what the absolute fuck is the point of having biometric capabilities on a controller

aside from a shoddy justification on their part for charging $60 per controller

and oh god lol

QuoteSources told CVG Sony has tested new controllers with biometric sensors on the grips and an LCD touch-screen.


sony innovation at its finest: do whatever nintendo does [glow=black,2,300]but somehow make it worse[/glow]

if this increases the production costs of the controller too much, then it's likely that the ps4 really won't be all that much more powerful than the wii u in order to keep it affordable for both the consumers and sony itself nyandood;

prediction: biometric sensors will be about as successful for sony as the sixaxis was

That looks like a Gamecube's controller port. sillydood;
Because it is. I would guess that picture is by a third-party developer who bought a PS4 dev kit
and that same developer has also created games for Wii and owns its dev kit

[spoiler=wii development hardware](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ejjDJbat8lM/Tgx7Li-r3ZI/AAAAAAAAFEw/1CWw3Abxiyk/s1600/Wii_Development_Kit_1.jpg)[/spoiler]

the grey box on the bottom of tec's image is the development playstation device; its controller is connected by USB. Wii just happens to be stacked on top of it and in the background of the image.

i noticed that too befuddlement

the developer might have placed an old nintendo dev kit on top of it
