Yeah but to say that they're "discontinuing" and "removing all memories of it" sounds a bit cynical...

But like Stu said, it's a big PR thing... Did you expect them to delay the whole console because of a lack of rumble in it's controllers, without any solid knowledge of when that issue would be resolved?
And if it somehow was just a willing decision on their part, and not due to the lawsuit... Well...

Does anybody remember this little analog-stickless guy?


Which was replaced in August '97 by this little rumbleless guy?


Which was replaced less than a year later, in May '98, by the original Dualshock...
