do you expect them to say? "We're currently in a legal issue over rumble and as such we will not be shipping the controllers with rumble support"
And Nintendo to say: "We're trying a new direction with a console that is going to be, unquestionably, the weakest hardware offering this generation. BUT! We have a new controller"
For Microsoft, "The Xbox 360, admittedly, has a myriad of issues that are causing it to fail at a reported rate of anywhere from 25% to 33% of units that are sold. Happy shopping!"
Remember that all three hardware manufacturers are still businesses. As such, they've got one objective that outshines the others by a ridiculously large amount: At the end of the day, they're _all_ out for your money.
