The unveiling of the PlayStation 4 is still two days away, yet we’ve already heard a great deal about what to expect from it. Last week, an alleged picture of the system’s controller was published by Destructoid, and despite being only a single image, it was extremely telling. It showed off two major components that we’d heard about before in a touchpad and light bar, although physically seeing them was a great deal different than simply hearing about them. While some are already bemoaning these two additions, I don’t think their inclusion is inherently problematic.
Should you be doubting the authenticity of the photo, sources have confirmed to IGN and Kotaku that this is the real deal. It is, mind you, a prototype, meaning it can and is likely to change, both in terms of feature set and looks. What matters, though, is that Sony apparently has real plans on including both a touchpad and a PlayStation Move sensor in the PS4’s controller.
