And afaik, they're copying Wii U's controller - so better brace yourself!! But I agree that at the moment, Sony will have a much better launch of PS4 than PS3/Vita; just how good remains to be seen. |
I don't think anyone is disputing that Sony still makes mistakes, but they did not repeat the mistakes PS3 made with the Vita, and there's no indication they will with the PS4.
PS3's biggest mistakes were complex architecture, massive loss on console, associated costs with tech in console and poor launch window titles. Vita had a brilliant launch regarding software, is sold for a small loss at most, and has very simple architecure. We know PS4 will have simple architecture and uses "off the shelf" parts, so costs won't be wild.
The rumour about the PS4 controller states it will have a touch pad, similar to Vita's back touch pad but smaller and replaces the PS button, start and select. Here's a mockup:
That does not look like what the Wii U does much at all.
